I'm sure I've mentioned this on a previous show, but my favorite holiday by far is Halloween, and now that it's finally October, it seemed like a good time to release this little puzzle I wrote a FULL YEAR ago. It's called “Bootiful.” Every response in this game is a single word that ends with the “boo” sound.

How many Star Wars character names do you know? That's most of the challenge in this one, honestly.

In this game, I'll give you a clue to help you think of a classic Star Wars character name, and I'll give you a hint about what the character's new name might be if one letter is changed. All I want to know is what the character's new name would be once that letter has changed.

You guys? Keep this on the down-low, but I think… I think Bruce Wayne? He might be the guy. Ssh. I know. I KNOW! I mean, he's rich, he's been around the world, his parents were tragically killed all those years ago, so there's motive… I think I might really be onto something here. In fact, I've got Mr. Wayne's bank statements from the last 20 years to prove it. I swear, I'm not crazy!

So in this exposé, I'll name something Bruce has had charged to his bank account over the past few years, but I've been staring at these papers so much over the past six weeks that I might need a little help remembering the exact word for what I'm trying to name. Every correct answer here will be a single word that contains the consecutive letters B-A-T. That's conclusive proof!

Many powerful wizards, like Harry Potter and Voldemort, were well-known for their ability to speak Parseltongue. For natural parseltongues, it's possible to speak it without even realizing. However, since so much of the snake language sounds so similar to an outsider, it can be hard to pick it up if you're not naturally gifted.

But contrary to many other magical educators, I myself believe that even No-Maj folks can learn to talk to snakes if they're willing to put in the work. Sorry, if there are any British wizards and witches in the audience, I meant Muggles. You probably knew that.

Anyway, in this session, we'll be learning the basics of how to speak parseltongue. I'll be asking you some questions, and the correct answer to each question will contain at least one S—and to get into the parseltongue mindset, which is sort of the first step for non-native speakers, I encourage you all to REALLY lean on those Ss.

And here's the thing: I read up on Kwanzaa. I tried to think of a way to incorporate it into a puzzle while still being somewhat respectful, because Kwanzaa is a thing that's actually really  important to most people who celebrate it. But try as I might, I couldn't figure out a way to build a decent Kwanzaa puzzle, and I didn't want to settle for making a half-decent one. So while I'm more than happy to wish anyone who celebrates it a Joyous Kwanzaa… let's take another aside from the holiday season for something a little different.

We're all about shortening words these days, either for the sake of brevity or just so you'll seem cool to your friends. As I record this, there are only 9 days left until Christmas Day, and some people consider it disrespectful when you truncate the word "Christmas" to "Xmas." They say it takes the "Christ" out of "Christmas," and in a literal sense, I guess theyr'e right... but here's the thing. The use of "Xmas" dates back to the 16th century, back when, I think it's safe to say, Christianity was a pretty massive force in the world. You have to imagine that if saying "Xmas" were really such a problem, it would've been stamped out before the 17th century rolled around.

Anyway, our puzzle today revolves around that much-maligned letter, perhaps the trickiest of all English letters. It's time to celebrate our friend the X with a round of "First Things First."

That means I don't really have a holiday to base a puzzle around today, so instead, I've turned to my own hobbies for inspiration. I've always been a fan of video games, and one of my favorite game series is called Mega Man.

The original game is about a robot boy named Mega Man who fights against his robot brothers, who've been re-programmed to be evil by the fiendish Dr. Wily. The original Mega Man series has 11 entries to date, and each of those games features brand new baddies for Mega Man to fight, from Cut Man (a lumberjack robot with scissors on his head) to Pump Man (a sewer-dwelling robot who works like an old-timey water pump). You may notice that the name of our hero, Mega Man, as well as that of all of his enemies, end with the word “man.” That's all I need to put together a quick puzzle.

Different people celebrate different holidays based on their own personal belief, background, and upbringing, but generally, folks understand that the holiday season is a time to be a little more compassionate, to feel a bit closer to your fellow man.

I say all that to say this: Hanukkah begins this coming Sunday, so I thought I should make a puzzle that related to the holiday in some way. I did encounter one small problem while I was putting the episode together, and basically, it's that… I don't really know anything about Hanukkah.

Let's us instead celebrate one of the finest actors to ever grace the silver screen, Mr. Tom Hanks. We're giving thanks for T. Hanks. Yes, I may have, in fact, written all that fluffy, warm patter just so I could make a stupid pun. It's what I do.
