What The Folklore?

The anniversisode continues! Taking all bets as to what the next events are of our four-part story, "The Green Serpent." If you didn't answer with pagoda surprise, you're dead wrong, you damn casuals. To be fair though, none of us called it either.

Suggested talking points: Endless pagoda times, gothic love, kiss the Hot Topic girl, the Trojan pagoda, appearing invisible, dreaming of Happy Days, what the hell is a pagodina?, out at the Wars, sidelong Livejournal attacks

It's our anniversary! To celebrate one full year of crazy fairy tales, we've unearthed one so vast and hideous that it would drive you mad simply to look upon it, like Cthulhu waking from his slumber. And that's essentially what happened to us: we're reading what may be Madame D'aulnoy's magnum opus: "The Green Serpent." She also penned the story from our first episode, along with "Felicia and the Pot of Pinks" from episode 5, and "The Yellow Dwarf" from episodes 30 and 31. Strap yourselves in, listeners. Hold your loved ones close one last time. Take a deep breath. This is territory where none of us have gone before.

We were pretty sure we had something of a lock on where this one was going, but somehow it got away from us, and turned into a story about self-driving cars and a demon man who usurped a kingdom through sheer laziness. This week on "What the Folklore?" we're reading "The Useless Wagoner."

Suggested talking points: What the fox says, Sir Vincent of Diesel, vampire king, the mad mad bunny king, hare's breast milk, garbage human, wagon tenure, reanimated death bunnies
