\nPrepare groans.<\/em> My wife. Or…getting paid to lightsaber fight on stage.<\/p>\n
\n“Star Wars.” See above question.<\/p>\n
\nPepsi brand, but Coke if it’s one or the other to drink.<\/p>\n
\nI have been called “The Disposal” so…<\/p>\n
\nNo idea really. I can name IT for some things, but others, even I wonder, “Why? Why is that good\/neat\/funny!?” and have no answer for myself. The things I can identify reasons for usually involve a good story, obscure references, or multiple entendre, such as mash ups. NOT PUNS.<\/p>\n
\nMany things, but most of them are incredibly nerdy fandom theory things that we don’t have time for, so ask me on lunch or during an outing and I will talk ad nauseam. Engage at your own risk.<\/p>\n
