Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
First a new Fringe Average, not this? It’s been a good day for podcasts.
Speaking of Fringe Average, I think Jason Parks would be an excellent guest for FG audio.
There are definitely times in this podcast where Carson seems genuinely pissed off at Dayn.
Was gonna wait til later to listen until I read this comment.
Was gonna say the same thing, Sean.
That bit abt the SexoDrome and Buster Olney was pretty funny
I keep reading the title of this edition as “Dayn Perrys Executive Branch” which I can only assume would be about his Van Johnson.
CamelCase
During the section about Chaucer, Carson was wondering if there was name for describing words or word combinations with mixed case. I’ve heard the general term CamelCase. Wikipedia shows many other variations for specific casing scenarios.

MORE DAYN PERRY
The best thing I learned today: intestines = ass ropes.
Though it looks like it was John Wycliffe’s translation of the Old Testament(!) to Middle English that originated the term “arse-ropes” instead of Chaucer: http://books.google.com/books?id=1rHevWO2Y-wC&pg=PA86&lpg=PA86&dq=arse-ropes&source=bl&ots=EJQSZVTXzQ&sig=mS2p6afQFuEyAfJ89X1r_juOGuw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PhkhU-C9A9LrkQesmIGADg&ved=0CDkQ6AEwBzgK
However, most likely due to a “we-don’t-want-the-Bible-to-ever-be-funny Conspiracy, I am unable to locate the passage in which the term was used. Bummer.
