Today is, of course, March 14th, which – for my American readers, anyway – comes to 3.14.2020. And if you squint really hard, that is approximately the same as the famous mathematical constant, pi – which, to the first 12 places or thereabouts, comes to 3.14159265359.
(Don’t ask me how I know this from memory. Some stories are too geeky to tell.)
Now, it used to be that May the 4th – also known as “Star Wars Day” – was every nerd’s favourite day of the year, simply because STAR WARS was actually fun once upon a time. But now that it has descended into subversive woke-scolding and downright appallingly bad storytelling, any and all allegiance to the franchise should be discarded – beyond, of course, repeated rewatchings of the classic trilogy.
Hell, even the prequels look good compared to the Devil Mouse Trilogy.
I mean, HOW BADLY DO YOU HAVE TO PHUCK UP in order to make JAR JAR FREAKIN’ BINKS seem like a better casting and directorial choice than Emo Darth Vader?!?
And another thing – [20,000-word rant about the appallingly stupid and atrociously bad Disney trilogy deleted for sake of brevity and reader sanity]
Anyway – we might as well get on with celebrating a pointless nerdy day by watching a really pointless, and mostly terrible, show that bags constantly on nerds:
There are actually some genuinely funny, heartwarming, and brilliant moments in that series. But overall, it was one long series of really stupid and cheesy crudely sexual in-jokes at the expense of nerds and geeks everywhere.
Still and all, that particular episode was pretty funny.
Speaking of nerdy stuff:

I actually liked The Big Bang Theory show. The Sheldon Cooper character was the one who made it so successful and it's a shame that he is leaving to pursue projects with gay and sjw content.
In 3rd rock from the sun they use it as a cheer for the football team. I can't render why but I can remember 3.14159.
