Some great fun stuff

Darth Vader calls the Emperor (from Robot Chicken)

Bottom of the 10th, Game 6 of the 1986 World Series - RBI Baseball Style

What if the Beatles did Stairway?

As you may be able to tell, in addition to economics I have a slight interest in sports.  Well, maybe slight is not the right word.  Baseball is a clear #1 on my list.  The picture is linked to a baseball page that has various odds and ends on it.

Dominican Republic vs. Italy, March , 2006
Not a bad top 5 for the Dominican team, especially with Soriano and Tejada on the bench.

Given that I wrote a dissertation based on the baseball card industry, one might guess that I actually have a baseball card collection.  One would be correct.  Click on Tom Seaver to read about baseball cards.  Actually there is no need to click on Tom Seaver as I have a forthcoming chapter in a book volume on the Post-WWII Baseball Card Industry.  Perhaps one day I will chronicle my cards on the site.

If having a PhD in Economics, being a fan of baseball, and having a baseball card collection doesn't qualify me as a geek, then I suppose that my interest in Star Wars must put me over the edge.  Click on Yoda to see a discussion of some of the economics present in Star Wars.  ***Again, not complete.  No Yoda picture yet.***

Some of my favorite movie quotes are here.  I'll try to add some explanation as to why I like them. I'll add more as I think of them - sometimes it takes the right situation to jog your memory.
