    -- What sort of book titles do you think could be found on the Voodoo Lady's bookshelf? Y'know, things like "The Joy of Hex," or "Screams of My Father."

    "How to Cook Pirates" is the best I could come up with. A little reference to The Simpsons there. Also, cannibalistic tribes (this being one of the Voodoo Lady's books and all). :D
    -- For reasons that defy explanation, we're trying to enumerate dozens of unique kinds of winds, things like "The Wind the Blows Off Your Hat," or "The Wind that Sounds Remarkably Like an Unhappy Echidna." Can you think of any others?

    "The Wind That Blows"? I know it's lame, but, still... If you're a pirate, you probably wear a hat, and any kind of wind would blow. Literally and metaphorically.
    -- Lastly, what's your pirate name?

    I'd say Fancy Pants, but I guess that one's taken. So I'll go with Chiselad Emsworth (a really bad pun at the origins of Guybrush's name). Or should I say CAPTAIN Chiselad Emsworth? :p

    Just to spread knowledge. The Simpsons was referencing a Twilight Zone episode.The plot was that aliens had come to help us all out but one guy didn't trust them.The aliens all carried about called "To Serve Man". You can guess where it goes from there. This would make your suggestion an amusing tertiary reference.

    With comment: "Hey! No one told me how stubborn he could be back then!" or "Um...yeah." or other variations. I would find it amusing that his voodoo lady helper would keep a book that Guybrush would definitely write just to make him look like a fool--which she seems to do very often.

    Hey guys 'n' gals,

    In the spirit of "tapping the hive mind," I've got a few enigmatic questions for y'all:

    -- What sort of book titles do you think could be found on the Voodoo Lady's bookshelf? Y'know, things like "The Joy of Hex," or "Screams of My Father."

    -- For reasons that defy explanation, we're trying to enumerate dozens of unique kinds of winds, things like "The Wind the Blows Off Your Hat," or "The Wind that Sounds Remarkably Like an Unhappy Echidna." Can you think of any others?

    -- Lastly, what's your pirate name?

    Wind:

    " The Wind that is not quite breaking"

    I think the Voodoo Lady would definitely have "Voodoo Dolls for Dummies" as mentioned earlier - everyone's gotta start somewhere, right?

    For new ones (or ones that I hope are new) how about "Pirate or Flooring Inspector - Which Is The Job For You?" And maybe out of personal interest she'd have copies of "Phatt Island Library Fines Volume 1 - A to S" "Phatt Island Library Fines Volume 3 - U to Z" and "Phatt Island Library Fines Volume 2 - Threepwood, Guybrush" - he never did go back and return that book, or did he?

    Different types of wind: The Wind That Sets Smoke Detectors Off, The Wind Of Change, The Wind Of Staying The Same, The Slight Breeze Of Perplexing Intensity, The Wind That Isn't Really A Wind Because The Air Is Calm... some of those might be good, they're off the top of my head.

    As for pirate name, I came up with Cap'n Tigz Mordan. Before you ask, the last name's an anagram of "random", which sounds perfect for a random encounter should such things happen ;)

    Can't seem to edit my last post, so I'll put it here... another book the Voodoo Lady might have: "Tales of Monkey Island Walkthrough". Just to taunt us players. :P

    Or, to pay homage to a great inside joke from sam and max, in the last episode have all the books be quick fixes for the previous episodes. Like:

    Surviving a Siege, with Style! (Ep 2)
    5 foolproof defenses for a pirate on death row (Ep4)

    Of course, since I have no idea what most of the eps are really about these are just guesses but it would still be a nice throw back.
