michaelascotto @AnshaKotyk This is why transcripts exist! :)
#mglitchat -8:59 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @michaelascotto Yes. I'll be sure to put one
together promptly just for you! #mglitchat -8:59 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk Parody and Satire tonight. Anyone bring snacks?
#mglitchat -9:01 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk Has everyone picked out their #blizzardbooks
#mglitchat -9:01 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk *Unloads the van* Okay, who ordered
the Hawaiian pizza with mozzarella sticks, french fries, and onion rings?
#mglitchat -9:02 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters Oh, that would most definitely be
me. YUM #mglitchat -9:02 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters all of it. #mglitchat -9:02 PM Feb
7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk Oh lord. Let me get the paddles in
back, 'cause you're DEFINITELY gonna have a heart attack. #mglitchat -9:03 PM
Feb 7th, 2013
kurtisscaletta Hi folks. #mglitchat -9:03 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk *shakes head* I lose all my best
customers to cardiac arrest.#mglitchat -9:03 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters oh, yeah. throw in some garlic and
greens #mglitchat -9:03 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @kurtisscaletta *waves* Oh hai! And hostess, I
have blizzard movies instead. Does that make me a bad reader? #mglitchat -9:03
PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @kurtisscaletta Welcome! Tonight we're hoping to
discuss Parody and Satire. #mglitchat -9:03 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk *mutters* Ain't gonna save you now,
chile. #mglitchat -9:04 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters nope just someone who knows they'll
have power during a blizzard. ;) #mglitchat -9:04 PM Feb 7th, 2013
kurtisscaletta For starters, what is satire vs. what is
plain old humor? #mglitchat -9:05 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters We lose power waaay too easily up
here during a storm... and it's COLD. #mglitchat -9:05 PM Feb 7th, 2013
LaurelSnyder hey, all. i know little about parody, but am
eager to listen... #mglitchat -9:05 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @LaurelSnyder Oh, please share. I have a clue but
that's about it. #mglitchat -9:05 PM Feb 7th, 2013
kurtisscaletta And what are some bona fide MG satire reads?
I can't think of many outside of Pinkwater. #mglitchat -9:05 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @LaurelSnyder I know Parody is where you can copy
a work and make fun of it? #mglitchat -9:06 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk Ooohhh....we have same problem. No
worries--I have three emergency Eva Ibbotson's. Pretty good satire there 2.
#mglitchat -9:06 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @kurtisscaletta Satire is the darker brother of
Parody? #mglitchat -9:06 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters oh share. I think I might like
satire. #mglitchat -9:06 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk @kurtisscaletta I'm too lazy to
google, but think satire is making fun of something...often an aspect of
society. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk parody is just a mimicry of an
established concept, idea, or a person #mglitchat -9:07 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk satire is something spoken in
humour without reproducing the subject directly. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Feb 7th,
2013
kurtisscaletta And BTW the lesser known "pastiche"
is a humorous treatment of a well-known work or form that isn't mocking it.
#mglitchat -9:07 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel Thank you. You always pull me out
of a crunch. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk Well, right now on my nightstand
*squints* is Islands of the Aunts, The Ogre of Oglefort, and The Great Ghost
Rescue.#mglitchat -9:08 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk LOL! I'm useful that way. ;-)
#mglitchat -9:08 PM Feb 7th, 2013
kurtisscaletta A lot of MG humor probably falls under
"pastiche" because it is good hearted. #mglitchat -9:08 PM Feb 7th,
2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk Her books aren't usually wholesale
satire. More like little jabs here and again. But funny! #mglitchat -9:08 PM
Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS Hi all- not sure how much I have to add tonight. I
only *think* I'm funny. #MGLitChat -9:08 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat I always debate at what age kids
start to grasp the concept of satire & parody. I used 2 read MAD Magazine
at a young age. -9:08 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @kurtisscaletta okay, this makes sense. esp the
good hearted part. #mglitchat -9:08 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @Bec_AS We think you're funny too! :-D
#mglitchat -9:09 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters These do sound like stories I'd
enjoy... Must get you up here for a book swap. :) #mglitchat -9:09 PM Feb 7th,
2013
kurtisscaletta Satire is inclined to be harsh, putting it in
natural tension with middle grade. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Feb 7th, 2013
coachhays64 @kurtisscaletta I am racking my brain with the
same question and all the answers are Pinkwater. Pratchett too old for MG?
#mglitchat -9:09 PM Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS I'll stop you there... MT @ilanawaters: Im too lazy
to google, but... #MGLitChat -9:09 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @coachhays64 He did some Jr. Discworld novels,
but I think they're still more YA. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk Awww...thanks. But I cheated and got
them from the library. I love ALL her work! #mglitchat -9:10 PM Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS @ilanawaters Thanks- I'd be happy with satirical,
too. #MGLitChat -9:10 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @kurtisscaletta Many books we think of as
children's were actually political satire. Gulliver's Travels, Pinocchio, etc.
#mglitchat -9:11 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat did anyone ever read Jules
Fieffer's "Barrel of Laughs Veil of Tears"? It's a brilliant Medieval
parody. -9:11 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters And (shameless self-plug) my "Adventures of
Stanley Delacourt" has satirical aspects re: modern-day life (end plug).
#mglitchat -9:12 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel Now, see I'm learning a whole new
sub-genre that I would probably enjoy... fun #Mglitchat -9:12 PM Feb 7th, 2013
coachhays64 @rachelnseigel MAD magazine! But even some of
that probably rode over the head of MG, don't you think? #mglitchat -9:12 PM
Feb 7th, 2013
kurtisscaletta I think the realization tonight is there's
this huge void... why am I not writing satire? #mglitchat -9:12 PM Feb 7th,
2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters So you're a true fan, reader and
writer of satire. It's the humor, right? #mglitchat -9:12 PM Feb 7th, 2013
kurtisscaletta Oh, Roald Dahl! #mglitchat -9:12 PM Feb 7th,
2013
rachelnseigel @coachhays64 I think that MAD is the same as
Family Guy and Simpsons that way. Age doesn't matter as much as get what they r
#mglitchat -9:13 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @coachhays64 parodying. There r always some
jokes MG kids won't get. Some jokes they do and I don't get! It's about
#mglitchat -9:13 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk Exactly! Plus, think kids are in a
unique position 2 see the silly ways adults sometimes behave, and call them on
it. #mglitchat -9:13 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @coachhays64 cultural references and what
you're exposed 2. #mglitchat -9:14 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters Score! Definitely. RT @kurtisscaletta: Oh, Roald
Dahl! #mglitchat -9:14 PM Feb 7th, 2013
dianezahler @kurtisscaletta Yes! Charlie & the Chocolate
Factory would qualify as both parody & satire, wouldn't it? #mglitchat
-9:14 PM Feb 7th, 2013
coachhays64 @kurtisscaletta I just hit my forehead. Roald
Dahl's adult characters! #mglitchat -9:15 PM Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS Are you saying those were directed at adults?
@ilanawaters: Many books we think of as childrens were actually political
satire. #MGLitChat -9:15 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @kurtisscaletta I loved Roald Dahl. He is kind
of the king of funny. #mglitchat -9:15 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @Bec_AS I'm pretty sure Gulliver was, at least.
#mglitchat -9:16 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @Bec_AS They absolutely were! @ilanawaters
#MGLitChat -9:16 PM Feb 7th, 2013
elliefalcone I'm half here. What's up? #mglitchat -9:16 PM
Feb 7th, 2013
coachhays64 @rachelnseigel You're right. I remember not
having a clue on some of the parodies (especially the movie ones) but still
laughing. #mglitchat -9:16 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @coachhays64 When I'd seen the movie they were
parodying, I especially thought it was funny. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @coachhays64 Yes, I was going to say, I haven't
always "gotten" Roald Dahl's humor. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @coachhays64 If I hadn't, they were silly and
I laughed anyway- even if I didn't totally get it. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Feb 7th,
2013
Bec_AS So, these parodies are to deliver a message to adults
by way of entertaining kids- is that w/all? #MGLitChat -9:18 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @Bec_AS They were kind of a safe forum for
expressing dangerous opinions. #MGLitChat -9:18 PM Feb 7th, 2013
kurtisscaletta Ugh, I was enjoying #mglitchat but the kid is
keeping me from it. -9:18 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @kurtisscaletta My kids are currently being read
to... jealous, I want someone to read to me! :) #mglitchat -9:19 PM Feb 7th,
2013
ilanawaters Ironic, definish of. :-( RT @kurtisscaletta:

rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk @kurtisscaletta It's
not the same thing! ;-) #mglitchat -9:20 PM Feb 7th, 2013
KristineAsselin I'm late...but I'm here. How're all you
MG'ers? #mglitchat -9:20 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters yeah. not the same. :) #mglitchat
-9:20 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @KristineAsselin We're good! Discussing Parody
and Satire. #mglitchat -9:20 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk Huh? This is LITERALLY people
reading to you! #mglitchat -9:21 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk But there's nothing
personal about it! They r reading something aloud- not reading to you.
#mglitchat -9:21 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters no no, I mean rocking chair, mom's
lap... much cozier. #mglitchat -9:21 PM Feb 7th, 2013
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk Rats. I was
pretending it was a private performance. *grumbles* #mglitchat -9:21 PM Feb
7th, 2013
Bec_AS @rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk
@kurtisscaletta Not a good of a selection as reg books, & sometimes, bad
voices... #MGLitChat -9:22 PM Feb 7th, 2013
LaurelSnyder @rachelnseigel But what if it's someone you
know? Does that make it feel more personal? #mglitchat -9:22 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk I guess I shouldn't
tell u about the tooth fairy and Santa Claus then... #mglitchat -9:22 PM Feb
7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel *giggle* I love #mglitchat -9:22

ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk *sticks fingers in
ears* La la la...I can't hear you! #mglitchat -9:22 PM Feb 7th, 2013
KristineAsselin Hmm...parody and satire. Like Saturday Night
Live? But for middle grade... :) #mglitchat -9:22 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @LaurelSnyder Someone u know doing the audio?
They have to b a pretty good reader for that! Otherwise still not personal.
#mglitchat -9:22 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @LaurelSnyder Unless they r reading to u when
they record the audio. ;-) #mglitchat -9:23 PM Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS @LaurelSnyder 's reading to everyone!!! Did you see
her offer??? #MGLitChat -9:23 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @KristineAsselin Like Roald Dahl... #mglitchat
-9:23 PM Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS @rachelnseigel Or maybe thinking of you...?
#MGLitChat -9:24 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @Bec_AS #MGLitChat Maybe if they told u that.
I think if the audio is of a family member reading, it might b different. -9:24
PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @Bec_AS There are a couple of companies that
do that- big with military families. #MGLitChat -9:25 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk Okay so some good satirical authors? #mglitchat.
-9:25 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk Jules Fieffer, Gerald Morris.
#mglitchat -9:25 PM Feb 7th, 2013
LaurelSnyder @rachelnseigel Ha. I'd have to charge more for
that. But I'd do it for the right price. Storybook hotline is the NEXT BIG
THING! #mglitchat -9:25 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel *writing* Next library trip, post
BLIZZARD #MGLitChat -9:26 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @LaurelSnyder ooh, storybook hotline! I like it!
#mglitchat -9:26 PM Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS @AnshaKotyk Way to keep us on topic! Let's list
titles, too, if you have suggestions. #MGLitChat -9:26 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk We're expecting one here too!
#MGLitChat -9:26 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk Seriously go get Barrel of Laughs,
Veil of Tears. (Feiffer) Brilliant medieval parody!!!! #MGLitChat -9:26 PM Feb
7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel Will I enjoy it if I'm not versed
in all things midieval? #MGLitChat -9:27 PM Feb 7th, 2013
dianezahler The trouble with satire/parody for MG is the
reader has to understand what is being satirized for it really to work.
#mglitchat -9:27 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @AnshaKotyk nice I can't spell. #MGLitChat -9:27
PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk And Gerald Morris' Knight's Tales
r hilarious 2. Also parodies of Arthurian stories. #MGLitChat -9:27 PM Feb 7th,
2013
KristineAsselin What about the How to Train your Dragon
books? Parody? #mglitchat -9:28 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk No Medieval background required.
He parodies a lot of literary devices. #MGLitChat -9:28 PM Feb 7th, 2013
KristineAsselin I admit I'm a little over my head on this
topic.. #mglitchat -9:28 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk There is a character who "is
only in the book as an example and will leave forever in a few pages"
except he doesn't #MGLitChat -9:28 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk he refuses to leave the book. Then
the author rants for a chapter about how he hates losing control of his book.
#MGLitChat -9:29 PM Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS @dianezahler Agreed. And there are still a lot of
"black & white" readers: "If it says this, it means
this" #MGLitChat -9:29 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel okay, I would love that, and laugh
my head off. :) #MGLitChat -9:29 PM Feb 7th, 2013

see parody of MSNBC'S "Up" on SNL but don't think many people would
get it. <g> #MGLITCHAT -9:30 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk re-read it. I keep hoping the
publisher will re-issue. #MGLitChat -9:30 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel hee hee. Now I want to read it.
#MGLitChat -9:30 PM Feb 7th, 2013

sophistication. Don't know if it's learned or just comes with age. #mglitchat

agree. #MGLitChat -9:33 PM Feb 7th, 2013
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat if u think about it, fractured
fairy tales are all examples of satire/parody. -9:33 PM Feb 7th, 2013

He and Mac Barnett are huge talents! Really funny! #MGLitChat -9:34 PM Feb 7th,

haven't read it YET, but how about The Fourth Stall by Chris Rylander?
#mglitchat -9:34 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel I like a story told with wit.

Yes! The trilogy is a Middle Grade send-up of the Godfather! Really funny!

half wit, either. #MGLitChat -9:35 PM Feb 7th, 2013

merriehaskell @WriterRoss @Bec_AS Yes, definitely MG.
#mglitchat -9:36 PM Feb 7th, 2013
Bec_AS @WriterRoss I think so- it was in the children's
section at our library. Did you think it was YA? #MGLitChat -9:36 PM Feb 7th,
2013
WriterRoss @merriehaskell I had to look it up because-- I
apologize-- I had never heard of it. #MGLITCHAT -9:37 PM Feb 7th, 2013

can have heard of everything. "We can't all..." Haha, I haven't.

bedside/underbed stacks -9:50 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk I get the "but you aren't even reading
them!" and I say "YET!" as I brush off the thing layer of dust.
#mglitchat -9:51 PM Feb 7th, 2013

remind everyone else that we are FUNNY! #MGLitChat -9:53 PM Feb 7th, 2013
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters @WriterRoss I need a cleaning
lady/guy, because I'm too busy reading and writing to care about dust. ;)
#MGLITCHAT -9:53 PM Feb 7th, 2013

think that's possible- I no sooner clear away a stack then another takes it's
place. #MGLitChat -9:57 PM Feb 7th, 2013
WriterRoss @AnshaKotyk ... because cleaning the house is the
greatest joke of all in this family? ;) #MGLITCHAT -9:57 PM Feb 7th, 2013

feels..broader. #MGLITCHAT -10:00 PM Feb 7th, 2013
