It's cheesy to say it this way but the Luke/Vader cave scene does work on multiple levels; Sean's right that it's an early experience for some of us with the power of symbolism. I remember trying to tease out what it meant also. First, it is what Sean's dad said: Luke wasn't ready. It also showed Luke that if he acted…

My dad taking me to see Star Wars when i was 6. It had been out for a while already. It was my first time going to a movie with just my dad. I was awestruck. I had no conception of what it was beforehand.
We stopped by the grocery store on the way home and in the checkout line, they had Star Wars figures for sale. I…

No, they have hobos in France, too.

Macron already threw shade at Trump on Twitter so I'm sure this was an outgrowth of that. Good to see Macron brought it here, too.

I don't know. The last time we had a room full of people laughing at Trump was the Press Correspondents Dinner and we wound up with him as president as a result. This time I could see him grabbing the football from his aide and calling in a nuke strike on his location just to get everybody back.

Dramatization!Maynothavehappened!

Until the "kill you instantly" part I was gonna say that was my mushroom experience.

First time I did mushrooms was the debut of "Last Exit to Springfield".
Needless to say, we giggled our asses off for three hours. Then when outside and got into an argument over if a nearby construction barrier was a construction barrier or a dude smoking a cigarette.

I think we're parked.

That's not pasta, MAAANNNNN

Lay of the mushrooms, man.

He's a bit much.

Sidebar: What did you think of the concert last night?

Oh shit somebody tap Daesim! He's quip-locked!

I always thought there was a pretty clear divide between Nirvana Grohl and Foo Fighters Grohl.

I bought this album and burned every nook and cranny of it into my memory by playing it nearly constantly that year. It is inextricably linked to moving to Georgia from Houston to go to grad school. I had this on as I worked my way through first my small southern town, then nearby Atlanta. My Hero is probably my…

Dave Grohl absolutely needed Foo Fighters. Understandably he was clearly in a dark bad place (think about him breaking down into tears at an MTV awards show where he said he still thinks about Kurt every day) and rather than put out an album that continued Nirvana's angst and nihilism, he put out fun, broad rock music…

What breed of Libertarian did he become? I'd say that an Oregon or Washington Libertarian is a much different sort than, say, a Texas Libertarian.

I finally caved and bought Nevermind after "In Bloom" came out, primarily because I loved that bassline and how the guitar synched up with it.

Colour and the Shape is the only Foo Fighters album I own, but even so I'm just happy to see them whenever they crop up. They're like seeing an old friend again or something.
