Fandom Radio: Friday, April 4th, 2008
Willow: Hi Fandom! It's Willow Rosenberg, reporting to you while no longer alone save for the squirrels. Welcome back, Xander! Yay!
Xander: Glad to be here. And not just 'cause it means I'm not home with a splitting headache where I used to have an eye.
Willow: Did you try ice?
Xander: With a little scotch to make sure it didn't melt too fast.
Willow: Wouldn't the scotch drip out and get everywhere? I mean sure, so would the ice eventually, but scotch can stain.
Xander: ...My couch is scotch-guarded.
Willow: Wow. That was remarkably efficient of you.
Xander: You've met my family, right?
Willow: When you're right you're right. Shall we news?
Xander: We shall news! While the squirrels rum.
Willow: Hopefully the furniture here is rum-guarded. Though I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.
School! Where things are probably gremlin-spit guarded.
Today it was announced that Amber Atkins, Jaina Solo, Jenny Sparks, Romeo Montague, Ronan Nolan, and Sokka all have Detention, for various forms of naughtiness. I would like to pause here to thank the squirrels for taking the time to write that list in alphabetical order by first name. Thanks guys!
Xander: They probably didn't know where to put Sokka if they did it by last name.
Willow: Speaking of things that are in appropriate order, Karal opens the Library. Liir comes by with food and the squirrels politely suggest that perhaps Liir is in a rut. Mix it up a little! Next week? Brunch. It's all about the small steps. Later on Cable came by to ask if Altra was back yet and Karal reminded him that without opposable thumbs it's not exactly like Altra can write or call to provide an ETA. Or words to that effect.
Art History makes the second half of its name ironic by talking about modern, abstract art. The class talks about their likes and dislikes of the art with the quirky viewpoint. I like when they're all colorful and have fun names. Calling paint splotches "Untitled" is just cheating. Namine was there for TAness.
The Art of Cool handed out awards that the squirrels would like me to call the Coolies and they wonder if one of the awards involved beavers. I didn't know Tink and Barney had even met the Beaver family.
Xander: No-touchy stick, no-touchy stick, no-touchy stick.
Willow: There was various forms of people being surprised at the prospect of winning a Coolie. There were acceptance speeches as well as those who tried to claim it was an honor just to be nominated. Ron was possibly amongst the latter.
My Country talked about war and raising an army. The noble nation of Gremlinistan would like to ask the class not to actually declare war on each other as that isn't educational so much as it is depressing.
The office has hours, as do Mr. Dean and Sam's Daddy as well as Professor Unrepeatable Nickname.
The bestest British-accented boyfriend in all the land led Student Council.
Xander: Your specification is appreciated.
Willow: You're welcome. They discuss prom themes and Zack votes for skeletons. I can't imagine how a theme like that could possibly go wrong in Fandom. Except in every way. Though there is something to be said for planning ahead so you're at least dealing with the weirdness you know. Turtle partakes of pizza which we can all agree is yummy and wonderful.
There is a meeting of Inappropriately Named Club. They play a game about what they're taking to the fair and the squirrels say they have no idea if that's dirty or not. The convenors do their convenoring. John of the Sheppard variety apologized to Karal for his childish behavior, by which we mean when he was literally a child. Adah demands that Karal pay fake child support if he's going to ditch their fake child, and I must say I take her side in this discussion. Bob is there and may or may not have considered possibly cracking a smile.
Xander: Well, you don't want to rush into these things.
Willow: There should at least be stretching.
Xander: Warm-ups are good. If I had a nickel for every beginner I've seen overdo it on the first day and end up with a sprained mouth, I'd have... well, with inflation I'd have three cents, but the point is now it's time for
News from the dorms.
That's what we call a segue. I'm a professional, kids; don't try that at home. To lead off with the sad story, Bridge is sick, and my apartment is cold and lonely. Except for the climate-control and the frog and the holographic plant, but anyway I miss him.
Willow: Feel better, Bridge!
Xander: In happier news, Brooke pimped-out Lucas' room with birthday decorations - neon lights under the bed? Awesome choice. Katara was bored until Zuko came by to tease her, and Wyatt chilled in his room, then was weird at Isabel a little later. Summer got in on the chilly action too, with some time out to call Chris, who also ran into Savannah. Except it says here he didn't have any idea who she was, so maybe he was just guessing it was Savannah? Could've been that Eve girl; she looks an awful lot like her.
Not everybody stuck around their rooms, though - Jack Burton left his to wander, Annette packed to go home for the weekend, and Romeo headed down to the beach to be cute with Dojima. That may or may not be a euphemism.
Willow: Ino starts digging to plant seeds for a garden. Good luck with that! Say nice words to encourage it. Jack passes by and exchanges waves with Ino, so there's some closure on the earlier aforementioned Jack note. Hoshi and Porthos pass by and chat. Porthos hopefully only interacts with the garden-to-be in a respectful manner. Billy - hi Billy! - stops by and jokes with Ino about pirates and ninjas and lawyers. As one does.
Town, where, coincidentally, most of the pirates and ninjas and lawyers live
Xander: In town today, Kerrigan was in a good mood at the Perk, so somebody somewhere should be scared. Harriet came by for tea, and they talked about getting back at Barney. Dude, I'm pretty sure you're the somebody. Just saying.
Sky, River and her towel animals, Giles, Liir and Yitzhak opened the Banana Stand, the Arms, the Magic Box, the Book Haven, and Luke's Diner. Fai sort of opened Cafe Fina, which is to say he at least put the open sign up before he fell asleep on one of the tables.
Willow: Is a place really open if there is only a sign to indicate it? It's kind of like a Zen koan, only without trees trying to crush poor little squirrels without any witnesses.
Xander: Rikku was scattered at Wellspring Arms, and you have no idea how nice it is to live in a town where I'm pretty sure I don't have to take that literally. Unless you're Willow. Or Dawn. Or Giles or Andrew or Faith or Mel but ANYWAY. Cable checked up on Rikku and she asked him about how you deal with people's pasts. Mel stopped by with chimichangas because she's the Best Slayer Ever, and they talked about last weekend. Reno was lurky at Rikku until she invited him in, and again with the glad to be living in a town where that doesn't end in the bad kind of scattered. Usually.
Willow: I think Reno should also be commended for not being lurky around Mel, as that does tend to end in the literal kind of scattered. For those who aren't Mel, at least.
Xander: Chad opened Groovy Tunes, and figured out that Professor Tinkerbell needed some music for her iPod. ...How the hell does she carry an iPod? Where the hell does she--
*squeakity*
I have no idea what our little squirrel-bud just squeaked, but since he's bouncing up and down and pointing to the no-touchy stick, I'm just gonna assume it's safer not to finish that question, so let's move on to Sheriff Roy, who was putting our tax dollars to work by playing video games in the Police Station until Aly stopped by to tell him she has a surprise for him. Hopefully the good kind.
Charlotte was getting things ready at the Gallery Formerly Known As The House Where The Black-And-White ...uh....Businesswomen Lived -- seriously, the place looks great and I'm not just saying that because I did the remodeling -- and Eve came in to ask about a job. I'm hoping she knows about the change of ownership or that could've been a confusing conversation.
Annette hung out and fed the ducks in the park; Jack wandered past on his world tour, but walked the other way the minute he saw her. Unlike Not-Canadian-Robin who was swimming in the pond and came out to talk to her about going home. Him, not her, except she is too, so I guess they had plenty to chat about.
In the category of "Places more interesting than my home tonight," Biff decided he was gonna show the Naked Chef how it's really supposed to be done. Which I'd be a little worried about except he cooks like my mom, so--
*pause*
NOT NAKED OH GOD STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT MAKE IT GET OUT OF MY HEAD. I meant by ordering Chinese!
Willow: Why? Why would you go there?? Now I have it in my head and don't I already have enough need for therapy??
Xander: We're from Sunnydale; there is no such thing as too much therapy. Barney asked who he should invite to the orgy, Vala took pictures, and Harriet asked Biff why -- I'm guessing about the nudity, not the picture-taking 'cause that seems pretty obvious to me -- and she also asked the dude who should be scared if he enjoyed the speech she didn't give this morning when she didn't accept her Coolie Award.
In news of the probably also nude -- uh, just guessing, the soundproofing between my floor and your ceiling is pretty good, guys. I sure as hell hope. -- Constable Fraser decorated the apartment for Canadian-Robin's birthday and surprised her with a puppy. Brave move, dude - I mean what if she's not a dog person?
Meanwhile Mary ... that word is either 'squee' or 'cheese' - these notes? Apparently not rum-guarded. Mary cheesed over her ... okay, let's go with squeed. Mary squeed over her early wedding presents and asked George Michael to help her open them. Likelihood of nudity at some point during the proceedings: they're engaged; what do you think?
Willow: Does Bridge know you're this obsessed about naked people?
Xander: I'm only obsessed with one naked people. Who isn't naked. Because he's sick. So all I can do is talk about ... I do kinda seem to be saying naked a lot, huh. Well, this should break the streak. See the ten foot no-touchy stick? *thump-thump* Um, hear the ten foot no-touchy stick? The word 'naked' is at one end of it and 'Deadpool and Cable's pizza night' is at the other.
Also lacking lack of clothes was Caritas, which since it didn't lack a drunk Tino is probably a happy thing. Also not missing was a smirky Jolee, an impressed Jaina and a tipsy Evey being British at Karal. Plus beer, Johnny Storm, tequila, and Savannah. In some combination or another; use your imagination.
Willow: I think my imagination died at the comment about your mom. Sorry.
Xander: DON'T DO THAT YOU BROUGHT IT BACK. AGGH.
In the clinic, Dr. Troy read a magazine during the day and Katara doodled at night, and I'm sure there was no naked in either of those situations. Yes, I'm lying. About one of them. Katara, I'm shocked. I'm sure Sokka was too.
Willow: And very possibly the squirrels.
Xander: I don't think there's much that shocks the squirrels around here.
Willow: They're rather fortunate that way. Is that all the news we have?
Xander: I think so. Is that all the rum we have? There's some pictures I need to bleach out of my brain.
Willow: If it is, I'm sure we can find more. In the meanwhile, good night Fandom!
Xander: Glad to be here. And not just 'cause it means I'm not home with a splitting headache where I used to have an eye.
