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

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!

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

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).

LOL! Cute little guy.

Love it!!!

Shep sure was great ideas on how to fix things.

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.

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

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.

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

[lysambre.livejournal.com]

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

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

Can't wait for your new AF adventures.
