#honey and sis

As heard over the shortwave audio radiance of Honey and Sis' travelling surprise shortwave worldcaster:

SIS, with a slight twinge of anxiety: It seems that we haven't heard from our correspondent out of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch for some time now-- HONEY, trying to be the pragmatist: I just hope nothing untoward or otherwise unnerving has ensued back in Wales. SIS: I do happen to know where this [going to the phonetic spelling] Lima-Lima-Alpha-November-Foxtrot-Alpha-India-Romeo-Papa-Whisky-Lima-Lima-Golf-Whisky-Yankee-November-Golf-Yankee-Lima-Lima-Golf-Oscar-Golf-Echo-Romeo-Yankee-Charlie-Hotel-Whisky-Yankee-Romeo-November-Delta-Romeo-Oscar-Bravo-Whisky-Lima-Lima-Lima-Lima-Alpha-November-Tango-Yankee-Sierra-India-Lima-India-Oscar-Golf-Oscar-Golf-Oscar-Golf-Oscar-Charlie-Hotel is! [Honey can be heard giggling through Sis' phoneticised spelling of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, as if hoping the QSL reports forthcoming, if any, will so note] HONEY, trying to talk through the laughter: At any rate, who exactly is "Charlie-Hotel"?

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

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?

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

[sohannabarberaesque]

Imagine one of these managing to pick up on Honey and Sis rather suddenly on an otherwise predictable night ...

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 ...

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

[steelthroat]

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.

[sohannabarberaesque]

Which may shed some insight into my habit, from time to time, of imagining Honey and Sis (formerly of The Hanna-Barbera Happy Hour, now themselves travelling in a rebuilt GMC motorhome as also does yeoman duty as a surprise shortwave worldcasting station) making reference to the mythic English seaside resort of Mixingham-on-Sea and the legendary Welsh village of--wait for it--Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch after supposedly receiving QSL (reception) reports from listeners who luckily picked up the surprise worldcaster of considerable reach for considerably low power. On a home-built transmitter, besides!

(Uncle Ezra, eat your heart out.)

Thinking about the differences between Mako and Honey as One Piece SI OCs, and immediately, I already know that Honey is a golden child. She gave Ginny and Kuma no shit, because she'd feel absolutely awful, even with the boredom.

Mako has no shame, because growing up on a ship full of men who like to drink and party and also Shanks being the designated papa was already "time to make my own entertainment"

Because Shanks kinda deserves it but also consider: it's fucking funny.

Mako will never eat a devil fruit, while Honey legit was gunning for one. She just didn't mean to eat a zoan fruit lmao.

Lowkey, she wanted the Ope Ope no Mi, but she knew that was a lost cause, so she settled on finding a fruit instead that would help her nab Law because seriously, she's trying to avoid having Kuma make that deal that has him sacrifice everything just so Bonney could live.

Because Honey does want her to live, but she also wants her Dad to live too. She wants it all. She's a selfish person in certain ways, but overall, she just wants a better outcome.

Unfortunately, life sucks. Timeline ain't on her side cuz she was too young (she's like at least 19 before the time skip, so you do the math).

At the very least, you should expect some shenanigans cuz you better fuckibg believe she asked her Mama to teach her how to wiretap, so boom.

Corazon lives and is part of the Heart Pirates.

Downside, Doffy still has a fucking hold on Dressrosa and has his eye on Honey, the little brat for trying to ruin his shit cuz boy oh boy, do you think he didnt know his snails were tapped??

Mako meanwhile has Law adding a sharp smile to the tattoos on his back, lmao. Law misses her.

But also, I guess I can give a small spoiler.

Corazon also survives here, the difference is that Sengoku has kept him under wraps and he's stayed under the radar for his own benefit.

You know that scene in Dressrosa with Sabo and Luffy?

That, but with Corazon and Law.

I can be nice sometimes. It'll still hurt tho, but ye.
