ahahaha, that was awesome on many levels.

(also, I squeed a little at Chuck being RCMP, even though I don't know what their ranks are at all)

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

Chuck the Mountie is definitely squee-worthy.

[kyrdwyn.livejournal.com]

O.o

Amorous Koala?

(also? Flame Breathing Squid FTW)

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

Amorous Koala (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/579914.html), or, That Mission John Would Rather Forget.

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Haha, Chuck is making the most of the situation, I see. :D

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

If by "making the most of it" you mean "trying to keep these morons from killing us all" and "insuring his place in the future regime," then yes. :D

[ceitie.livejournal.com]

I can't wait until someone reads over these notes later. Hee! Flame-breathing squid!

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure anyone does read them, except Chuck. Maybe Teyla does, she's responsible like that, and Lorne, because he finds paperwork soothing (and because God knows Sheppard isn't going to do it).

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

1) Having Chuck be RCMP makes a reasonable amount of sense and I wish I'd thought of it.
2) That last line is priceless.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

It was a stroke of genius on my part, wasn't it? I love the last line, too, just for how matter-of-fact it is. Poor Chuck. Five years ago, he never had to deal with flame-breathing squid, and they never would have seemed normal.

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

It really was. :3

[korilian.livejournal.com]

I love that they're sneaking around Earth's back. Conspiring Atlantis style: bumbling about until they get caught (but that was part of the plan all along).

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

Yes, totally part of the plan. Really. Well, okay, part of Teyla and Lorne's plan, because they knew Sheppard and McKay would screw something up eventually. They just didn't put that in the plan-plan, because then certain people would sulk.

[rinsbane.livejournal.com]

Hee! And this is absolutely the way such a meeting would go, too. It's perfect.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

*grin* There's lot of yelling, hand-waving, attempts by some people to actually get work done, and they never seem to manage to finish before something explodes. Meanwhile, Ronon lurks in the background, eats the snacks, and finds everyone else absolutely hilarious.

So...basically just a normal staff meeting, really, only without Weir or Carter to ride herd.

[lady-lirenel.livejournal.com]

Jeez, I almost choked to death trying not to laugh at that last line so I wouldn't wake my roommate. Love it!

er, also? What's an RCMP?

[scifinut.livejournal.com]

Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Chuck's a MOUNTIE!

Hey Sly, does he wear the sexy red uniform?

[lady-lirenel.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's just precious. I can totally picture him as a mountie!

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

He's so polite and helpful! Just don't ask why he's in Atlantis.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

He does, on occasion, but not very often. He much prefers his green Atlantis uniform. Or his pajamas, because watching Colonel Carter trying to ignore the fact that her head gate tech / personal assistant was going around all day in pajamas was amusing.

[leesa_perrie]

LOL!! Soooo like I expect a meeting to go with that lot!! Love the last line!!

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

It's even more amusing if you imagine Ronon leaning against the wall and laughing inside.

[scifinut.livejournal.com]

PACMAN becomes ASS. ASS FTW!! :D :D

*squeefully happy* Hilarious. You've won again.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

*grin*

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha! Perfect!

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha indeed!

Meeting adjourned early due to attack by flame-breathing squid.


If only meetings I attended could end early taht way.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the participants would tell you that fire-breathing squid aren't as much fun as the sound.

[rageprufrock.livejournal.com]

Loved it, absolutely loved it.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, I need to go squee like a little boy over getting comment from you.

*runs off flailing*

Best staff meeting notes ever:)

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

PACMAN ASS meeting notes. Staff would be all the normal insanity, while this meeting is about things like "101 Ways To Blow Up Earth" and "Where Will We Get Coffee?"

[cat-77.livejournal.com]

Hee! Plotting and planning to take over Atlantis while still be childish - awesome.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

They're not childish, they're... they're differently adult.

[oneechan19.livejournal.com]

*gigglesnorts*

Now I find the need to read the rest of the stories.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

Yes, you totally do. Especially the Real Big One... once I finish it.

[emeraldsword.livejournal.com]

all awesome, last line just PERFECT.

[raincitygirl.livejournal.com]

So hilarious!!!!!

[linziday.livejournal.com]

LMAO!!
- Col. Sheppard grumbled that he "hates you fuckers so very, very much"
ROTFLMAO!!!!!

:)

[kaiyah19.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

heeee! Love it.
