Five Running Jokes SG-i Had With Each Other


1. It must be admitted that Teal'c's fashion choices tended rather to the lurid. Jack was very careful to stand where he could see Carter's face the first time she saw one of his Hawaiian shirts. It was a priceless study in horror mingled with amusement, and so worth the seeing.

It didn't take much for the human members of the team to start a sub rosa competition for who could find Teal'c the most over-the-top Hawaiian Shirt ever. Thanks to a subscription to Field and Stream, Jack won hands down with this Troutwear Hawaiian Shirt (http://www.troutwear.com/collection/men/9245390). It was pricey at $90, but so worth it for the win.



2. Jack had grown up in the world of team sports, football in fall, hockey in winter, and baseball in the spring and summer, and it was a world that taught a mild degree of superstition. When his team caught on to the fact that Jack had a lucky hat, it became their joy and delight to try to spirit it away and hide it during their watches. On their last mission together before Jack was made a General, they once again tried to find and hide the hat, without success, because it was at the foot of his sleeping bag, and Jack was a light sleeper. Daniel's chocolate, Carter's thumb drive, and Teal'c peanut butter cookies were missing though, and turned up in Jack's pack.



3. It wasn't pig Latin, but a similar type of arrangement of Daniel's devising, and after Daniel taught them how it went, SG-1 got very good and very fast at speaking in it. They made a point of using it often on missions when the Marines of SG-3 were along. It drove Col. Makepeace and his men nuts. Jack was so proud.



4. Hammond didn't know why SG-1 was having such a puerile reaction to the word hair when SG-1 debriefed following the mission where they had been led to another of those quantum mirror things. The words hair, locks, red, and abundant all lead to poorly suppressed snickering. Nobody wanted to tell the General about the alternate universe where his counterpart's hair had been luxuriant, artificially red, and very, very curly.



5. Teal'c was mystified by knock-knock jokes. Initially some of it was that he was not quite conversant with the ins and outs of colloquial English, and some of it was the vast gulf between Tau'ri and Jaffa humor. Nonetheless, they intrigued him, and he began to seek them out in an attempt to understand them. The rest of the team helped out. If the the apocalypse ever came, and only a few Tau'ri were able to escape through the stargate and survive, the presence of SG-1 would have guaranteed that the knock-knock joke would have been well represented in the galaxy still.

Wow, that Hawaiian shirt is really ugly. *lol*

And #3 is great! What a clever idea to invent a secret language - especially when it drives Makepeace and his men nuts. *g*

But I also like the rest very much!

Yeah, that Hawaiian shirt is a real horror. A fellow Vermonter was fishing, caught a trout and was captivated by its skin. He thought it was so beautiful that he wanted to commemorate the look in a line of clothing. Troutwear was the result. There's a Troutwear dress too. *shudder*

I'm glad you had fun!

There's a Troutwear dress too. *shudder*

I saw it! And I think the dress is even more horrible than the shirt. *lol*

even though being a redhead is awesome (speaking as one proudly), George pulls off bald like few can!

and Teal'c let his peanut butter cookies get stolen? dang!

Redheads are indeed awesome. My youngest daughter and one of my two aunts are redheads. Have you seen early photos of Don S. Davis? He's one too. What was amusing was not the color, but the implication that he might have been dyeing it to maintain that. This post was written in great haste shortly before the reveal was due, so I didn't spend much time in exposition, and the point might be a little too subtle here. Sorry if you were (even mildly) offended.

As to the peanut butter cookies, you'll note that it took Jack years of serving with Teal'c before he could pull that off!

My hair is (was) a brown so dark that most call it black. Now at 54, if you imagine Jack c. season 4, you'll get it about right. ;)

I was so looking forward to seeing if anyone responded to this one.

Ha ha ha, of course he had a lucky hat.

And ha ha ha Hammond with red hair!

Well, in fairness, so did Don S. Davis, back in The Day. There's a MacGyver where he plays one of a group of poachers, and he's clearly a redhead.

I'm glad you enjoyed these.

No. Definitely not! And I haven't decided, so you will have to decide for yourself, whether Alternate!Hammond had a dyed weave, a baaad rug, or some sort of solution using technology brought back through the gate.

Edited because *sporfle* died and dyed are not the same words!

Well, there is a market out there for ways to hide baldness, and I'm sure that some bean counter in the Pentagon (or perhaps the NID) would have pointed out early on that patenting some alien tech could help pay some or all of the cost of running the gate. ;)

my guess it wasn't real.

I really hadn't decided for myself, so you are free to take the option that amuses you most, whether it was a wig, some sort of a Hair Club for Men weave, plugs done early enough in life to keep it all over the head, or the hideous manifestation of an alien technology brought home by that universe's SG teams, and patented by the Air Force to help pay for the cost of the program. ;)

Okay, I desperately want to see this Hammond with the curly red hair! :-D

And all hail the knock-knock joke!
