Fandom Radio :: Wednesday, August 8.
Good evening, Fandomites! It's a very special day, because not only is it everyone's favorite night, Wexler Wednesday on WTFH, but it's also 8/8 today! Everything feels so...balanced. It's nice. The Market was not balanced, but it was the good kind of unbalance, the kind that means that the Dow industrials jumped to 13,657.86. Squirrels, catch me, I feel a swoon coming on. That's 1.14 percent, and the NASDAQ ain't too shabby with a 2% jump of its own.
*grumble mutter* I swear, if it dives again this weekend, heads will roll...
Anyway, onto the news! That's what you're really here for, right? Right~!
THE SCHOOL!
At the Happy Super Magical Special Bel-Phoebe-Anders Spectacular Spectacular, Xander-My-Name-is-Cool-Because-it-Starts-with-an-X is bringing AC back and Bel is bringing se-- okay, I'm not reading that. Dib thought he was a current of mechanically cooled air and crawled around in the ducts. Bel kept working after lunch, where Anders-who-is-Cuter-than-Marco-and-you-can-still-vote-for-such-on-the-poll (shut up, I like hyphens) almost got punched for teasing Bel with salad. That's what food eats, Anders. And then Xander was all, "What the hey, Dib, you are not a current of mechanically cooled air, so gee-tee-eff-ohh of my ducts." That's ducts with a -ct, not a -ck. But I don't think Xander would like it if you were in his ducks with a -ck, either.
You know? Xander and Anders...kind of rhymes. You know what else also kind of rhymes with them? Pander, dander, scamper...okay, that one's a stretch, but what doesn't rhyme at all is wall, although wall does rhyme with all, and, okay, I'm stopping and I'll just say that building codes don't allow for certain people who shall not be named but are temporary headmasters to be walled up. And Isabel stopped by, too, to discuss the previously mentioned, currently unwallable.
The topic of the day in Seven Easy Steps to Being Able to Convince People You're a Spy is the physicality of being a spy, and how half of it's actually all in your head. They navigated through a laser maze...did they have to pose as they did it like in that one episode of ANTM? And then they climbed a rock wall. Annette either paid rapt attention or spaced out and thought about flying monkeys instead of laser walls, and Seely and Gavin *whispers* talked quietly, probably about Gavin's crazy so-not-summer wear. Zuko and Rikku do it right by talking after class rather than during, to speak with Miss Aly about meeting in her office, detention, and that Al Bhed holidays are Squirrel Safe. Guess who talked about what. Go on, guess. I dare you. Inara also came to ask Miss Aly about the application of spying techniques to other training. I approve of broadening your abilities to be a more efficient and well-rounded sort of person, Inara.
Just like I dare you to not get totally pumped up for Patriotism (Yay!), where the students made super exciting and thrilling....nation reports.
I totally take back everything I said about getting pumped about Patriotism. I also talked to Mister Rogers about how I might not be in class next week because I'll be gone. That's right. Sad news, I know. But you'll all still be in my heart.
And maybe the fact that hearts are in the meetbells is the reason why the cafeteria was dead today. I'm not saying they were, mind you. That would be libel. I'm just saying it's possible.
In other news, Questar escaped the evil crutches of the Emporer Krulos via his step crystal. And there's a mysterious black figure and certain woodland animals of a particularly blue nature in...well, let's just say, it's a surprise.
...Nice.
The cheerleaders had practice, earlier today, too, and mostly welcomed the new cheerleaders, Claire and...John Sheppard. I'm not laughing. Really. Nope. Not me...
Bwa ha ha ha ha! Anyway! Miss Aly was there, as usual, and Savannah stole a moment of Alec's time and stealing is wrong, Savannah! People warm up, because it's important, and Phoebe was not-talking at Tori and Lana. Very dedicated to her warm-ups, that Phoebe. And Tori complimented Seely on his wonderful broadcast last night. And then they all cheered! No way! That is completely unexpected in every way imaginable!
What is pretty unexpected is that no one showed up to visit Principal Umbridge during her office hours. Word has it, though? *snort* Who would want to. Turns out she's a fan of Rob Thomas, though. Good to know.
THE DORMS!
Robin is looking for a sidekick; no experience necessary. I'd offer to help, but, naturally, someone already asked me. All the good sidekicks, we get claimed first, you know.
In the Third Floor Common Room, Tori is working on something and is interrupted by A.J. and Billy. Tsk. Preventing a good girl like Tori from being hard-working and industrious. For shame.
Those are all the notes I have for the dorms today. Which means you guys are making my job so much easier. Good job!
THE TOWN!
A big giant Mexican stole my boyfriend and took him off island, and if they don't return, I'm so claiming the rights on that story to sell to Lifetime. Roxas roams town with his skateboard.
FANDOM MARKET REPORT, YAY!! Count D's Pet Shoppe was visited by a wolf, who asked Count D. if he'd seen any cute chicks running around in a red cloak, to which Count D. said, "LOL, no," and so the wolf at him instead. True stroy. I'm surprised A.J. didn't draw all over my milkshake at Luke's Diner today, where I got together with Marco-Who-is-Still-Not-Cuter-than-Anders-But-Has-the-Best-Sidekick-IN-THE-WORLD and we talked about how I am a very busy woman, and have no time for sychronized flailing. No time! GOT IT?
Bart, my good employee, was running Turtle & Canary and I stopped in to congratulate him on turning into an animal over the weekend, thus making him officially a fellow Fandomite. Welcome to the coolest club in the world, Bart! I also gave him a raise, because he's not Apu. Meanwhile, the Fandom market continues to grow, expand, and diversify itself with the announcement of the upcoming Wonders of the World Miniature Golf Course and Go Karts, which just makes me think, ooh, yay! More potential date stuff, which becomes important when you finally have a boyfriend, don't you know. John Connor and Adam go have a closer look-see. Johnny's working at the Photo Hut and guess who stops by and guess what they do. Oh, the mystery! I can't take it! Mister Leo thinks Johnny's kissing buddy looks familiar...something tells me that Mister Leo goes through that with a lot of people. Johnny lucked out because he was actually working when Mister Leo came in, and thus the hippie continues to be dillusional about his hotlips employee and Mary invites Johnny to streak through the halls of the Arms or something... *sound of facepalm picked up by mic* And then Mister Leo offered Mary some of his special brownies. Special how? Extra chocolate chips? I want some, too! You should bring some for me at the store tomorrow, Mister Leo! Without the streaking Johnny, kay, thanks.
Andrew opened the Magic Box, and it wasn't even Christmas! Or Hanukkah. Mister Aziraphale stops in to be all British at Andrew and talk about books like a nerd, but at least it wasn't tea? And Mister Aziraphale really pulls off nerd well, so it works. Mister Gabriel is doing his thang at the tax-exempt Our Lady of Fandom Church and Mary yells at Gunther the Arms Hotel. I have the feeling that Gunther gets yelled at a lot. No wonder he serves people for food. That John Connor the Cannibal eats. Mister Keyworth stopped in to catch up with Mary and say, "Mary, I'm sorry, but it is my professional opinion that it's not exactly sane to let your cook serve up people as food. But I have to admit, they're so tasty!"
For the record, the Arms Hotel actually has very excellent food, which I'm sure contains only small traces of human and maybe peanuts.
Jaina's working the bar over at Caritas tonight, where Robin is singing, and Mister Skywalker is talking to Jaina about misuse of power. And Robin fuels his singing with banana smoothies and talks to Mister Skywalker about his protest songs. Must be the potassium. Thanks to Kabuto, the Devil's Nest has the cleanest glasses around. Setsuna is in awe of his clean glasses and D'arrrrrrrgo just wants a drink. And he should get one, on the simple merits of having a freaking awesome name.
The clinic was....stark *snerk* for Stark for the day shift, and Ronan had a quiet night for the evening shift, too. Just how we like it.
THE WTF ARE THESE PEOPLE SMOKING FESTIVAL!
You know, in retrospect, I think I should thank Chad for kidnapping my boyfriend. Because then he would have gone to the Underwear and Waffle Festival in the park today, and the world could have possibly exploded. If it hasn't already from the combination of underwear and waffles, because apparently Fandom didn't get the memo that this is a very combustible combination. Just as Miss Aly. She told me all about it.
Except that she didn't; she actually told me about dildos, but anyway. Tori and Andros mingled a bit, and River and Ronan were all alliterative. River informed Ronan that underwear does not taste as good as waffles. River, would you please talk to Jeff's dog? Ronan and Teddy discuss the fact that the Nomadic Celtic Chef is now showing favoritism and making Teddy and Chad a special date meal. What gives, NCC? Although, if they made menu plans before Ronan was informed about the underwear not being exactly culinary, I don't think I'd mind. Mwa ha ha. Eat my shorts, indeed. Except I'm a girl, so I don't wear shorts, and what I do wear is actually pretty cute; some of them have polka dots, with this little bow and ohmygawd, I'm talking about what my underwear looks like to everyone on the island who has a radio and let's talk about Annette instead. Or John Connor, talking to Ronan about Three Minute Dates. So last week, guys. Anemone and John Connor talk about that weird pet thing she has and high fashion underwear. John Connor was chatty today, because he talked to Mary, too, about underwear and food. You know, because they're so similar and everything, and really, really? This is all just a festival for Nana, isn't it? Oh, and John talked to Setsuna, but not about underwear or waffles, but babies...
...yes, Squirrels, I think a joke there about food is way, way out of line. Setsuna babbled to Ronan in Japanese, too. Faile was confused. I do not blame her.
River, Annette, Anemone, and Billy all designed their own underwear. If any of you are interested, I might be willing to offer up an exclusive designer line through Turtle & Canary....
Teddy, Billy, and Annette all did a little turn on the catwalk, on the catwalk, yeah, the catwalk. Billy ogled Annette because he's a boy and therefor a pervy jerkface (*cough*not that Annette seemed to mind*cough*), but I think Tori ogled her a little bit, too, but I'm not sure, and all I'm saying is Tori, you should have just stayed away from the girlkissy party...*sigh* Does Luke know?
And, since when I think underwear, I think waffles, and so does everyone else, because everyone and their mother's sister's second cousin ate them.
And there was no trouble, either. Good. I'm going to assume it's because Chad kidnapped Jeff. Good call, Chad. Slowly, but surely, you are redeeming yourself for being a big giant failure.
And there you have it. An exciting day of waffles and underwear. Ladies and gentleman, this is Fandom.
G'nite, and have a prosperous day.
