Fandom Radio, Monday, January 18
Sam: Good evening, Fandom. I'm so glad we have the power back for this. I don't think I have the lungs for yelling through town.
Andy: Would one of us had got a bell to ring like town criers used to have?
Sam: If by "one of us" you mean you, then yeah, probably.
Andy: Well, you have the bigger lungs obviously -- there's more ribcage there for them to fit inside -- so you'd be too busy yelling to ring it.
Sam: ...on second thought, maybe I would do the ringing while you yelled.
Andy: Actually, considering what me yelling can sometimes do...you totally want to be the one yelling.
Sam: Yeah, okay, I'm going to go back to being glad we have power. And heat on top of it.
Andy: Maybe I can get a bell and ring it over the radio?
Sam: We could try that next week. Consider that your warning, Fandom.
SCHOOL
Sam:It's a good thing the power came back on, or we might not have been able to have classes today. Build Your Own Philosophy talked about cosmological arguments, and traced events back in their own lives or in the lives of others through the chain of causation.
Horror 101 learned about the history of the werewolf myth which isn't really a myth, but that's probably beside the point. The class watched "The Man Wolf" and discussed whether or not they think werewolves exist, and whether or not that idea scares them. They're less scary if you just stay away from them, really. After class, Kate told Mr. Mitchell that Jason has left the school, and he asked her if she wanted to have some coffee and talk about it.
Japanese Etiquette and Tradition talked about Japanese superstitions, of which there's about a million so I'm assuming it was just a sample. Then they all tried one out, throwing their shoes in the air to predict the weather.
Andy: Not sure that winter is the season you want to try predicting the weather in a way that leaves you barefoot.
Sam: It's only one shoe, and you can do it inside. I think if you're standing in the snow or rain, you don't really need the prediction.
Andy: If it's just for what the weather is doing right now, wouldn't it be easier to just look out a window?
Sam: It's for the future too. And it's a superstition, it doesn't have to make sense.
Andy: They should though. I mean, even magic makes sense when you know the rules.
Sam: I'd really like to see you try to explain that to the people of Japan. Seriously. The Outdoor Fitness and Strategy class practiced making strategies by having a snowball fight. Some people here have a really vicious aim, let me tell you.
World Mythology talked about Hawaiian mythology today, by watching a movie about the Hawaiian culture and discussing the myth it was translated from.
Gabrielle was in the library today for her shift, as was our librarian. And finally, Mr. Lupin spent his office hours cleaning tanks for class, and having tea with Mr. Black.
Andy: Fish tanks or war tanks?
Sam: Uh, fish tanks, I think? Otherwise they'd need a reaaally big office.
Andy: Not if they're toy tanks.
DORMS
Andy: Over in the dorms,Tara talked to Kennedy the hedgehog who was suddenly no longer a hedgehog. This led to kissing and talk about Kennedy's life as a hedgehog. Y'know someone should write a book about all the experiences people have here as animals.
Sam: That's...actually a really good idea. The question is, would anyone believe it?
Andy: They would around here. Sookie brought Bobby a cake, but he almost didn't notice because he was so distracted by a phone call from home. Wow. That had to be some phone call. I'd never ignore cake.
Since it was Monday morning, Arthur was training in the salle, as well as answering a few texts. He asked Dinah how healed she was after last week's injuries, and convinced her to use the lightest... eskrimas? possible instead of a sword. Okay non-combatant here asking -- eskrimas?
Sam: It's a fancy word for big sticks, basically.
Andy: I'd think it would be easier to just say big sticks then. Instead of something that sounds like it should be an inuit yule celebration.
Sam: Well, they're usually really nice sticks? If that helps?
Andy: Instead of swords or eskrimas, Merlin had hot cocoa -- much more my speed. Arthur warned him not to spill it on the floor, and they discussed Owain, Arthur teasing Owain's tendency to attack Merlin. Though hopefully not the cocoa.
And in the fifth floor common room this evening, Hurley was watching wrestling and eating ho-hos. He tried to explain wrestling to Raven, who thought the men were strangely shiny. Was it oil wrestling?
Sam: I don't think we get stations that show that sort of thing.
Andy: You'd be surprised what you get with an premium cable package. And Raven, if you want, I'll do my best to explain wrestling to you. Hurley also apologized to Ellie about the wrestling not being very girl-friendly. Yes, because there's nothing about watching mostly naked well muscled shiny guys rolling around on canvas with each other that could possibly appeal to girls.
Sam: Oh no, I can't imagine why they'd find that entertaining at all. Especially the girls here.
TOWN
Sam: Lacey had to break up a fight between the American and the Canadian cream sodas at Luke's Diner today. That sounds like a recommendation to stick to the water there to me.
Dani stayed in the barn with the horses at The Gig, Mirax was bundled up even with the heat on at Things Reborn and Worf was listening to "music" at Wellspring Arms. Judging from the sarcastic quotation marks, I don't think the squirrels share his tastes.
Andy: Well it isn't like the squirrels have proved to have good taste in the past, so not sure if their opinion should be taken on this.
Sam: Heh, good point. Makita was going around picking ugly things off of the racks at Pixie Dust when Jack came in looking for a new suitcoat; they talked about not being Westerners and Makita's plans to burn the worst of the clothing while she helped him. Proto stopped in too, and they talked about the blizzard, and how they're doing getting settled in here.
Ender had to deal with another random attack of fruit at Stark Industries - kumquats this time - and when Ben came for his usual visit, bearing Thai food this week, he tried to help with the fruit too. Claudia was digging into some books at Book Haven when Karla came by to uphold her big sibling duties and make sure Claudia's classes are going well and that she hasn't run into any trouble yet. Aside from dealing with the lack of power, of course. Mina dropped in too, looking for a book on the accounts of some explorer, and didn't seem particularly pleased with Claudia's level of service.
Dinah and Jaime went out for ice cream at Chilly Boulder, because not even a blizzard makes it a bad time for ice cream. Jaime wasn't exactly up for cold dessert, but he went along anyway so they could get caught up with each other. Millie talked to the nurses about how they spent their weekend at the clinic, and Adrian was a little late to work at Caritas, although I don't think that mattered much since it looks like everyone was at Fast Eddie's instead for Deadpool's bowling party night.
Deadpool and Mr. Algren talked about missing Minsc. There's a definite lack of hamster excitement on the island without him, I agree. Biff and Deadpool wondered why bowling shoes are always designed to be so ugly, and plotted some potential amusement to be had with some of the doppelganger students. Yeah, that doesn't sound like potential trouble at all.
Andy: Makes me glad that even though I've got a twin, he doesn't look like me.
Sam: And he's not here...which isn't really a good thing. Sorry. Mr. Halpert was kind of excited to find out that Biff had never been bowling before, since that made the potential for embarrassment high. Lady Ghanima tried to convince Deadpool that she could bowl perfectly well in her own shoes, but he insisted that the people at the bowling alley would whine to the mayor about people not obeying the rules and then he'd have to deal with it. The squirrels want me to add "possibly with sex" and I apologize if anyone just got an unwanted mental image.
Biff and Lady Ghanima talked about the terrible shoes before catching up with each other, and Lady Ghanima got caught up with Irulan as well. Biff tried to taunt Loki and acted like he could beat him at bowling, and Deadpool made sure to introduce himself to Ms. Gale, who asked about his costume. She also met Mr. Halpert, who advised her on how much she might be able to get away with in her classes.
Cindy had her own bowling shoes, which got her off on the right foot with Deadpool, no pun intended. Oh, and the fact that she's attractive apparently helped too, and got her some attention from Mr. Dukes. She was surprised to meet Biff because that's a name she's never heard, and she's heard a lot of them.
Mr. DeTamble complimented Cindy on her fabulous shoes, while Dani Reese was just amused that anyone would actually buy shoes for bowling. Deadpool warned Mr. Dukes not to break anything, and mocked Mr. Rogers for picking a non-alcoholic drink. Dani, on the other hand, was glad to not be alone in drinking soda instead of booze.
Dimitri joked with Deadpool that the tall people are plotting to take over the island. Either it was a joke or I missed a memo somewhere. Jaina was around, since the sign only said you had to be over 18, and she and Dimitri complained about the shoes and compared their previous bowling experiences.
Andy: So the bowling alley has a stricter age limit than the bar? That sounds about right for this place.
Sam: I don't think it does, I think there was just an age limit on the party.
Andy: Still. Bowling.
Sam: Bowling with drinking? I can't complain about our Vice Principal trying to be responsible for once. Deadpool tried to figure out why Mr. Halpert has a video camera following him around all the time and yeah, I can imagine that would get really annoying after while. Dani asked Deadpool if he was going to a costume party, due to his outfit, and Jaina explained to Deadpool that she's 21 and therefore totally allowed to stick around for the evening.
Irulan was worried about how her hat might hurt her bowling skills, but talking to Deadpool convinced her that an awesome hat could only help. Mr. DeTamble was worried about catching something from the bowling shoes, and Deadpool didn't really reassure him very well. Irulan agreed that they looked unhygienic and Mr. Rogers tried to convince him that at least cancer was one thing he probably wouldn't catch from the bad shoes.
Andy: Unless they were radioactive shoes. Which might work better to predict the weather.
Sam: Here? Yeah, they probably would. That's the end of my notes. Do you have anything else?
Andy: Just a couple of drunken squirrels who wouldn't look good in bowling shoes.
Sam: I think that's it for us tonight then. Have a good week, you guys.
Andy: Would one of us had got a bell to ring like town criers used to have?
Sam: If by "one of us" you mean you, then yeah, probably.
Andy: Well, you have the bigger lungs obviously -- there's more ribcage there for them to fit inside -- so you'd be too busy yelling to ring it.
