i messed up

i was going though all of my 5 things posts (kind of a long story) & realized i forgot one. it's probably more than one, but this one that stuck in my mind (i don't know why. it was way back in 2011) & i can't find any posting of it here.
plus i really messed up the numbering, jumping from 145 to154. but the dates indicate that there was only a couple of weeks between postings, so it's most likely just a numbering error & not a bunch of skipped ones. it's too much of a hassle to fix, so i'm just going to leave it. anyway, here's the one that i (remember) that i missed.

The five most interesting alternate teams that came through the gate in 'Ripple Effect'.

the team that came from an earth where germany had won world war 2. they all spoke german & were part of a resistance movement against the nazis.

the one that came from matriarchal society. they had some trouble taking directions from males.

the team that came from a world where the people had a speech pattern like yoda. it got on everyone's nerves after awhile.

the one from an earth that had been mostly conquered by rome in ancient times. they spoke latin & carried short swords.

the team that came from a world in the middle of world war 3. it took a lot to make them go back.

five things #195 (1) final

5 times elizabeth felt like she was running a kindergarten

a couple of the exploration teams got into a name-calling match that got childish very quickly.

a few scientists got cranky in the afternoons, until elizabeth suggested naps.

some people had a hard time with the concept of “sharing.”

sometimes a disagreement ended with someone sticking their tongue out at the other person.

elizabeth wishes she had a dollar for every time she heard a “did not!” “did too!” exchange.

5 pegasus dishes sheppard could not eat.

john was told it was a desert. frankly, it looked like crap on a plate. maybe it was like the finnish mämmi, but he wasn’t taking any chances. john snuck his portion back on the platter with the rest of it.

they said it was an ale of some sort. it was like a thick milkshake & smelled like cat pee. john dumped it back into the pitcher when no one was looking.

the stuff looked like a pile of cooked ground beef, but had a grey slime on it. john gave it to a dog-like animal that was hanging around.

it looked like the bowl was filled with very large rice krispies. they were making crackling noises, but no milk had been poured on them & john was sure a couple of them moved. he pretended to trip, spilling the whole bowl on the ground.

the fruit looked kind of like an apple, but had a rind similar to an orange. once peeled, the smell reminded john of diesel fuel & the part you were supposed to eat was sort of fuzzy. ronon seemed to be enjoying his, so john gave it to him.

five things #184

Five things that go wrong on an average day at the SGC 

they always run out of something. copy paper, blue jello & band aids top the list. 

someone gets hurt in a, usually preventable, accident. slipping on a wet floor or over doing a workout. 

things get misplaced. usually important stuff like a report that a department head wants yesterday. 

stuff breaks. and it takes 10-12 weeks to get a replacement. after filling out the request in triplicate. 

 the laundry ruins or loses some article of clothing. often right before an important meeting.

Five things Jack told himself in order to stay sane

it could be worse. he wasn't sure how, but it could be worse.

jack reminded himself that millions of people on hundreds of worlds went though things every day that break a lesser person.

it would be over soon. one way or another.

jack reminded himself that he was not alone, he had his team with him.

when all else failed, he ran though simpson episodes in his head.

Five things Teyla dreams about

she dreams about earth a lot.

teyla often dreams of being the matriarch of a large clan. the number of children & grand (sometimes great-grand) children vary, but her team members (and their offspring) are always included.

she dreams of the combat lessons she had in her youth. in these dreams she forgets what to do & she is quickly disarmed.

teyla dreams of flying around atlantis like a bird & swimming through the nearby waters like a fish.

she dreams about the wraith far too often for her taste.
