(And I want to thank you again for ruining my life, TVTropes!)
Like, I started reading Order of the Stick because it was referenced so often on TVTropes and now I really want to get the prequel books. Or I found the entry on Ear Worms (a calque from German, apparently, and I'm only saying that to prove I know the word calque), which lead me to not only (ultimately) wish I knew French so I could understand this video but also lead me to here and now I'm wondering about Kaamelott, but I draw the line there, so no worries. I simply refuse.
Incidentally, the pattern of name, name, WEIRD NAME has a page under "Odd Name Out", which makes sense.
I've got to stop reading any form of wiki site. That's just it.
