eh, weird question
Does anyone know if there's a McKay/Sheppard reworking of Notting Hill? The roommate and I were spinning this odd hypothetical world in which all the stars come to our little podunk town to hide out from the paparazzi and drive beat-up pickup trucks. That got me thinking of Notting Hill and how, like so many things in this world, it would be a weirdly appropriate AU for John and Rodney.
I mean, Rodney running a scientific bookstore and worrying about income, and John the super-famous actor and Rodney's celebrity crush wandering in to buy a book on, oh, Poincare's theorem or something, and Radek the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.
Or, you know, John running a weird secondhand book store that's all dusty and has weird stuff like the complete run of National Geographic from 1970-81 and a lot of books on flight, and Rodney the super-famous scientist and John's geeky crush wandering in looking for old scifi to mock, and Ronon the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.
Yeah.
In other news: I spent all last night and most of today feeling cranky and lame and out of sorts. But I found my passport, which has been missing for a year, and also I have had chocolate-espresso cookies and tea. Things may be looking up, at least with respect to chocolate and ability to flee the country.

You = Brilliant.
When he walks outside to the paparazzi?? Per. Fect. And his commentary throughout the movie. Hee.
All I need is a backpack full of these cookies, some underwear, and my passport, and I'm good to go!
Excellent!! :)

*sporfle!* It's actually been ages since I've seen the movie, so I've lost details, but from what I remember, it would be a lot like Radek in "The Game," being disturbingly entranced by something :D
Excellent!! :)
Of course, I would probably be stopped at customs because, let's face it, a girl carrying a backpack full of cookies and underwear is a bit strange :D But then I'd bribe the customs people with cookies, or underwear if they really wanted it, and I'd be on my way!

Yes :) And showing up in his underwear in front of alllll those cameras. Preening and posing. Hee.

With a droll delivery worthy of Teal'c, a Jedi mind trick worthy of Obi Wan, cookies that would rival Sara Lee, and underwear that would make Vicky cry... you'd have customs at your mercy ;-)

*dies! dies all over!*
underwear that would make Vicky cry...
I do have pretty cool underwear :D

"What? What?" Radek asks, smoothing a hand over the bright white fabric on the backside--a grand backside, if he did say so himself--of his y-fronts. "You did not come here for me? Is this not what you came for? Sheppard? As in baaa baaa shepherd? There are no livestock here."
While John and Rodney watch from the window, wrapped in a sheet. John's standing behind Rodney, his arms are wrapped around Rodney's waist, his scruffy-scratchy chin on Rodney's shoulder.
And now for something completely different...
I have no doubt you've got some rockin' knickers :)

Eeeeee, John's scruffy-scratchy chin!!! *is done in for the night*
I have no doubt you've got some rockin' knickers :)

:-D
(I might have been thinking about that today during my 80 mile voyage :)

That is definitely a good thing to take with you, on any trip! Scruffy-scratchy John frequently accompanies me on my 2-day, 900-mile drives to my parents' house :D
no subject
Hee. You win for distance :)
Oh yes! Sruffy John and snuffly Rodney (and the boys laughing) were my company on the drive back today.
