Entry 23 [Audio]

[usedsuitup]

[Barney is working at the pokemart today. Mostly stocking shelves but otherwise generally being helpful. Really, retail seems to suit him even though he doesn't like it. But, he's keeping his distance from the Radio Tower for the moment. Something about them not liking how he just sort of ran off. And how he may have used one of their booths without permission.

But Barney is filled with Christmas cheer. Despite being away from home, for the second time, he loves this time of year. And what better way to celebrate than by singing. And so, over the network, not unpleasantly, comes that classic Australian Christmas song:]

Six white boogers, snow white boogers
Racing Santa's sleigh through the blazing snot
Six white boogers, snow white boogers
On his Australian run.

Really? I thought they were common knowledge. Sort of. Where are you from anyway?

And yeah, I know tons more.

That's 'cause it's a Stinson Original. Gotta give credit to Rolf Harris for the original song though.

Technically Kangaroos, but I modified the lyrics a bit.

Think you mean Australian, bro.

[So is Barney. True Story.]

Always a classic. That was probably going to be my next tune if it came up on the radio.

Uh- whatever. Uh, huh huh huh.

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

Wait, the radio actually plays Christmas music here? Last time I turned mine on, it was almost identical to the normal background stuff.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Something similar to Christmas music at least. It's playing over the speakers in the Department store.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Seriously, bro? Knowing these things is a big help. Chicks dig a guy who knows trivia like this.

Well, before getting here I was living in Japan. I don't remember listening to mock versions of Christmas songs there.

[Also, considering that was his first Earth!X-Mas, he didn't get to experience everything the holiday has to offer.]

[noodlegoggles]

What was the original song about?

[craftingrebel]

[he quirks his brows] Kangaroos?

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

That makes sense. Even in some weird parallel universe, department stores play seasonal music until you're sick of it.

Kind of comforting, really.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yeah, in a way. Though it's been a long time since I worked retail.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yeah. See, the song is called Six White Boomers because Australians call kangaroos boomers, for some reason or another. It's pretty easy to modify the words.

[voice]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

I think it was about a joey trying to get back to his mom and Santa helping...or something? It's Australian.

Japan? Really? Never would have guessed. There's a lot of you guys around.

Guess they'd all be in Japanese if there are any.

*giggling and singing along, congrats Barney you just taught him a song his brother will hate!*

Boogers!

[youfartknocker.livejournal.com]

Uh... really? Uh, huh huh huh.

Give me some more trivia. Uh, huh huh huh.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Sure, about what?

[Most of it is probably going to be made up btw]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

[Just as planned. Except not really, but it's an added bonus]

It's a good one, isn't it?

[youfartknocker.livejournal.com]

[ he wouldn't know the difference ]

Uh- what do chicks like? Uh, huh huh huh.

[simple-toon.livejournal.com]

It's the best! Booger booger booger!

Where'd you hear it?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Good question.

In my research I've found that chicks like a lot of stuff and it is extremely varied, and yet, 83% inevitably like the same things. Flowers and chocolates are usually good starting points, the more expensive the better. Also Noticing things about them, as well as good clothing. Showing interest is extremely important.

Made it up myself.
