Fourth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening, The Barry Gibb Talk Show

[onapalebicycle]

The fourth floor common room had been transformed. Do not ask how the best talk show hosts ever had found a disco ball to hang from the ceiling, one that showed off their matching white double-breasted pantsuits. They were here to sing about politics and chew bubble gum, and they were all out of gumThere were chairs arranged in a semi-circle, for

Barry Gibb Talk Show: Guests

[onapalebicycle]

Ping into this thread if you'd like to be a guest on the Barry Gibb Talk Show.

This means that Barry will ask you relevant political questions of the day and threaten you with bodily harm for your answers. Not because they are wrong, but because he is Barry Effin Gibb.

Also, he'll assume that you're some political figure or pundit that Squall-mun and I pick entirely at random, unless you have a preference, in which case mention it OOC and we'll roll with it, zomg.

Also, Robin and Barry will sing the person's name as an intro. Which is why one of you is going to be Cruz Bustamante.

It had been a somewhat troubling day in class, which had led to Dorothy Gale forging out to find some sort of good company that evening. The poor girl had no idea what she was in for when she came into that common room some two floors above her own.

"Hello?" she said, trying to politely interrupt. She was hoping to make friends.

"La-dies and gent-le-men," Barry announced in a staccato voice that wasn't quite falsetto, wasn't quite singing, and wasn't anything at all like the real Barry Gibb's actual speaking voice. "Our first guest to-night -- tonight, oh, tonight -- is the governor of South Car-o-li-na -- LI-NA -- Nikki Haley."

"Nikki Ha-ley, Ha-ley, South Car-o-li-na, LI-NA, yeah, yeah!" Robin chorused behind Barry, harmonizing perfectly.

Okay, Robin was a little flat. They should have rehearsed the name intros.

Barry Gibb Talk Show: Audience

[onapalebicycle]

The SNL skit did not have audience participation, because it had time constraints. Fuck that noise.

Ping into this thread if you would like to ask questions of Barry Effin Gibb or Robin or any of the guests. Please note that this also means Barry will threaten you with bodily harm. It is just how he rolls.

Barry Gibb Talk Show: Lurking Near the Back

If you want to stand near the door with a camcorder and/or point and giggle or anything else that goes in the general spectator idea that doesn't fit above, do it here. This thread may escape the wrath of Barry Effin Gibb. May.

Freddie was thanking his lucky stars that he had one of his cameras with him when he'd come into the common room.

He'd just be back there... filming. And laughing.

"Hey!" Barry shouted, standing up and pointing at Freddie. "HEY!!! What do you think you're doing back there!??!"

"Saving this for posterity?" Freddie said with a tentative grin.

Barry Gibb Talk Show: Wait, WHAT?

[onapalebicycle]

This thread is for when the brothers Gibb realize they aren't disco superstar talk show hosts but rather are teenage students who just humiliated themselves in off-white pantsuits. Schadenfreude is yummy.

Barry Gibb Talk Show: OOC

[onapalebicycle]

The Barry Gibb Talk Show is an SNL skit -- you can see clips on Hulu (that is just one of four or five) but for people who can't see Hulu because of permissions nonsense, it's harder. NBC vids come down from YouTube fairly quickly, so the only one I can find on there is here.

... we have been planning this for a while, and RL has been insane, so we are seizing the opportunity.
