What would you bring? (Hide and Seek spoilers)

[Persephone]

In Hide and Seek we learn that everyone on the expedition was allowed to bring one personal item from Earth. So... what would everyone here choose? Is it a tough call or clear right off the bat?

My first instinct was my Bible, but then I realized that in all likelihood someone else on the trip would think the same thing, not to mention that there's probably a copy of it stored in some "Important Earth History/Civilization/Meaning of Life Stuff" file brought along for general exploratory purposes, so...

I'd spring for my voilin instead.

magents...I would bring magnets...no just kidding...I would bring my Seasons 1-6 of Stargate

Wonder if my wireless router could reach that far?

My first instint would be seeds for tomatos, onions, watermelon etc. We don't really know what kind of foods they brought along (army rations only maybe?) But if they did bring my fav food stuffs, it would probably be a deck of cards. You can spend so many hours playing with cards and its a good way to break the ice with people.

My Mac(iBook) and iPod!!! and figure out a way to interface them with Ancient Technology... everyone else on Atlantis has stupid Dell laptops... YUCK! at least from the looks of it they're NOT running windows... YAY!

A ton of ice cream that never melts lol

An excellent notion, that.

I'd agree with Persephone that things like sacred texts and such are likely to be in the stash of stuff that the group is bringing. So my first reaction was to bring my iPod with my entire music collection on it, but since there's no guarantee that I'd be able to get power to it after a while... Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Sorry if I sound ignorant and stupid, but how did Sheppard get the video or DVD of the football game to play on the Ancient viewscreen thingy?

Maybe he played it on one of those stupid Dell laptops and interfaced with the Ancient Technology.

[Anubis]

They would have probably used a laptop and interfaced with the technology

That's what I said

[Anubis]

Yeah, but I used technical terms! lol

[Selmak]

Yeah... you didn't say "stupid" lol

[Anubis]

Yep, I'm too smart!

Selmak, I just have to know, what is your problem with Dells?
