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.
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.
oh, its vermicular michaelis. right.
Paisley. I finally can stop calling it “that paramecium design”.
Paisley shirts were all the rage at one time
Why would you want to stop calling it that!?
Excellent question.

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.
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.
Yea a lot of people do.
Hello, I’m Singleton Uematsu, welcome to NPR. Prepare for a major release of applause for the architect behind a truly class-ic framework, a gem of a developer: David ‘The Rails Alchemist’ Heinemeier Hansson!
What do you mean “we were not talking about software programming patterns”?
You made me look it up. Uematsu isn’t dead
Singleton is your favorite pattern? We can’t be friends anymore
That’s fine, they can only have one instance of a friend at a time anyway.
Factory Marx kind of slaps

Edit: Answers: only the second one and the last one are from Star Wars. The rest are NPR
I don’t know about the rest, but Jek Porkins died for the rebellion during the battle of Yavin, everyone who’s seen at least the original film should know this.
Im not a major fan but none of those sound like Star Wars characters to me so imma guess: all NPR?
See, I was guessing all star wars
