Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Scary Kitty]

pkprd869, that story about watching the White Sox game on the mini TV is too funny! And y'know, I can totally see John doing that. So who would the second guy be? Mitchell? Lorne?

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

[Southern Red]

SR like the song says, "All the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar." Fionnait That reminds me of a funny story when I went clothes shopping with the gf in college. I bought this little hand sized TV and was watching it in between her trying stuff on. This other dude was in sitting there in the same boat so we started watching the White Sox game. We got in trouble when the Sox hit a home run andwe cheered out loud and high fived each other.

Yep, and some of my dad's cousins ran 'shine down in NC. And I'm willing to bet half the folks here don't know what we're talking about.

Love the story. I can so see John doing that.

Correct, but that's okay, go for it. It's nice to see chicks talking sport, and knowing what they are talking about. I could talk rugby (I'm no great expert on it) instead, but no doubt that would be pointless. Or curling (the sport, nothing to do with hair).

[gateraid]

It was the focal point for me I didn't like some of S3 that much (some of S2 even), but Sparky kept me watching. (Just to get this straight, I didn't dislike S2 or 3 per se, but it didn't blow me away either).

I suppose it was the focal point for me too, less so in s1 as the stories were better. S3 was a bit of a flub otherwise, but the sparkage more than made up for it

He's a guy... He would moan about for half an hour until she would finally park him in the toys/electronics department to get the shopping done... That, or they'd end up in the underwear department. Although, from my shopping experience in America I doubt that, 'cause my bf got actually thrown out of a store for loitering around near the women's changing room *lol* How else is he supposed to tell me if what I try on looks good?
more rant

Spoiler:

He's been really careful since. So much that I have to come out of the changing room area even when the shop assistants tell him that it's okay to go in. In Germany they don't really mind...

That wouldn't happen here. Unless one was hanging around the kids changing rooms, in which case they would get beaten, not asked to leave. I'm sure there's a fic out there somewhere with John waiting on Elizabeth getting changed.....

Lets hope that you treat your Weir well and don't replace her with a Playstation after 3 years! :d

He'll deny it til he's blue in the face but yep...he's converted!

No worries....there will be no replacing of the Wii named Weir!

Spoiler:

I love that you have red/green christmas hair! that's so cool! LOL

I love you for calling me a chick. Nobody's done that in a number of years. Thanks.

But I think we have a little cultural misunderstanding. Running 'shine is not a sport. In certain Southern states, particularly back a few decades when the making of illegal whiskey was common, guys used fast cars to elude the police and deliver their "product" to the customers. In fact this was the very beginnings of Nascar racing. It was called "running 'shine" (short for moonshine). But come to think of it, it did at times turn into a sort of sport. This song Thunder Road is from an old Robert Mitchum movie that tells the tale perfectly.

That was perfect.

SR I got yelled at by my lit prof for using the word "chicks". I wasn't being derogatory about it, I just said something like, "The chicks we read were really good." Well, she didn't shout but scolded, but being the typical male I had to egg her on. So I said, "Not like I called you a skirt." She just gave me a dirty look and continued with discussion.

Random OT

Spoiler:

I starting to look at houses, I've been advised that three bed and two bath is ideal for starting out because it's very marketable in the future. I agree with three bed, but would 1.5 or 1.75 bath be ok?

Most female lit profs are ultra-feminists so I'm not surprised. Now me, I was a feminist in the true sense of the word before it was cool, but I'm not into political correctness.

OT

Spoiler:

With 3 BR, I'd go with nothing less than 2 baths. I don't know what 1.75 would be. ??? But you need at least 2 places for people to take a bath if you have guests or plan to keep it after having kids. My parents only had one bath and regretted it forever.

[drewandian]

SR you sound like me...political correctness is just hokey imo...

pkprd

Spoiler:

I grew up with two younger sisters and one bathroom...and I don't care what the Brady Bunch made us all think, one bathroom simply is not enough with three girls in the house! Go for 2 full baths!

And in the midst of all the holiday merriment I found time to do this. It's based on the song Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton which is from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Leave it to me to do a woobie Christmas wallie.
