"I don't know. It's actually pretty good meat. I was really surprised! It- it tastes like chicken!"
Sheppard regarded his friend with uneasy skepticism, glancing back down at the suspiciously cobalt drumstick. He'd heard of wanting meat blue, but this was ridiculous. After a long moment staring at each other, John suspicious and McKay earnest, he plucked a small piece and popped it in his mouth, chewing thoughtfully without breaking eye contact.
There was no arguing that the meat was surprisingly tasty, a little soft and a little fattier than he'd expected, but the point of a conversation had never stopped him arguing semantics, especially not with the Chief Science Officer. "Rodney," he drawled, a little bored and a little warning, "this tastes like chicken the way pork taste like chicken."
The astrophysicist frowned, mouth slanting further as he examined the remark. "Colonel, pork tastes nothing like-" He paused when John's eyebrow cocked up, gesturing him to finish as he waved the drumstick in the air before bringing it to his mouth. Rodney puffed out a breath, looking a little embarrassed and a little annoyed. "Oh."
A/N: I'd love it (and I hope you'd love it) if you guys sent me more common phrases I could transform into ridiculous moments =)
