Why this must be read:

This piece is a great study of Earth customs and its stance on homosexuality as seen from the eyes of a Pegasus native. But while it's thought provoking, what really got me was how Ronon's mind wandered around as John was bitching about his boyfriend. XD And how Ronon saw things! Just so down to Earth and straightforward. How sabinelagrande wove his train of thought and how he saw things was a hilarious kick in the pants! And I loved how throughout his mind wanderings, John's complaining about Rodney in the back ground. And the very end when John is looking at Ronon for a response to rant-a-thon, what does Ronon say? That ever appropriate response to bitching, "That's fucked up, dude". ROFL!!! Oh so appropriate and oh so Ronon! Fantastic character voice, wonderful examination of how cultures see things differently, and absolutely belly-rolling inducing hilarity. What's not to love? LOL

Story Summary: Just a peaceful day in Atlantis.


He realized Sheppard had quit talking, and now he was looking at Ronon expectantly.

Ronon quit smiling and composed himself, pretending like he was seriously pondering whatever the hell Sheppard had been talking about. “That's fucked up, dude,” he intoned; he'd long since learned it was the traditional Earth response for such things.

“I know!” Sheppard sighed, collapsing back into his pillow. “Thanks for letting me get that out, buddy.”
