Fandom Radio, July 16

Lacey: Hello, people!

Katchoo: Evening, Fandom.

Lacey: . . . hey, we're singing.

Katchoo: Frikkin' random.

Lacey: . . . and now we're not. Hi, everyone. This is Lacey Burrows, and I'm gonna be a pirate on the river Saskatchewan! *cough* No more singing? Aw. That was fun.

Katchoo: You're more delusional than normal.



Classes

Lacey: So coming up first today was Fashion! --

Katchoo: There was costume-fitting and designing and Edna's insanity. You know what? I don't wanna talk about it, how you -- ARGH.

Lacey: I'm not sure there are words for Surviving Deep Space today, where Rimmer was randomly female people had to boggle over a lecture about sex in space. Basic Swordplay covered footwork, nonmusically, and in Tactics, Kirk, Minsc, and McCoy were singing about being on a boat.

Katchoo: Well, Lukey's boat is painted green, ha, me boys. Lukey's boat is painted green, it's the prettiest boat you've ever seen, ah-ha!

Lacey: Okay then.

Katchoo: I hate everything. People stared at the lecture, Bones was around to TA, Minsc was around for some reason, and Worf explained why he missed class last week. 'cause he was a -- a cool cat, coming on strong with all the chit chat -- GAH. Driver's Ed got to get lectured how cars work and then practice driving very boring cars.

Lacey: Why boring ones?

Katchoo: Why not?

Lacey: Because We like the cars, the cars that go boom!
We're Tigra and Bunny and we like the boom!

Katchoo: EXCUSE YOU. KEEP ME THE HELL OUT OF THIS. Francine and Arthur, Leda and Mulletboy, Claudia and Effy, Penelope and Tara, Dinah and Griff, and Alice did the practicing thing, Francine was around to TA, and if you wanted to talk to Ziva you could.

Lacey: And Claudia was singing as she shelved books in the library, quiet and cool. Love in the library, there are no rules, surrounded by stories surreal and sublime, I fell in love in the library once upon a time.

Katchoo: Didn't need to know that, Lacey.

Lacey: Not about me.

Katchoo: Right. In the office, Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never share, and no one dare disturb the sound of silence. I don't even know any more. Veronica was singing in her office today, which means there's no need to ask, is it all in that pretty little head of yours, what goes on in that place in the dark? Well, I used to know a girl and I could have sworn that her name was -- RRRRRRRRGH.

*SLOSH* Glinda was singing about a perfect day, and Anakin was trying to be hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry in his office, and yeah, good luck with that since Rachel came by for her weekly lesson, we assume not about doors, and Jaina filled him on her trip home, where my thoughts escaping, home, where my music's playing, home, where I NEVER FRIKKIN' WANT TO SING AGAIN.

Lacey: Guilty feet have got no rhythm?

Katchoo: THAT'S ABOUT DANCING, YOU MORON.

Lacey: I knew that.

Dorms

Katchoo: Zack was up disgustingly early in the salle to get in some sword practice with Arthur, and just so you know I've got squirrels lined up here dressed as a cop, a construction worker, an Indian chief, a cowboy, a biker, and a sailor. Yeah.

*chittering to the chorus of "Macho Man"*

Lacey: Emmett, Chuck, and Riggins were up on the roof this morning singing a Fandom version of that Discovery Channel song. Aww, I love that song. I love --

Katchoo: Not another sung word. Jack Burton was singing Beach Boys stuff at the Son of the Beach campfire, but it was the Wormhole X-Treme campfire that was humming, and not just because Kyle was. Gwen and Kyle met, and sang, and talked about diseases Kyle doesn't have. Gwen met Hurley and had to suffer bad jokes about whales, Hurley and Kyle sang at each other until Kyle had a -- aaaaaaaaah, Freak Out! GOD *FEEDBACK* IT. George Cooper was weird about Kyle singing, and then ended up singing himself, even if he told Hurley that singing isn't manly. Jack Priest sang about being patient since Kyle told him he'd have to wait for food, glorious food, I frikkin' hate today, Bobby and Kyle sang at each other, and no, Vanilla Ice really doesn't count, what the hell, and George, Bobby, and Kyle all sang together.

Lacey: Aww. Those three. Prince Edward was singing at Peter and Peter campfire, and over at the main campfire Danny rickrolled you all and was properly ashamed afterward. Alex Russo heard him, but they ended up discussing their Tactics class instead. At Bitterwoman campfire, Joan hoped people would show up, and found out from Jennifer how she turns just a little green, like the color when the spring is born now. Ellie and Joan talked about all the singing -- that sounds weird -- and Jennifer glomped Ellie. I'm being assured that's less painful than it sounds. Jean met Joan and it feels like there should be a song about that, and Ellie. Sam Winchester told Joan he's only been singing to his dog, told Ellie he's been here for three years, and got a greeting from Shilo. Joan and Hoshi discussed how right now everyone just wants to sing, sing a song, and Diana and Joan figured out they have a class together.

Katchoo: And then it wasn't Kum Ba Ya, exactly, but there was a big group number around the campfire. Emma had it a little quieter at Wendy the Werewolf Stalker campfire, singing about people remembering her name. Later at the main campfire, Priestly and Dinah were singing about . . . I don't even know. They were being goofy.

Lacey: Something you don't know how to do, I bet.

Katchoo: HEY. In Rumor Gal, Arthur and Merlin sang at each other this morning. The Village People squirrels just ran across the desk again. Hannibal got laughed at a little by Angela for his singing, and a certain scarf-loving bastard got a visit from Sam after singing a slow jam type thing. Rachel did that Bonnie Tyler song with the creepy screwed-up video --

Lacey: I like that YouTube version better --

Katchoo: -- outside Bitterwoman where Joan saw her and decided it was a Fandom thing. Yeah, no frikkin' kidding? Really? Ino was singing, 'cause that's what everyone's doing today, and got a phone call over in Lightning Bug, where Anemone's singing was a lot more creepy and Penelope was singing right smack dab in the middle of camp, she's found a paradise that's trouble proof, up on the roof. In Abaranger, Kate woke up singing about octopus rides, and in the evening Gwynn sang at her phone, and Elena and Jack Priest sang their life stories at each other over booze. AND THE OLD BLACK RUM'S GOT A HOLD ON ME, LIKE A DOG WRAPPED 'ROUND MY LEG! Ew. Valentine was singing on the roof of Galaxy Quest, the same song Ender was singing on the beach until Ben grilled him about it, and Rose was singing inside it, until Valentine came and sang at her, and then Worf stopped being a kitten. Guess it was about that time.

Lacey: Well, you know. To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn -- *thunk* Ow.

Katchoo: The "turn, turn, turn" part isn't supposed to be instructions for you to spin around in circles and bump into things, idiot. Gabrielle was singing about wishing she was a lesbian and talking to Valentine. Singing to her too.

Lacey: Francine sang at her reflection in the mirror this morning, like Turtle did. Claire's call home turned into a long-distance performance, and Kyle . . . sang himself awake. Alex Karev wanted the island to never make him sing again, and Shilo probably agrees, even if Hoshi's offer of tea got turned down in favor of Caritas. Karla was singing about having a 'shpadoinkle' day, much to Emma's confusion, and Leda sang about getting ready to go out.

Katchoo: Wow, it's like the reverse of those literal music videos. Layla was up on the roof of The Valley, reading with duct tape over her mouth. Ow. And Tybalt . . . is now can of cat food. Hope his cabinmates aren't that hungry. Joan and Elle Woods were both wandering around the campsite singing, and so was Bobby, except he got company from Jean, who thought he was sick at first 'cause of the singing.

Lacey: Good thing it's not a sickness.

Katchoo: Do you have anything witty to say?

Lacey: At the moment? No.

Katchoo: My heart bleeds. Really. Ben was still on the beach later, this time with Tiny Creepy Kid. Guess what. There was mopey singing. Fiona and Griff were out on the beach, too, and GUESS WHAT, there was singing and being flaily and embarrassed, and so were Savannah and K-Mart. The squirrels claim UST there. Dinah and Arthur ran into each other in the woods for what was probably like fireworks set to music, metaphorically.

Lacey: Aww, and Merlin and Francine sang a duet and ended up doing a floaty dance kind of thing and awww . . .

Katchoo: . . . yeah. And Zack turned into a puppy out in the preserve while training with Deadpool. The squirrels say it's really appropriate.

Town

Lacey: Wellspring Arms was under the cranky care of Nathan Algren today, and Jennifer was singing Dolly Parton at Cabot and Associates. At Strokes of Genius, my cohost --

Katchoo: Wasn't singing. But Ino came by, Dinah was her usual aggressively cheerful self, and Francine brought me doughnuts.

Lacey: At Atlas Gym Tyler thought he was Coldplay, which probably clashed pretty well with Fred's Weird Al Yankovic songs. Turtle got a haircut at Theodoric's this morning. Danny just couldn't help falling in love with the Peeeeeeeeeeerk, Daisy sang about her brand new pair of rollerskates, and at Turtle and Canary Maron was singing about December.

Katchoo: And then Turtle and her new haircut came in to sing and dance around with Maron. Dinah was walking on sunshine at Covent Garden Flowers. Sunshine, go away today. I don't feel much like dancing. She had a duet with Minsc about the flowers, and Leda came in for flowers since she woke up wanting to be a hippie or something.

Lacey: And Rachel Price and her, er, 'girls,' were threatening to get the sweaty dancing going, and Kirk was just fine with that. Lindsay sang about being a Barbie Girl at Stark Industries, and couldn't get rid of the evidence. Helen was singing at the Gig -- you lean forward to go, you pull back to go slow -- and that's more than I knew about riding horses before. Apparently my diner staff is more talented at a capella singing than they let on, since they were putting on a show today. Kate found out from Priestly that the singing was going around and that he'd be serving her today. Good job, Priestly. Aww, poor Irulan was mortified, the notes say, but sang about coffee with Priestly.

Katchoo: Millie was singing at Book Haven. Morgan got a creepy singing computer at the hardware store, and a visit from Dinah who serenaded him about not being her friend. Who looks just like him. At Groovy Tunes< Peyton's song was kinda needy. Castiel was at the church --

Lacey: First you get down on your knees, fiddle with your rosaries! Bow your head with great respect and genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Katchoo: . . . Fiona came by to explain stuff about herself. Hoshi was at the Arms wondering about love. Chuck Bass only wishes he was the devil, not that it stopped him from claiming he was in song. He made Castiel prove he could sing, amused Fiona, and Francine had a talk with him that if you ask me could've had about a hundred percent more punch in the jaw to it. It was Fleetwood Mac for Eve at the York Gallery . . .

Lacey: Wow. This squirrel really has the Stevie Nicks twirl down. Claire and Jon O'Neill did a duet at Android's Dungeon, and Danny joined Robin and Tully on the docks for a song about manly men. Okay, okay, squirrels? We really don't need the Village People outfits to come out again. Veronica kinda killed Deadpool's chances of not being noticed. Glinda was fine with the singing, though. Kyle did power ballads on his way to Selkie Peak --

Katchoo: Don't ever air guitar again. That was scary. George Cooper got chased through the streets by Tony DiNozzo to a song about catching a thief. Random. Caritas had balloons for Tino, courtesy Ben Reilly, the Perk had extra patronage courtesy of Jack O'Neill, and . . . Aphrodite, seriously? Sang that Bananarama song at Dite's Decadent Delights.

Lacey: The original was better.

Katchoo: Well, yeah. Dale was at J,GoB singing to his pie until Yakko stole it, and Edmund sang about his love of ice cream. No word on ice cream theft. Marshall was singing about peaches, Minsc serenaded Mina from below her balcony, and Mitchell had Rimmer *FEEDBACK*ing at him about the singing.

Lacey: Gibbs was singing while working on his boat, and DiNozzo caught him at it. As you might have guessed, they sang at each other. Tyler ended up with inevitable dirty along with inevitable singing -- and the beer -- when Tony came by. The same sort of thing went for Mayor Summers and Deadpool, once the baby and the puppies and the puppy that's Zack were taken care of.

Katchoo: . . . I'm not even going to describe the bizarre frikkin' song Geoffrey was singing. No. It was terrifying. Irulan was singing about being a cat in a hat in different languages. Useful phrase, right up there with 'where's the bathroom.' Loki sang and channel surfed, to prove he can multitask or something, and Daisy and Ben Reilly got kinda schmoopy afterward. Robin sang --

Lacey: OH MY GOD ROBIN SANG? AND I MISSED IT?

Katchoo: Sucks to be you, huh? Gawd, she's seriously all traumatized now.

*squirrely chorus of chittering and whistling*

Katchoo: AW CRAP IT'S AS BAD AS MY CABIN. NOT YOU GUYS TOO, I CAN'T EVEN --
