Memphis at 16 - that seems a bit high to me. I’d need some convincing.

It’s like they have been carefully preparing all of their adult lives to be able to perform this cosplay, lol.

I didn’t realize it until reading this, but this was the scene where I really fell in love with both characters, and both actors, and felt personally like they became part of the family (so to speak) of my Star Wars fandom, apparently still growing nigh on 35 years.

Turns out it wasn’t just a metaphor. Did he say any other things that should maybe have been taken literally?

Ball so. . .hard?

A more civilized age.

Do you think they are tilting the camera because of these guys or because MLB is ashamed to show this nearly empty stadium section on national TV during opening week?

Such feelings of delight and disgust, thrill and shame all mingled in.

While I support you totally (as you are correct), I am too nerdy and scared to get involved, so I just cower in the shadows and dream of a time when nerds will have their revenge.

There’s a bunch of them in Nashville - it’s becoming the cool status symbol car here for the tech crowd, seems like.

They can’t do that, then they would lose the ‘$3 for a cup of coffee is ridiculous’ moral high ground. Because the thrifty thing to do is clog up a store aisle like your last name is Kroger.
