Episode 9--Stunting Nature

Sun, 20 May 2007 22:44:18 GMT

Computer problems have slowed but not stopped the Inkleination Podcast. Nat and Joel attend a bonsai exhibition sponsored by the Bonsai Society of Upstate New York. They interview two experts and scrutinize a semi-cascade plant with shamefully large leaves. Stunting nature as an art medium is discussed, and Joel reveals hints of his darker side. Piano music by the Bicycats, and closing percussion is Zach of the Bicycats playing on Nat's stomach.

Episode 8: Waxing

Sun, 08 Apr 2007 19:17:47 GMT

Katie and Nat wax their legs at home so that the sadistic among you can enjoy their cries of pain. They issue a warning to young girls about shaving, and Nat confesses that she wore headgear in middle school. Ambient noises are not for the faint of heart. Or the feint of heart. Appropriate music by the Bicycats.

Episode 7: You Schmooze You Lose

Wed, 04 Apr 2007 04:05:30 GMT

Nat goes to La Jolla for a psycholinguistics conference and meets a pimping taxi driver who speaks more languages than most of the language researchers present. Katie gets a thrilling conference nemesis and goes to investigate his poster. Harbor seals near the conference location have the nerve to engage in pupping on the beach. Get a small incoherent taste of what it's like to attend a conference on sentence processing, but we can't promise you'll like it!

Episode 6: How to Toilet-Train a Cat

Wed, 14 Mar 2007 20:16:20 GMT

Katie and Nat interview Krista about her efforts to potty train her cat, Penguin. The ethics of late-term feline abortion get discussed. Krista's cat's BMs are exploited on youtube at the following link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWykh-8_Ql8
We also briefly flirt with the idea of corporate sponsorship

Episode 5: Pottery Barf

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 22:25:02 GMT

Nat and Abigail browse Pottery Barn Kids and discuss their conflicted feelings about a tiny retro pink oven. Then they come up with bogus sociological theories about those feelings and gender stereotyping. But really, Nat was just manipulating Abigail into being on her podcast. Who knew it would take the barftastic Pottery Barn to help her succeed?

Episode 4: Robotic Valentine's

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 19:22:21 GMT

Nat and Chris's inner robot discuss Valentine's Day and Taiwanese sexual repression. Jesse Jackson and Thomas Lynch also lend topical spirit to the conversation. For more info on why you might choose to dislike the Vagina Monologues, read this: archive.salon.com/people/col/pagl/2001/02/28/bush/index.html?pn=3. Thanks to Chris, participating all the way from Taiwan. Music by the Bicycats.

Episode 3: Badger Pokers

Fri, 02 Feb 2007 19:49:44 GMT

Nat and Zach discuss a special breed of individuals known as Badger Pokers. Nat is definitely part badger poker herself. Then we catch a possible badger poker in the field. A brief discussion of what it means to be right-handed ensues. Did you know Voldemort and Darth Vader are both lefties? There are also websites dedicated to describing the discrimination lefties face every day. Me? I'm right.
I have a new theme song by the Bicycats, and the music at the end is also by the Bicycats: "The Way People Think." Catch the Bicycats at www.myspace.com/thebicycats and me at www.myspace.com/inkleination.

This episode is a narrative about how anal sex has bailed out my research. I discuss research about garden path sentences such as "The horse raced past the barn fell," as well as the movie "Last Tango in Paris." Butter is involved.
