WTFH, Tuesday, January 24th
Good morning, Fandom Island! This is Ronan Nolan, bringing you the news of the day.
Well, of yesterday, technically. But I'm bringing it to you today. Although if you really wanted it yesterday, I could see about a timeslide.
School!
So in Defending Yourself, fight and flight were put forward as a potential best solution. Max offered a bunch of different situations, using the Danger Shop to let students figure out how they'd handle them. And he gave Surreal a TA position. Meanwhile, Food Tour of Fandom focused on German sausage -- and now I want sausage, thank you, Professor Bond. Looks like the students did, too, since they were excited for meat during the lecture, but at least they got to sample sausages in class.
Maybe I'll have to go by Cafe Luke's today, see if they've got any sausages on the menu.
Jaye's random movie pick this week in Philosophy -- best class ever, seriously -- was Small Stereotypical Irish Creature. I swear, they're not like that in real life. For one thing, most of them aren't particularly small, and they don't tend to have much to do with rainbows. The pots of gold, though, that's pretty accurate. And Tyrion, in Basic Strategy, Tyrion gave each student a random book to read and discuss. Blysse got an alternate assignment, though. And speaking of books, over in the library, William had some book-related problems of his own to deal with.
And there were clubs! Kappa Kappa Gremlin met in the rec room for pizza and introductions -- a little late, guys, that's supposed to be the first week of class -- like Tony introducing himself to Anakin Solo and talking about the way alternate versions of people end up at Fandom. Topher, meanwhile, wants, and I quote, 'lightsaber cage matches,' which displeases Anakin, who brings up podracing, instead.
Tony and Lex want to go seemeta for The Avengers with the frat, and are surprised that no girls are crashing; Tony also talks to Ben, who has a ridiculous stack of pizza, about making terrible decisions, drunk or sober. And then Tony's actually the subject of Billy and Topher's conversation, when they make plans to go see the new Assignment: Improbable movie with him. Finally, Tony gave Bobby a hard time for showing up without actually joining.
And the Fandom Hightimes is back, and working on their first assignments! Sam and her horrorscopes has Darcy wanting a giant fork.
... This school, people.
But yes, giant fork. Maybe Darcy's planning to use it, uh, somehow, when she interviews teachers? If she goes for the new ones, like Dave suggested, it might be enough to break their brains. And Annie is planning to figure out what exactly the school board was thinking, given a certain hiring of a certain teacher. Because these are the things the people want to know!
And in the last of the school news, the office had annoying music. Sung by melk-elkoose. ... So lots of braying, presumably. I think I'll skip that album when it comes out.
Dorms!
In the dorms today, Cara had glitter in her clothes. And spent a long time trying to get it out of them.
... And onto town.
Town!
Over at Stark Industries, Ender struggled with pop music until Ben came in with lunch and philosophy. Sounds like a fun lunch-date!
... No, really, I mean that. It does.
Over at Goodvalor's Little Bivoli, Annie didn't receive any Sprite Zero, which sucked for Miley because she wanted some. She should have come in after K brought a delivery of it! Or maybe she should have tried over at Cafe Luke's, since Vincent really does seem to have everything. Including a Roman-style crown of oak leaves, which Jack Carter wants to know if it's mandatory before he and Vincent talk about starting a pool on what the next Fandom weirdness will be, and also if the clone troopers are robots inside the armor.
... Doesn't it kind of say it in the 'clone troopers' name? Presumably they are therefore clones.
At the Magic Box, Surreal settled into her new job by exploring the store, while at Dite's, Karla's looking for movies to watch. Kenzi came in to ask if the cock has a name yet, and they decide that guacamole-flavoured lube is gross. The notes include the phrase 'intimate avocados'. I think I'm just going to go for 'amused' on that one. Hayley shows up, too, and Karla's happy to see her! And also not mad that she didn't show up sooner.
Finally, Jake was boggling about being sheriff while he was working at Caritas, and I popped into the clinic for my shift while covered in blue dust. Seriously, don't go to K'k'ln during the windy season -- that dust gets everywhere.
And that's the news of yesterday, today! Talk to you next week, Fandomites!
