If that were the entire sentence, I'd say only the first half is in Yoda-speak, but…
"Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, what, so proudly, we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts, we watched, were so gallantly streaming?"
I feel bad that I have no idea what you are on about, and I don't know why.

"The Star Spangled Banner" is the U.S. National Anthem. The lyrics are the first verse of a poem titled "In Defence of Fort Henry", set to the tune of "The Anachreontic Song". Most people have no idea that the first half of one verse is a single sentence with some very shuffled up grammar. "Yoda-speak" refers to the tendency of the Star Wars character Yoda to chop up his sentences and rearrange them.
The rest of the verse is much saner, as two straight-forward sentences. "And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof, through the night, that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"
I suppose the normal topic for such a post would be in "Ask the next person a question: Revived!", or some wild tangent on a discussion of a page… But let's face it, Sporkbot opened the door for this one…

Hmm, that'd be water with a little lemon juice and a little lime juice. Oh, wait, no, I've barely touched the cup, and it's been… four hours?!?!? Apparently, it's dehydration.

Actually, I was making a joke about the stereotype about how many old time movie characters would make their point by ending everything with the word "see?". I think it's been mostly joked about with a Jimmy Cagney impression.
Also, it was partially derived from a gag on Animaniacs when the Warner Siblings met Earnest Hemmingway.

I caught where ou were going, ya see? But ya dinna run the joke often enough, ya see? Ya also SNAFU'd your grammer too, ya see? The difference between "Let's eat, Grandma!" and "Let's eat Grandma!" is important, ya see? And unless Dave's sketching our White lantern in a Fedora with a tommy gun, we're way off topic, ya see? Now you can try it, ya see? Oh say can, ya see?

It's time for another good idea, bad idea:
Good Idea – Getting your Insider character into the comic
Bad Idea – Joining the EOD to do so. Gratz to Jacobus for the New Avatar!

Ya'll are nuts. Just sayin.
And I'd be your secretary, but only if I get to dress in vintage 1940's dresses and cute hats every day. And I'll need a large expense account to get my hair done daily. Oh, and for those long cigarette holders (no cigarettes, though. Yuck!). Ooh! And nylons. And heels.
I'd be an expensive secretary.
And I'd insult you in that 'trans-continental' accent, but it would be okay because I'd do all of the work and solve the mystery. Because of course this would turn into a mystery, right?
So, when can I start, doll?

Hrm… would you be able to add a really annoying, nasal whine to your voice, Inara? And call Sporky "Mistah S"? 
(why no, I'm not combining genres, whatever do you mean?..  )

Riiiiight, I forgot. Women want to be monetarily compensated for their work these days.
Shoot.
Well, looks like there's only one way outta this one.

Given the way her whole body is star-spangled except for the head and where the white portions are, I'd say it's a full-body suit. Though the ShadowChild entity in the comic usually appears as unclothed as most of Brooke McEldowney's fairies and succubi.

Hm. Kind of has a Captain Universe feel. The only reason I suspected this (one of the times, anyway) was for the white-on-black contrast.

Is it just me, or does she look mortally offended because the viewer just goosed her on her star-spangled situpon?
.. okay, yes, it's probably just me.

We get them everyday or three so you can have a couple. 
I figured SC would be one of the lanterns (I was guessing Black but what do I know.) But I was wondering if you'd use the symbiote or the combined form of her. Guess the question is answered.
