Spike: You know, The Menagerie was left out of Hoolefest 006.
Dandd blinks blankly.
Spike: That’s kinda @#$%ed up, they’re…you know…henchesqe.
Dandd opens his mouth to speak, but chooses not to instead.
Spike: Although they do tend to whine less.
Even Dandd had to chuckle a bit.
Spike: I think MDQ should put on a show at the menagerie.
Dandd: For the critters?
Spike roars: Totally, dood! I think I should do a pre-show hype event…thing.
Dandd: MDQ needs more hype?
Spike ponders: Probably not, but yeah.
Dandd shakes his head.
Spike: It’ll be awesome Dood. I’ll broadcast it through WOOF – All Bark, all the time!
Dandd: W.O.O.F?
Spike: @#$%in A, boss.
Dandd: Q.
Spike: Them too.
Dandd snorts with laughter.
Spike: You know, WOOF? They’re Barkwoolfandgrowl’s hit radio station.
Dandd: Bark-What-and-growls?
Spike: Exactly. They broadcast from the capital: Chokengagen.
Dandd’s jaw rattles off of the floor.
Spike: The last Big hit was a song called “The Middle One” by the Larch.
Dandd: The Larch?
Spike: All Bark All the Time!
Dandd: woof.
Spike: Exactly!
Dandd slaps his own forehead and groans.
Spike: I think I’ll have to call myself “Rufus” just for the critters.
Dandd: Wait. You’re Rufus, bringing all the hit Bark on WOOF?
Spike: No no no! You have to howl when you say RUFUS!
Dandd scowls: I’m not howling.
Spike pouts: You’re no fun.
Dandd: Georgia might howl.
Spike ponders again: all radio personalities need a tagline. What should Rufus’ tagline be?
The two toss ideas back and forth a bit.
Dandd: I Got it!
Spike leans forward with interest.
Dandd: I wouldn’t have been an adventurer like you, but I left my knee in my other pants.
Spike: I like it! …but critters don’t wear pants.
Dandd counters: But Trogdor has a beefy arm.
Spike cheers: You win this round, old man.
Dandd strokes his beard with pride.
Spike: I need to go set up my booth!
Dandd /shoo: Go! Barketh here no more.
Spike: What about Balreth?
Dandd: No, Bark- Nevermind. Just go, and enjoy.
Spike cheers loudly and runs out of Wiki screaming for Simon.
Once Spike is out of earshot, Dandd breaks up in laughter at his desk.
Dandd speaks to himself aloud: I should go warn Nyx before she thinks another cult has formed under her feet. Crysania too for that matter. Hell, let’s make an Assemble! call out of this. Maybe I can convince Balreth to pull out some his old Wolf Tunics…
Dandd grabs his grail and his staff and moves to head out.
Jeni yells from her chair: What’ju gonna do?
Dandd grins to himself: Bark at the Moon.
Jeni sighs loudly to herself as Dandd leaves, grinning.

Notes: Spike doesn’t know the meaning of defeat, and it’s contagious. Beware of leaving stuff in your other pants.
