Celebrate Good Times, Come On

-->Happy birthday,
martyfan! The big 2-0 today! Glad you liked the ficlet. For those of you wondering, here it is:
Beware of DeLorean
Vrrrmmmmm. . . .
Rodney “Wraithbait” McKay looked up, puzzled. What was that noise and where was it coming from? He was trying to work, damn it!
The noise got closer. It seemed to be coming from very low on the ground -- someone running a vacuum cleaner, perhaps? Yes, that had to be it. Mystery solved, McKay turned back to his work.
Only to have something run into his chair.
Startled by the collision, McKay’s head snapped down. Sitting by the back left leg was -- a toy DeLorean. As he watched, it backed up and maneuvered around his chair, then started doing laps around him.
For one insane moment, McKay wondered if Marty and Doc had been the victims of an ill-planned miniaturization project. Stranger things had happened -- hell, his canon-verse equivalent lived in another galaxy and worked on a device that allowed people instant access to other planets. Then he heard the giggling from around the corner, and realized what was going on. Annoyed, he tried to get up and confront his attacker, but the DeLorean zeroed in on his feet as soon as he stood up. He aimed a kick at the toy -- the DeLorean zoomed out of the way, then ran over his foot. McKay yelped and grabbed at the injured appendage. The DeLorean did a victory lap before aiming for the other foot.
McKay managed to get out of the way, then scrambled for safety on top of his chair. The DeLorean resumed its circling, reminding him a bit of a shark. “Stop it!” he yelled to his attacker, sounding whiny even to his ears.
There was another round of giggles. Then a voice said, “You should really know better than to insult our movie series.”
McKay bristled. “Back To The Future is a bad movie! That’s all there is to it!”
There was a pause. Then --
VRRRRRMMMMMM
A small fleet of toy DeLoreans came around the corner, all headed straight for his chair. Two -- John’s and Sam’s, no doubt -- had lemons tied to the top. They all promptly joined their leader in circling his chair, occasionally pausing to ram it. McKay stared down at them. Menaced by toys. He knew he shouldn’t have woken up today.
It's a muse piece -- in addition to the regular SG-1 cast, Ael also has two Atlantis characters -- Jigowatt John Sheppard and Wraithbait Rodney McKay. My original idea was to do a picture of JJ tormenting Wraithbait with a toy DeLorean, but when that fell through, I turned it into this ficlet.
-D: *grin* Jigowatt John's a good guy.-
-VD: And yes, McKay SHOULD know better than to admit he doesn't like BTTF in front of us -- and you.-
:p
-->Happy Birthday Elisabeth Shue! Jennifer Parker 2.0 turns 43 today. I admit, I've grown to like her Jennifer more -- at the very least, her Jennifer shares a few mannerisms with mine. My Jennifers still look like Claudia Wells though.
-J: Combos, eh? I can live with that.-
-M: *kissu* Me too.-
-->It's Mad Hatter Day! See, my new Alice in Wonderland obsession has some use. :) Everyone, think of something weird in life and post it in your LJ. I'll go with a classic:
-VD2: We are not doing "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" again!-
No, this:
Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
I also have this:
Why are most highways level with the ground?
-RPD: They aren't in 2015.-
Ha ha.
Okay, writing, then some sims.
