re: #103 Blind Frog Belly White

The Older Boy’s Girlfriend has difficulty following our conversations at times because we often speak in movie references, and her parents didn’t let her go to movies, or even cartoons - which makes it kind of ironic that she’s pursuing a career in animation.

My pop culture knowledge is terrifyingly specific and full of holes. I know a reasonable amount about films I’ve never seen because of conversation/the Internet, but there’s a lot that can still trip me up.

On the other hand, while in line for Pirates of the Caribbean at Disney on Saturday, we ended up getting sucked into one of those guessing games people play on phones, and the kid wanted to do a Star Wars segment. I was giving him clues, and trying to get him to guess “Kessel Run.”

The obvious clue is that the Millenium Falcon can do it in less than 12 parsecs.

Then again, I had those films memorized when I was younger.
