I said 'this woman spends half her time off-world, she doesn't have garden. She has, like, one dead basil plant in her kitchen window, and that's it. So I said 'can't she do something cool like fix a bike?' And they were like 'oh, okay'. And I said 'a classic bike'. And the props guys were like 'well, oh, I don't know'. And I said 'a classic Harley or Indian, that would be cool!' And they found this 1940 classic Indian motorcycle, so that's where it started. But I wasn't allowed to sit on it.

    I loved the crack about the dead basil plant. I can picture that!
    ROTFLOL at that line! That line has been ringing in my head ever since I read it 'She has, like, one dead basil plant in her kitchen window'... LOL!

              Great moments. The hand signal thing really cracked me up. I know in one of the early seasons they played on that a bit with Daniel. I don't remember the episode, but Jack signals to him & Daniel is like "What?" And they wind up mouthing this whole exchange.
              Also that gun-explosive exchange. Wasn't there a line too something like "have you ever fired a weapon? --Sam: "Does a rocket count?" since she worked for aerospace she probably helped test fire rockets. I bet real Sam worked on rockets too before she joined the program.

              AU HAMMOND: I’m aware of that.
              AU DANIEL: I’m a linguist! By all accounts, your team may need one.
              AU CARTER: And what if something goes wrong with the Gate on the other end?
              AU HAMMOND: Neither of you have had any military training whatsoever. Have either one of you ever even fired a weapon of any kind?
              CARTER: Well ... unless you count launching a rocket.

              LOL!

                    I'm sure that most of you have seen it, but there is a 'Congratulations to AT' Thread for posting new-baby congratulations. While I was perusing the wonderful posts, I came across Chopingal's and it was so good that I wanted to share it with the folks on our SaGC thread

                    [On pregnancy] To me, life is tough enough without having someone kick you from the inside. Rita Rudner

                    Babies are such a nice way to start people. Don Herold

                    A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on. Carl Sandburg

                    When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. Sophia Loren

                    Making the decision to have a child - it's wondrous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. Elizabeth Stone

                    Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a child is born. George Bernard Shaw

                    When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. J.M. Barrie

                    A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic. Ralph Waldo Emerson

                    Raising children is a creative endeavor, an art, rather than a science. Bruno Bettelheim

                    A child is the greatest poem ever known. Christopher Morley

                    Hang around doggies and kids; they know how to play. Geoffrey Godbey

                    And, this seems especially appropriate ... There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago. J. Robert Oppenheimer

                    Olivia is in very good hands, indeed!

                      I noticed that her fan page (amandatapping.com ) also is collecting congratulatory messages for her. She might actually see those, as she occasionally sends a message to be posted there (such as her baby news.)

                        Hello Everyone...

                        I'm not sure what's going on but I'm still having issues with Gateworld.
                        Hopefully this will go through. It's a Sam collage I did this past weekend.
                        I think I've only been able to get one post through in the past four days.
                        If this doesn't work I'll try back tomorrow.

                        Heaven

                        I hope you are all doing well. I've seriously missed all the fun and chatting with everyone!!

                          I think this may be somewhat true, binkpmmc. They probably do not want to give too much away concerning Carter because they know that many fans will watch season 9 to see what happens to her and, for other fans, to see what happens to her and O'Neill.

                          To be honest, I am only going to watch season 9 because Carter comes back.

                          I was also thinking that they are not saying too much because they are trying to sell the first five episodes in regard to the new characters. Right now, they want to get the fans excited about the changes at the beginning of the season and the new characters. Surprisingly, they haven't said too much about Teal'c either.

                          Here's hoping that we get more information about Carter in the next few weeks, now that we know that Amanda and baby are healthy and everything is going well. So now maybe the writers can go ahead with some storylines for Carter, knowing that AT will return to work, albeit perhaps on a limited basis at first in May, and then a bit more substantially in a few months. At least the producers seem to want to accomodate AT and Olivia at the studio, so that is good.

                          I do want to see Carter as the leader of SG1 when she returns, but most importantly I want to see Carter central to the scifi storylines in the show (which shouldn't be difficult to do, given she is the leading astrophysicist!!! in the show)!!
                          This is a test ... to see if the post will actually go through and not get lost in cyberspace!

                          You know, we've tossed the whole "what's with Carter in S9?" thing around so much, but did we ever consider her being "far, far away" on a mission with Thor? The little guy just loves Sam (even AT acknowledges he couldn't keep his hands off her bum) ... so maybe, now that the Replicators have folded (or have they really?!) ... well, maybe Carter is collaborating with Thor on some ingenious astrophysical breakthrough ... beamed away by the little gray men just as she was reeling in that one big fish in Jack's pond! Ha! Picture that!

                            Right back at you, Kat! This SaGC addiction is really killing all of us - we'll have to start a recovery program and launch balloons in the sky or send messages via carrier pigeons to each other! Eek! And my being out of town for two weekends has just about done me in too ... to come back and find the GW in distress!

                            Your "Heavens" montage is beautifully done - I'm in heaven viewing it! (Oops, not literally - good grief - I'm here and breathing and you will all hear from me soon ... sorry if I'm paraphrasing the president!)

                              Yippee - now that GW seems to be all mended ... I wanted to thank you for that great link to AT's Australian transcript ... that was so delightful and funny to read. You're right, it did say a lot about her ... how about her phoning CJ up long distance and getting him to say hi to the crowd?

                              Thanks again!

                              And, also thanks to whoever first posted the S8 end-of-season transcript where AT discusses her desire to have "Lt. Colonel Sam Carter" using more of her leadership skills and "planning missions" in S9. It just seemed that she was echoing what we want for her also. I hope TPTB take her wishes seriously.
