Fandom Radio, June 18

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

Lacey: Good evening, Fandom! This is Lacey Burrows, and welcome to Thursday night on WTFH radio!

Katchoo: Wow, she didn't even try this week. Let's see if she remembers next week, huh?

Lacey: I have to keep you on your toes.

Katchoo: You're doing it wrong.

Lacey: Oooh, that's like one of those silly cat pictures with captions on the Internet, right? Can we do radio like that t --

Katchoo: FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD, LACEY, IT'S RADIO, YOU --

*conveniently timed thunk-CRASH of a microphone falling over and hitting the floor*



Classes (No Can Has Cheezburger)

Lacey: Stop knocking things over . . . with my elbow. Anyway, Culture Shock had an easy -- unless you count the mosquitoes -- if rainy day out by the campfire, acting out examples of Fandom weirdness under the watchful eye of Professor Algren and Peyton the TA. On the other end of the scale, Superhero Fashion got to suit up and run an obstacle course. Is that like the extreme catwalk? Fiona asked Dinah if Edna was insane --

Katchoo: By this point in the term I'm gonna say that's a given. Geez, Francine was holding out the details of this obstacle course on me. Swamps, slimy tires, crawling under barbed wire and dodging pudding, climbing buildings, dodging missiles, and giant spiderwebs? Yeah, that'd make anyone collapse from exhaustion. Unless they had breath left to talk. Holy crap, Francie, how were you upright after all that, much less made it into town?

Lacey: Not smoking like a chimney would be a good start. Are you the one responsible for all the empty cigarette packs in the office?

Katchoo: Nah, I didn't have time to go through that many before the Practical Etiquette lecture, dress-up, and dinner party. The antechamber coulda had champagne instead of ginger ale, though. Triela was in a tux too, proving I'm not that weird and getting compliments from Karla on it. Yakko got thanks from Miss Bennet for being considerate enough to play the flute. Oasis. On the flute. Yeah, just think about that one for a while. Then there was heading into dinner, complete with assigned seating and conversations like Karla and Rose talking about Karla's world, Agnes and Joan being sickeningly polite, and Rose and Edmund being snarky. Balancing out the politeness. Appreciated. But the party had to end sometime, and Karla thanked Miss Bennet for it. Some people call that courtesy. Some people lean more toward 'sucking up.'

Lacey: No, that's courtesy.

Katchoo: Statements like that are why you have me on this show.

Lacey: Whatever that means. Magick on the Fly got a lecture about knot magic and got to tie things up --

Katchoo: *snickers*

Lacey: -- while Dojima and Savannah TA'ed. Storytelling had to gather around a spooky campfire in the woods and tell ghost stories. Ever been on a camping trip in Saskatchewan with Davis Quinton? I hear that's really terrifying.

Katchoo: Are there even trees in Saskatchewan?

Lacey: That joke would have been a lot funnier if anyone knew Davis.

Katchoo: Aeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegh!

Lacey: Quit it with the buzzer noise!

Katchoo: Would you prefer a gong? Claudia was reading OK Magazine in the library today, when she wasn't complimenting Griff's accent or discussing cabin-breaking and detentions involving horse poop with Rose. There's some conversational whiplash for you.

Lacey: Ow. Constable Fraser, Max, and Loki all had quiet office ours, but Veronica got a visit from Tyler in which there was, and I'm interpreting from the squirrel pantomime going on in front of me, 'mutual distrust and snark.' Wow, you guys are good. Have you ever considered starting up a squirrel pantomime theater troupe? Vice Principal Deadpool got a visit from the mayor with coffee and . . . things that I shouldn't be reporting on happening on school grounds.

Katchoo: Aw, for crying out loud, you prude. Anakin's office hours were a totally different kind of busy with Ben who's actually kind of creepy, Jaina who isn't, and Rachel who has a weird kink about doors all dropping in.

Lacey: Aww, I used to have such a crush on Jim Morrison.

Katchoo: Not that -- never mind.

Dorms (Where Ceiling Cat Is Not Watching You)

Lacey: Oh, that kind of -- moving on. Claire was up on the roof to stormwatch this afternoon, and Triela came up to go rappelling off the roof but ended up talking to Claire about abilities and cybernetics instead. Aww, now I miss that show with the slow-motion running and the extreme closeups of someone's ear. Prince Edward was not rappelling off the roof, but he was hanging out -- literally and upside down -- outside the third floor common room window. With bats in his hair. Oh, gosh.

Katchoo: *completely deadpan* And now Lacey may never sleep tonight. I hope you're happy for giving her nightmares, Edward. Really. My heart's bleedin' here. Penelope and her hangover got an assist from Serena, and in other forms of rude awakening Alice woke up with Leto. Who's a desert mouse. Hey, that's a new one. And Priestly's a chameleon. Hope Hyper Bouncy Girl hasn't been feeding him sugar since she was there for that. Francine . . . was sleeping this morning. This is news? How is this news? People do it every day!

Lacey: Actually most of them do it at night.

Katchoo: WHATEVER. Griff was hunting for his jacket in his room and got a visit from Fiona with a surprise instead. Tiny Creepy Kid was actually inside her room, and Karla came by to -- who spilled rum on this?

Lacey: That was you.

Katchoo: Right. Anyway, Ben stopped in too and I bet they were nauseating. At least until he went to talk to Jaina, by which I mean get in a yelling match with, but it's fine since John was there to cheer her up afterward. Or so the squirrels are trying to say, and god, watching a squirrel make big puppy eyes is terrifying.

Lacey: Not quite as terrifying as that literal "Total Eclipse of the Heart" video though.

Katchoo: . . . furry glee club of the rodent damned?

Lacey: Now I wish I hadn't said that.

Town (Made You a Cookie But It Ated It)

Katchoo: Millie was enjoying the new releases at Book Haven --

*SPAZTASTIC CHITTERING*

Katchoo: . . . I don't know what's wrong with you three. Breathe or something, geez. Crazy frikkin' squirrels. Peyton spent a lot of time on the phone at Groovy Tunes, Helen was in her usual horse-induced good mood at The Gig, Priestly ignored everyone at Luke's --

Lacey: When it comes to the staff I don't blame him.

Katchoo: You say these things on air. No wonder there's no Employer of the Year plaque in there.

Lacey: Maybe it's just out for cleaning. Jennifer was working at Cabot and Associates, Maron was in a good mood at Turtle and Canary, Dinah at Covent Garden Flowers and Jon O'Neill at Guilty as Charged were blasting music, so you can't really blame Karla for thinking the extreme sports store sold music. At the Freelance Police HQ Murdock talked to the fish about murderous flowers and maybe it's a sign I've been in Fandom too long that I don't even blink at that sentence any more. Eve was playing Oregon Trail at York Gallery.

Katchoo: That game'd have been so much better if it let you eat people.

Lacey: Ew. At Stark Industries, a tanned Lindsay got a visit from Tyler, and my cohost here was painting at Strokes of Genius when she wasn't helping Fiona with a purchase -- wait, you were helpful? I refuse to believe that -- or having bagels with Francine.

Katchoo: Me? Helpful? You been hitting that rum tonight, Lacey? Atlas Gym got a Skywalker lightsaber throwdown between Ben and Anakin. Ben had a cheering section made up of Karla and Ender, who agreed it'd be fun to watch him get his butt kicked. Did I miss the definition of cheering section?

Lacey: Possibly? It could've washed away in the sewage and water main break at the Boards, but you know how they say the play must go on? Rehearsal went on, complete with coffee and tea presumably not made with water from the premises. Gabrielle and Dinah had a little coffee with their sugar --

Katchoo: Oh, GOD.

Lacey: -- and Priestly and Dinah thought he might've been better off staying at work. Jack Priest was coping just fine since he had tea, and talked to Serena about how janitorial work wasn't an advertised part of the acting gig. Karla whipped up a magical bench to help Kenshin keep out of the muck, and despite all the grossness and cleanup and Tony Foster not being very happy but fielding questions from Jack about whether he gets paid extra for sewage cleanup, rehearsal did take place.

Katchoo: Rehearsal. At rehearsal. Who knew? It was quiet in the clinic. We assume this means nobody, I dunno, lost any limbs or anything.

Lacey: Yeah, that's because you're here and not at Caritas where Chuck Bass was. Johnny Storm met up with K-Mart for drinks and told her he's heading out of town for a week, Chuck told Mina he was behind the bar because he didn't trust Tino not to poison him -- see, told you -- and Effy took Chuck's advice to get a drink with the cherry so he could tie the stem with his tongue.

*chittering*

Katchoo: Rum delivery, right on cue. *slosh*

Lacey: Aaaaaaand Sam Winchester showed up at the bar after getting a message from Chuck.

Katchoo: And that squirrel is swooning.

*long pause*

Lacey: I'm disturbed. Are you disturbed?

Katchoo: . . . yep.

Lacey: AndonthatnotethisisLaceyBurrowsonbehalfofbothofusthankyouFandomandgoodnight!
