They walked in silence before Roberta broke it again. “So... Scott?”

The blond turned towards her and replied with a soft “hm?”

“I heard you and Brett got into the softball team. Congrats.”

“Uh, yeah. Thanks. We didn’t really expect it, but we hoped.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“Huh?”

“I mean, of course you’d get in. You’re two of the best players out there!”

Scott blinked. “Then you should be on the team too.” He blurted out impulsively.

It was Roberta’s turn to blink, slightly taken aback by his confession. Did he just declare she was a great player? That she was good? Well, he did mention the other night when they had their little basketball duel; that she was ‘pretty good’ for a girl... or guy, whatever that meant, but she didn’t think that he’d thought of her as good enough for a team as exceptional as their state’s. She didn’t realise that she had on a face until Scott’s voice broke her train of thoughts.

“Roberta? Are... you okay?” His voice laced with a twinge of fear, worried he might’ve offended her.

“Huh? Yeah, yeah, I’m fine.” She replied lamely. “Sorry, I kinda spaced out back there.”

Scott looked at her, unconvinced by her answer and felt a pang of guilt suddenly. “Sorry if I offended you. You probably would’ve loved to try out for the team and here I was seeming like I was rubbing it in your face. That wasn’t my intention, I swear.”

Roberta blinked at him yet again. What? He thought he’d offended her? He had just given her one of the best compliments anyone could ever give her and now he thinks he had offended her?

“No, you didn’t offend me at all! I was just- It’s just... I’ve never had anyone... compliment me like that before. It’s really flattering, don’t get me wrong- but wow-” she holds her forehead, “-a little overwhelming.”

“You’ve never gotten a compliment before?”

“Not like that at least. I’m...  Thanks.” She finished lamely once again.

“Well, um... Thanks for yours too.”

[nadjaofstatenisland]

I read your Rivermoms Now and Then post and just out of curiosity, who would be Scott Wormer and who would be Chrissy’s husband?

Hmmmm. Fred for Scott and Hal for Chrissy's husband? That feels right. Doesn't Chrissy marry the nerdy boy from when they were kids?

Also Gladys is Janeane Garofalo's character.

[stylesinthewild]

Omg, Now & Then changed my life. I just watched it for the fist time in like 10 years last week and it holds up. SCOTT WORMER SAID CONSENT.

HE REALLY DID.

#MarkerMonday

Bogertown

This small early 19th century community of ten houses assumed the name of its prominent colonial Dutch residents, the Bogert family. C. 1824 this road, Paradise Ave., was lengthened through the salt marshes to a 500- foot pier on the Hudson to accommodate steam vessels. The adjoining creek had been deepened and rerouted c. 1740, becoming the first water level entry to this area then called Tappan Landing. First called "The Slote" (Dutch for "ditch"), the stream became known as the Spar Kill.

#Marco-Marathon | Transformers | Prime

Animated series Name: Transformers Prime | Season 1 (2010); Production studios: Hasbro Studios, K/O Paper Products, Polygon Pictures, Darby Pop Productions, Digitalscape Co. Ltd.; Directors: David Hartman, Shaunt Nigoghossian, Vinton Heuck, Todd Waterman, Scooter Tidwell, Kirk Van Wormer, Kevin Altieri; Screenwriters: Jeff Klein, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Nicole Dubuc, Joseph Kuhr, Mairghread Scott, Marty Isenberg, David McDermott, Robert N.

"Transformers: Prime" Season 1 (2010-2011) is an exciting animated series that successfully combines nostalgia for the classics with a modern style. The plot focuses on the struggle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, adding depth through the "Darkness Rising" and "One Shall Rise" arcs. The animation is impressive with the detail of the robots, although it is less expressive for humans. The voice acting of Peter Cullen (Optimus) and Frank Welker (Megatron) adds charisma to the series.

Despite a few episodic stories, strong final arcs make up for the slower moments. Four stars – a spectacular and dramatic series for fans of all generations.

Problematic Movies of the '80s | Revenge of the Nerds (1984)

By Don Hall

In high school (1980–1984) I was part of a group of four known throughout the school as The Four Guys. There was Lynn, the eventual valedictorian of our class who was about four foot eleven with a huge strawberry birthmark on his face. Lew, a Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast who was both a drummer in the band and played the organ for fun. Merc (his last name was Mercer and, given we were both named Don, the abbreviation stuck) a soft-hearted Christian rock kid with a goofy smile and built like a Great Dane pup. And me. Known as Don R. because I signed my name with the middle initial and my debate coach thought that was funny.

We did skits in classes that didn’t call for them. We played hearts at lunch. We were all four in the band. Lynn was super-smart as was Lew. I was bigger and louder than my three friends so when the jocks wanted to beat on us, they always had to go through me first. Lynn and I were debate partners and led our team to regional, state, and national victories. We all four loved computer class with Coach Strong. We graduated as the top four in our tiny class: Lynn, then Lew, then Merc, then me.

We were nerds.

We didn’t really care that we were nerds nor that the football players made fun of us. My girlfriend and I broke up my senior year so Lew was my prom date and we had a ball. Lynn probably never once saw himself as a nerd because he was so razor sharp that he just carried himself as slightly bullet proof. Of course, I was almost always in some sort of battle with the jocks because I had (had?) such a big goddamn mouth, but we were nerds of the highest level.

We graduated in 1984 and all four of us went of to college just like Lewis (Robert Carradine) and Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) in a movie that sought to define the dilemma faced by nerds across America.

What film is more iconic of the ‘80s than Revenge of the Nerds? What iconic film of the ‘80s is more prescient for today?

It is easy to connect the idea of the Nerds using the hazing tactics and bullying methods against their Frat Boy and Sorority Sister Oppressors to the social justice movements of today. In 2019, the marginalized, outcast, oppressed minorities of identity have taken to utilizing the strategies of the Alt Right to turn the table on them. In the ‘80s it was the wealthy frat boys using public shaming and media shout outs to shame the Left into losing elections. Today, the Rage Profiteers on the Fringe Left use online call outs, prank videos, and YouTube gotcha moments to do the same thing.

Don’t get me wrong, the Alt Right uses these tools as well but the Radical SJWs out there are smarter than them and far better at it. Just recently there’s been squawk about the scene at the end when the head of the Bad Guy Sorority gets tricked into having sex with the head nerd, so that may be quite problematic. Nikki Sixx, in his book The Dirt and the subsequent Netflix film, tells a random story about having sex with a groupie who was so wasted that he switched out with Tommy Lee and she didn’t notice, which sounds similarly horrifying, was in real life, and Motley Crüe were hardly nerds.

Anyway, that’s about all I can remember. This was not one of my favorite comedies of the day but I recall liking it.

Revenge of the Nerds Directed by Jeff Kanew Written by Tim Metcalfe, Miguel Tejada-Flores, Steve Zacharias, & Jeff Buhai

The set up is relatively simple and the film wastes little time establishing things through the use of broad stereotypes. Gilbert and Lewis are nerds going to college. They drive up to Adams College, get a dorm room, and due to the stupid jock frat (the Alpha Betas) who burn their house down by drunkenly blowing fireballs at a set of curtains, are moved with an entire group of nerds to a corner of the gymnasium. Here they meet Booger (Curtis Armstrong), Poindexter (Timothy Busfield), Lamar (Larry B. Scott), and Takashi (Brian Tochi). The group of nerds find a rundown house on campus, fix it up, and apply to be a fraternity house.

They only manage to become a probationary member of Lambda Lambda Lambda, a black national fraternity, through a by-law. When the Alpha Betas are threatened by the nerds joining their game, they try to destroy them and the nerds fight back and win. It’s not terribly complex and it isn’t supposed to be. Relying on the caricatures of drunken white frat boy jocks, big-boned nerd girls in the Omega Moo sorority, John Goodman as an abusive asshole football coach, David Wohl as the milquetoast Dean, and the broad swath of nerds in the Tri-Lambda frat makes for some quick setups and quicker storytelling.

It is notable that venerated actor James Cromwell is listed as “Jamie Cromwell” in his short role as Lewis’ father.

Problematic Moments/Themes

Oh, Nelly — there are almost a catalogue list of jokes, images, and plot points of things 2019 would consider problematic.

The caricature of Takashi (Asian, pigeon English, a series of jokes around his inability to pronounce “Rs,” and perhaps the most bizarre — in the talent contest, these brainiacs decided to take the stereotyped Asian kid, dress him up as a Native American chief with feathered headdress and have him play the gong. Not only problematic but completely unnecessary.

Lamar is gay. You know he’s gay because he speaks like a girl, does aerobics, has a limp wrist and brings a guy as his date to the frat party.

Once the nerds get hazed by the Pis and Betas, they decide to take — you guessed it — revenge. For the guys, they put Liquid Heat in their jockstraps. For the girls, they stage an elaborate panty raid with plenty of gratuitous naked sorority chick shots, all to create a diversion so that Lamar and Wormer (a genius kid sent to college before he even hit puberty) to rig giant cameras (1980s…) so that they can sit on a couch and peep on the unsuspecting and surprisingly nude sorority girls. The revenge on the guys gets about four minutes of screen time and no tit shots. The revenge on the sorority gets about twenty minutes of screen time and exists almost entirely to showcase 1980s’ co-ed jugs.

And, of course, there’s the rape. And, yes. It is a rape by every definition minus the violence. Betty (the über-chick) is refused by Stan (the alpha-male) for an invitation of sex (“You’re like a goat,” he says) and Lewis, seeing Ted McGinley’s mask, takes it, pretends to be Stan and fucks Betty under these false pretenses in a funhouse. Does it matter that Lewis is so good at sex that Betty, once she sees it isn’t her boyfriend but a nerd, falls in love with Lewis? Nope. Still rape. Does it make any difference at all that Betty is not traumatized or in any sort of distress? Not at all. Still fucking rape.

Sure, at the end there is an odd co-opting of the mantra of the Civil Rights Movement to unify the nerds against the jocks but, for crying out loud, they use the black fraternity members of the national Tri-Lambdas as Black Panther muscle (marginalizing, awkward, and, yes, problematic).

In 2019, unfortunately nerds have become incels (The Involuntarily Celibate) and are so hellbent on the same basic goals as the 1984 Tri-Lambdas that even the theme song evokes images of hostile white guys plotting revenge against women who find them unattractive and end up hating women and sometimes killing them.

Mom packs us a lunch and we're off to school They call us nerds 'cause we're so uncool They laugh at our clothes They laugh at our hair The girls walk by with their nose in the air

So go ahead, put us down One of these days we'll turn it around Won't be long mark my word Time has come for revenge of the nerds

We wear horn-rimmed glasses With a heavy duty lens Button down shirts And a pocket full of pens Straight "A" students Teachers pets They call us nerds But we don't regret

While the jocks work out  With the football team We're trying to score  With the girl of our dreams You know we ain't good looking But here's the surprise (gasp) Nerds are great lovers In disguise (ah)

So go ahead put us down One of these days we'll turn it around Won't be long mark my word Time has come for revenge of the nerds

If I heard a 2019 gamer dude singing this song, I’d alert the authorities.

Did It Hold Up?

Not really. Not even close.

Overall

Scale of 1 to 10 1 = Classic 10 = Burn all VHS copies of it

Revenge of the Nerds gets a 9

Next Up: National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)

World PH Day - phaware® interview 150

A LIVE Global #phaware Activation. Every year on May 5th, pulmonary hypertension organizations and groups around the world participate in World Pulmonary Hypertension Day activities to raise awareness of this rare and often-misdiagnosed disease and to celebrate the lives of the global PH community. This year, phaware global association® invites you to become a #phaware Brand Ambassador! 

phaware® President and Co-Founder, Steve Van Wormer details 5 WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED with the Stream.Live App on Saturday May 5th for #WorldPHDay

Hi. My name is Steve Van Wormer. I'm one of the co-founders of phaware global association. For today's 150th episode of "I'm Aware That I'm Rare: the phaware podcast", we wanted to take a minute to talk about some of the exciting World PH Day activities that are taking place on May 5th, World PH Day.

Everything I'm discussing here can also be found on our website at phaware.global/wphd. Every year, on May 5th, pulmonary hypertension organizations and groups from around the world participate in World Pulmonary Hypertension Day activities to raise awareness, to advocate for patients living with this rare and, often, misdiagnosed disease and to celebrate the lives of the global PH community.

This year, phaware global association is inviting you to become one of our phaware brand ambassadors. What does that mean really? We're putting together a LIVE, global phaware activation and we want you to participate no matter where you are on the planet. We want you to share LIVE videos, to post photos, to participate in a global awareness video that will take place during the 80+ events that are happening all over the world on May 5th.

Ultimately, there's many ways to get involved. We are leveraging an all new live streaming app, called Stream, we are making updates to our phaware365 global selfie app, and we're hosting a number of LIVE, global Q&As with pulmonary hypertension and CTEPH specialists from all around the world. It's really going to be an all day opportunity to engage with events as they happen in real time and toggle between ones that are happening if they are happening simultaneously.

Here are five different ways you can get involved. Most importantly, we want you to download and participate in live stream activities using the Stream app. What that means, is whether you're in Burbank, where I'm talking to you from, Berlin, Barcelona, Buenos Aries, Beijing, what we want to do is really get the global community together. We are looking for patients, caregivers, PH thought leaders, doctors, researchers, specialists, anyone that's connected to this disease in any country that you're at across multiple timezones. You can broadcast LIVE video at World PH Day events taking place around the globe. You do it directly through the Stream app. The reason why we want you to use the Stream app is that it's all going to be broadcast in one place on our On Air with phaware webpage.

Here's the steps. Number one, you have to get the app to participate. You find this FREE app at stream.live. That's S-T-R-E-A-M dot live. You download it off that webpage, you create a username, create a free account, sign up via an email. It'll ask you how you want to sign up, but you want to sign up via an email. Step four, after you create a username, email us at info@phaware.global and let us know your name, what country you're from, a little bit about you, what your connection to PH. Once we get your username, we'll send you a quick email back with the final steps on how to log on and get you live streaming in no time. One question that has come up, it does not matter if your native tongue is not English. We want you to tell your story, stream your story in your voice, your words.

Let's say, for whatever reason, you're not participating in a World PH Day event, there's not an activity in your part of the country or wherever you're from. That's fine. There's another way you can participate, by taking part in an all new global phaware awareness video that we're making. Again, you would be using the Stream app, using the same steps I told you a second ago, but in this case, we want you to just answer five simple questions.

Question one: What's your connection to pulmonary hypertension? Number two: Why is pulmonary hypertension awareness important? Question three: What advice do you have for anybody that's a newly diagnosed patient? A great nugget of advice you would give to anyone that's newly diagnosed. Question four: What is the one thing you wish someone would have told you when you were diagnosed? Number five: Why is pulmonary hypertension research critical for a PH patient? We want to get all these answers and we're going to cut that together to make a global awareness video. Whether you're in Brazil or Canada or Norway or wherever you might be from, we want to hear the voices of the global community and how PH impacts them.

There's another great way you can get involved for World PH Day on our website, which is phaware.global/onair, that's where all this will be broadcast to. We're going to have a series of LIVE, global Q&As with doctors, PH specialists, CTEPH specialists from around the world. There's a way for you to go onto that page and submit your LIVE questions. Doctors who are scheduled to appear: Dr. Eric Austin, Richard Channick, Murali Chakinala, Dr. Scott Manacker, Vic Tapson, Peter Leary. We're putting that together. They're going to take your questions and offer, hopefully, some great insights.

I mentioned before the phaware365 global selfie app. If you haven't got that, you can get that, again, on the app store or on Google Play store. Also on our website at phaware.global/phaware365. For those of you who aren't familiar with the app, that is basically a selfie app that lets you take pictures, decorate them with awareness stickers, frames, and various PH facts. That's another way you can get involved. Also, when you tag all these photos, make sure you're tagging them #phaware and #WorldPHDay.

That's just a few ways that you can get involved, but it really starts with getting the Stream app. Again, that's at stream.live, creating an account, connecting with us in all these different places to really show what your pulmonary hypertension experience is. We've already connected with people in Australia, Canada, Peru, Portugal, Columbia, Norway, Serbia, and on and on and on. We're really hoping that people will continue to download the app, connect to bring us their perspective of World PH Day.

Through all these different ways to get involved, whether it be live streaming the events, participating in the awareness video, participating in the doctor LIVE Q&A, all this information, all this video is going to land on our website at phaware.global/onair. That's where you're going to watch it all. The interesting thing about it ... On the day, on May 5th, you'll just see events as they happen. If more than one event is happening simultaneously, that's fine. You'll be able to click between any number of them. That's the beauty of this Stream app. Whether it's two people, 10 people, 20, or 200, you can watch it all as it happens and as it unfolds LIVE.

Thank you. We look forward to your participation. Finally, I just want to say that if you're listening to this podcast, we thank you so much. Every like, every follow, every listen, every download, it means the world to us. We've hit this podcast in 90+ countries across the world and we're just looking for more and more ways to continue to engage with the global PH community.

We want to share your story. Whether you're a doctor, a patient, a caregiver, a thought leader, whatever you're connection to this rare disease community, we want to highlight that and share that with our global audience. Contact us at phawarepodcast.libsyn.com/contact. It's a little form, tells us a little bit about you and how to connect. You can also email us at info@phaware.global. Thank you so much. We really look forward to your participation on World PH Day. We, hopefully, will see you there. Thanks so much.

My name is Steve Van Wormer and I'm aware that I'm rare.
