The Atlantis Handbook by Cammy (PG)

Hopefully I've just squeezed through with this one, (Ok I'm a bit late but December's categories haven't been allocated so it should be alright...and maybe it's still november somewhere in the world) which was my main reason for wanting to rec humour in the first place!

Why this must be read:

John and Rodney got bored. Teyla and Ronon got roped into it. The rest of Atlantis was amused by it.

This is my favourite Atlantis version of a Skippy list, so I had to share it. I wish I had more time to give a great review, but this will have to do :) From the author's description above, this is what happens when you don't give John and Rodney something to do. The list starts off quiet sensibly (don't die) but progressively gets more and more ridiculous, plus each new rule has a little explanation, which just makes them even funnier. Look out for Fluffy, who becomes the mascot of SGA-2 after following them home!

Rule Thirty-One: Plan A never works. Plan B works occasionally. Plan C is your best bet.

Number Thirty-One came courtesy of Stargate Command.

Rule Thirty-Two: Do not trust the Genii. They will stab you in the back.

Really the Atlantis Expedition should have figured out that one a long time ago. There were a lot of sheepish nods and growls when it was posted.

Rule Thirty-Three: Lying to your alien team members about Earth culture is not a good idea.

A. Do not call your alien team members a pop culture name that they would find insulting.

B. They will find out. And they will not be happy.

Conan and Xena had not been amused at all.

Rule Fifty-Nine: Hitting the son of the local ruler is not a good idea.

A. Even if he was being a little too grabby with one of your team members.

The local ruler’s son had taken a shine to John. Teyla had cautioned him not to do anything drastic right before she, Ronon and Rodney had attacked said son. Rodney got the most hits in. It led to the next rule too.

Rule Sixty: When challenged to a duel with swords do not say to your teammates “Of course I know what I’m doing! The pointy end goes in the other guy!”

A. It will not inspire confidence in them.

John, Ronon and Teyla had crashed the duel. Rodney was still extremely grateful.
