Honey and Sis, worldcasting from their travelling surprise shortwave worldcaster somewhere in Wisconsin

[Mise en scene: The two are taking stock of a kitschy pamphlet about "The Cheese Lifestyle" as was picked up at a jumble sale] SIS: Having seen that particular brochure about "The Cheese Lifestyle," which, I presume, dates from about the mid-1970's, makes you wonder just what exactly this "Cheese Lifestyle" is. HONEY: And whether such can be imagined as somewhat Wisconsin-centric, or whether the tourists can be imagined as ideal candidates therefor. SIS: As if bovine-related ephemera like tacky postcards and refrigerator magnets in many Wisconsin convenience stores, gas stations and gift shops wasn't weird enough--never mind that they may not exactly sell cheese, to begin with! HONEY: At least in the manner of a stereotypical cheese shop, one which, in an earlier time, would have had signage every couple miles or so to call motorists' attention to same. SIS: But at least you have a couple of decent cheese shops in the Dells area, one designed in a rather campy manner for mainly touristic ends and the other somewhat logically logical. Who said Wisconsin Dells was but waterslides anyway?

So imagine the radio receiving Honey and Sis' surprise shortwave worldcasting station while having the old exercise with the Mocha-Java Jive....

[sohannabarberaesque]

Imagine picking up Honey and Sis on THIS shortwave set, as if having an 8-track player as well wasn't good enow:

[sohannabarberaesque]

Meanwhile, who recalls the HBTV music-video segments during The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera Sunday mornings?

(In much the same spirit, I've been known to imagine giving Radio Disney some competition with a shortwave station I'd call "Radio Hanna-Barbera," featuring an eclectic music selection. That, and picturing Honey and Sis, formerly of The Hanna-Barbera Happy Hour, having a pop-up shortwave worldcasting station worldcasting when the shortwave listening confraternity least expects it, operating from a rebuilt GMC motorhome.)

[sohannabarberaesque]

If ever there was a most distinctive sort of radio to imagine picking up Honey and Sis' surprise shortwave worldcasts on (so long as this radio was designed to receive shortwave signals), this would have to be it.

Or would it?

General Electric Blue Max radio, model P2760B, made in 1970.

Originally released in 1969. The inside lights up

Overheard via the surprise shortwave worldcaster of Honey and Sis, even allowing for its 50 watts of Effective Irradiated Power

HONEY, oblivious: So the Pumpkin Spice Life is essentially upon us all, and even at our shortwave worldcasting station, we can't help but be immune to its spell. SIS: Or its oblivious presence. Even to the point of adding pumpkin pie spice to the ground coffee ere we brew it ... or fixing pumpkin bars like outright maniacs; even then, some of the overseas listeners may tend to be unacquainted aside from the fact of Starbucks Coffee helping stimulate the annual exercise in pumpkin spice stimulation! HONEY: And you wonder if the addition of pumpkin pie spice to the coffee is actually worth it, to begin with....

During an on-air interview vis-a-vis The Banana Splits and Honey and Sis over the latter's surprise shortwave worldcaster

BINGO: I certainly can't help but recall that time you worldcast one of our concerts at the Rex Beach Casino, and the ensuing reaction by way of reception reports ... some 36 countries represented as having listened in! SIS: No doubt it was "some kind of a summer," to borrow from the songwriter there, back at Rex Beach, up among Minnesota's World-Renowned and Far-Famed Ten Thousand Lakes ... HONEY: And in the face of a pandemic scenario, come to think of it! FLEEGLE: Still, being the leader of The Banana Splits compels me to mention where this appearance at the Rex Beach Casino was one with seeking to redeem ourselves from that rather gross, tasteless and uncalled-for horror film treatment ... as well as help bring back an otherwise faltering summer resort as certainly needed it! DROOPER: You can say that again ... SNORKY: [Incessant honking] FLEEGLE: And just remember that "casino" in this context means "hall of amusement," with no gambling implied whatsoever! HONEY, with a touch of sarcasm: Thanks for the aide-memoire there! SIS: And I take it you're essentially on a Road Trip of Redemption from that horror film treatment ... so what exactly is that entailing? BINGO: Witness our rebuilt school bus transformed into a tour bus and mobile bivouac of sorts, otherwise known as "the CoolBus"! SIS: That we have to see ...

[sohannabarberaesque]

So what could Honey and Sis be talking about on another surprise shortwave worldcast of theirs?

Here are all my three sentences for my SFH WIPS. This was really fun!

honey, you're familiar: mjjw

Tagging: @kallisto-k, @somefishycat :)

A bridal dress for her all-seeing eyes, as though she doesn’t know the exact brutality of her decisions. 

She purses her lips, the sleeves of her robe curling up as she pushes them back. She pushes the photos aside, picking up the dress with sharp nails. Underneath them all lies the one thing that matters, the one thing that her boy really wanted her to see. 

In Seo Moonjo’s usual scrawl lies just two words, heavy with meaning. 

Proof, halmae. 

2. growing black irises: mjjw

Tagging: @zyrafowe-sny

It’s late now, the sky dark and polluted blue, but the heat lingers, wrapping around his skin from the moment he stepped outside. Moonjo–if it weren’t for the clammy warmth in his hands, Jongwoo would’ve thought he was an alien by the way he stood, unbothered by the heat of summer. He doesn’t know how Moonjo’s functioning in that sweater; Jongwoo would’ve walked outside naked before he wore a sweater like that one.

3. femslash mjjw

Tagging: @quietly-sleeping, @saiditallbefore

Finding a residence is easier said than done; the search is tedious and long. Jiwoo feigns smiles and appreciation at expensive cages; drinks bitter coffee and makes a clean exit when the subject of rent comes up. She had made a list before coming, but the list soon revealed itself to be a growing mountain of unaffordability. Sweat soaks the back of her t-shirt as Jiwoo pushes her suitcase in front of her after the fourth residence. She can smell it, the weight of her exhaustion.

Jieun still hasn’t called back. Jiwoo left multiple messages, but doubts if her estranged friend would see them. A familiar bitterness works its way into Jiwoo’s mind, scratching against her throat.

4. cut clean from the dream at night: jongwoo character study, implied mjjw

Tagging: @twyrewolf, @tamsinswriting, @oriharaizayadividesintoslytherin

He’d been a liar–that’s for sure–but he had not lied about this. 

Perhaps that was because 304 had never told Jongwoo about his house. (Or really, he might have–Jongwoo’s memory was hardly the one to trust.) A house that 304 had bought shortly before Jongwoo’s arrival in Seoul. Fairly close to his clinic; an apartment. Decently sized and expensive. The events at Eden had put all of 304’s possessions into focus; the clinic was boarded up, the apartment building as a whole gained a bad name. You don’t expect a friendly neighbourhood dentist to turn out to be a vicious murderer. Eden and 304 were the talk of the town for many of the months after.

why when I’m gone does @ilikemiddleagedmarvelchar

Get into a fight with hydra

[sohannabarberaesque]

I assume that the back part of this GMC motorhome would be as much the living quarters of Honey and Sis as their ur-studio for that surprise shortwave worldcaster of theirs, with one of the closets housing a rather compact (and homebuilt as well) transmitter in service to same.

There's nothing in this world that will ever be better than my 60-year-old Italian literature professor reciting a futurist poem.

I've reached my peak. We've never laughed more in this classroom.
