SGA thought for the morning

[aesc]

Oddly, this came to me as I was putting on makeup and turning over anna_luna's kid!AU artpiece, "Hide and Seek," and how I really don't want to think about the things I have to do today.

Rodney and John are Calvin and Hobbes.

Yeah. Rodney's (ego)maniacal, loves science and (apparently) science fiction, goes to strange alien worlds, has a double from an alternate dimension come visit him, has a wild imagination, delusions of grandeur and persecution, and a strong sense of entitlement.

John is tall, fuzzy with lots of messy hair, and is as likely to be the enabler as the voice of reason.

The balcony scene in "Hide and Seek"? Total Calvin & Hobbes moment.

This, of course, means that, when they take over Atlantis, Rodney gets to be dictator-for-life. John gets to be First Tiger.

Hm.

I should go to work now.

They wouldn't be saving the day, they'd be running interference so that he could do his research without being disturbed. He'd assign one to check all his meals for citrus, one to attend briefings, one to do jumper maintenance, one to go on missions...

I can see Atlantis collapsing under the weight of the collective bitching...

Rodney 1: Ahhhh, a day off at last. Wonder what the others are up to...

Rodney 2: Look, do you KNOW what citric acid does to me in even minute quantities? Do you KNOW what anaphylactic shock looks like???
Rodney 7: *pontificate pontificate* Colonel, pay attention *pontificate* No, see, if we do that? We're all going to DIE. Horribly. *pontificate pontificate*
Rodney 16: *inflicts his "Why weren't your parents sterilized?" expression on hapless scientist*
Rodney 20: Why can't we visit a planet with, you know, public transportation that isn't a mule cart? Or at least paved roads? And who the hell took the last chocolate power bar because all that's left is raisin and I don't like raisin...
Rodney 33-59: OH MY GOD WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!
Rodney 65: Colonel, remind me again why it is the Air Force lets you fly things? This is an advanced piece of technology, not your mom's minivan.

&c. &c. &c.

And I just checked the wiki about other uses for the cardboard box: when you attach tinkertoys and a colander it becomes a Cerebral Enhance-o-tron.

Rodney with a Cerebral Enhance-o-tron.

Rodney with a Cerebral Enhance-o-tron.

I think something needs to be done with this, because this image is just TOO TOO GOOD. Text cannot contain the coolness.

I was thinking personally, but I do agree that it's an understatement. Words just fail.
