Encyclopedia Brunch

Hey! We're changing our name. Don't worry though - nothing else about the show will be changing, except for some website and social media stuff.

Here are some new links for you:

Cool.

Why haven't we been posting?  We thought summer break applied to podcasts too.  Turns out it doesn't!  We managed to step off the beach for a few minutes to record this short on princesses!  Princesscore!  Coming to a trend piece near you.

So we tried to talk about Yoga...

• The Trotsky.
• The Quest.

SHONDOOOO!

This week a Doomed to Fail Classic!  Classical Music that is.

• Happy Birthday to You copyright is attributed The Summy Company
• The first time I heard Mozart's composition that eventually became Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I was like WOAH.

This week, we're talking about meditation. 

• TV Tropes is a handy website categorizing and organizing literature clichés.
• Groove is in the Heart y'all

One night in Bangkok.

• The En Passant is super confusing.  If we did a bad job, this is a video.  This is another video.
• For those who aren't hip to the games these kids are playing and their fancy lingo:
  • OP means "over powered" or that an element, mechanic, character, whatever is so strong that its usage is ruining the game.
  • Nerf is when the developers of a game make something much less powerful. (As in replacing a hard leather football with a nerf football)
• I dunno, Magnus Carlsen: Hot Or Not?

You know when you go to the grocery store and you run into that video rack, and you wonder to yourself "Why do they sell videos in a grocery store?"  We don't have any answers, but we're here to wonder with you.

• Interior Design
• Twitch is a place you go to watch other people play video games. I'm just as perplexed as you!
• Tim and Kathryn agree.  Diddy Kong Racing is pretty much as great as it gets.
• Speed Racer was an anime about an entire family that helped their son be a race car driver.  Their last name is Racer, and his name is Speed.  So I guess destiny?  The movie was a super colorful joyride.
• En Passants be crazy

This week, we're talking about dandelions! Don't blow us off.  BAD PUN.

• Red Wall was CRAZY LONG guys.
• Kathryn has read exactly 2 books in the past year.  They were both great!
  • Among Others by Jo Walton  (Mentioned here for positive portrayals of Welsh culture.  Looking at you Red Wall...)
  • Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
• Go back in time!  Enjoy the hedgehog show and learn all about why they're maybe not a great pet.  There's also a graph!
• Spark Notes confirms that if you rub a dandelion under your chin and the yellow pigment does not rub onto you, as did Montag in Fahrenheit 451, it will tell you that you are not in love.
• Here's how you make one of those paper fortune tellers!

We once again prove that this podcast is not set in the town from Footloose as we brazenly talk about dancing and, more specifically, the "Dancer" emoji, available on many fine mobile phones. Both an elegant lady and a street-smart hustler, The Dancer is pretty much a self-contained crime team.

• See here for examples of the many disparate ways this emoji is rendered.
