For Once, I WANT To Hit On Upchuck!

Upchuck has finally found his true calling in life, and just in time for National Piñata Day! I expect Upchuck would be a lot more popular with people if he came with free candy, especially if you had to beat him savagely in order to get it.

If you're in the mood for less violent entertainment, there's always International Juggler’s Day. Jodie and Helen both know quite a bit about metaphorical jugging thanks to their workloads, but it remains to be seen if either of them is skilled at the literal version.

Let's just hope that Bing and the Spatula Man don't try to put in an appearance for World Amateur Radio Day. Before anyone tries to claim that, being paid, they aren't technically amateurs, I suggest you take another look at the act and try to tell me there's anything professional about either of them.

Fanfic Update!

• Funky Pretty, by MoleFromTheMinistry (part 2): "'Daria, what do you find important in your life as a writer?' Mr. O’Neill inquired."


• I (Don't) Want to Be a Part of It, by ladyevil (part 5): "Alfred found a space to park the Mustang in a parking garage. 'We’ll probably just leave it here the whole vacation.' Alfred said. 'Most places are easier to get to by walking or subway.'"


• Prom Bomb (Making a Statement), by avav3 (COMPLETE!): "It was a quiet Friday evening. Tom and Daria sat in Daria’s room—Daria perched at her desk, working on a new piece of literature, while Tom lounged on her bed, reading her copy of Brave New World."


• Quinn Gets Medieval, by wilddogjj (parts 1 and 2): "Jim was driving his new car, a 2025 Mustang GT500, down the road. Soon, he was approaching his destination, a Medieval Times location." (Part 2)


• Spider Quinn 16 Tempest and Change, by cfardell_Brenorenz29 (part 1): "Quentin Beck got off the bus. He looked at the terminal in front of him."

"Are you ready to par-tay crazy?"

Bing and/or Spatula Man (does it really matter which is which?) is prepared to celebrate Radio Day...whether anyone wants him to or not. Just so we're clear, the answer is not. To read about radio that's actually entertaining, check out Ken Tremberth and Erin Mills's "Free Radio Lawndale."

While you're trying to tune out the Mental in the Morning DJs, you might visit the Big Strawberry in honor of National Tourism Day. It's the only tourist attraction Lawndale has, so you might as well make the most of it!

Then we can wish a happy National Teacher’s Day to all of the faculty at Lawndale High. Honestly, though, they'd rather just have higher pay, fewer demands from Ms. Li, or just some basic human dignity.

Jesse Learned Some New Four-Letter Words!

While the hair is pretty similar, I really don't think Jesse makes a good match as Howard Stern. For one thing, Howard Stern actually, you know, talks. Still, who would you rather have for World Radio Day? Bing and the Spatula Man?

Speaking of weird names, today is also Get a Different Name Day and you'd better choose one quick before all the good ones are gone. How about Esmerelda? Better follow Jake's wise advice: "You change your name, move to another state, get some ID. It's not too late to start over, Daria, it's not too late! You're still a young man! You don't have to live with your mistakes! Get out while you can!"

• Daria Ravenclaw: The Year of the Owl, by Meester_Lee (part 58): "Vernon Dursley sat in his chair and silently groused. As far as he was concerned, this workshop was a waste of time, the trainer was a twit, and the material he’d been required to read was complete and utter twaddle."


• Made in America, by ladyevil (part 8): "'Take that, you son of a bitch!' Alfred shouting, firing his gun repeatedly. 'And that! And that! And here’s one for your old man!'"

I Guess No One Wants a Free T-shirt

Bing and/or Spatula Man is trying his best to drum up some enthusiasm for National Radio Day, but he just can't get any takers. Maybe he should try making some rude jokes and annoying sound effects. On the other hand, if you'd like some quality radio-related entertainment, take a look at Ken Tremberth and Erin Mills's fanfic series "Free Radio Lawndale." SPreeeeeeeechreeeeeech!

Bzzzzzz!

Well, someone is happy about World Mosquito Day, but it's not any of the humans that serve as their meal. I'll be celebrating with some DEET and a few good swats.

If you'd rather stay in than be dinner, then you could observe National Radio Day instead. What better way than by reading "Free Radio Lawndale" by Ken Tremberth & Erin Mills? Sure beats listening to Bing and the Spatula Man!

Fanfic Update!

• Baby Fever (Life After Thirty), by WildDogJJ (COMPLETE!): "Quinn and Jim were in the checkout line loading groceries onto the conveyer belt.

• The Lion Meets the Mouse, by Kristen Bealer (part 1): "'You realize, I'm sure, that moving to a whole new town and starting your first day at a new school is difficult under even the best circumstances, right?' Brenda asked her daughter. 'Of course, Mother,' Stacy replied automatically."


• Teaching is a work of heart, by Rémi (parts 18 - 20): "Morgendorffer household. Daria and Quinn are eating dinner. At the end of the meal, Quinn takes two apples from a fruit basket and shows them to Daria." (Part 19) (Part 20)

I Thought I Heard "Personality," but That Can't be Right

Spatula Man is here to celebrate radio personality Howard Stern's 63rd birthday. I'm sure Bing's somewhere around here as well--to Daria's chagrin. Don't worry, Daria, I'm sure another blast of your sour mood will scare them off. It's worked once before, after all.

Happy birthday to Howard Stern, born on this day in 1954. Jesse might have the hair for the alter ego image, but I seriously doubt he'd have much of a future in radio with a vocabulary made up mostly of "Cool" and "Yeah."

Telstar Tales

A very curious and historic day this is, indeed. Just 48 years ago today, a satellite was launched into Earth orbit from Florida. Its name was Telstar. It was not only the first communications satellite to transmit live television and high-speed data (telephone calls and faxes) across the Atlantic, it also the first privately sponsored space launch.

It created a great stir, uniting in one stroke the people of North America and Europe through their TV sets. Telstar I became the forerunner of a great family of communications spacecraft still used today. (We're up to Telstar 18.)

So, up went Telstar, and then... people went a little crazy. You have to understand how amazing Telstar was to the world of 1962. It was SO amazing, a mad blizzard of completely unrelated things were all named Telstar in honor of the original one, because everyone thought it was such a cool thing. This naming trend has continued to this very day. Things are STILL being named Telstar because of that one long-ago satellite.

Did you know that Telstar revolutionized soccer? (That's football to everyone but the USA.) This happened when Adidas came out with a soccer ball painted to look like the satellite. It is now the standard soccer ball the world over. No kidding.

And there's more. Telstar also happens to be the name of...

• a very popular instrumental song that I remember from my childhood (listen to it here)
• a brand of soccer shoes
• a soccer team from the Netherlands
• a make of Ford cars
• a high school in Maine
• a family of Coleco videogame systems (one example)
• a character (a.k.a. Satellite) in the Final Fantasy VI videogame
• a 2009 movie
• a book of science-fiction stories
• a blog
• a hotel in Italy
• a brand of computer tower cases (detailed images)
• a brand of automobile tire rims in New Zealand
• a type of electronic part
• a brand of telescope
• and what looks like jewelry that lights up, I think... maybe
  

I wonder if anyone has named a child Telstar. (Oh, the horror.) The original Telstar satellite was destroyed by radiation from hydrogen bombs set off in outer space, which sounds like I am making that up, but I am not. Burned the satellite's power right out. Very sad. It's still up there, the original Telstar, still orbiting the Earth even in electronic death. Not likely it will ever be forgotten, at least not by anyone who plays soccer.

Today is also the 154th birthday anniversary of super-genius Nikola Tesla, whose name sounds like Telstar but is unrelated. Tesla is mentioned in only three Daria fanfics. A pity. Telstar has never been mentioned at all. (The above was corrected, thanks to readers more alert than I am.)

Time for something completely different. Or not.

• Daria/Dorian, by LadieT (continued): As school ended, Jodie and Mack approached Dorian. Dorian was staring at the tiny slip of paper from Mrs. Bennett's class. Jodie shook her head as she pointed at the Dorian's hand. "Congratulations on getting the one project that none of us wanted." Jodie smirked. "Gee thanks. Good luck with your projects. Mack, twenty bucks says Kevin actually ends up buying a car." Dorian replied. "I would say you're on but we are talking about Kevin." (FF.net)
  
• Finn Morgendorffer 52: With Extra Bitters, by HolyGrail2007 (Part 5): “Look, I didn’t want to snap at you. I’m just not used to having other people criticize my writing. Or other people for that matter. Ask my first boyfriend what happened when I showed him a story I wrote. And, well...I read yours. The one you said wasn’t any good because you divided your time like you did. Well...I liked it. It was good, better than mine.” Daria admitted, and every word was painful. “So what’s the problem with that? Course mine’s gonna be better, I’d been writing these things my whole life, and I’m older than you. It’s as obvious as don’t run with scissors or don’t put your dangly bits in the mouth of an alligator.” “I wrote my whole life too!” Daria returned, ignoring his randomness. “That was me, every day I wrote. And I watched my writing get better and better, and the off-chance that I shared it with someone, they loved it. Not that my English teacher would ever say something that could damage my poor self-esteem, but it was enjoyed, and thought to be great.” “So I come along and ruin everything by, what, being good at the same thing? Jeez, ego trip much?”
  
• First Born, by RLobinske (Part 4): Seated at the dining table while Derek prepared breakfast, Karen said, "Jane Lane. What are you doing up so early?" Hair as rumpled as her t-shirt and shorts, Jane said, "Having to get to school at 7:30 has made me a morning person, dammit." "But not a very cheerful one," Karen said. "You can bet your sweet ass I'm not cheerful about it. Coffee?"
• NEW! Full Metal Pragmatist, by Dark Kuno (COMPLETE!): "OK, this might hurt a bit..." came Trent's voice as it roused her from her nostalgia. "Don't sugar coat it for the girl, boy," grumped Bernice Lane-Rockbell from her place near the girl's lower body. "OK, it will hurt a bit..." he continued. "Hell with a bit, it's going to hurt a lot," stated Trent's aunt and guardian as her nephew carefully and expertly slid the ends of the wiring into the exposed flesh around the girl's clavicle. (FF.net)
  
• The Graduation Gift, by LadieT (COMPLETE!): I glanced at the clock. It was six thirty. I showered and got dressed. I stared at myself in the mirror. My short black bangs had been replaced by longer ones that curved around the contour of my face. I covered my lips in their signature red. My face appeared drawn and tired. My last set of finals had been brutal. I looked down at my hands. My fingers were calloused from years of artistic abuse. Today though will prove it was all worth it. I left the bathroom and headed back to my room. (FF.net)
  
• Regifted, by Ajar (Part 8): Quinn took a deep sip from her diet soda like a stereotypical cop with a cup of coffee in a particularly difficult interrogation. “Okay, let's go through this again. What skirt do you want to go with your top?” “What's wrong with jeans?” Daria asked. Quinn sighed dramatically. “I told you already. My jeans don't fit you. You have an apple body-type, everyone will see your belly. A couple weeks away from Pizza King and we'll discuss that.” “Quinn, this is really just a one-time thing.” “I can help you out. But ultimately you have to figure things out for yourself. Me doing this all for you isn't going to help you in the real world.” “I don't even watch The Real World.”

• Three-Edged Sword, by NightGoblyn (Part 3): "Jane... I... there's something I need to tell you." Jane leaned over, poking just enough of her head around the large canvas that Tom could see her from the nose up. She gestured with her paint brush for him to speak. "It's... it's important." Tom waited a moment, and when Jane didn't respond his brow creased with irritation. "Could you come out from behind the damn painting a minute?" Jane sighed, and Tom heard the clatter of her palette on the table followed by the gentle splash of her brush being dropped into a jar of water. She walked around the side of the easel and stretched, moaning slightly as her neck and shoulders popped. Tom's eyes flicked away, trying not to notice that Jane's figure had returned to what it was before her pregnancy, only now enhanced with a gentle swell of hips and a prouder set of breasts. Doing a good job not noticing, Tommy Boy, he thought sourly. (Continues from this once-unnamed story)

• NEW! Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Crossover the Pond), by rglovejoy (COMPLETE!): The mob of peasants surged forward and threw the bespectacled girl at Bedevere's feet. "A witch, a witch! We've got a witch! Might we burn her?" "How do you KNOW she is a witch?" Bedevere demanded, his right eye periodically popping out of its socket. A particularly dim peasant, with outsized shoulders, spoke up. "She looks like one, y'know?" "I'm not a witch," the girl said flatly. "But you are DRESSED as one," Bedevere told her. "These morons dressed me up like this," the girl countered. "This isn't my nose. It's a false one." "Well, we did do the nose," the peasant conceded. (Daria/Monty Python's Flying Circus)

• Unnamed story (More Crossovers Not Yet Crossed Over), by Minx (COMPLETE!): Sandi stood in front of her locker discussing the new school dress code, "...And under no circumstances shall either of you wear neon. It wasn't cute last year and I'll make damned sure it won’t be this year. I don't care what Valentino says," she turned to her trench-(wo)men for confirmation but was cut off but the chirp of three message cell phone tones sounding out simultaneously. Stacy was the first to check, she flipped open her phone and looked at Sandi gravely. "What, what is it?" Sandi barked. Stacy shook her head timidly and muttered a few words that resembled, 'Nothing, don't worry,' before flipping the phone shut and shoving it into the depths of her bag. "Nothing my ass," Sandi retorted as she drew her own cell-phone from her locker and checked her messages.

She's been having these horrible nightmares about high school." "Quinn, there's nothing wrong about that. Almost everyone has horrible nightmares about high school. Even you. Remember that dream you had where you were surrounded by fanboys and nerds and couldn't get away from them, as they tried to get your autograph, cut off pieces of clothing and cop feels?" "Yeah, I sure do. And who would've thought it would turn into reality after I went to work in television..."
• NEWER! The White Fox, by Lord Akiyama (prologue): The figure went over the words again to make sure what he was reading was the material he was looking for. He looked up and around to make sure the teenage girl was still asleep in her bed. Satisfied, the figure silently slipped out of the padded bedroom through the window, careful to not make a sound as he went. He quietly moved, jumping from one rooftop to the next. Much of the moon was covered by clouds on this night, offering him more darkness to cover him from unsuspecting eyes that might get lucky and catch him about. The figure did not stop until thirty minutes later when he reached his destination.
  

The Jesse Moreno Show?

Today is Howard Stern's 55th birthday, and MTV artists saw fit to have Jesse be Howard Stern in a late-season alter ego. Hmm, not really like him, sorry.

In case you missed the Secret Fandom Codes unearthed by A.J. on PPMB, here they are. Study them carefully, and you too can become a Secret Master of Fandom! Or committed, whichever.

Dariaverse.com updated on the 10th, more stories online. Lawndale Online has Richard Lobinske's "Arrivals and Returns" (FiC 65). Legendeld had more rantings today.

Other than that, it is Monday. Hope yours is a good one.

Gooooooo, Cheerleaders! Yay!

Today, and I swear this is true, is celebrated as the 110th anniversary of the invention of cheerleading.

Not sure what else to say about that.

Maybe nothing. Let's move on.

Today is also All Souls Day at Holiday Island High, and also still the Day of the Dead, like yesterday, and is the 51st anniversary of a famous UFO case that Daria surely knows about, since she's into that sort of thing. The longest-operating commercial radio station in the U.S. is 88 today. BBC One is 72.
