Alrighty. Jen already has a great list composed on her site, but what are Newsie-crazy things you've done on your own, or in a group? It's alright if it's on her list, but tell us the insane fandoms you've created! I'll start, and then, have fun!
I told a kid on my bus I'd soak him if he didn't leave me alone. And no, he didn't have a clue what I meant.

I was at softball practice and I was running the bases while people went over plays. I was standing on first getting ready to go, and I decided to walk up the the girl playing first base and go, "Oh yea, yea? What is dis, some kinda walkin' mouth?"... it was really funny
o yes, and at random times, i'll just break out into songs from it...
I also asked my geometry teacher if she had ever seen newsies or even doogie howser, m.d.!! she told me that she has seen doogie... hehe!!

Oh gosh lets see... well, when i get angry i start talking in a New Jersey Accent (dont ask me why i have done it since i was little, never even been to Jersey either) and so one day my mom was making fun of me for it, and i started talkin New Yoiker, and i told her i'd soak her.
I get slapped in the head twice a day in math class for singing Newsies, i sing so much, i caught my teacher (Mr.Victor) singing Seize the Day the other morning when i went in for help.
At softball practice, i wasnt paying attention (nothing new there), and my coach was like
"So Kettner, what do you say?" And i was freaking out cause i hadnt been listening for.... oh 30 minutes or so (my coach tends to ramble about pointless things its not my fault!) and i was jsut like
"I say, that what you say, is what i say"
It made everyone laugh, but i had to run extra laps. Tehe, ti was fun though, i got to run with the baseball boys, 2 of which i go to church class with, and have known since i was 3.

One time I was at soccer practice and I was singing Carrying the Banner to my friend Mallory. Let's just say she's not the biggest fan of Newsies. So I was kinda near the beginning again (I was singing it over and over) and she goes "Omg will you shut up!?" and the next line in the song was "For a buck I might!!!" and I sang it really loud. Its not that great of a story, it was just so perfect that that was the next line and it fit with what she was yelling at me. Ok I'm done.

Haha! Sparks- that was great. Awesome timing.
My next story. Playing the CD while cleaning the house... and having my mom be the one to press the repeat button because she now loves the songs too.

--I wrote my National History Day research paper on "The 1899 Newsboys' Strike against the World". And I won 1st place in PA Regionals. (I met a couple of *gasp* GUYS who did some Newsies stuff in the States competition) And I dressed up as a newsie at the states competition. It was lovely.
--I sing Newsies whenever I feel like singing. Like at school, in the car, mowing the lawn...
--I plan on making people where I'm going to volunteer pick out nicknames for themselves. And I'm definately going to pick a newsie one. I just don't know which.
--I ask for newsies stuff for every holiday. Soon, my newsie outfit will be complete!

Ohh! I thought of another one!! haha... We had to do a composer paper for choir, and I chose Alan Menken (the composer for Newsies and other Disney movies) and you had to talk about one of the choral pieces he's done. I chose Seize the Day!

yea! there are so many! I found this on this site: disney.go.com/DisneyRecords/Biographies/Menken_Bio.html(it's a disney bio page thing...) here is what it says: In 1983, the composer received the BMI Career Achievement Award for a body of work for the musical theater. His includes Little Shop of Horrors, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, Real Life Funnies, Atina: Evil Queen of the Galaxy (produced in workshop as "Battle of the Giants"), "Patch, Patch, Patch," and contributions to numerous revues including Personals and Diamonds. So there you go!! If that helps...
