Halloween at Stargate Atlantis, sorta: Action Figure Theater

[wraithfodder]

Of course the Stargate Atlantis action figures had to get into the Halloween experience, even if it was sorta after. Regrettably, what is there to do with a chewed-up pumpkin but to sacrifice it to the wild tree rodents?? Chockful of weak special effects and a so-so plot, but hey, you do get a movie!



Rodney: “Great, now Woolsey is gonna get ticked off we let something attack Atlantis’ only pumpkin.”
Sheppard: “It’s not the end of the world. I’ll have Lorne just paint it over.”







Regrettably, Lorne is still waiting to be turned into an action figure, so nobody is around to guard the valuable pumpkin, which is further nibbled on.



And a little paint ain’t gonna fix THIS hole!



Rodney: “We are SOOOO dead! Look at it!”
Sheppard: “Um, er, we’ll say a Wraith attacked it.”
Rodney: “Are you insane??" 
Sheppard: "Yeah, you're right. Giant mutant moon mice would sound better."
(Insert sound of Rodney smacking his head into the side of the pumpkin) 



Atlantis’ high-tech camera captures the culprit. A giant evil (but somewhat cute) squirrel!
Sheppard (off-camera): “I hear they’re good cooked.”
Rodney (off-camera): “Of course pumpkins are. Haven’t you ever had pumpkin pie?”
Sheppard (off-camera): “I was talking about the squirrel.”
Rodney (off-camera): “That is disgusting.”

Video #1 of brazen suburban squirrel attacking the pumpkin, which has already been mostly gutted (darn, missed that while I was out shopping, of course).

Video #2 of the squirrel going in for the kill (really, he goes into the pumpkin!)


And that’s it!

The squirrels are not scared at all? I like how Sheppard can make it so simple to fix a pumpkin!:P

The squirrel would run up the tree when I opened the door, but came right back, and the dog was sitting ten feet away watching. They know the dog is harmless! ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I used to give them the tiny pumpkins, but this year I bought a BIG pumpkin, and they gnawed it up within 24 hours!

I could watch squirrels for hours. OMG. They're so amazing. I wish we had them over here.... we only have possums, and while they're cute, they're not THAT cute!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

No squirrels? Eegads!

[monkey-junkey.livejournal.com]

Clearly the squirrel is the result of Michael's genetic experiments :D

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha!

[vecturist.livejournal.com]

Squirrel #2 is certainly a pudgy guy. I want a Lorne action figure - something to ask Kavan about at the con... (see if he'll blush).

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Well, same squirrel, just two different vids ;) Yeah, must get a Lorne action figure!

[pisces227.livejournal.com]

LOL! Cute little guy.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, squirrels are adorable, despite the damage they do ;)

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

Love it!!!

Shep sure was great ideas on how to fix things.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Well, hey, Shep could have been MENSA ;)

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

so very true

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ha, yes, that's the washing machine in the background!

[abracah.livejournal.com]

Oh how cute. The squirrels never bother my pumpkins, but it was fun to watch them climb the corn shocks I tied to front porch posts. They would get the corn off and carry it up to their holes. I do wish I had video of the one trying to the corn into his hole sideways. He kept bumping into the sides like a cartoon. He finally figure out how to pull it in behind him.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

That does sound like it would have been amusing to watch.

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

I have to say that you keep me in stitches every time you put one of these up. I love it!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

LOL @ the squirrel. I miss them but here in the wilds we have too many predators, though the other day, I saw a chipmunk(my first in 9 years living here).

I sure hope they release a Lorne action figure, I'll be buying those up like nobodies business. As I've discovered there is nothing quite like going to your mailbox and pulling a Lorne out of it.

Though I must say I'm finding it hard to believe that you didn't have Shep make some comment about how the squirrel is one of McKay's fans(since we *ARE* the squirrels, lol)

Oh and I have to say, I heard the funniest song that made me think of Shep today. It's Big and Rich's song "Kick My A$$" (why does everyone want to kick my a$$ is in the chorus) and it just made me LOL a little.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh duh. *facepalm* Totally forgot about the squirrel connotation! Heh, that song does sound like it belongs to poor Shep, at least in fanfic ;)

[mackenziesmomma.livejournal.com]

You forgot?! O.o and you call yourself a fangirl? ;) ;) ;) (totally kidding)

That song could also be the theme song to key scenes in "Doppelganger" "Common Ground" "38 Minutes" "Conversion" and others(hmm, seeing a trend in those eps, lol)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. terrible, isn't it? ;) But I just go so into filming the squirrel :)

[mackenziesmomma.livejournal.com]

*grin* Sure you did, thats a likely excuse.

[catcrazy5.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I have to ask ... Were you doing laundry out on your patio during those videos? [Cause that's what it sounded like]

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

The washing machine is actually in an alcove in the kitchen and the patio is right off the kitchen, so... ;)

[catcrazy5.livejournal.com]

That definitely sounds better than having it on the patio! [BTW, I was getting some insurance quotes recently, and one of the questions the guy asked had to do with if I had any appliances on a porch outside the house!]

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Somehow having an appliance outside the house sounds like an electrocution hazard to me.... but you know, you never can tell with some folk!

[lysambre.livejournal.com]

You always post the cutest vids :D

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

[supamikeymon.livejournal.com]

Dude, I want a McKay action figure so he can pal around with Carter and Daniel!! :D :D :D

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're fun to play with!

[cordeliadelayne]

Aw, cute squirrel ftw!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) All squirrels are cute :)

[scifan1.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. Great job hun!! :D

[celestial-diary.livejournal.com]

These action figure stories you have never fail to put a smile and laughter whenever I see them! Hilarious!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Well, they're going to NJ this weekend! ;)

[celestial-diary.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh, can't wait to see what adventure or mis-adventure you've got planned for them. LOL! XD

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I keep hearing little voices going "take us to the bar, take us to the bar." Oh, this could get messy ;)

[nat-am-drachen.livejournal.com]

*LOL* As many pumpkins and squirrels as we have around, never seen that. Huh.

Can't wait for your new AF adventures.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hope to post a new one this weekend :)
