Every now and then I wonder if I'm actually a nerd because I post on these forums, and then I'm reminded that "no, I am not." when 12 of ya'll launch into page-long discussions of poo poo like this:

Alaemon posted:

Pirates was my first, but admittedly the Joseph Papp production with Kevin Kline (who I still quite like as Pirate King). The thing the Papp does especially well that I love is the humor behind "With Cat-Like Tread." The Pirates doing this super-fortissimo song about being stealthy is always funny to me, and the movie goes full-bore with that aspect.

I play a bard in a friend's D&D campaign and I randomly blurted out a verse of Modern-Major General mid-session (because something made me think "I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's..." was germane). It was one of those awkward moments where I thought "I'm sitting here playing D&D and I still might be too nerdy for this crowd."

Without delving into the debate surrounding Mikado, I think it's one of their best works. Both G and S are at the top of their respective games. Give me a good performance of "The Sun Whose Rays" and I am doing fine. It's one of those pieces like (non-G&S) "Un bel di" or the Flower Duet from Lakme that put me in (the closest thing my dark, shriveled heart has to) my happy place.

Whenever I see my name in a news article my blood pressure jumps as I scan for what was misquoted or misunderstood. In particular the regular court reporters are at times comically bad at getting what’s going on.

A little while ago I actually corrected the news reports on the record “for the benefit of the court.” The judge replied “that doesn’t help me at all. I don’t know why you’re telling me this.”

I'm enjoying Kiryu more but I'm only at chapter 5. Majimas intro was phenomenal though

kiryu being 100% serious when fighting Yakuza crime lords and also 100% serious when karaoking or answering the phone is phenomenal. It's really got metal gear vibes of tonal whiplash that elevates the material

Ok

So

Yakuza 0 Majima isn't the same Majima as the rest of the series in terms of temperament. He's like Japanese Deadpool. But way more awesome.

Also why are kiryu and majima forced to wear shirts so much, there's no reason they should ever do that

My wife: "Every Kiryu sub-story is the same. Someone does something wrong. Kiryu makes a stank face and beats everyone to death."

My high school theatre teacher met Sondheim. It was the night of our year 12 formal (equivalent of senior prom, I think), and Sondheim was doing a talk in the city, so I went basically straight from that to the formal. When I got there, the teacher told me what had happened and why he was late. He'd been at a hotel bar and when he went to the bathroom, Sondheim walked in, to which all he could think of to say was "oh my God, you're Stephen Sondheim! You made me not hate musical theatre." They briefly chatted, and Sondheim invited him back to his table, where he was sitting with his good mate Geoffrey Rush. They invited him to hang out but he declined and came to the formal instead, for reasons I will never understand, but aren't "stdh".
