Fandom Radio, Friday, April 18th, 2008
Xander: Hey, Fandom, it's the Xander and Willow show, coming to you live from a secret undisclosed location that you've never heard of before that just happens to have lots of squirrels and rum in it.
Willow: Disneyworld?
Xander: Exactly. Could you stop spinning the teacup please? I had too many cupcakes; Xander go blerky.
Willow: It's just wrong for teacups to have badness associated with them. It throws off the balance of things.
Xander: Could be worse; could be stuck on the Small World ride and then we have Xander go berserky.
Willow: And the reason you hate me enough to put that song into my head is...?
Xander: Misery loves company?
Willow: Okay, fair point. Though hopefully you'll understand as I now change the topic towards news.
School! Where it is almost the joy of finals week!
Karal opened up the library. Why do we ever close those? Books should be loved at all times if you ask me. Luke stopped by and was happy to see that Karal was back. The squirrels do not know if Luke attempted to express this joy in the form of lunch-giving, or if Liir then showed up to challenge Luke to a duel.
Art History focused on the art of the future by doing art of their own. Namine was there to TA in the present.
The Art of Cool had lessons in using alcohol to one's advantage. It comes in handy for first aid purposes, for instance. First up was getting a drink - oh, that kind of alcohol - and hit on Faith. It's funny that they're using alcohol for that when I believe successfully hitting on Faith requires no more than having body parts to hit with. Um, no offense Xander.
Xander: ...Right, who could be offended by that?
Willow: In what may have perhaps been a more complicated task, there were other options of people to hit on and going with statistical odds I would say all of them would leave you less likely to require a dose of antibiotics the way that Faith would. For all of one's TA needs, there was Ron.
My Country had Kerrigan for a sub. She talked about building her own country and then gave them all time to study. The noble nation of Gremlinistan approves of her dedication to academia.
Inappropriately named club plays hangman. Hopefully not literally. Adah is distracted but still playful. Karal and Inara are there and there's always room for the librarian.
There's one last faculty meeting in the teacher's lounge. There is coffee and pie, and now I am wondering if anyone has ever invented coffee pie because wow would they make a fortune. Ghanima wonders if Bond recognizes her as a woman and I can't help but feel that those sorts of questions should be handled by medical professionals. And prom chaperones are sought. In case any wonderful and accented boyfriends are wondering, my answer is yes.
Xander: In case any wonderful and non-accented boyfriends are wondering, antibiotics were never an issue. Well, not for that. I've had more shots than Tino on a long night at Caritas, but hey, year and a half in Africa.
Willow: The office is open and has crocodiles. Though wee ones. Mike, Fraser, Biff, and Professor Inappropriately Nicknamed all have office hours of their own, though without crocodiles. So far as I know.
Xander: Doesn't it seem like Professor Inappropriately Nicknamed should be in charge of the Inappropriately Named Club?
Willow: It really does.
Xander: Oh well. Somebody else got there first; it happens. Maybe he could be in charge of some new club for the summer. The Shirtless Club or something.
Willow: That club would probably get a lot of members.
Xander: They could do a calendar as a fund-raising activity. And now I'm gonna talk about dorms because even though Bridge went to bed with a headache, there's that whole podcast thing so I should shut up about shirtless people.
Dorms, or as the Inappropriate Nickname Club has renamed them, The Box Of Slutty Thin Mints
...No, seriously, John was a slutty Thin Mint today. I can't make this {static} up. Do I want to know what the kids these days mean by Slutty Thin Mint?
Yes. And dammit, these notes don't say. They do say Non-Accented-And-Not-Dating-Zero-Peter thinks Brooke is awesome, Isabel invited Wyatt to go on a picnic, Demyx was dancing around his room, Hoshi was winning at failing to study, Johnny was throwing fireballs around his room and Lee was cooking for Adah, which may or may not also have involved fireballs. There's also something about Karal and Altra doing something in the hayloft that the squirrels couldn't quite make out, and I'm gonna assume that was talking, and if you love me, you will never correct that assumption.
Willow: I still say Brooke could do way better.
Xander: Lucas met Lana in her room before going off on a trip to New York, and so did Anders, who looks like somebody Lucas knows. That happens a lot around here, dude; you'll get used to it. Chris and Wyatt had a serious talk about getting stuck with somebody else's memories. That actually happens a lot around here too. Willow and I find "We were reading all weekend" works really well.
For her. I have to add 'comics' if I want people to pretend to believe me.
Willow: In the bestest common room ever there was or shall be finds the slutty little thin mint known as John doing what slutty thin mints do. Which is apparently Cookie Crisps. I'm not exactly sure how that works, and I'd like to make it very clear that I never, ever want to know. Gavin comes in and there's confusion and hijinks and probably more things that I just do not want to know about. Ditto for when Jaina comes in and realizes that she'd better take cookie John somewhere he won't get crumbs in wrong places and seriously, never, ever, ever tell me.
Xander: I hate to tell you I have to tell you, but --
Cookie John went to town today
Anakin hung out at J,GoB to get birthday presents -- damn, I forgot this was the Month of Crazy-Ass Nonstop Parties -- and cookie John came to see him. Possibly as a present, since he seemed to get a real kick out of it. Or possibly the slutty cookie just came with Jaina, who introduced him to Luke and then refused to let him have coffee, which is a really evil punishment for sluttiness. I both fear and approve.
In non cookie-related news, Eve, Rikku, River, Dr. Troy, Gabriel, Sky and Fai -- hey, that rhymes. Possibly. -- had slow days at the York Gallery, the Arms comma Wellspring, the Arms No Comma Hotel, the clinic, the church, the banana stand, and Cafe Fina. Jen opened Pizza Planet, and Bridge came in to be totally unsurprised that she was making a toothpick sculpture. And ask if he could make his own.
Willow: How do you make a sculpture of a toothpick? Wouldn't making an actual toothpick be easier? Or was she using something other than wood?
Xander: There are some things Man Was Not Meant To Know, Will. As for things man was meant to know because they're in the notes, and I assume woman too, Chad opened Groovy Tunes and got pizza from not the best because see previous news item but one of the better boyfriends ever. Lacey opened Luke's Diner and got visits from AJ who told her to embrace the weirdness - seriously, it helps -- and Dale, who was curious about the specials.
I'm gonna guess Robin was curious about the specials too, but I wasn't there, I was at Mel's party, and besides, good soundproofing. Really, really good soundproofing.
Tino was hopped up on maple syrup and passing out American flags.... and again with the not wanting to know... at Caritas. Charlotte came in to escape her apartment -- is it that bad? I could have a look around my place and see if there's any more hidden floors I missed. Annette was there for a drink, and so were Mary and her yay I was hoping you crazy kids would stay together despite the fact that I've never met your fiance fiance.
And then there was Mel's birthday party. Mel's surprise birthday party. In the graveyard. Just in case nobody who showed up brought any arms in boxes to the present table before eating and getting their mingle on.
Willow: I would like to say happy birthday to Mel who is a very awesome friend and Slayer, and who will hopefully not be attacked by horrible monsters at her party, be they of the boxed-arm variety or not.
Xander: There weren't any horrible monsters by the time I left. Just cupcakes and waving hyper Sokkas -- I'm thinking the cupcakes -- and not-waving not so hyper Zukos and people trying to guess how well the surprise would go off, which was, uh - let's just say there's a reason the Sunnydale refugees know better.
Willow: Oh dear. Well as a birthday present - and since by definition it's not like Mel planned this - I will avoid any comments of a "could've told you so" variety and instead repeat the happy birthday wishes for Mel, and the overall good night wishes for Fandom.
Xander: Same here!
Willow: Disneyworld?
Xander: Exactly. Could you stop spinning the teacup please? I had too many cupcakes; Xander go blerky.
