Darkwing quacks, "All right, our guest this week is Gladstone.  Also, we're
trying out a new format for the show - the first part of the show will
introduce the character, the second will introduce the player behind it."
Darkwing quacks, "Now, does anyone need a reminder on how this all works?"
Gladstone exclaims, "I do!"
Darkwing quacks, "How this all works is that people ask you questions, and you
answer them.  (As spam prevention, please page or whisper questions to me, and
I will ask them on your behalf.)"
Gladstone exclaims, "O.k.!"
Gladstone exclaims, "Well, let's get started!"
Darkwing quacks, "We'll start out as soon as someone asks a question (hint,
hint)."
Arista has arrived.
Arista appears in a shower of sparkling starfish and a blue-white light.
HopLow has arrived.
In the distance, you hear the song, 'Sing Sing Sing with a Swing' playing. Next
thing you know, a little Chinese mushroom JUMP JIVES into the room with you!
Darkwing quacks, "Hello there, we're just starting the show."
Arista says, "I've never participated before in this."
HopLow is happy this show is back so she can see what it is like.
HopLow asks, "has it started yet?"
Darkwing nods to the fungus.
LeFou has arrived.
Arista asks, "Ask Glad questions?"
Gladstone exclaims, "Come on! Ask a question (via Darkwing)! I can take it!
^_^"
LeFou says, "Hello all."
HopLow waves to LeFou!
HopLow is thinking....
LeFou waves back.
LeFou wonders what's going on.
Darkwing quacks, "HopLow wants to know what your favorite hobbies are."
Ariel waves quietly and unfortunately has to go.  See you all later.
Ariel dives into a shallow puddle and is gone.
Ariel has left.
HopLow says, "This is called Get to Know. Gladstone is the guest. We ask
questions about him so we can know him better."

LeFou says, "re just happened: Correct. :-)"
Gladstone asks, "You mean beside winning contests?"
HopLow says, "Um....yes"
HopLow pokes at everyone to make sure they are still breathing.
Gladstone says, "I like to travel and I like chatting with my friends."
Ngeran has arrived.
You hear a playful cub-roar coming from nearby. All of a sudden Ngeran comes
bounding into the room with a smile.
Arista asks, "Is this the OOC or IC part?"
HopLow says, "IC I think."
HopLow exclaims, "Hey, Negeran!"
Ngeran asks, "So who's getting grilled? :)"
HopLow says, "minus the e"
Darkwing quacks, "This is the IC part."
Gladstone says, "I am...and don't say grilled to a gander..."
HopLow says, "Gladstone."
Ngeran giggles
Darkwing quacks, "Next question is from Arista:  *Why* are you so gosh darn
friendly?"
Gladstone exclaims, "Because it makes me happy! Besides, when you are the
Luckiest Goose in the World (tm), you don't have much to fear from anyone!"
Darkwing quacks, "Fair enough."
Darkwing quacks, "Next, from LeFou:  Have you ever been to France?"
HopLow giggles at LeFou. :)
Arista says, "It's IC. :)"
Gladstone says, "I once won a trip around the world, with a stop in France.
Nice pastries..."
LeFou observes that when you're as silly-looking as he is, you're used to being
giggled at.
HopLow asks, "Did you see the Effiel Tower?"
LeFou says, "Arista: I know. It was just the first thing I could think of..."
Arista says, "No, it's fine. :)"
Darkwing quacks, "Another one from LeFou - were you ever on the _Titanic_?"
Gladstone exclaims, "Of course not! It sank! Not very lucky!"
Panic chuckles
HopLow throws a banana peel in front of LeFou's right foot.
Darkwing quacks, "HopLow asks what was the luckiest thing that's ever happened
to you."
Arista clears her throat.
Gladstone exclaims, "Meeting everyone here!"
Darkwing quacks, "Actually, Arista asked that too, at about the same time."
LeFou slips on the banana peel so massively that he flies up, up, up into the
air until he's clear out of sight.
Broomstick enters from Main Street.
Broomstick has arrived.
LeFou doesn't come down for a while
Arista asks, "Oh? I see. :) Great minds and all. ;)"
Beast has arrived.
HopLow looks up in the sky and oooooohs.
LeFou is still too far up to see
Broomstick enters the FDCMuck Traditions Classroom.
Broomstick has left.
LeFou eventually gets caught in the gravity well after all and comes falling to
earth, screaming all the way. He makes a Wile-E.-Coyote-style LeFou-shaped
crater in the ground, complete with dust cloud.
Beast hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home...
Beast has left.
HopLow offers to help LeFou off the ground.
Darkwing quacks, "Any more questions?"
HopLow asks, "IC questions?"
Darkwing nods.
LeFou climbs out of his crater with stars orbiting his head.
Broomstick enters the Town Hall from the Traditions Classroom.
Broomstick has arrived.
HopLow can't think of one.
Broomstick opens the front door to Town Hall and steps out to Main Street.
Broomstick has left.
Darkwing quacks, "LeFou asks whether you ever had to work for a Mr. Spacely.
Whoever that is."
HopLow asks, "Mr. Spacely? George jetson's Boss???"
LeFou says, "Ayup."
HopLow waits for Gladstone to answer.
Gladstone exclaims, "I don't have to work!"
HopLow asks, "How do you make money?"
HopLow asks, "To eat?"
Arista exclaims, "He's lucky!"
Darkwing quacks, "Finds it or wins it."
Darkwing quacks, "Arista wonders how you feel about not being in a TV series,
like Scrooge is."
HopLow asks, "Like Finding food on the ground?"
Shani has arrived.
Shani says, "hello :)"
HopLow waves to Shani!
Arista exclaims, "Hi!"
LeFou says, "Hello Shani"
Ngeran waves :)
HopLow says, "p arista =:wonders if he is sexy. ;)"
Gladstone exclaims, "Well, I don't need the money, and I'm not ready to do all
that work in a TV series yet. But stay tuned!"
HopLow says, "ooops."
LeFou says, "Yeah oops. ((tm) Jeffrey Boam and Shane Black, 1989)"
HopLow asks, "Who?"
LeFou says, "Oh. Danny Glover says that in _Lethal Weapon 2_, and those guys
wrote that movie."
Panic asks, "Hops?!?"
HopLow asks, "What, Panic?"
Panic blinkblinks atta HopLow
LeFou says, "HopLow: Sorry, I just have a thing for obscure jokes. :-)"
HopLow grins at LeFOu
Darkwing quacks, "p hoplow=Looking for a rich bachelor, eh?"
HopLow :P at Darkwing.
Arista laughs! :)
Panic chuckles
Gladstone asks, "What's next?"
LeFou hopes that this little game doesn't turn into alt.flame.fdcmuck.
Arista says, "We have splooshing here."
HopLow shakes her head at LeFou. :)
LeFou says, "Arista: Oh, groovy."
LeFou keeps his bucket of water at the ready.
Anxiety Attack hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home...
Panic has left.
Shani has disconnected.
Darkwing quacks, "One more question, then we'll take a commercial break before
the second half of the show."
Darkwing quacks, "LeFou asks whether you have any relatives that aren't so
lucky."
LeFou switches on his AdNix machine.
Arista raises her arms in the air and shouts, "KOWABUNGA!!!!". A
world-destroying Tidal Wave comes crashing down on LeFou. The Tsunami gives
LeFou the splooshing of a lifetime!
LeFou gargles, "Oh no!"
HopLow giggles at the mermaid.
LeFou fortunately took cover in his own crater in the nick of time and avoided
the worst of the tsunami.
Gladstone says, "I would say Donald, but then again, he has survived so much
AND has a girlfriend..."
LeFou asks, "Would *you* consider yourself lucky if you were constantly
irritable and incomprehensible?"
LeFou has a flashback of _Who Framed Roger Rabbit_. Daffy: "Does *anyone*
understandphf what thisphf duck is *saying*?!"
HopLow giggles. :)
Shani will brb. I gotta go to my room
Shani has disconnected.
HopLow asks, "Did I sing a song that put everyone to sleep?"

Darkwing quacks, "All right, we're back for _Get to Know_.  Now we'll switch
gears a bit and get to know the man behind the bird."
Beast has arrived.
HopLow waves to Beast!
Darkwing quacks, "Please page me your OOC questions for Gladstone at this
time."
HopLow exclaims, "Oh! That was the break! :)"
HopLow practices some ballet pirouettes while waiting.
Darkwing quacks, "LeFou:  Are you, or have you ever been, a Commie Mutant
Traitor?"
HopLow blinks at LeFou's silly questions.
Gladstone says, "Yes, but that was in an alternate time line that no long
exists."
LeFou rolls his eyes. He's trying to decide if the smiley's been
well-translated...
HopLow asks, "What Smiley?"
LeFou says, "HopLow: I meant the Commie thing as a joke. I hope I've not been
misunderstood...."
HopLow says, "Not misunderstood. I knew it was a joke. :)"
Bagheera has disconnected.
Darkwing quacks, "Arista:  What are your favorite anime and Disney films?"
LeFou watches the panther go up in smoke. Awwwwww....
Gladstone asks, "Anime? I would say Kiki's Delivery Service. Disney, I like too
many to choose..."
HopLow still has yet to watch Kiki.
Arista wows. Gladstone has good taste. :)
Darkwing quacks, "HopLow:  What are your favorite hobbies?"
Gladstone says, "Besides anime and Disney, I like pinball, the occasional game
at the local laser-tag place, and bowling."
Darkwing quacks, "LeFou:  What do your initials C.T. stand for?"
Gladstone exclaims, "The 'C' stands for Chris. The 'T'..well, I like to make
people guess...they have never guessed it yet! (And it is a real name, not just
some word...)"
LeFou says, "Tiberius. :-)"
Darkwing quacks, "Thelonious?"
Arista asks, "Thomas?"
HopLow asks, "Trevor?"
LeFou asks, "Thaddeus?"
HopLow asks, "Timothy?"
Gladstone exclaims, "Nope!"
Arista asks, "Theodore?"
HopLow likes LeFou's Thaddeus answer. :)
Gladstone chuckles!
LeFou bows
LeFou asks, "Taylor?"
Gladstone says, "No."
Gladstone exclaims, "Next question!"
Darkwing quacks, "Arista:  Why did you choose Gladstone as a character, and
what would be your next choice?"
Gladstone exclaims, "Well, actually, my first choice was going to be one of the
feline character, but since I didn't see any good ones availible, I went with
Gladstone. I liked the idea of being really lucky!"
Darkwing sounds the five-minute warning.
Darkwing quacks, "Arista again:  What's your bowling average?"
Gladstone says, "At my best, I was up to 190, but that was years ago..."
Arista eeps.
Ngeran says, "Wow, pretty good :)"
Darkwing quacks, "Ngeran:  What is your favorite pinball game?"
Gladstone says, "A toss up between White Water and Creature from the Black
Lagoon."
Darkwing quacks, "LeFou:  How did you get the nickname Patchy?"
HopLow asks, "Patchy?"
Gladstone says, "It's the nickname of my character on other mucks.
PatchO'Black."
Darkwing quacks, "And where did that character get his name?"
Gladstone says, "He is a Jellicle cat and his fur has a small patch of black on
his back."
Darkwing quacks, "HopLow:  What's your favorite ride at Disneyland?"
Gladstone exclaims, "Indiana Jones!"
Darkwing quacks, "And your least favorite?  :)"
HopLow yays!
Darkwing just had a frightening thought:  What if Bach wrote some variations of
It's A Small World?
Gladstone says, "Hmmm...."
LeFou exclaims, "AIGH!"
Gladstone says, "The Dumbo ride"
Darkwing nods.
Darkwing quacks, "Okay, last question for this week.  LeFou asks whether you
use wood or wire clothes hangers?"
HopLow would like to hear that Bach version on a sequel to Heigh Ho Mozart.
Gladstone says, "I use plastic."
Darkwing quacks, "Already exists, Hoppy.  (Bippidy Boppidy Bach)"
LeFou says, "Ah."
HopLow asks, "The Small World version is on Bippity Boppidy Bach???"
HopLow wonders if LeFou watches Mommy Dearest.
LeFou says, "HopLow: Not yet. :-)"
Darkwing quacks, "I don't know if that specific song is on there.  Probably
isn't."
Arista says, "Well, this has been fun Gladdy. I'll now return to my room, since
I get claustrophobic in crowded ones. :P"
Darkwing quacks, "All right, that'll wrap things up for now.  Join us next week
when we'll throw another mushroom on the barbie for ya.  (HopLow will be our
guest, pending availability.)"
Darkwing waves.
HopLow heys!!!!
