WART #75, S to the B

[sbisawesome.livejournal.com]

I keep hearing all these dedications to "SB" on the radio shows. All right, ladies, I know you know I know SB is none other than Strong Bad. Don't worry, there's enough of me to go around. Just ask Ali and Ali's sister.

I have to say, it's flattering that you ladies are all making these dedications to yours truly. I mean, I know it can't be Homsar making all these dedications. They're far too coherent! So I thought I should return the favor with a WART show dedicated to you, my many feminine admirers.



Let's kick it off with a song from yours truly BY yours truly. I did vocals as a little favor to my friends The Kinda Long-Haired Band on a song we like to call "Circles".

If that song doesn't express the kind of love I can offer you, here are some more!

Talking Heads, "Uh-Oh, Love Has Come to Town"

Steve Miller Band, "The Joker"

Talking Heads, "Love (Building on Fire)"

Team America World Police soundtrack, "Only a Woman"

Because weaponry is attractive, I bring you The Shins, "Baby Boomerang". You bring your boomerang, baby, and I'll bring my big knife. Our love slices and dices!

Then there's Coach Z, "These Peoples Try to Fade Me" --

Wait, what does that song have to do with the ladies? NOTHING. Nothing at ALL. Contrary to Coach Z's belief, no ladies are asking him how come he don't dance no more. And if they did ask him, they would be very grammatically challenged ladies and he would be welcome to them.

I'm not sure I want to think too hard about that ... uh, requests time!

Some anonymous person or other wants to hear Belly, "Sweet Ride." This person writes the following dedication: "For D. Maybe some habits can't be broken." Well, anonymous, I hope you feel very fulfilled in your devotion to a letter of the alphabet. I'll try to take comfort in knowing at least you didn't dedicate it to Coach Z.

From Miss Swan to Ah-Derek, Ashlee Simpson, "La La". Swan says, "Ah-Derek always make Swan la la with his special love bump." I'm ... not sure I want to know.

Here's a request from La Fee Verte: Outgrabe, "Love Cream Pie." That sounds kinda messy. Cleanup on aisle YOU!

Here's an anonymous request, no dedication: The Cure, "Friday I'm in Love". Personally, I believe the best day to be in love is Senorial Day. Your mileage, ladies, may vary.

To Devi, from Nny, "Victim of Victims" from A SHOGGOTH ON THE ROOF. ... What's a shoggoth? That makes about as much sense as fhqwhgads. By which I mean none at all!

It looks like Sadako's in the spirit of tonight's theme. She wants to hear Alvin and the Chipmunks singing "I'm Too Sexy". Alvin, I feel your pain.



I'm going to open the Floo lines now, just in case any of you want to confess your love. It's possible to Floo anonymously, but would you really want to? In the words of The Pixies: "Here Comes Your Man."

Highly amused, Sirius shrugged, a wide grin on his face. "I like 'sugarbob'. In fact, I think I'm gonna call you that from now on." It was also a lot easier to talk about silly nicknames than about the fact that Lily had just denied he was her boyfriend. They could have that talk later, he reckoned. "If you're sugarbob, then all three of us are S.B., you know!"

Then his grin widened. "So the songs were for me, huh?" He squeezed Lily's hand. "And here I was thinking ol' Strong Bad here was the lucky bloke with a secret admirer. Sorry, mate! Maybe this will make you feel better, though." He pulled out a Jenga block from his pocket. "Homsar gave it to me during our last Jenga game, and then he showed me a picture of you and started talking about Reggie. I figured that's his pet name for you and that he'd like to have a round of Jenga soon. So...here you go!"

He tossed the Jenga block out to Strong Bad and then turned to Lily. "By the way...I was the one dedicating the songs to you." He grinned unabashedly.

"Funky bunch," Strong Bad began -- and then a Jenga block was whizzing through the air at him. With the reflexes of a true champion he caught the block, sticking one boxing glove out like a baseball mitt, then looked down at the thing in his palm, horrified.

"Are you tellin' me that you let Homsar ... shank your Jengaship?"

Re: ::Floos In::

[toujours-sirius.livejournal.com]

"Pfffft, he did that ages ago," Sirius replied easily and then looked over at Lily. "What?" he asked innocently.

Re: ::Floos In::

[lilypotter60.livejournal.com]

Right, she'd...totally lost the train of this conversation. "Remind me to thank you for those, later," she murmured to Sirius, giving him a wicked smile. "Maybe you can shank my Jengaship." Right, she had no idea what that meant, but it sounded dirty, which was her goal. Her hand tightened on his slightly, thumb stroking his knuckles.

"And if you call me sugarbob, I'm going to call you snugglebunny." Her eyebrow arched at him smugly before she turned to Strong Bad. "Er, right. So, sorry about that, mate. I'm afraid none of those songs were for you. But, um, your WART was very nice."

Re: ::Floos In::

[sbisawesome.livejournal.com]

It definitely sounded ... questionable. Strong Bad's ignorance innocence was such that 'dirty' didn't really register with him. Besides, he was well and truly horrified.

"Man, you can keep the Jenga," he replied hastily, shoving the block back toward Sirius. "I'd rather have a wagon fulla pancakes any day. I'd rather have a mouth fulla scorpions, and that, my good man, is saying something!"

It was going to take a lot of cold ones to wash the taste of this conversation out of Strong Bad's mouth. Yeah, just focus on that happy thought. Ones that are cold.

Sirius looked at Lily out of the corner of his eye. "You sly woman, propositioning me for Jenga again! After what happened last time (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1196111.html), I would think you would've sworn off, but...all right, I'll shank your Jengaship...sugarbob." He grinned and squeezed her hand back.

With his other hand, he took the block back from Strong Bad and shrugged. "Your loss, man. A mouth fulla Homsar is one of the world's greatest gifts to mankind."

"Oh, I don't know," Lily grinned, reaching over to take the block from Sirius' hand. "I think that some of Jenga was quite nice. Wouldn't mind shanking you again. Snugglebunny."

But Strong Bad's horror was mirrored in Lily's face. "Oh, sweetheart. I really, really don't want to hear about what you've put in your mouth in the past." Really.

Re: ::Floos In::

[toujours-sirius.livejournal.com]

Sirius tsked derisively. "You don't shank a person, silly. You shank a Jengaship! Anyway, he mainly tastes like marshmallows, so it's not gross or anything. Marshmallows and world peace."

Re: ::Floos In::

[sbisawesome.livejournal.com]

Strong Bad covered his face with his boxing gloves despairingly. "No more! I don't wanna hear any more! Homsar ... and Marshie ... nooooo!"

Re: ::Floos In::

[lilypotter60.livejournal.com]

Far be it for Lily to agree with the boxing-gloved man, but... "Black, I don't care if he tasted of pudding and children's television, I don't want to know. You just...do what you have to do and make sure to brush your teeth before you come over, yeah?"

But then a slightly evil twinkle lit her eye and she tugged him down, slightly, so she could murmur in his ear, "So, can I see your Jengaship?" And by Jengaship she totally meant something else.

Sirius had been about to protest that what he did with Homsar was a beautiful thing and should be shared by all who cared about him when what Lily said next distracted him. He laughed, low and rumbly, and replied, "All in due time, my dear. All in due time." Then he tugged her back towards the fireplace. "Now I'm hungry. Wanna go back to your place and have a house-elf bring us some smores (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i270/miss__sophia/Smores.jpg) and leave this poor bloke to his sorrows?"

Re: ::Floos In::

[lilypotter60.livejournal.com]

The sentence 'Show you mine if you show me yours' was very nearly the next thing out of Lily's mouth, but she took pity on Strong Bad. Instead she simply rolled her eyes fondly. "You're always hungry," she said, following along willingly. "But I want to make the smores ourselves. We can toast them in my fireplace."

Then she smirked. "I'd like to toast your marshmallow." Looking at him, she raised her eyebrows expectantly. "See how I made that dirty?"

Re: ::Floos In::

[toujours-sirius.livejournal.com]

Making smores in Lily's fireplace sounded like a brilliant idea (assuming nobody randomly Flooed in as they were toasting the marshmallows, of course!). And while Sirius was a rather lousy cook, he certainly could handle anything to do with fire.

Visions of them sitting on a blanket in front of the fireplace, her curled up in his arms as the both of them ate smores and drank glasses of milk, had now started to play in his head and were interrupted only by Lily's terrible innuendo.

Laughing and shaking his head, he pulled her into the fireplace with him, saying, "I think you'd best leave the innuendo to me."

Re: ::Floos In::

[lilypotter60.livejournal.com]

Laughing as well as she followed after him, Lily pretended to pout. "I'm very good at innuendo. You have no idea."

The thought of them snuggled up together in front of her fire had definitely crossed Lily's mind, as well, and there wasn't a single thing in the world that sounded better at that moment. As she stepped into the fireplace, Lily said, "My room," clearly, then wrapped her arms around Sirius' neck and kissed him deeply. Because snogging while Flooing was fun. Well, to be fair, snogging him anyplace was fun. But the twirling and the green flames made for an interesting background.
