Fandom Sports Radio, September 5
Hey there, Fandom sports fans, armchair jocks, wannabe coaches, and amateur referees! This is Conner with an E-R McKnight in the announcer's booth tonight, here to give you the play-by-plays, highlights, scores and standings from today's wild and crazy Fandom sports extravaganza.
Except the full-contact sports. I can't give you highlight reels from that. Just box scores.
. . . not dirty.
Training Camp: Learning the Fundamentals
So Basic Acting class, the one with the freaky morbid teacher, started with the basics on what acting is and why we act. You know what I hate? Soccer players who think they're Academy Award winners and go flopping all over the field like fish, trying to get a free kick or something. If any of the people in that class play soccer? Oh, we are gonna have words, dude. John Crichton volunteered to TA the class. He even offered to wear spandex. Dude, what about acting class needs you to have that little wind resistance? You guys haven't even gotten to monologues yet!
Music is Love, according to Lorne, and it was free play today with everybody getting to sing and mess around with the instruments of their choice. Okay, so it's not floor hockey or letting people roll you around in a big foam donut, but hey, free play! And then Jaye told Lorne he wasn't allowed to leave again. Seriously, Lorne, man, get a no-trade clause into that contract, stat! He wanted to give Marie a pep talk too . . . how're you doing, Marie? I'm worried about you. Kawalsky was too, looks like, since he asked Bel for a scouting report on her in Criminal Justice, where they went down the team roster and talked about what a crime is. You know what a crime is? That so many games in the World Cup this year came down to penalty kicks. That's a crime. Maybe the biker gang that Bel and Seely were talking about can avenge that. I'd almost pay you guys to do that. Layla was taking some serious scouting notes, and Dean -- that's the Dean with Winchester on his jersey -- thought she was being too thorough. You can't be too thorough about that kind of thing. Seriously. You never know when you might need to know that one of the midfielders on the opposite team obsessively reties his shoes every ten minutes, or something. Then Layla talked to Alec about Dean.
Seely must be the rookie on that team roster, since he met Crichton and found out about, um, Toasty, and according to Kawalsky he got his clothes back. Man, rookie hazing rituals suck. Alec was cranky at Dean, and Seely and Peter my fellow soccer fan got in each other's faces -- hey, things aren't always great in the locker room. Luke and Teddy went a little intramural and talked about the Ethics teacher, and River stuck around for a post-game interview with V.
Literature in Action also did the team-roster thing, and we had to discuss our favorite piece of fiction. My least favorite piece of fiction? That the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is the greatest rivalry in all of sports history. Please. Then we got a quiz, because it's never too early to test your skills on the field, and Hikaru and Kaoru did the post-game interview with Thursday.
In Humor, because humor is totally necessary to keep morale up, we split up into groups to discuss what we think is funny. Cally was totally passing notes to one of the other teams, though. Okay, it was chocolate, but still! And Lana told Doctor Wilson she missed him. Hey Doc Wilson? You know that advice to Lorne about the no-trade clause? I'm recommending that to you too.
In super-secret advance scouting, I mean, Spies and Spying, the team roster and introduction thing happened again. Well, duh. It's the first week! You kind of have to know who your teammates are or it's chaos on the field. The twins threw notes at Sakurazaki -- aren't there supposed to be slicker ways of passing along coded messages than that? -- and Molly and Teddy met, then Eric volunteered to be assistant coach . . . TA, whatever . . . while Bridge gave Aly the lowdown on his special skills and -- hey! He's an assistant coach-TA-thing too!
Biology did the -- you guessed it -- roster thing too, and Isabel talked with Teddy and Parker.
I hear the library is a happening place. Sort of like the concessions stand at halftime. Winchester-Sam came in to talk to Rory, Alanna told Rory about . . . whoa, back up, her daughter who goes to school here? That's . . . huh. Yeah, hi, welcome to Fandom, everybody! Professor Roslin, Doc Wilson, and Thursday Next were in the library too, doing whatever it is teachers do in the library. Rory and Angela talked classes and cute teachers, and Rory gave Naomi reading recommendations.
Team Nutrition and the Disabled List Update
Down in the cafeteria, where everybody was hanging out at Nadia's table except Shawn, Briar and Nadia talked about food preferences. Carbs are important, people, okay? No matter what the fad diets are telling you. Naomi caught up with Nadia and planned a shopping excursion for Friday. At least you guys waited until after the Labor Day shopping rush that we . . . um, totally don't have here, but talk about full-contact sports. Weekend relaxation is in the plans for Nadia and Pippi this weekend, because every team needs an off day, and Anders and Nadia talked about taste tests and getaway days. Pippi and Anders talked about bottling laughter, which is the kind of performance-enhancing supplement that should totally be legal.
And now for your injury report, Nadia visited Jamie in the clinic during Doctor Troy's shift this morning, and it was a quiet evening for Doctor Lambert. Aw, c'mon, Madrox can't be that much of a model patient.
Trade Rumors, or What's the Front Office Up To?
Professor Roslin got a visit from soccer-fan Peter during her office hours; Bel, Alanna, and Sam-whose-jersey-says-Winchester dropped in on John Winchester; Briar, Angela, Ray, Doc Wilson, Mac, Pete, Sir Didymus, and Door all pestered Abby; Abby dropped in on Professor Cale; and Darth Vader got bothered by Doc Wilson, Krycek, and Schrodinger, but Yondaime and creepy morbid acting teacher got to come up with new strategies in peace.
Party in the Team Hotel: Where the Real Full-Contact Sports Happen
Yeah, talking about full-contact sports? Ask Bel and Phoebe, or John and Aeryn. Eat your heart out, Paul Tagliabue! Jack and Sam whose jersey would say "Carter" were doing the cute datey thing, but I don't know if that was more basketball or hockey, you know what I mean?
Matilda was making pancakes in the third floor common room this morning. Faithful and Alanna were there, and this just in: Alanna is still short. Hey, don't look at me like that, it's what the notes said. Chad? Only 72% caveman. What's the other 28%? Naomi had pancakes -- gotta get your daily fiber intake, y'know -- and talked to Matilda about food replicators and the future. Hey, food replicators? They still replicate all the vitamins and stuff, right? Naomi and Chad talked classes, like Matilda the Astronomy TA did with Walter and Pup, and Walter and Chad, who Pup seems to like a whole lot. Matilda and Chad met, and while Chad might have a career in the NFL or NBA ahead of him at that size, Matilda might be . . . um, better suited as a horse jockey? Well, not today, anyway, since she offered the twins pancakes, and something significant and mysterious went along with the offer. Maybe a future offer for a player to be named later and cash? Oh, and Chad got punched by a girl, but he won't tell who. Dude! Around here? That could be anybody.
After classes up in the fourth floor common room, Blair had Bitterwoman reruns and popcorn. Bitterwoman and popcorn: they go together like baseball, hot dogs, and Cracker Jacks. Only without the catchy marketing slogans. He's thinking about getting an alternate personality. Dude? Done that. It's weird. Billy and Molly did the meeting thing, Joxer totally failed to catch the giant in the basement (because there was a giant in the basement like there's an endzone in soccer) and gave Billy advice on picking up women -- um -- and Blair and Billy talked about classes and meditation.
Sakurazaki was practicing her forms in the salle today, something I should do sometime soon. You know what I'm not doing again any time soon? Watching some acid-trip 70s movie where Perth Tristow's dad is a happy religious clown, which is what Nadia and a bunch of us were doing in the fifth floor common room. Nadia and Weiss talked about SpyPappy, Pippi totally failed to sneak up on Nadia, Lavender who I'm really kicking myself for not saying hi to 'cause she's cute met Pippi and Nadia, and Walter talked about classes with Pippi, Nadia, and Billy. Billy liked the movie, actually, but I thought it was weird. So did Anders, who talked to Nadia about, um, vicious pink ponies, and Billy about not wearing a dress. Pete, who talked to Nadia, Weiss, and Billy, thought it was weird too, and so did Cally, who talked to Nadia, Anders, and Billy. Mac was too happy about having coffee, and too busy talking to Pippi, Nadia, Billy, Weiss, and Lavender, to boggle at the TV, but Shawn wandered all the way up from the second floor to gape at the TV and get bugged by me, Nadia, Pippi, Billy, and Mac.
Looks like the gremlins did a little halftime show in the third floor common room! Ray told Luke about Halloween, and Dawn and Hamlet broke Luke a little -- dude, guys, don't be haters! At least Gwynn got brainbreaky with Luke. It's always better with company. Rory busted out the popcorn with Luke, Isabel, and Angela, and Isabel talked with Alanna and Hamlet. Blair? Yeah, he loooooooooooooooves the gremlins. So does Alanna. Or she loved their show, at least.
*rustles papers* Okay, newbies? I am not on drugs, I swear. I'm serious when I tell you that a talking toaster talked to Luke, Rory, Angela, and Gwynn, and went airborne thanks to Isabel and Alanna. And then there was the hot pink bunny.
Evie talked with Alanna and Isabel, and Hermione yelled at everybody to be quiet. Dude, don't be a hater either! Carmela is kinda in love with Fandom still, and that's all good. Peter Parker got Luke woe instead of a camera, and Z was a lowercase o, a period, and a capital O.
Um. Hey, that's what the notes said. Is that some kind of weird scoring notation I haven't heard of? For some alien sport?
. . . Anders, have you been writing on these notes?
Billy and Teddy were up on the roof, but no reports of EXTREME ROOF SPORTS tonight. Blair and Lyra had one-on-one meditation training, Cedric who is now roommate-less got a visit from Isabel, Tyler was in an emailing frenzy, Door got a voicemail, and the twins were hanging in their room. Parker and Alanna were hanging out and talking about the new students.
Oh, cool. Bridge dropped by to see Marie and . . . awww, glovebuddies! That's not dirty, I swear. Willow was also there talking to her roomie, and Willow, am I off the hook with you yet?
Oh, and Peter the soccer fan is no longer a horse. Sorry if anybody was getting Kentucky Derby ideas.
Post-Victory Party on the Town
Hey, at least nobody's rioting and setting stuff on fire, unlike some major-market sports cities I can think of. Caritas was pretty quiet, but Dana was at the bar. All and Sundries and Empire Records were pretty quiet, too. Must've been an away game.
Sister Rosette was trying to get the Communion supplies upgraded. To what? Gatorade and energy bars? That would rock. Cedric was at the spa for a haircut today, courtesy of Isabel, and I totally approve of that, 'cause you gotta look good in those AP action shots, you know? Walter went to Cafe Fina and gave Alfred an update on his training regimen, and Ranma and Chad went for a late walk. Woo! Cardiovascular workout!
Aziraphale and Wilson were watching TV tonight. Any good games on? I got distracted by the scary religious clown movie. Professor Roslin wrote a letter home.
And . . . because full-contact sports sell, I've got a report of what went down at the Fourth Sin tonight, where Jarod had the Wheel of Sexual Fortune goin' on. Miho was kinda surprised that it was real, Tyler wondered how much stuff on the wheel was legal. Jaye was going for extreme sports of the taunt-the-hookers kind, and wow, I hope you have a good insurance policy, Jaye. Coach GOB tried to get a free spin on the wheel, Becky found something on the wheel even she hadn't done, Dana was there, and Seely was there sightseeing . . . yeah, talk about a place to get an eyeful, dude.
It's been a hot and sweaty night in Fandom, that's for sure. In lots of ways.
Well, there's the whistle and that's a full ninety, so this is Conner McKnight heading off the field and hanging up the cleats for the night. Hit the showers, everybody!
Except the full-contact sports. I can't give you highlight reels from that. Just box scores.
. . . not dirty.
