I’m Paisley Seeger, filling in for Steve Innskeep.
My IRL maiden name is a classic NPR name, though. It’s hyphenated, and the first name is uncommon and its ethnicity is not obvious, while the second name is a less common spelling of a more common name, that identifies it as a different ethnicity (think -ski vs -sky in Slavic last names). My sister’s got a funky first name that really sells it. My married name is incredibly normal and it feels a little weird to not have a distinctive name anymore, but I love not needing to spell it for anyone.
Live, from Chicago’s famous Studebaker Theater, I’m Herringbone Winehouse sitting in for Peter Sagal on Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me. Today’s guests have all been rounded up by ICE, so Bill Kurtis and I will exchange obscure yet witty barbs while a sad trumpet plays a downtempo version of the Wait Wait theme in a minor key.
This is Seersucker Van Zandt, and I’m asking you to go the phone…
Do people just know names of patterns and have a favorite?
I’m Camouflage Meatloaf and this is NPR.
Flashback to when you used to be able to make stuff like this your desktop background, just changing the pattern, color, and if it would fill/tile/stretch etc.
Paisley. I finally can stop calling it “that paramecium design”.
Why would you want to stop calling it that!?
Excellent question.
Paisley shirts were all the rage at one time
oh, its vermicular michaelis. right.
Here you go buddy, see if there are any you like

Hm… It says common fabric patterns, so it probably doesn’t have that one 90’s paper cup pattern. I want to know if that one has a name.
Amazing. It has a name that perfectly fits the vibe! :D
I feel like that design was used everywhere back in the '90s not just on disposable cups.
I’m fairly sure it was used at the leisure centre I went to at one point. Probably without permission but I’m not sure if you can really copyright blue squiggle on turquoise squiggle.
I used to know a person named Jazz, so that works
You could go with a fractal. There’s that one that’s made out of Triforces.
Yea a lot of people do.
Next you’re gonna tell me you don’t have a favorite bacteria.
Don’t bacilli, everyone has a favourite bacteria.
Don’t be so cocci! Not everyone likes the same vibrio. I hope that doesn’t sound too savagella.
I’m Calico Morrison, and coming up next on The Delicious Dish, Pete Schweddy returns once again to give us a look at the methods his family has used to raise each pig that goes into a succulent Schweddy Wiener. So stay tuned and open your ears for Schweddy hogs, here on NPR.
First time long time here. Does Pete see the cost of Schweddy Balls going up with current market conditions for North American farmers?
Well I don’t see a lot of happy hogs in our future, caller. My balls have never been in greater danger of being trampled by government officials. Imagine all our hogs are one package, and that package is about to be shoved into a dark, dirty, stinking hole. Unless we firmly grab that package and give it some sort of twist, American farmers are going to find it increasingly difficult to raise their hogs in the coming years.
Paisley Becker?
Yeah, that scans.
Mandala Cornell here, and you’re listening to NPR
This is Ogee Charanjit, and I’m here with Doris Kearns-Goodwin. We are discussing the unprecedented changes in presidential policy in the last 30 years.
All while set to a disco beat.
I’m Camouflage Meatloaf… And… You’re listening to AM radio I think.
I’m Paisley Prine, up next, do podcast belong on the radio? This is NPR.
I’m Tied-dyed Garcia, and this is NPR.
Why do I feel like the music cue after that statement is this.
I’m CADPAT Guthrie and I want to remind you that the second amendment includes liberals
Herringbone Cash, at your service.
