Stith In The Mud

I put the T in the ATU tale type classification system.

@GalGramercy Many folk narratives and motifs are catalogued according to gender. Make sure to consult my indices. #wsfs2017

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

Motif J146: educated men as choice company. Many great minds coming together at #wsfs2017 to discuss the future of the field.

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

I anticipate a fine meeting in Minneapolis, though the weather may not be as nice as at #afsam16 (Motif 398: futility of weather prophecies)

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@kerrabecca @DICKDorson Wisdom from a teacher or sage, Motif J152.

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@DICKDorson @kerrabecca Motif H110, Identity test through clothing. Insufficient data.

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

The entire motif category of F (Marvels) could well describe the #afsam16 meeting (especially F700 Marvelous places). Well done folklorists!

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@abbuccitelli Big data? 15 million index cards? Ha! How do you think I got the Motif Index done before computers? #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@kim_stryker I would like to point out that there is a reason why Motifs J1730-J1749, absurd ignorance, exist. #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

I cannot predict the future, but Motif M310 (Favorable Prophecy) may have some clues for those unsure of whether to attend tonight's lecture

Er, yes; that would be me! https://t.co/xElMrM0E1v

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@AVulgarArt I assume that a motif in range E300-399 would be suitable as there are many reasons for friendly return from the dead #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

I assume everyone knows about the lecture in my honor tonight at 8pm? See Motif L212.3.1, Honor is more enduring than life. #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@HenryClassie Dr. Glassie, I assume you know that Motif A121 (Stars as deities) is in the Motif-Index for a reason. #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@kerrabecca Sounds typical. See Motif F367, destructive fairy drink (mortal who indulges ends up in unexpected places). #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@havingfung Precedent for strong female characters found in Type 1375*, Unsuccessful search for man who can rule his wife #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@heydomtartaglia See Town Mouse and Country Mouse, ATU type 112. #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

@HenryClassie If you encounter anything exciting I expect to see a report based on Motif N770, Experiences leading to adventures. #afsam16

[Stith In The Mud @StithInTheMud]

In the registration line at #afsam16 people are not sorting according to the alphabet. See motif J1714.3: when with fools, act foolish.
