Fandom Radio, Friday, August 10, 2007

"Friday? Again? Seriously? What happened to Saturday through Thursday? Oh right, the Oprah marathon. It's that time again, boys and girls and other things that don't fall into those categories. This is Hades, Lord of the Dead, God of the Underworld and Cheese coming to you from WTFH pirate radio in the heart of downtown Fandom. Let's just do this, okay?



Class: Some of Us Have It, Some of You Don't

Headmaster Umbridge, that crazy gal who loves her titles as much as she loves kittens and all things pink, cancelled the cabin move-in, vowed revenge on this and that and asked Sam to come to her office. And by asked, I really don't mean asked.

I announced that there were blue, flying, singing hedgehogs around town, which there were.

Xan the Man, as opposed to Xan the Woman, was in charge of construction. Stark and Bel worked on the ventilation system. Let's hope they got it right. Anders took photos of the work in progress.

Applied Ethics with Harriet Jones talked about when to disobey the law. Students talked about unjust laws like jaywalking and water restrictions and Dawn made lists while Luke showed her his wounds. Same again in the other class, except replace Dawn and Luke schmoopy time with Ed Elric and The Great Namingo asking Harriet questions.

Dealing With the Opposite Sex focused on awkward situations. Example: marriage. Don't go there, not even to make a point about your superiority. Pairing up was the act of the day to deal with seeing a friend's bare backside, kissing someone other than your boyfriend, girlfriend or amorphous tentacled romantic interest, getting caught reading someone's email, dating someone underage and eating the last slice of pie. That last one is the worst, especially at company picnics that double as family reunions, I'm telling you. Sam told Savannah that Umbridge hurt his hand and she traded him for news about her PDA Awareness Day plan. Aaaand Little Bo Peep is a bunny. Andrew brought him in to show Vala why he won't be in class.

Interdisciplinary Studies learned self-defense. The best kind of self-defense - self-defense with swords and ice-throwing women.

The cafeteria was quiet, but the same couldn't be said for Headmaster Umbridge, the pinkest of the pink, the delicate...flower. The squirrel drew little hearts around her name. You're a sad, strange little rodent. Anyway, yeah, her office hours. Sam tried to get her to reverse what she did to Dean, whatever that is, but she refused and forced him to do something with a quill of doom that's probably not a good thing. I mean, for starters, who uses quills anymore? Why not a keyboard of doom? A pacer of doom? A sharpie of doom? Scar showed up for a quiet, peaceful chat yeeeah sure and a yipping poodle did the same, but got intimidated. Are we sure that's not a repeated one? They're easily mistaken. The Sheriff stopped by to question then arrest her, then he blew up a chair, she confused him and made him leave. Law enforcement at its best! Aaaand Steve came by to make sure she wasn't messing with more students but doesn't hit her because she's a woman. I suppose that's true by some definition of the word.

Dorms: Freaks and Geeks All in the One Convenient Location

Savannah got ready for the ball like the pretty, pretty princess she is. Gwynn was notetaking even though it's Summer but got a visit from Tori and Annie sat silently in her room. Doing nothing. Suspicious if you ask me. She's up to something. They always are. Hermione got a special delivery and Turtle packed for a trip and got a visit from Jeff, his flowers and his lips. Carol is back in town and got jump-sick but his old pal Gavin came to look after him. D'aww. Must have worked, because he was well enough later to call Molly. Aaaand Jack called Cedric for some good old-fashioned alone time.

Up in the Fourth Floor Common Room, Michelangelo made his own pillow fort cabin to protest Headmaster Umbridge's decree. Bridge joined the rebellion and brought a toaster, Charlie added an ice chest full of soda although I don't know where the heck she'd get that on short notice. She and Michelangelo decided the cabin needed a flag and Charlie patted a bunny.

Drop down a floor and scoot ahead a few hours and you've got Tori in the Third Floor Common Room with popcorn and a bad movie. Kabuto decided there wasn't enough popcorn and brought his own.


Town: A Little Dinner, A Little Dancing

Charlie took over the beach to get in some practice and was joined by Johnny to talk practice, flying and dates. Gabriel opened up the church and got a visit from Evie. John Conner did Tai Chi in the park, while River worked at the Arms where John Connor tried not to disturb her pens, Liz opened the post office and Phale opened Book Haven where he got an unexpected visit from Annie and her relationship woes.

Christian was all about the air conditioning at the clinic during the day and Katara got a visit from Haku during the night shift.

No news here about the usually swinging Caritas, but Lucy's was open for business thanks to Setsuna. Mary checked her messages and got ready for the ball and Scar relaxed at home with the power of television and met Steve even though they've been living together for a long time. You know, those two would make a great household sitcom duo.

Aaaand the local law enforcement decided to give back to the community instead of just harassing them by holding a Policeman's Ball. Lets do the Entertainment Tonight thing and talk about the red carpet arrivals. Stanley met Mary there, Seely and Visa came together, Sheriff Mustang wasn't confused anymore and showed up to talk to Dale and Aly showed up all dressed up for the party and was Miss Popularity. River wanted to dance with her, Sheriff Mustang complimented her, Josh showed his own rebellion to the 'no PDA' educational decree, Arashi told her he wasn't happy about the dancing part of the dance and my nephew Ares came to banter. As always. Sideburns. Zuko and Mel made a cute couple and River came to say hello. Jim couldn't resist bringing an inflatable date. Principal Zoe Washburn and the living creature that came out of her gut (aka Grace) made their post-natal debut. Josh, Aly and Sheriff Mustang came to fawn over the tiny mortal and Principal Zoe Washburn met Dale for the first time.

Millie couldn't miss the party and was greeted by Stanley. Willow and Peter Pevensie couldn't miss out either. Naomi and John Connor joked about class, Deadpool wanted to spike the punch, Arashi was a wet blanket and Aly told Xander he cleaned up nicely. Ye Olde Snark Corner got some attention from Ares and Joanna. Aly and Deadpool talked lurking, jail time and weasels while Mel hid from Deadpool behind the Mushroom Empanadas. Demon-infested Mushroom Empanadas.

There was punch and food to go with it. Dale and River talked all about River's work and home, Joanna met Dale and thought he was a waiter then told him about her mini golf course. Mary and Dale talked about the Arms Hotel, The Mountie and Aly talked about school business, Joanna glared at River and John Connor waved to Principal Zoe Washburn and the tiny beast she's responsible for. As opposed to the other tiny beasts she's responsible for during the regular school year.

Dancing was the name of the game with the fast and slow variety. Aly and Deadpool shaked...their...groove...thangs. Thank you, squirrel, I now have a mental image that's never, ever going to go away. Aly and River danced and so did Stanley and Mary. Over in the slow dances, Zuko and Mel danced, so did Aly and Sheriff Mustang, but Aly's affections were elsewhere with Josh and the blatant PDA they made everyone endure. Willow was happy dancing exclusively with Peter Pevensie and Xander and Bridge decided the 8 inch rule is stupid and danced anyway. And last, but not least, there was a dark corner for doing things you can't say on television, radio or within range of Headmaster Dolores Umbridge unless you want to die a pink and floral death.

That's it. You've been a great audience, tip your waitress, try the veal, do not pass GO, offer void in Massachusetts. This is Hades signing off, don't do anything that's going to ruin my weekend. And we're out."
