Fandom Radio, Wednesday, September 25th

Good morning, listeners. Cecil here! And before I go on with the news, I just have to say, I saw the cutest little creature up for adoption at the shelter the other day. I really think I need to go give it a home.

*chittering*

It's not a squirrel. And of course it doesn't drink rum - it's a baby! Here, I have a picture on my phone.

*chittering* pause *pointed chittering*

Oh! Right. Okay, so. Here's the news for Fandom for Tuesday, September 24th. We start, as usual, with the school.

In Beginning Gourmet Cooking Techniques, Dr Lecter took his class to Sur la Table - oh, they have the best little chocolates there! Truffles with real truffles! - and they got to learn all about knives and cutting things. Finally, a class with some life lessons in it! But I thought this was about cooking?

*chittering*

Huh, really? Well, I suppose at least the skills can be extrapolated to other uses. When they got back to the Danger Shop, they had a chance to cut some things of their own, and then they got to eat some food with a lot of cutting that Dr Lecter had made.

After that, in History class, Mr Poole set up the Danger Shop - that place is really nifty! And so versatile! Can it be anything?

*chittering*

But why would you want that?

*excited chittering*

If you say so. I'll leave that to your consciences and that of whoever you get to program it for you. It's not my job to judge. Unless you want to hire me for that, too?

*decisive chittering*

Well, all right, then. The offer stands.

Anyway, Mr Poole set it up to be New Orleans of a while back, and told us about the slave rebellion led by Charles Deslondes. Then we explored the city and talked about the rebellion. Which, if you ask me, could've used some of that knife instruction from the other class.

After that, Anakin Skywalker - you know, the Dean - led a discussion in Ethics about how people are different, and...it says here, "whether or not those differences might change in the future". Well, I mean, assuming that any of us is real, aren't we all different, and don't those differences always change? Honestly. Anyway, he lectured about it, and then the students talked about what made them different from other people. Apart from their occupying a discrete space with their skin and organs, presumably.

Then in Hand-to-Hand Combat & Self-Defense, Mr Hansen had the students go over what they learned last week, except matching their partner's movements. They talked about it and paired up to do that.

In the library yesterday - which continues to attempt to lure us all into a false sense of security with its non-deadly behavior - some banned books played music for William. Is he all right? Did they put him into a trance and slaughter him?

*chittering*

Are you sure?

*exasperated chittering*

Well, all right, no need to get testy. I was worried for him!


Constantine let William know he was ordering new books, and then...he "gritted out the music thing", whatever that means.

Meanwhile, in the gym, Flick worked out a bit of aggression on the punching bags. Good for you, Flick! Maybe you'll be ready when the library rears up and tries to assault us all. Then Isabelle happened by to, according to her, according to the squirrels, not stare. Instead, she used the gym for… "some kinky whipping of dummies", it says. Honestly, do we have to report people's sex lives? It's so boring without the video. And then she and Flick discussed cheerleading. Which I've signed up for, so I hope it will be really awesome!

And then over in the town, at the post office the phone wouldn't stop ringing, so Éponine swore at it. Before or after she picked it up, it doesn't say. So if you called the post office and got sworn at yesterday, that's what was going on.

Mike came by to visit her and show her the plans for the bed he's building her. …"Which involved making plans to see her current bed, bow chicka wow wow."? If that's the soundtrack you squirrels know, you need to update your porn collection.

*hopefully chittering*

I'll send you some links.

After that, Kenzi came by, and they talked about how much it would take to ship her somewhere. I generally find it's best to price it out and find out who has the best current record for not losing or mutilating packages.

One of our new residents, Roland - hi, Roland! I'm Cecil; I hope I get to meet you soon - was busking in the park, and the squirrels say his music is pretty good! So everyone go check him out! Possibly not all at once; that might be a bit overwhelming. Maybe just e-mail him pictures of yourself or wave from across the road for a bit.

Kenzi - who seems to have been a lot of places - snuck up on him and asked him about his "pretty harp" - is that a euphemism?

*chittering*

Oh. Okay, it's not! He really does have a harp. But as he explained, he's not from a Renn Faire or anything - nor presumably from the actual Renaissance. Then Kenzi told him about some of the weirdness around here, it says, but I'm not sure what weirdness is that - other than the humidity, which I find weird, but I understand is normal in a coastal climate.

Over at Caritas, there were bunnies all over! That sounds really adorable, even if not quite as cute as this thing I'm going to go adopt!

*chittering*

Which I can talk about later. *sniff* Anyway, they were awfully cute, and Kitty didn't mind at all. Good for her! But Tamsin was annoyed by them - well, it's not her bar, is it? Anyway, and she and Kitty ended up talking about the apparent lawn gnome problem in Fandom.

Is there a problem, other than the tackiness?

*chittering*

Oh, I quite agree, and -

*pointed chittering*

Oh, right, right. Nope, that's it! Thanks for sticking with me, listeners. And hey, if anyone wants to help me and Sholeh name the little guy-gal-or-unspecified-gender critter, let me know! I'm thinking of Foucault, because his birthday is the day I saw the thing, but Sholeh's not convinced. Meanwhile, I leave you with the weather!
