Summary: Chivalry and snark... a potentially deadly combination...

Had you been watching 'Return of the King' before you wrote this because... "So, Rodney resolved, the sword must be purely ornamental. They couldn't actually expect him to use it... could they?" Is more than a little like Pippin's reaction at being given armour! Not that I'm complaining. Great humour potential - must read on!

Tee hee! That's it. I'm now going to be singing 'snarkt he Magic Dragon' all day. Come to think of it - that might be a good idea for a song parody! Anyway - loved this.... " Something about that accent tugged at Rodney's mind. "Carson?"" Very Shrek! Except Paul McGillion's accent is better!

Summary: Somehow, the math didn't matter when he was with him.

This is brilliant! I giggled the whole way through. Here are my favourite lines…. “McKay was the only person Sheppard knew who had to be reminded to breathe.” - so true! “….his natural habitat was with the Beakers rather than with the Jugheads….” - the Beakers! I love it! But shouldn’t ‘Jugheads’ rather be ‘Jarheads’? “….the chief of the Beaker People….” - hee hee, makes Rodney sound like the leader of some undiscovered South American tribe. Actually, come to think of it, wasn’t there a pre-historic people group named ‘the Beaker People’? Just Googled it – ah my memory’s not as bad as I thought! Makes the term funnier now that I know its provenance. “The latest pet project, which was something to do with Supa-Soakers if you listened to Ford but more than likely something to do with jet propulsion units…” - Poor Ford. He’s not very bright….. “Sheppard watched as eleven scientists stared at him as if he had suddenly ceased speaking one of the 8 languages spoken in the room. “Go! I’m liberating you!”” - Makes him sound like someone freeing an animal who’s reluctant to escape its cage! It’s so lovely that John saved cake for Rodney – although the whole ‘cake’ thing is getting a little into O’Neill territory….! I’ll have to go look and see if you’ve written anything else now….

Author's Response: Yes, I've been meaning to change that for ages, but then my appendix exploded so I got a little side tracked.

Summary: Major Sheppard ponders the best way to approach McKay

I love the whole chocolate conversation. 3 kinds of Mars bars! Seriously - American Mars bars have almonds in? That's not right! And I agree with Carson - Hershey's kisses ARE foul - someone at work decided to punish us with some not so long ago. Actually I agree with Carson about everything on his list - Lindt, Green and Blacks, Dairy Milk, Milky Ways ARE for kids, and MARMITE! Had the pleasure of inflicting Marmite on a bunch of Americans (and one Canadian) last year. Can't understand why they didn't like it... Do you think I might have just given my nationality away.....? You've pushed one of my buttons - the 'two nations divided by a common language one' - that I love to have fun with. And seeing as I have plans to go to Canada this autumn things can only get worse! As for American KitKats being in orange wrappers - that's just WRONG - they're supposed to match full fat Coca Cola cans..... Hmm, not so much of a review as a Rodney-like rant! Loving your story - I'm going to get back to it.

Author's Response: This was by far the most popular chapter in this fic! Glad you appreciated it too. Hershey's kisses are VILE!

Oh darn, I've gone and done that whole back button/refresh button combination that makes reviews appear twice - AGAIN! Apologies.

Summary: John and Rodney engage in some recreational war games.

That was hot! Not convinced that Rodney would ever be able to match John that way, but you told it well, the style being refreshing. Well done.

Summary: Rodney is behaving oddly.

Excuse me whilst I dissolve from the sheer hilarious embarrassment in this little gem! Brings a whole new meaning to that Marvin Gaye song, eh? All together now... *When I get that feeling, I want...*

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you!

Summary: Rodney is fixated and bored. John notices.

So funny, so them and great - NOT PERFECT! Laughing, snarking, picking at each other - now that's what we love about our boys! Definitely one for the favourites.....

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm pleased you liked it.

Summary: Elizabeth's PoV on certain 'events' happening under her command

John and Rodney's relationship from a 3rd person POV... how refreshing! I felt warmed to the very cockles of my heart. Well done!

Summary: Elizabeth has decided to create a bulletin board for the posting of important notices. This series of ficlets, drabbles, and other madness is the result.

'I have suspended the hippocratic oath until further notice' SNORK!

'I respectfully request that he present his evidence. Oh wait, I forgot -- he doesn’t have any.' That's SO McKay. As for the Highlander thing -half-an-hour I discovered where I'd put my Brian May autograph. Hey, It's a Kind of Magic!

...he just speaks very quickly in a language I am not familiar with, and then mutters “Carson and Rodney sitting in a tree…” I do not understand. Why are you and Dr. Beckett climbing the vegetation?' That's so Teyla and Rodek is SO evil! I love this!

'This from someone who eats stuffed sheep intestines.' Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it McKay! I currently have some haggis sitting in my freezer.... and I'm not Scottish!

McKay has some serious competition for the title of 'Bitching Champion of Atlantis' - one Dr Carson Beckett MD. ME-OW!

Stab him with a fork... you mean Sheppard's been successful in training him to use cutlery?

That would be the Folsom Prison Blues.....

'Although, as long as we’re talking about other sports, why don’t we try soccer (the real football).' Thank you Carson!!!
