OK, missed a week because of Labor Day, but we're back with Top Ten Tuesday!
#5: Disco Do-Over
I'm so glad they finally figured out a perfect way to utilize Doof!
This was a fun episode all around. From the Murphy Dream Board, to the training montage, to the actual competition, it felt like the universe was FINALLY trying to throw the Murphys a bone by enhancing their routine in order to gift them a win. The signs were clear throughout the episode:
With the Dream Board: they were left with one final opportunity to win it all before the skate park itself closed, so it almost didn't matter how much damage they caused to the place.
With the training montage: they were gifted a son who had learned more about how to evade Murphy's Law in 13 years than Martin had in roughly 3 times that long.
And with the competition itself: Doof was a judge. That's it. That's the sign.
And I'll just end with a couple pictures of the Dream Board because this is pretty funny:

Top Ten(ish) Tuesday: TMC Easy #2
The #2 most checked out picture book from TMC Easy last year was... We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom! This book has come up on both the lists (for the TMC in general AND TMC Easy), and it's been popular since it arrived... and with good reason! It's definitely worth sharing in the classroom, for its themes, as well as its award-winning illustrations. There are a lot of great ideas out there for lessons you can teach from it.

Top Ten Tuesday - Reasons Why I’m Thankful for Books
Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.
This week’s theme is Reasons Why I’m Thankful for…

#8: Truck Stop Polly
One of the less creative episode names, but seems like they poured most of that creativity into the episode itself.
This one started the whole "Polly being homesick" arc that later came up on the return trip in Night Drivers.
This episode is a lesson in "Be careful what you wish for, because it just might come true," aka Malicious Compliance from the universe. That moment when Polly realizes that the family left without her, and just immediately went "Well, I guess I live here now. Startin' over from scratch. I don't know no one, and no one knows me." That moment made the episode -- figuratively (it was the best moment in the episode) and literally (the entire episode was centered around that one point). Plus, it's a good depiction of how to not panic if you do get lost. (Although come to think of it, it was actually mostly Hop Pop's fault for not doing a head count to make sure everybody was in the f'wagon before he took off, especially since he left so quickly after they were done in the bathroom.)
I was really impressed by the depiction of the truckers. Not sure how much they could realistically be carrying or how fast they could realistically go, with the vehicles being what they are. But the way they showed the truckers themselves, from what I can tell, was very realistic. It would have been easy to just play them off as the "dumb jock" stereotype. They probably asked real life truckers to describe their job for this episode. I have mad respect for that.
And then there was the star of this episode in Soggy Speedy Joe! Although he was often used as a plot device, this guy is one of my favorite side characters (not at all because I share a name with him). Everything he does is comedy gold. I have to wonder though, how did he get the bee wool for his truck? Because I don't know if you've noticed, but bees in Amphibia are enormous and aggressive, just like the rest of the insects.
A very creative episode that just screams "Road Trip", this one has to be included in your rewatch even though it is... to put it lightly, not very plot heavy.

Top Ten Tuesday - Childhood Favourites (Freebie)
Top Ten Tuesday – Childhood Favourites (Freebie)
Hi friends, I’ve decided to start up with Top Ten Tuesday, I used to do this every week on my old blog and I thought it would be nice to get back into it. This week’s topic is a freebie and I couldn’t think of my own topic, so I looked back at the list of past topics and decided to do Childhood Favourites.
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl

#6: Chain Reaction: Cast Party Edition
This is one of those ideas that's so ridiculous, it just... works in the Dwampyverse.
Several of them, actually.
Let's go through them:
Zack trying interpretive dance. It makes sense for his character once you know him, but it's not exactly something you'd think of for a male character. And it carries on the "trying unusual activities" motif of season 2.
Zack thinking everybody got sympathy casts for him, only to find out that they're all real casts. How they all managed to get to the hospital that day is beyond me, especially considering Zack's mom is a doctor and would have probably noticed the huge influx of patients that strangely didn't include her son. And, it's just a really fitting plot twist for this universe and this episode.
All the wounds came from one single convoluted chain reaction. Dan and Swampy would make the best Rube Goldberg devices, between this and the way Doof is always messing up Phineas and Ferb's inventions.
All the wounds came from one incident that started with Milo. It's like of course. Of course it started with him. That's Milo Murphy's Law: all the chaos begins (and ends!) with the Murphy Men. (Yes, Diogee counts, since he is technically a Murphy Man and also he was the last one hit by the tile.)
All the wounds came while everyone was doing something they love, something that you'd never think of them doing. Which again... of course. It's the law. Everything happens for a reason. Everything follows the theme of the episode. Everything has oddly specific similarities.
And setting it to a song about chain reactions. Beautiful. Absolutely perfect ending to the episode. And all too fitting for the universe.
Overall, an amazing episode and a perfect, chef's kiss, 10/10 song to go with it.
EDIT: OK, I posted this a little early by accident. But I'm not going back and redoing it so you get it a little early.

Top Ten(ish) Tuesday: TMC Easy #10
We're getting back in the swing of top ten(...ish) countdowns with a countdown of the most checked out books from the TMC Easy section! TMC Easy is by far the most popular area of the TMC... so why not take a closer look at what circulated the most last year?
At #10 is a multi-ways tie!!! It's such a massive tie that we'll be picking books for the #10, 9, and 8 posts from this tie. (There's a reason it's a top ten... ish... this year!)
Without further ado, at #10 is We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan Higgins. This comedic book is a hilarious twist on the first day of school, as the main character is a T. Rex who needs to learn a very important lesson about how to treat her classmates!
A few other books from the #10 list include:
We're All Wonders by Palacio
What is Given from the Heart by McKissack,
What to do with a Box by Yolen
What's the Difference? by Richards
When Dinosaurs Came with Everything by Broach
Where the Wild Things Are by Sendak
Why am I Me? by Britt
Winter Sleep by Taylor
Zonia's Rain Forest by Martinez-Neal

OK, missed a week in there because of Labor Day, but we're back with Top Ten Tuesday!
#5: The Ballad of Hopediah Plantar
The first real one-off adventure of season 2 that surprisingly didn't come up again, this episode ended up being one of my favorites.
I guess the reason I liked it so much came down to two things: the conflict, and the songs.
The conflict between the Bitties and the Hasselbacks: I can totally see this happening in a world where creatures are vastly different sizes, especially since it seems to have a caste system of government -- that is, every group has a tier (or "caste") within society, and there is little to no chance of ever switching between castes. (Also, the wiki says that Judro was "their size" (referring to the Plantars) when he actually seemed to be a bit bigger than them.) And I am a fan of the clan sharing a name with an NFL quarterback (He of "We want the ball and we're gonna score" fame) -- I don't know why, but that was pretty funny to me.
And the songs. I totally agree with Hop Pop that the first song wasn't great because it was missing all the context, but the second one was better imo despite the MUCH shorter time in which Sprig had to write it. That one felt like it was written off the cuff and completely accurate to the battle (because it was), while the other one felt like it was written long afterwards by someone who conveniently forgot several key parts (including the fact that it was Wally who blew up the tower).
So I guess this was a shorter post than usual. But my mind isn't remembering all the things I actually want to say about how great this episode was.
See you next time for #4!
