Fandom Radio :: June 27.
Good Evening, Fandomites! It's Wexler Wednesday on WTFH Radio, brought to you, obviously, by the letter W. Unfortunately, I'm all pirated out, so you'll just have to deal with the regular old Turtle tonight. You can send any letter of complaint or concern to P.O. Box Too Bad.
The Market today was full of yay and seems to be on a nice steady increase, which is good news for you investors, and might possibly mean a pay-off soon! Dow Jones is up .68 from yesterday and the NASDAQ's got 1.21. I love when there's a number before the point, don't you?
You know what else I love?
School: Place'o'Learning!
The Super Happy Bel-Phoebe-Anders Cuddle Hour was supervised by Constable Fraser today and....work actually seemed to have gotten done. Work that didn't involve cuddling. I'm shocked. Simply shocked. The heat isn't bothering Bel at all, who, I guess can stay in the kitchen, then. Conner trains for a future career in slo-mo modeling. Fandom's Next Top Male Model? Mmmm. Anders and Bel have lunch, and, well, so does Conner, but only with less Anders and more tapioca.
Yuck. I hate tapioca. Bel continues to work uneffected by the heat but that doesn't mean he keeps his shirt on, and Conner strips down, too, because that's the only way to get ahead in the modeling world anymore it seems.
Did I mention yet that it's hot out? And I will submit that this is completely unrelated news.
In Ninja-ing, Mister Yondaime, being a married man, misses the thrill of the chase and has his students try to catch him. Like a cold. Ach-oo.
And then, in a Very Special How to Annoy Your Teachers (Without getting Turned into an Animal, unless you are Animal, in which case, nevermind, they get to annoy someone VERY SPECIAL: Wilbur. I am sad, because I do not know Wilbur and am feeling like I really, really should. And Rikku wants to cheer Mister Crichton up! Rikku is very, very, very, very, very good at cheering people up. I know this from personal ice cream experience earlier today. Yay Rikku!
History in Action had a bittersweet last day as Miss Roslin announced that she'll be leaving Fandom. Awwww. Good luck with everything, Miss Roslin! Lots of people came up to tell her how much they'll miss her and how awesome her class was, like Evie, Robin, and Anders, who's not in the class, but that doesn't bar him from missing her. Adam also offered some grateful words, because Adam, who saves people from nasty meteorite monsters, is awesome.
Women and Gender Studies was short and sweet, too, with an encouraging...uhh...encouragement to go change the world! Whoo! Couldn't ask for a better way to end a class than a rally like that.
Interdiciplinary Studies or Whatever have an easy class of firestarting and cooking and, ohmigawd, I love the end of the term school report because nothing much happens and so it gets done and over with so quickly! Although, no one really gave Mister Squall all the end-of-class love. Setsuna was annoying, though. I don't even think she's taking Mister Crichton's class, but I think Mister Crichton owes her an A anyway.
Dorms: Home away from Home!
Wednesday means many things, including cheerleading practice, where my fake big sis announces that she'll be going home for a little bit, until the fall, and have a good time, Buffy! Your fake little sis will miss you! Alec will miss her too! A bunch of the cheerleaders warmed up, because it's important!, and then they practiced. Like you do...at a practice. Annette and Buffy worked on flips! Cool! And I did not just admit that something about cheerleading was cool. Nope. You imaginined it. The audience was all abuzz today, too. Johnny's there, laughing at Evie cheering on the cheerleaders, which isn't nice, but at least he wasn't kissing her. Evie is unfazed, though, until she practically falls on top of him and breaks open her skull and I just might be exaggerating here. John Sheppard compliments Evie's spunk and cheerfulness. Dawn joins those in the audience, although she's not exactly cheering, which I support, because it seems silly to cheer cheerleaders. Isn't that their job? Just saying....Anyway, she tells Evie about her sunburn, and, it might be a little too late, but we've got a great selection of sunblock at the store, Dawn. Molly waved to her and snickered. John Sheppard waved, but did not snicker. Rikku bounced to Dawn. Because that is what a Rikku does. John Sheppard does the cheerleaders' jobs for them by cheering for them, but at least Buffy appriciated it. So did Molly and Annette. Those all seem like painfully cheerleady names. Buffy, Molly, and Annette. Huh. Hamlet came to cheer the cheerleaders, too, and got bounced at by a Rikku, and Karal was glad to be out of the heat. And maybe do a little cheering, because it was apparantly Everybody Cheer Day and I missed the memo. Molly took a break to chat with him and John got to know him a little better. Karal is confused how cheerleading is a sport. Me, too, Karal. ME TOO. Anders who is Cuter than Marco is there and talks to Sheppard, Abigail is there and talks to Sheppard, Tori is there and probably talks to Sheppard, blah blah blah. You get the idea.
In an exersize in futility this morning, Aeryn and Crichton have a fight and then make up in one fell swoop. A long fell swoop, but a fell swoop all the same.
...What exactly is a fell swoop? I'll note that the squirrel who stalks around the dorms mentioned that "everyone was at the beach omg." This? Is true. We'll get to that soon. Those notes? Are, like, longer than War and Peace. Yet, probably fifty times more interesting.
At least, that's how it was until this evening. Hermione's in the third floor common room watching the Discovery Channel, and I would say something about being a nerd here, but it would be coming from a girl who watches C-Span, so I have no room to talk. Not even a millicentimeter. Which is a real measurement, I swear, that I did not just make up. At all. Carmela, who I don't think I know at all, so, um, HI CARMELA! She talks about the Discovery Channel while watching the Discovery Channel, which makes me wonder if there's someone watching them while they talk about the....HEY! There is! Squirrels watch them, and I talk about them, and whoa, that's a little creepy and stuff. Jim walks in and is all, "HAY GUYS! What're we watching?" because he doesn't think to look at the corner of the screen where there's the little Discovery Channel logo. Hermione mentions that she's taking Discovery Channel notes and Jim comments that he doesn't know anyone as dedicated to learning as Hermione. Jim? If you find anyone more dedicated to learning than Hermione, I'll give you, like, fifty bucks. Seriously. Mel thinks Jim's jokes are lame. But isn't that part of their charm, really? And I'm only defending Jim here because I know that his jokes are probably the same jokes I would have made. Yeesh. I need to invest in a better sense of humor. Collie wants to know if Jim is still a pirate. Once ye be a pirate, ye always be a pirate, Collie, yaaaaaarrrrr! Naminé comes in and Discovers the Discovery of Discovery Channel! That's a lot of discovering! She and Hermione discuss busting myths, although not over the head with a wiffle bat, and then she and Carmela talk about getting paint off themselves. Mel asks Naminé about good words. You know what I think is a good word?
Money. You know what else?
Ice cream. Another?
Heart attack. Okay. That's two words and actually not so good, but it worked as a segue into Mel having one over Hermione watching TV. "IT'S EDUCATIONAL!" Hermione flails. "Educational on rye bread with mayonaisse," Mel retorts, but doesn't, not really, as I just made that up and it doesn't even make sense. And, apparantly, Conner is allergic to the Discovery Channel. Weirdest allergy ever. Mel is very thoughtful and checks to see if anyone has any meds for Conner's allergy. Hermione assures him that the educational TV won't hurt him, really. And she should know. She's studied it, probably. And Conner-shudders cause Carmela-eyerolls, which cause a tsunami in Iceland.
Yes. Iceland. There's a special on it next week on the Discovery Channel. Collie fails to notice the Discovery Channel logo, too, which just makes me think that they really aren't getting the most out of a logo as a company should. It fails. Get a new one. Collie gets a lot of answers: Educational Crap from Mel and Old Dogs learning New Tricks from Hermione, which is funny, because it's Collie. Not that Collie is old, or anything, but you get it. I hope. Adam was there, too, who meets Carmela and the Mythbusters via Hermione.
Annette gives Dick a phone call before she conks out and gets some rest, Donnie stops by to check on Mikey, but it turns out Mikey is a wee tiny turtle at the moment. Hey! I went through a wee tiny turtle phase, too! Like, when I was actually a wee tiny turtle. It was a lot of fun, but I couldn't do much. I think I got to the end of the hallway, and then it was late, so I went back to go to bed.
Town: Where Stuff Happens!
Movies in the Park is a subtle hit, as usual, with Annette enjoying some, uh...quiet time, and Jim and Lana are being all cute and cuddly. I would have thrown food at the-- errrr, uhhh, that didn't come out right! No one threw food at anyone! Not even in a poorly thought out comment! Um, outside of movies, Billy is brooding on the playground. Is because he's way too old and big to be playing on the playground? Billy needs a hobby. Like model airplanes. Or collectable eyepatches.
Duh-dah-duh-daaaaa! Fandom Business Report! Yes, I'm still working on finding a musical overture for it. For now, that's what you get. Duh-dah-duh-daaaaa! It might catch on! Anyway, Book Haven is opened by Chris, and dog!Prune is there to help! Clearly, to help keep soliciters away and assist with....you know. What Prunes help with. Which seems weird for a book store, but whatever. Billy was apparantly pretty confused, too, because he went there looking for timber. When there's a whole forest right over there. I'm shaking my head right now, but you can't hear it, unless I were to put bells in my hair like that one teacher. The Magic Box was opened by Mister Giles and all the evil of the world were unleashed. Just kidding! That, my friends, was just a bad attempt at an extravagent pun. Very bad. Mister Keyworth stops in all nervous like, despite no evil being unleashed on the world today. Yet. That we know about. Unless you count the squirrels themselves. Luke's Diner is open and Mister Yitzhak's special's board speaks of things I can't mention. The last one, anyway. Johnny is working at the the Photo Hut, and Miss Connell stops in, which ends up being awwwwwwk-ward, probably because he, I don't know, kissed her or something, ugh. Over at Miss Connell's place of business, the Arms Hotel, there's an awesome menu being served that I should really check out. Anders who is Cuter than Marco beat me to it and splurged on the smorgasborg. Mister Leo stops in to talk to Miss Connell about her birthday party. Oh! Birthday coming up? Happy birthday, Miss Connell! Stop in the store sometime for the birthday discount. That, like, no one ever takes advantage of. Not that I'm complaining. Chilly Boulder got a visit from me and Rikku the Awesome, and Adam stopped by, too. He saved me when those meteorite things attacked, so he's pretty cool, too. The tax-exempt Our Lady of Fandom Church was tended, as usual, by Mister Gabriel, and Karal drops off books. Books. You know, like you get a book store, Chris and Billy. The Post Office has Katara working there today, and Chad seems to think she needs to shave her...Okay, this better be talking about the post office's feline resident, that's all I'm saying. Turtle & Canary was quiet today, although a very, very nice bouquet showed up from me, free of bees and everything, so, um...
...Thanks, Annette.
*small moment of silence*
Um, so, uh, in other news....Doctor Wilson kicks it back with a newspaper for the day shift at the clinic and Doctor Lambert is kicking it back with a laptop for the night shift. Jaina taught the zombie band a song over at Caritas. Mister Gabriel decided to get out of the church. Miss Connell comments on such and then chats with Jaina with the typical "Hey, how are ya" get to know you banter. The bars are a little more active tonight then usual. Kabuto's color-coding stuff like a total nerd at the Devil's Nest, where Doctor Wilson abandons his newspaper for a scotch and a chat with Mister Lucifer, who also chats with Kabuto. Actually, no. They don't chat. Kabuto actually just does his job for once, and then goes back to being a nerd. Mister Lucifer and Doctor Wilson continue being chatty while playing pool...in a game that actually didn't get finished, and the rest of what happened there won't get finished being reported on, either. Yeeeeeesh.
The Beach: Where it's HOT, OMG
Isabel goes down to the beach to catch some rays and instead the rays catch the sand and a big freakin' party explodes. Steve Peter...who the heck is Steve Peter?...anyway, he helps protect Isabel from Evil UV rays by slathering some lotion on her in a completely useful and not at all sensual way, I'm sure, and they argue "cutely," as my notes say, which means without punches. Or so one would assume. Mister Skywalker enjoys the sun and assures Isabel that she isn't an ice princess. Well, duh, because then she'd melt. Psssh. Tori waves to Mister Skywalker and they chat about the weather. This is how it went, I imagine: "Hey, it's hot." "Oh, I know. Man. Hot." "Yup. Hot." Because it's freakin' hot. Which reminds me! Sale on popsicles and ice cream tomorrow at Turtle & Canary! Get 'em while it's still hot!
See? Even the squirrels that that was a good one, they didn't even hit me! Back to the party. Annette is there and chats with Isabel about how it's just good to kick back and relax from cheerleading or football practices. She also chats with Robin about how great the beach is and why do I suddenly picture Robin, arms all a-flailing, going "Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!" Huh. Anyway, Annette helps him get some lotion on because Evil UV is harmful to frogs, too! Especially frogs; they need lots of water. Stay safe, Robin! No one, I'm sure, wants fried frog legs when they're yours. Seely and Isabel chat about Cuddles. Whether this is the act of cuddling, Al's cat, or that oh-so-he's-going-to-get-his-butt-whupped nickname for Aravis is undetermined, but we can all take a pretty good guess. Johnny showed up and surprisingly didn't kiss anyone. Isabel tells him, "Hey! No flaming today! Too hot for flaming!" which is very good advice...and why are the squirrels snickering at that? I don't get these squirrels sometimes. Gavin thought that maybe Johnny had disappeared, but, nope, just supercross for a week, which Johnny tells him about, and Gavin tells him about that trip to New York. Robin and Johnny dig the waves. Neil's all set with sunscreen, towel and book, and he chats with Isabel about the summer in Fandom. Which, if you didn't notice, is hot. And then he catches up with Annette. Tori brought along her surfboard and talks to Isabel about giving a surfing demonstration, which would be pretty sweet. I've never surfed before; grew up by Lake Michigan. Not exactly the best for surfing, heh. Tori offers expert insight to Robin about makeshift surfboards, but, really, you should come check out T & C, Robin! We've got those little ones, you know, the floatie ones? I don't know anything about surfing, but I'd bet those would be just right! Aravis is there, too, as well as, clearly, everyone and their mothers...actually, Jo and Ms. Harville weren't there, so...nevermind. Anyway, Aravis boggled at Isabel a lot. The topic of conversation? The Jerries. And aliens. Yeah. I can see why she was boggling. And then Seely was showing off and Aravis was all, "LOL, hope a shark doesn't eat you!" and then one did, and she felt really, really bad.
Actually, no. No sharks at Seely. But after Aravis brought up the new nickname, I bet he hoped one would! No sharks gnawing on Gavin, either, but his is jawing with Tori about her word of the day, surfing, and Gavin's all, "WHOA, That's cool!" It is cool. Tori's cool, too. You can't see me right now, Tori, but I'm giving you the thumbs up. Cuddle--errr, Aravis, hehe, sorry, Aravis! Please don't beat me up! Anyway, Aravis actually got along with Gavin as they talked about wars. OH THE IRONY! And then Gavin talked with Isabel about the heat. Wonder if all this heat is from the hot air of everyone talking about it, geeez. Maybe if you ignore it, it'll go away? Or we can all move to Canada and wear cool hats in the snow. But not ones we steal from Mounties, right, Mister Deadpool? Anyway, that Steve Peter kid comes around and talks to Gavin about New York and the Cracker Barrel. A store in which Turtle & Canary is far superior to. Trust me. Dawn showed up and was all, "HAY PEOPLE!" and Isabel waved back and was all "HAY DAWN! This heat sucks!" And Dawn said, "Yes. Indubitably. And this humidity is also quite ghastly." Isabel responded, "Quite, quite, I agree. Let us go have some tea," because, apparantly, in my head, Dawn and Isabel just turned British. Steve Peter, who is not British, because we already have an English Peter, talked with her about vacation plans and stupid meteorite monsters that are all, "Hi, I'm cute! Now I'm ugly and will eat your face!" Which is why you should never trust cute things right out. Karal relocated from church to beach and Isabel offers to help him look for better beach threads because those robes just ain't cuttin' it. In fact, they have Dawn concerned that he has to be roasting in them. Because it's hot. In case you didn't notice.
The Ever-Amazing Charlie talks to Karal, too, and invites him to the SUPER AWESOME BARBEQUE she and I are having tomorrow! So, uhhh, I guess now I'm inviting everyone, too? Because it wouldn't be very nice to be all, "Yeah, Charlie and I are going to have this awesome barbeque, but you can't come." That's mean. And we're not mean, so, whoo! Barbeque! This? Makes my job of inviting people a lot easier. And if it turns out anything like this beach party turned out, well...I would apologize to Thursday's broadcaster, but I have to go through all this, so, yeah. No sympathy, Jim and Collie. You guys are strong, though. You will persevere! Anyway, Robin and Isabel meet and then Charlie chat a bit with Isabel before inviting her to the B-B-Q, too, and talking about meeting guys, and she chats with Robin about...the heat. Man. Hot topic.
Oh, admit it, that was a good one.
Hey, look. One of the late night squirrels just brought me something. What'cha got there...Hmmm, turns out the Jerries have just put...a grocery bag...under...a....
Oh, cripes! That's right! I gotta go! Ohmigosh, they actually....! I mean....! Whoa!
G'nite! And have a prosperous day! Bag!!
The Market today was full of yay and seems to be on a nice steady increase, which is good news for you investors, and might possibly mean a pay-off soon! Dow Jones is up .68 from yesterday and the NASDAQ's got 1.21. I love when there's a number before the point, don't you?

Mister Lucifer and Doctor Wilson continue being chatty while playing pool...in a game that actually didn't get finished, and the rest of what happened there won't get finished being reported on, either. Yeeeeeesh.
The Beach: Where it's HOT, OMG
Isabel goes down to the beach to catch some rays and instead the rays catch the sand and a big freakin' party explodes. Steve Peter...who the heck is Steve Peter?...anyway, he helps protect Isabel from Evil UV rays by slathering some lotion on her in a completely useful and not at all sensual way, I'm sure, and they argue "cutely," as my notes say, which means without punches. Or so one would assume. Mister Skywalker enjoys the sun and assures Isabel that she isn't an ice princess. Well, duh, because then she'd melt. Psssh. Tori waves to Mister Skywalker and they chat about the weather. This is how it went, I imagine: "Hey, it's hot." "Oh, I know. Man. Hot." "Yup. Hot." Because it's freakin' hot. Which reminds me! Sale on popsicles and ice cream tomorrow at Turtle & Canary! Get 'em while it's still hot!
See? Even the squirrels that that was a good one, they didn't even hit me! Back to the party. Annette is there and chats with Isabel about how it's just good to kick back and relax from cheerleading or football practices. She also chats with Robin about how great the beach is and why do I suddenly picture Robin, arms all a-flailing, going "Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!" Huh. Anyway, Annette helps him get some lotion on because Evil UV is harmful to frogs, too! Especially frogs; they need lots of water. Stay safe, Robin! No one, I'm sure, wants fried frog legs when they're yours. Seely and Isabel chat about Cuddles. Whether this is the act of cuddling, Al's cat, or that oh-so-he's-going-to-get-his-butt-whupped nickname for Aravis is undetermined, but we can all take a pretty good guess. Johnny showed up and surprisingly didn't kiss anyone. Isabel tells him, "Hey! No flaming today! Too hot for flaming!" which is very good advice...and why are the squirrels snickering at that? I don't get these squirrels sometimes. Gavin thought that maybe Johnny had disappeared, but, nope, just supercross for a week, which Johnny tells him about, and Gavin tells him about that trip to New York. Robin and Johnny dig the waves. Neil's all set with sunscreen, towel and book, and he chats with Isabel about the summer in Fandom. Which, if you didn't notice, is hot. And then he catches up with Annette. Tori brought along her surfboard and talks to Isabel about giving a surfing demonstration, which would be pretty sweet. I've never surfed before; grew up by Lake Michigan. Not exactly the best for surfing, heh. Tori offers expert insight to Robin about makeshift surfboards, but, really, you should come check out T & C, Robin! We've got those little ones, you know, the floatie ones? I don't know anything about surfing, but I'd bet those would be just right! Aravis is there, too, as well as, clearly, everyone and their mothers...actually, Jo and Ms. Harville weren't there, so...nevermind. Anyway, Aravis boggled at Isabel a lot. The topic of conversation? The Jerries. And aliens. Yeah. I can see why she was boggling. And then Seely was showing off and Aravis was all, "LOL, hope a shark doesn't eat you!" and then one did, and she felt really, really bad.
Actually, no. No sharks at Seely. But after Aravis brought up the new nickname, I bet he hoped one would! No sharks gnawing on Gavin, either, but his is jawing with Tori about her word of the day, surfing, and Gavin's all, "WHOA, That's cool!" It is cool. Tori's cool, too. You can't see me right now, Tori, but I'm giving you the thumbs up. Cuddle--errr, Aravis, hehe, sorry, Aravis! Please don't beat me up! Anyway, Aravis actually got along with Gavin as they talked about wars. OH THE IRONY! And then Gavin talked with Isabel about the heat. Wonder if all this heat is from the hot air of everyone talking about it, geeez. Maybe if you ignore it, it'll go away? Or we can all move to Canada and wear cool hats in the snow. But not ones we steal from Mounties, right, Mister Deadpool? Anyway, that Steve Peter kid comes around and talks to Gavin about New York and the Cracker Barrel. A store in which Turtle & Canary is far superior to. Trust me. Dawn showed up and was all, "HAY PEOPLE!" and Isabel waved back and was all "HAY DAWN! This heat sucks!" And Dawn said, "Yes. Indubitably. And this humidity is also quite ghastly." Isabel responded, "Quite, quite, I agree. Let us go have some tea," because, apparantly, in my head, Dawn and Isabel just turned British. Steve Peter, who is not British, because we already have an English Peter, talked with her about vacation plans and stupid meteorite monsters that are all, "Hi, I'm cute! Now I'm ugly and will eat your face!" Which is why you should never trust cute things right out. Karal relocated from church to beach and Isabel offers to help him look for better beach threads because those robes just ain't cuttin' it. In fact, they have Dawn concerned that he has to be roasting in them. Because it's hot. In case you didn't notice.
The Ever-Amazing Charlie talks to Karal, too, and invites him to the SUPER AWESOME BARBEQUE she and I are having tomorrow! So, uhhh, I guess now I'm inviting everyone, too? Because it wouldn't be very nice to be all, "Yeah, Charlie and I are going to have this awesome barbeque, but you can't come." That's mean. And we're not mean, so, whoo! Barbeque! This? Makes my job of inviting people a lot easier. And if it turns out anything like this beach party turned out, well...I would apologize to Thursday's broadcaster, but I have to go through all this, so, yeah. No sympathy, Jim and Collie. You guys are strong, though. You will persevere! Anyway, Robin and Isabel meet and then Charlie chat a bit with Isabel before inviting her to the B-B-Q, too, and talking about meeting guys, and she chats with Robin about...the heat. Man. Hot topic.
Oh, admit it, that was a good one.
Hey, look. One of the late night squirrels just brought me something. What'cha got there...Hmmm, turns out the Jerries have just put...a grocery bag...under...a....
Oh, cripes! That's right! I gotta go! Ohmigosh, they actually....! I mean....! Whoa!
G'nite! And have a prosperous day! Bag!!
