my wonder and whimsy are going to keep me alive in the gladiator ring

i was on the way to the movies & i saw an old guy with a piece of wood over his shoulders. it was huge -- a pole several feet long with a kind of wide fan at the end of it. and i said "what the hell is that?" and he looked at me and had this kind of ear to ear grin, and he said "what do you mean 'what the hell is that'?" and he sat back on his heels, still with that big smile like the sun spilling from the underside of a cloud and waited for me to answer and i said "i mean i don't know why you're walking around with that thing, whatever it is." and he laughed and put down his pole and kinda clapped me on the shoulder. "can i get you a drink?" he said. and i said "no, the show's in ten minutes," and he said "oh? what are you seeing?" and i said "christopher nolan's odyssey, i'm pretty excited," and he sighed and picked up his oar and kept walking.

I don’t get the joke :( someone help me

elucubrare

in some versions of the Odysseus legend, Odysseus leaves Ithaca and is supposed to wander the world carrying a ship's oar until he finds a place where no one knows what it is. here, he encounters someone who doesn't recognize it, but since the narrator is going to see a movie version of the Odyssey, that anonymity can't last & he has to keep wandering.

I just think d.b. cooper drag routine with briefcase/confetti bomb and paper money bag props that ends with jumping of stage with a parachute and death dropping could be cool

So I know that a lot of sources including google are claiming or are under the impression that Ringo Starr doesn't have the elf stones so I just wanted to clear things up reliably once and for all:

Yes, he did post about to gifting them to Barry Keoghan, the actor portraying him in the upcoming films, as a good luck charm for his role. However, the photo he posted was of him handing Keoghan a small leather sack, while elf stones famously erode all kinds of skin. Additionally, Ringo is on the record (I think? I swear I read this but I can't find the interview. Please reach out if you know what I'm talking about) that he keeps the stones away from cameras to prevent power-dampening effects.

It's likely that what he gave was a pouch of prop elf stones as a show of good faith, which could also be related to the old legend that a false elf stone will become real in a moment of need. Some people when presented with this evidence claim that while the photo was staged, the real stones were handed over in private, but this seems far fetched to me, especially since it's widely accepted that Ringo bound himself to the stones for nine and ninety years when he acquired them.

With all that said: Please stop spreading misinformation about the elf stones. If you don't have all the info, don't state your own assumptions as fact. And please do not listen to google's AI on important topics like these. All signs point to Ringo Starr currently being in possession of the elf stones.

Everybody is so mean to X-Men: The Last Stand but I still think she ate. Just because it's kind of mid by virtue of standing next to the other old timeline movies doesn't mean it's Badddddd. Not everyone can be X2: X-Men United. It's still better than fucking, dark phoenix
