Teal'c -- well, nobody has to ask about Teal'c.
Because he wore more eye makeup than Sam?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Also, nobody dares.

Is Scrappy around? I have a pitch idea for her:
New this fall on the WB: Rorschach, the life and loves of a hot European whiz-kid and psychiatrist, set against the backdrop of the Great War. Starring Jamie Walters.

No. But many, many cravats.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
(Did I not say he was hot?)
(Contrast to, say, Einstein in his 20s, or I don't know, B.F. Skinner. Both of whom I have seen young photos of, and neither of whom was hot.)
Klex. Ha! Fun nickname. Although one wonders if one gets called "inkblot" as a child because one (a) has a wild imagination and a tendency to lie; (b) is a total klutz; or (c) has a funny birthmark.

Klex, huh? He was well ahead of his time, even if his young tormenters misspelled "Klark".

The most popular theory: Hermann's father was a successful artist. Hermann wanted to be an artist too, but he had no talent and his efforts were derided as 'inkstains.' Eventually people started calling him Inkstain. In the end, though, Hermann's inkstains are much better known than anything his father did. It's a perfect psychoanalytic story.
I don't care for the story myself, because the moral seems to be that if you are born without talent the best thing to do is to become a psychologist.

I think there's probably something vaguely immodest about bragging about one's presents, but... aw hell. My coworkers won't understand. Maybe you guys will.
I have a Stargate Command patch!
Edited because I felt I hadn't been emphatic enough in my geeky glee. Wondering if I should put it on my backpack. Sort of like a "geek pride" sticker.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Emily, that is so cool! I totally understand your geeky joy. Who was it a present from?
