Fandom Radio, Saturday, August 26, 2006
Hello Fandom and welcome to my broadcast! We're gonna do something a little different today so grab some hot ovaltine, a flannel blanket and a stuffed bunny because Uncle John is gonna tell you a story about a magical land and it's magical inhabitants who have very silly names.
Dorm Room with A View
Once upon a time in the land of Gymnasia, there was a kingdom of super sleuthing critters. They went by the names of Tyler, Peter, Tyler, Pip, Pippi, and Gwynn. These weren't just any ordinary critters, you see. No, these critters had red teeth and yellow eyes! But, in the land of Gymnasia, taht was considered quite attractive.
In the town of Fourth Floorina Common Roomina, Sir Blair of Floorina made algae shakes. Those were considered a delicacy, you see, and therefore were highly coveted. Lady Lana tries the algae shake and deems it swell! Sir Blair and Luna of the Gables meet and the two critters instantly hit it off! But, lo, there is a terrible plague in Gymnasia. Will these two new friends get this plague? Find out...soon.
Briar the Talking Pear takes a shake and doesn't detest it. Pears can totally talk. Briar the Talking Pear and Lady Luna discuss the semester upcoming and wonder if the Talking Chocolate Peanuts from the neighboring land will attack them. Sir Blair gives Ivanova the talking Ink Stain a shake and a muffin so the Ball Point Pens of the East do not invade.
For you see, children, the land of Gymnasia was one of peace. Yet there were internal rumblings of strife...
In a quiet tower in the west of Gymnasia, Cedric the Talking Cauliflower, is having an illicit cuddle moment with Jack the Magical Jumping Bean. You see, fine folks, this is forbidden in Gymnasia. The reasons are unknown and, most likely, very scary. There's is a story for later, though.
No, the internal strife comes from the sadness that is engulfing Gymnasia over the exodus of many of it's favorite critters. Why, just today, Cally the Cardinal, Alanna the Banana, D'Anna the Other Banana, Veronica the Green Pepper, Chloe the Hot Pepper, Alphonse the Singing Celery, and Archie the Armadillo all visited the room of Piper of the Penguins to say goodbye. Tis' truly a sad day in Gymnasia. A sadness has befallen the town and there are many more tears to shed in the coming days, folks.
John the Awesome takes care of Aeryn the Avocado in their room. This is from, yet again, another terror gripping Gymnasia. More of that is to come later, kids. Hang on tightly. Dawn the Lawnchair visits the recovering Avocado girl and gets a hug! The Avocado is notorious for her attitude of not hugging in the land of Gymnasia. Willow the Fine Wine also stops by to briefly chat with John the Awesome.
Xander the Trouser Attacher and Bridge the Bouncing Ball play with the flight sim. In Gymnasia, things are never dirty! Cameron the Croquet Ball and Isabel the Ice Machine both visit Sam Who is A Girl. Cedric the Cauliflower talks to Dean the Dental Hygienist about his move to a different hut in Gymnasia. And Alec the Aardvark talks to Dean the Dental Hygienist while he moves.
To further fight the Sadness, there is a birthday party for Lana the Lovely Lavendar Granola Bar in Fourth Floorina Common Roomina. There are greetings of good fortune, cake, lots of friendly chatter, and wonderful presents, of course!
Takin' You Downtown
Cafe Fina, the local inn for Gymnasia, is open! The sadness that is engulfing Gymnasia can be staved off! Look, Falcor!
But there is a plan to stave off the sadness! There is a marathon! A marathon of dance! Jarod the Jumping Pancake and Parker the Pizzaface, Daisy and the Doctor Doolittle, Anakin the Absolute Angel and Rory the Roaring Rowboat, Greg the Granite Nosed Viking and Isabel the Ice Machine, and Jay and Silent Bob are all dancing. But, alas, Jay and Silent Bob fall to the sadness at the twenty one hour mark. Sadness. Isabel the Ice Machine and Greg the Granite Nosed Viking are the next to succumb to the pull of the Sadness. The Sadness takes no prisoners and, next, captures Jarod the Jumping Pancake and Parker the Pizzaface. Eventually, the Sadness also claims Daisy and Doctor Doolittle leaving Rory the Roaring Rowboat and Anakin the Absolute Angel as the champions! The Sadness is defeated! Gymnasia will rise again!
On the sides, Sam Who Is A Girl and Cameron the Croquet Ball dance! Lorelai the Laudering Nun meets Artie the Artistic. Artie the Artistic offers to be Young Bucky's superhero! Awww. The Sadness is once again averted! Peter Parker Who Wears Posies is there to cover the event for the Gymansia Gazette. And the winners get their due!
In another part of the large land of Gymnasia, Honor of the Hoodies and Hamish of the Hamsters meet for a drink and some singing! Or maybe not. And the Sadness is not the only target of the Army of Gymnasia. At the Huntzberger Mansion in the South, Nadia the Nickel Thrower, Anakin the Absolute Angel, Kawalsky the King of Briefcases, Pip the Pollyester King, Molly the Fajita Queen, Pippi the Pristine Piano Player and Walter the Walrus Whisperer go to the Huntzberger residence to confront Jamie the Possibly Evil, only to find Tino the Thong Wearer there all kidnapped and tied up.
The local doctor's office of Gymnasia sees Faithful the Fluffy curious about cabinets in the morning and Tommy the Tuba Player waiting for patients diligently at night. The Sadnes, thankfully, remains away.
And now for a word from a Gymnasia sponsor! "There are so many sad things out there, like unhugged kittens and
chocolate that's not actually made out of chocolate. What's also sad?
Libraries without books!
Awful as it may sound, there are actually libraries out there with
empty shelves, cards that cannot catalogue, and librarians who can do
nothing except comfort their patrons and say "There, there."
But! We can fix this!
I, Willow Rosenberg - well not actually I because John Crichton
is the one reading this, but Willow Rosenberg of room 509 - now with
100% less dead frogs, I swear! - is holding a book drive. Anyone in
Fandom who has books that they can spare is encouraged to set them
aside to give to Willow the next time they see her, or possibly at
drop off points once Willow figures out where those are going to be.
Graduating seniors? This would be a great way not to have to
pack up extra boxes to go home. I'm just saying.
All donated books shall go to libraries in need, as appropriate to
their dimension and timeline.
Any questions or comments or offers to help can be directed to Willow
in person, or you can call 555-WILL.
Have a fine night, folks.
[Okay, so it turned into less of a story and more of a funny names for everyone! It's been a long day]

"A rodent sometimes kept as a pet. It's about the size of a mouse, and doesn't have a tail." Lips pursed, Honor surveyed the board. She moved her knight into position, biting back a chuckle. "Check."
The admiral moved his king. "So they're comparing me to a rodent."
"Something like that." A grin broke across Honor's features. "Checkmate."
