Fandom Radio: Tuesday, May 6th

Reno: Yo, Fandom! Reno here on a mighty fine evening off the coast of Greece, which, I learned, ain't what you end up with after fryin' bacon. Who knew?

Jenny: Your knowledge of the history of the planet on which you are currently resident is positively tragic, I have to tell you this. Also, they're spelled completely differently.

Reno: There's a lot to this planet! More freakin' countries than we got on Gaia, anyhow. I ain't gonna memorize it all just for the sake of goin' to high school... Wait, they're spelled different? ... Whoa. I never would'a thought, yo.

Jenny: Note...to...self: Add western civ textbook to Reno's 'Welcome to Earth, Third Rock From the Sun' care package.

Reno: This is the third planet from the sun? Earth is freakin' weird, yo. We got notes?

Jenny: It's not weird at all. Believe me. I've seen weirder. And yes, as a matter of fact, we do have notes!

Reno: Oh, good. I'll start readin' 'em, then. Weird Earth notes written by weird Earth squirrels, who are drinkin' my quality Earth rum while we speak, yo.

School. .... Pffft. Hahaha!

Reno:
You want school notes, then go observe some weird Earth fish or somethin'. School's out, yo. But there was Cheer practice, which is important and I totally freakin' missed it. Dammit. Savannah did the setup thing, Robin was there lookin' all subdued or whatever, Lana did some stretches, and Chad made some excuse about a leavin' boyfriend, and then he ditched. So, really, I didn't miss the flippy skirts or whatever? I can live with that, then. Oh, and Mike was weird in his office with a karaoke machine. I don't know why he was holdin' office hours over the break, or why it involved karaoke. I'm not gonna ask. This is me, gettin' on with my weird Earth day.

Dorms, Slightly Less Amusing

Jenny:
On the fourth floor, in the common room, Dean was watching American Idol when Peter came in and tried to convince him to watch Deadliest Catch instead. Isabel wanted to know if American Idol leads to actual fame and fortune--the answer is no--and then invited Dean and Meg clubbing. Seals? Oh, and Sam threatened to disown Dean over fashion shows or something. I don't even know, nor do I really care. This charming squirrel brought me a bottle of retsina all for my own.

*glug glug*

Reno: I had to bring booze for the squirrels. Why are they bringing you gifts?

Jenny: 'Coz I'm pretty?

Reno: It's because you're blond, ain't it?

Jenny: Did you know that in ancient Greece, red hair was a sign you were a vampire?

Reno: I only bite when I'm asked, yo. In other dorm news, Sokka got his emo on while tellin' Katara about Mel leavin'. Adah and Lee had a talk about her graduatin', summer classes, and Adah's arrivin' on other planets, yo. Like weird Earth? I can relate, Adah. AJ paid Annette a visit to talk to her about backpackin' it, Hoshi gave Robin the green fuzzy felt thing a call to say good-bye, because he's leavin' for the summer, and then Anemononmen- Amenim- Anemia- A-NEM-OH-NEE and G'Karrrr found out that the frog was on his way out, too, yo. Dick whose name amuses me got a bad call from home, and had to take off.

Jenny: Did you say the frog child is leaving? Oh, happy day. I mean--I mean we'll miss you, strange frog child. Don't forget to write. Is Sokka leaving too?--right, on with the news. Hee, Dick. Dawn was emo until distracted by Luke, then she and Sam fixed a crossbow, and then she was emo some more. With Sokka. I'd be emo too if I traded in Sam for Sokka. And then Demyx got a visit from Sora. And that's all for dorms. I assume you are all enjoying the adjacent island paradise.

Town, Amusing, But Not Greece

Reno:
At my favorite bar on this crazy planet we call Earth, Donut was wearin' a skirt over his armor, earning the right to be ignored by Tino all evening. Billy winced at the bar. Maybe it kicked him. I dunno. Good show, bar. And then Mohinder stopped into Caritas for a beer. I hate to be the one to divert attention from my favorite local business, but why the hell are you guys drinkin' here on the island when we got freakin' Greece on the other side of the causeway? What gives? You're all from Earth, I bet. Weirdos. Today in the clinic, there was a Wyatt, and a Christian, and a bruised and bandaged Billy. .... See. I knew the bar kicked him, yo. Elsewhere, Roy got an upsetting letter, and told River, Lee, and Aly about it. And then Mary played with her puppy and did dirty things with her fiance. Not at the same time.

Jenny: Jack made postcards at Photo Hut--made postcards? There's a bloody island paradise three feet away, go buy some! Lana was happy at the Book Haven, there were only kittens at Groovy Tunes--aren't they cats yet?--Jeff was depressed at the hotel, likely by the sudden drop-off in business, and Adam was early to the golf course. GMB Goomb was worried about being the banana guy, Liz was at the post office and probably thrilled to not be the banana guy, and G'Kar was studying some brochures at Turtle and Canary. I bet they were about how not to be a banana guy. At Cafe Fina, Fai had tea and a notebook, and oh! Stuff actually happened at the gym! Yes! Deadpool was there, and then he and Ino had a fight, and then River impressed Deadpool. Fascinating!

Reno: It ain't easy to impress Deadpool, yo. For a guy who's totally freakin' batshit, he's got standards. And a love for Tetris that I ain't gonna ever understand. At the Boards, Geoffrey was holdin' rehearsals. This involved showin' up, tryin' out, and gettin' cast. Which I thought the auditions were for, but I don't know jack about the theater, so I'm shuttin' up about that now. Geoffrey quizzed Amber about the femmes in the show, and gave her the role of some chick called Tamora. I'm smellin' sexism here, because Michael was cast as Aaron without the pop quiz, yoto. After the casting and redundant tryouts, they went through act one, got notes, and then mingled. Continuing on the talk of the arts on the island today, the Gallery was closed, but Charlotte was there, settin' up a new exhibition. Teddy was there to tell her that he was takin' off for part of the summer, and Dale visited with coffee and flirting, yo. And then, in an effort to keep up with the fact that we landed in a giant tourist attraction, Michael had Greek specials at Luke's. I, on the other hand, ate real Greek food the other day. From Greece. I'm still undecided on the whole wrappin' things in grape leaves, though. What's up with that?

Jenny: Really? I love dolmades. God I could go for some Greek right now. Or...a Greek. How convenient we are parked next to Greece.

Reno: An exotic one-nighter is just a short jaunt across the causeway, yo. You wouldn't want to miss that, not when it might come with ouzo and... fried... goat cheese. Stuff.

Jenny: And gyros. You're making me hungry.

Reno: How convenient that Greece- not to be confused with grease- has food. I approve of the weird Earth edibles, yo.

Jenny: I should hope you do, otherwise you'd be bollocksed an' starved to death, wouldn't you? Do--do you even have bacon where you come from?

Reno: Yes. I learned yesterday that it comes from pigs. I'm never eatin' bacon again.

Jenny: But they're delicious.

Reno: They're hideous. I'm only eatin' cute things from now on, dammit. Like... I dunno. Baby chickens. And... lambs. And- ah, screw it. I'm gonna have to celebrate bein' in Greece with a huge freakin' helping of bacon, yo. It's the only way to do it. Say good night, Jenny, so I can go and eat some delicious pig death.

Jenny: You're so weird. Good night, everyone. Eat a pig for us.
