So now I've lost your email address (yes, I may be mildly retarded with new tech gadgets). Getting you into movies won't be a prob, though, man. I work at a theatre in Chapel Hill called the Timberlyne Theatre (for Regal Cinemas), and you're welcome to come over anytime. I just work there for the free movies, drinks and popcorn and I've known the manager there forever. Free stuff for you anytime you're game, bro. Email me anytime you're interested and I'll shoot you my phone #.

They're bored by what's happening on the field (probably because a lot of them aren't really baseball "fans" so they decide to start the wave (and a bunch of clueless idiots follow them).

Yes, I understand the wave is terrible. People having fun at the ballpark — shouldn’t be allowed. Everyone should be silent and focused on the game with the deadly seriousness it deserves.

They can expend their energy cheering on the home team?
