RE: Politeness

Well, that makes everything all right, then! As long as people are polite, who cares if they're idiots?!

RE: Politeness

Are you calling your sister an idiot? I am sure she would not be happy to hear that.

RE: Politeness

No, I'm not calling her an idiot! I was just trying to make a point... You know what, just forget it. I don't have time to listen to you blather.

Sorry, I cannot resist. You make it altogether too easy to tease you.

RE: Rod

Your alter ego was an interesting guy. Weird, but interesting. I can’t imagine watching you hit golf balls into the ocean, but he seemed to enjoy it.

RE: Rod

Well, obviously we never got to meet your “evil twin,” but he sounds like he’s as predictably suicidal as you are.

RE: Rod

One man’s ingenuity is another man’s suicidality. I’m not sure if anyone famous said that, but they should have.

Wonder why Ronon’s the same in both universes.

RE: Rod

Thank you. Just getting him back for the underwear-on-the-head comment. And don’t think I’ve forgotten about your bedwetting jibe.

RE: Rod/Jeannie

I wouldn’t dream of forgetting. I await your spectacular revenge with baited breath.

Now, if you wouldn’t mind a little friendly advice, try not to lose touch with your sister again. She’s a good person. (I know what you’re thinking, but this is not me being “Kirk.”) She probably wouldn’t admit it to you, but I think she’d miss you. And your niece sounds totally adorable.

RE: Rod/Jeannie

Madison is really cute, isn’t she. She seems really smart, too. It’s good to see that the McKay genes weren’t overwhelmed by the English-major genes.

I’m planning to see them again at Christmas. Tofurky and all.
