This story, "When the Little Blond Shark Went Visiting," runs a lot like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, if Ferris Bueller was a shark and went out to meet a lot of shark kings and came back as royalty. You might be able to pick up some new one-on-one combat moves if you listen closely, in case you and your posse ever need to get into fisticuffs.

An excerpt of unused material taken from episode 33 of "What the Folklore?" in which we read "When The Little Blonde Shark Went Visiting" wherein we list our favorite of Shakespeare's numerous works, finalize where you can and cannot play music, look forward past Virtual Reality to "Reality Games", examine the bonds of camaraderie in the world of Pokemon, and uncover the secret union between trains and tornadoes.

We're looking at the polar opposite of last week's story. While D'Aulnoy likes to make her stories collapse under the weight of the combined plotlines, Hans Christian Andersen takes a more avant-garde approach: the plotless story. Which is basically just a list of crazy things that happened once. This is certainly the case in "the Elfin Mound."

An excerpt of unused material taken from episode 32 of "What the Folklore?" in which we read "The Elfin Mound" wherein we discuss a mortal kombat style game featuring aging rock stars, question the modern relevancy of kiss, and invent a family-feud style show to keep our thumbs on the pulse of America's desires.

We're halfway through "The Yellow Dwarf," everyone. Keep your head tucked firmly between your knees if it helps you keep your bearings. We're going to go on some pretty crazy tangents. Really, it's all a tangent. There is no story anymore. Everything feels grey and unreal and the world is shrinking in around us. Send help.

We're not any more comfortable with the title than you are, believe us. This is a two-parter everyone: Madame d'Aulnoy strikes again with her... opus might not be the right word. We settled on her Finnigan's Wake. It's long, confusing, and borrows bits from lots of other stories, and it's called "The Yellow Dwarf." Just strap in for this one, and hold onto something.
