But do you recall the reference? (even people who have read the series tend to not remember this one, for some reason) Spoilers:

I love the scene because it encapsulates the Tavi/Max friendship perfectly, in one quick scene. Academ's Fury Ch 18:

Tavi rose at once. "What are we doing?"

"I'm continuing my brilliant performance," Max said. "After we two Pages attend the First Lord in his chambers, at any rate. You are advising me."

"Advising you?"

"Yes. You were the one who had the big thesis paper on furycrafting theory first year, and I'll be speaking to the… Board of someone or other."

"The Board of Speakers of the Crafting Society?" Tavi asked.

Max nodded. "Those guys. They're meeting with the First Lord to get approval for more studies of, uh…" Max squinted up his eyes. "Arthritic Beer, I keep thinking, but those aren't the right words."

Tavi blinked. "Anthropomorphic Theorem?"

Max nodded again, in exactly the same unconcerned way. "That's it. I've got to learn all about it by the time we walk up to the palace, and you're to teach it to me."

<snip>

"Crows," Max swore. He rose and started for the door. "Come on. I've got to be there in a quarter hour."

Tavi folded the envelope and thrust it into his belt pouch. "All right, all right." They left the room and started across the campus toward one of the hidden entries to the Deeps. "What do you need to know?"

"Well," Max said after a few steps. "Um. All of it."

Tavi stared at the larger boy in dismay. "Max, that class is required. Essentials of Furycrafting. You took that class."

"Well, yes."

"In fact, we had it together."

Max nodded, frowning.

<snip>

"Oh, shut up, Max," Tavi growled. "That was a three-month course. How in the crows am I supposed to give you all of that in the next fifteen minutes?"

"Cheerfully and without complaint," Max replied, grinning. "Like a true and resourceful member of the Realm and servant of the Crown."

But, then again, I'm one of the weirdos that has read this series many many times (especially since I found it right around book three, and I like to reread a series before each new installment, so I've read the first three books at least 8 times)

 

Hahaha! I'd forgotten about Arthritic Beer! Of course, I've only read the series once so far, and that over six months ago. I don't even remember everything that happened in RoW, and I've read that at least three times in the last year.

There are 5 names I recognize here. Guts, Old Ironside, Cinderella, Radio Star, Bruce Lee.

When I saw the list of nonsensical-sounding names, my first instinct was to try and sing it to the tune of We didn't start the fire. Some parts worked surprisingly well.

Anyway, reference you won't get (well, many of my compatriots would get it, but I have yet to meet another one here):

I know I've seen this somewhere, but I don't remember where! Is it some rendition of "Robin Hood," by any chance? I keep thinking it might be "The Princess Bride" because I can envision the face of the guy I remember saying it, but as far as I know, that line isn't in "The Princess Bride."

Cause mine isn’t a pun. It’s like an inside joke about an inside joke, and of the eight-ish people who get it, I’m the only one I’m aware of who reads Brandon Sanderson, so I’m the only person on the planet who gets it.

I just saw a reference in the wild (well not totally in the wild, the video was related but it's still really obscure and I don't think many watchers got it) so I'm sharing it here, just for fun.

Spoiler

I like the guitar solo here. It kills to death, but still somewhere it's... it's 'eally human, see?
