Careers Fair, Fandom High Front Lawn, Friday Afternoon, 07/21/06

By lunch time, the booths were set up, the guests had arrived and there was quaint music playing from somewhere undetermined. Hawkeye is walking around with one of those portable microphone/speaker set-ups, roaming from booth to booth announcing the various guests that have come to Fandom to talk about their professions.

And despite what the mainland weather forecast said, it was definitely a nice, fine day.

"Well my hair stylist Audrey would like to say that she's the one responsible. But I'm the man behind it all. Good genetics and lots of Aqua Net is all it takes." says Ron, once again brushing a hand through his hair.

"And as for the mustache...well, that's all man right there. You need testicles of steel to grow a mustache like this."

He places a plastic box on the table. "Lucky for you I brought free fake mustaches for everyone. Take one and feel the power. Women will flock to you like seagulls after a ham sandwich."

Marty politely takes the mustache and considers wearing it. "What's it like to have an insider's perspective of the news? To witness it first hand and then present it to the public?"

"It's harder than it looks. You have to get the right tone of each story. You don't want to look happy when you're reporting a story on a landslide. says Ron "I got in trouble for that one. It looked like chocolate milk. I couldn't help myself."

"Sometimes I don't know whether or not the story is supposed to be happy or sad. So I alternate between smiles and frowns."

Hamlet grabs a fake mustache from the box, and looks it over.

"What are these mustaches made from?"

"Our weatherman Brick Tamland was nice enough to donate those mustaches." explains Ron "I didn't ask him what they were made of. He's killed a few guys so I'm guessing it might be from them. News casting can be very dangerous."

Ron smiled and laughed a very forced laugh. "I'm kidding. As far as you know."

Hamlet nods, and starts putting the 'stache down.

"I have have to pass on these. I suppose I may not be man enough to wear a mustache of this caliber."

"You're a good man to admit it." says Ron "Maybe you can be a weatherman. You can read a map can't you?"

Ron wasn't sure that reading a map was necessary either. Brick once pointed to Texas and said that it was Candyland.

"Oh yes, I'm far better at reading maps that I am with mustaches. Is there much of a career for weathermen, even with a lack of facial hair aptitude?"

"Oh heck yes!" exclaims Ron "A weatherman is an important part of the news team. I wish I brought Brick with me. Well, I did, but he's in the car. Can't exactly leave him anywhere on his own."

"Don't worry, I left the window open a crack."

"That's very good of you. You wouldn't wish for him to get heat stroke while you were in here, informing us inquisitive students of the wonders of telejournalism."

He pauses. "Although if he did pass out, I would be able to get some first-hand insight into what it would be like to be a weatherman."
