Idk if anyone else will find this funny but I really like thinking about how Stan using Ford's name must look to the people who used to know Ford.

Like, given that Ford had a nationally-ranked essay, there had to be at least a few scholars who wanted to see what he did next. If his alien/conspiracy theory-esque ideas ever got around (whether in the form of research proposals, comments made at a conference, whatever) it must've raised a few dubious eyebrows...

Then he disappears, supposedly doing "independent research" but he never sends anything in for publishing. Then The Mystery Shack shows up. Imagine some scholar going, "What ever happened to that Stanford Pines kid? Oh, he's running a store...? ...in the middle of nowhere...? Called....the Mystery Shack?"

like. shshgkjdh it's so FUNNY to me. These academics going "ah, conspiracy theories ruining such bright minds, what a tragedy" meanwhile Ford is actually in space. Like he was RIGHT he managed to make ground-breaking discoveries, but to all the world it looks like up-and-coming scholar Stanford Pines had a wild downward spiral and now sells fake taxidermy as "evidence" of the supernatural.

LIKE. Ford, I understand why you're mad, but like you gotta admit it's KINDA funny dude
