Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. I'm bailiff Jesse Thorne. This week,

Dragonian Law. Aaron brings the case against her husband, Bill. Aaron and Bill threw a dragon-themed

birthday party for their one-year-old. On the day of the event, Aaron was horrified to see the menu

Bill had put together.

Bill named the food and drink after various things dragons shed, excrete, and throw up.

Bill says it was fun, but Aaron doesn't want to see another picture of Dragon P ever.

Who's right, who's wrong, only one can decide.

Please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom and presents an obscure cultural reference.

A sage tells of encountering Bahamut in the guise of an old hermit with seven canaries singing sweetly as they

flitted nearby. The sage relates that he would never have known that he was anything other than

what he appeared to be, except that a group of ogres and trolls happened by much to their sorrow.

Bail of Jesse Thorne, please swear the litigant sin. Aaron and Bill please rise and raise your right hands. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? It'll help you, God or whatever. I do. I do. Do you swear to abide by Judge John Hodgman's ruling, despite the fact that dragons love tacos.

I don't know. I don't know what is the premise of that joke anymore.

We've discussed that before. Do you swear that?

Sure. Yes. Judge Hodgman, you may proceed.

First of all, I will rule that dragons do love tacos and tacos are not sandwiches.

Second, Aaron and Bill, you may be seated for an immediate summary judgment in one of

your favors.

Can either of you name the piece of culture that I referenced as I entered this courtroom?

Let's see, who's going first here?

Why don't we say Bill?

Okay.
