Dick Dorson

A man with evil power can make you impotent (Folklore and Fakelore, 1950: 341)

@brettlemke Thanks. Unfortunately, it turns out I'm still too liberal for @FoxNews.

[Dick Dorson @DICKDorson]

@brettlemke This is fake news about fakelore. It's all untrue. Except for the donuts. #wsfs2017

[Dick Dorson @DICKDorson]

@foxyfolklorist Nope. Diversity, forgetting the old people who founded the discipline, and making the world realize what is and isn't folklore #wsfs2017

@kerrabecca @StithInTheMud I think I've seen this motif somewhere before... pic unrelated #afsam16

@HenryClassie @StithInTheMud Stop trying to make fetching happen. It's not going to happen. #afsam16

@AVulgarArt @ISCLR I'm basically the father of this whole discipline #yourewelcome

[Dick Dorson @DICKDorson]

@AVulgarArt @ISCLR Still. Not. Folklore. #afsam16 #FakeloreOnTheInternet

@kerrabecca You show me yours and I'll show you mine. I think Alan Dundes might have something to say about this Dorson interest of yours

[Dick Dorson @DICKDorson]

@kerrabecca @kim_stryker Keep up the good work. Also, is there any other kind of Dorson?

[Dick Dorson @DICKDorson]

@foxyfolklorist That'll work about as well as my "drink whenever Benjamin Botkin tries to popularize our serious academic discipline" game

[Dick Dorson @DICKDorson]

@StithInTheMud @HenryClassie I expect he'll encounter D167.9.2 "Sun turns academic into lobster" #afsam16

Get in the car, loser. We're talking about ethnology. #afsam16

Diane Goldstein first became interested in HIV when she shrank to the size of T-cells to collect their narratives. #FolkloreFacts #afsam15

If you are considering using the word "ostension" in your work, be mindful that it's not ostentation you're after. #afsam15 #theorytrends
