Fic Question
Okay, I *might* have the beginnings of a fic idea. We'll see. The muse has been horrible to me lately - filling my head with fun ideas and then laughing at me when I realize they're not doable.
Muse: Psst. Michelle. Wouldn't it be neat to do SG-1: The Musical?
Me: Well, I don't know. Sounds pretty lame.
Muse: Come on! Think of the costumes!
Me: I do like costumes.
Muse: And the cool lighting?
Me: I *have* been hoping for a chance to haul out my stars gobo.
Muse: Frankly, the idea of Sam giving up being a nun to become a governess for Colonel O'Neill's seven children is too good to pass up! Better write it before someone else does!
Me: Well...okay.
Muse: Sucker!
My question: Would the water bottles SG-1 carries be called canteens? Or is canteen an antiquated term? Are they made out of plastic?

the gateroom is alive with the sound of music
Thankfully, all I remember about the actual content is that Victor Garber sang and danced a lot.

Godspell, OTOH...let's just say, due to that being my earliest obsession with a musical, my default impression of him is a skinny 23-year-old in a Superman shirt with a truly frightening white-guy Afro and hippie face paint.
Re: the gateroom is alive with the sound of music
Yeah, there was a newer tv version out maybe a month ago. Matthew Broderick played Prof. Hill. Garber played the mayor.

Oh...my. Oh my, my, my, my, my! WOW!!!!
Trying to debate if I should go rent this and pull on my Mystery Science Theater cap. Heh.

And tell me if the blonde chick named Robin doesn't remind you of Amanda when she smiles. I'm telling ya, it's eerie.
Re: the gateroom is alive with the sound of music
Actually I saw a production of that last year - one of the local theaters around here. I really enjoyed it. But then I'm a sucker for live theater. *g*

Weird.
Re: the gateroom is alive with the sound of music
I hope you sufficiently laughed at yourself for it. I would have been giggling the whole day from it. :)
Canteens
But I like water bottles.
Question for your muse - please deliver: If MV is a sucker, is it the kind that is tattooed on her forehead in bright neon green? Or is it the kind that is raspberry flavored?

It's the tattooed kind. But oddly - muse had a raspberry sucker in his mouth at the time.
*snigger*
And...
My question: Would the water bottles SG-1 carries be called canteens? Or is canteen an antiquated term? Are they made out of plastic?
I've gleaned this from my 12 years as a girl scout. 1.) Yes, they can be called canteens. It's the technical term. And yes, they're made out of re-enforced plastic these days. Or at least lined with re-enforced plastic. You can still get metal ones, but I think the standard issue ones these days are just really strong plastic.
Re: *snigger*
Might have to do it on a weekend - after a lot of wine. ;)
Canteens: thanks for the info. Hmm. I was thinking that the canteen would have condensation so that it would be wet & slippry to hang on to (guess it would have worked for plastic or metal) - but now that I think about it, their water wouldn't be cold out in the field, so no condensation.
The canteen part will have to be cut - well, I'll do something else with it.

Re:
None whatsoever. But *someone* has to be willing to take a chance on an unknown, an unknown hungry for the spotlight, full of dreams of the Great White Way and of dancing feet, and who's desperately trying to learn how to carry a tune...?

That was beautiful. You're in!

*dragged away into own little world as Muse takes Idea and runs away with it, Cackling madly*
Of course it would start in the Mess ('cause that is where such places start)And there would be much dancing about on tables and chairs. and then there is a cut to the conference room where Davis and Hammond do a tap break on the conference room table. then Sg1 dances in and they all go down those snazzy spiral staircase into the control room. The gate activates and the soldiers all spin in doing snazzy Gun drills which would have made my HS colorguard truly envious and then...the guest stars all run out of the gate dressed in the finest Vegas style; Feathers, Sequins, and the odd white tiger.
The lights go funky colors just as Anise, Shaun'ac, Shau're, Hathor, Nirrti, Cassie and Lya start up a kickline. Thor and his Asguard buddies start up with the juggling and acrobatics as Master Bray'tac and Apophis start tapdancing through the controlled mayhem.
Then of course the main stars in the credits (Plus janet and yes I include both daniel and jonas) all stride out wearing Tuxes (or close to it with janet and Sam, carrying canes and there is huge finale, and fireworks.
but what happens after the dance number, eh? This is the problem with this sort of thing...once it's over isn't it like the morning after a hasty, lusty, somewhat drunken tryst?
See, after, everyone is out of breath and there is a terrible silence. and then they are all terribly embarassed and no one will look at one another. Thor waves his hand and the stargate activates and everyone rushes out of the gate room before all the confetti has even touched the ground and everyone shuffles off to their posts and it is never spoken of again.
O.o; that's it. my muse is officially on crack.

I could prop it up on my desk and stare at it all day. *g*
Actually, the canteen question was for another idea I had - one that I'm still writing. Much less singing involved though.
