The Brooklyn Bridge and the battle of Little Bighorn happened the same year. And there were Native Americans who fought in the battle that were still alive to see man walk on the moon. So in the span of one lifetime we went from Custard’s last stand, to one giant leap for all mankind.

Good point, but it's "Custer", not " Custard".

Although I kinda like the idea of a trembling, gelatious shape being the asshole that led the charge at Little Bighorn...

I don't know if it was a chain or a one-off, but a strip mall not far from where I grew up opened a frozen custard stall called Custard's Last Stand. I went in there exactly once. They served me a waffle cone full of a grey substance that resembled drywall plaster. It tasted alright but it needed some sprinkles or something.

Custard’s last stand

Doubtlessly took place in a cath lab.
