Hot as Helen

I guess Helen likes her toasted marshmallows very well done, but that's fine because it's National S'mores Day and every marshmallow tastes great if you add enough chocolate to it! Just maybe put out the fire before you eat it.

The only problem is that toasting the marshmallow and assembling the s'more is a lot of work, especially for Lazy Day. Trent probably considers this his favorite holiday, although I'm sure he sleeps through it every year.

There won't be any laziness for the Lawndale High Football team, particularly because it's World Lion Day and the Lions can't let down their school! Although they do let it down pretty regularly, like when Kevin hurt his knee and quit the team or purposely blew a play for an assignment or...wait, are we sure Kevin is an asset to the team?

A Good Day for Lazy Lions!

Daria is clearly not enjoying World Lion Day, but lucky for Daria, real lions don't force people to dance with them. They just maul them to death.

Today is also Lazy Day, and I was going to make a joke about Trent here, but...meh. I don't feel like it.

Random Fanfic Idea #12

One afternoon, while the Lawndale Lions are on their bus being driven to a football game at another school, Something Peculiar Happens. The story can go in any direction, but the Lawndale Lions must work together to resolve the situation, whether they have been kidnapped by aliens, discover an old ruined mansion with a laboratory and a monster in the basement, rescue a cheerleader in distress, rescue Coach Gibson in distress, get arrested for mooning passing traffic from the bus windows, etc. Mack, Kevin, Jeffy, Joey, Jamie, Robert, and the rest have a real challenge before them. This is a great way to develop some of the background characters as well.

Stories about the football team are not common, though Crusading Saint did an excellent job with "Trophy Chasers." If anyone can think of other fanfic about the Lawndale Lions, drop a note here, and give writing a new story a try, too.

Extra Notes: As far as can be told from watching various episodes, only one other black player is on the team besides Mack. The Fashion Club appears to date many if not all of the players, per Sandi's comments in "A Tree Grows in Lawndale." Only Mack has a grade-point average above a C.
