@SketchesbyBoze It's so esoteric and obscure that my HS drama club did a (very commonly staged) one act spoof, "The Idiot and the Oddity" in 1999. How did we fall so far and so fast?
@KendraMiddleton I live 10 minutes away from "Boston stadium" and felt the same way until I went to downtown Providence this evening. Tourist fans EVERYWHERE! It was pretty awesome. The Ghana team is staying there, practicing at Bryant, & downtown Providence had a really active FanZone going on.
@kassieepstein I saw tons of Scots and Ghanaians in downtown Providence this evening. Overall it was hopping, it is less than 30 minutes from Gillette after all.
@TheCinesthetic I was a HS theater kid, hanging with my fellow theater kids. I lost movie picking privileges in perpetuity for having us go see this in the theaters. Its good to know 25 years later I chose correctly.
@FiredUpCoug I don't know, I can make shredded chicken for tacos or nachos in under 30 minutes that is tender and tasty. Also, hard boiled eggs in less than 10 minutes start to finish.
@limitbreak666@podrace_EXPLODE Yes! I get the intention, but LARPers are the exact opposite of the people they're trying to describe. They are whole heartedly nerdy and dgaf about what anyone has to say about their hobby.
@cwrichardson@bashu_thanks I agree re: the vernacular, it causes parents to have unrealistic expectations of their baby's communication abilities. 2 word phrases don't start until around 18m. The OP's nephew is labeling things to a communication partner at 10 months, he's WAY ahead of the game.
@cwrichardson@bashu_thanks Single words are speech- the baby is approximating the word for cat (/ka/) whenever he sees the cat. He's made the connection that those sounds in that sequence label the object (cat). He just isn't capable of producing consonant vowel consonant combos yet motorically.
