Its one of those things when you make it sound more fun, cuter, sillier, etc by using those last couple of letters. So I'd go "Oooh, look, pressies!", or "you got me a pressie?!" in an slightly OTT kind of way
If you want a weirder one, Christmas is occasionally referred to colloquially in the UK as 'crimbo'. Don't think that's anywhere else, due to it being odd and therefore suitable for the Brits.
Its not as impossible as when people try to get a nickname out of my name. There is no real way to get a cutesy name from mine without adding several letters, and that's the way I like itsigpic

Happy Birthday Helenmagnus23!

Originally posted by jckfan55 View PostOne more thing re: AT & Sam vs. Sanctuary
AT made Sam so believable--military, scientist--that it probably looked to some like an easy acting job. But just think of some of the otherwise talented (& of course, the not so talented) who are just laughable as scientists.
Magnus has shown more ranges of emotion and so people in the business may be more likely to *see* AT's talent. This is good for her long term career.
It's a cliche that you win awards for the "going crazy" or "put through the wringer" episodes, not the day in and day out great work.
Originally posted by EvenstarSRV View PostA small comment on Sam in SGA S4, Quarantine was on last night and I think that was an example of how they got Sam right on Atlantis. She got to do some technical stuff, be proactive about fixing the problem, and I liked her confidence in Zelenka near the end.

your names laura right... i have an aunt named laura and my other aunt calls her laurlie... i call her laurla... but youre right, both add letters"...but I think if I were to describe myself in pure feminist forms, I would say I want equality. We want respect not because we're women, but simply because we're human beings..." AT 'Live peace. Speak kindness. Dwell in possibility.'

The transcripts of a couple of missing/cut scenes
thanks to Callie on the transcript list that typed it all up, i just cut and pasted
and i only passed on the Sam ones
Spoiler:SEARCH AND RESCUE
(Captain Alicia Vega walks into Samantha Carter's office.)
VEGA: Colonel, do you have a minute?
CARTER: Can it wait, Captain Vega?
VEGA: Ma'am, I've been here close to a week now and I still haven't been assigned to a team or given a detail.
CARTER: Yes, I know, and I apologise for that. Things have been unusually hectic around here, what with Colonel Sheppard returning from the future an' all.
VEGA (grinning): *That* old excuse(!)
CARTER: Yeah! I know, it sounds crazy. You'll get used to it.
VEGA: I understand that, ma'am, but I gave up a pretty plum position on Earth ...
CARTER (interrupting): Captain. You have been given a week off to relax and explore the lost city of Atlantis. Are you really gonna complain?
VEGA: *Yes*, ma'am, I *am*. I didn't join the Air Force to kick back and put my feet up. Put me in play.
CARTER: Watch the tone there, Captain.
BANKS (from the Control Room): Unscheduled offworld activation.
(At Michael's planet, his Cruiser has come out of hyperspace. On the ground, Sam's rescue team is evacuating to the Puddle Jumpers. The distinctive sound of an approaching Dart can be heard.)
VEGA: We've got incoming!
CARTER: Only fire if it's low enough.
VEGA: I got it.
(As everyone else takes cover, Vega aims an M4 rifle into the air and opens fire. She fires a hail of bullets at the approaching Dart and hits its underside. It swoops away, trailing smoke behind it. Jennifer comes out of hiding, looking up admiringly.)
KELLER: Lucky shot!
VEGA: Thanks – but it wasn't luck.
CARTER: All right, let's fall back to our Jumpers.

I only wish we had had more Sam and less Rodney in that ep.

Originally posted by the dancer of spaz View PostAwww. I didn't even realize it was the thread's five-year anniversary, and I just happened to be lurking tonight. How nice of you to remember, NC. Time really does fly. In December 2004, I was completing my first semester of college (uni, for some), and on my way to meeting some wonderful friends whom I now miss dearly. I hope you're all doing well this holiday season, wherever you may be!

Whatever gave the game away?! My parents sometimes use 'Laula' - this was the way that my friend's stepfather used to say it, as he was Japanese and they find it very difficult to pronounce 'r'. They initially thought this was very funny, and now they just find it sweet
Generally, res will dosigpic
