Author's Note: Well, since I got such wonderful feedback for my 'Weirdest Worlds' list I decided to continue along the same lines for this one: So here is the list for today, Sunday March 25, 2007

TOP TEN CRAZIEST CUSTOMS:

Throughout the team's travels, they have encountered the gamut of human civilizations. They've seen the silly people, talked with the freaky ones, and met the scary beyond all reason natives that one never hopes to meet again. So, one a boring afternoon the gang decided to make a list of the wackiest customs that they have had to partake in while trying to 'make nice' in the Pegasus galaxy while traveling off-world. This list shows two things. One, that some worlds need to get out more and two when McKay, Sheppard, and Ronon have too much free time the results can be just disturbing. (Teyla didn't partake in this list because she had been with her people at the time). The list was then posted on the community bulletin board in the Rec room for all to see.

To All Personnel:

Words of the wise: All of you that have traveled off-world will attest to some of the more unusual customs and peculiarities of different people out there. We have taken it upon ourselves to compile a list of our top ten craziest customs in hopes that we can enlighten some newbies and give a general heads up for the rest of you. So for you enjoyment here is what we came up with:

10. On MYW-845 the natives were great except for a little issue they had with clearing your throat before you speak. (That was a must—Loud and proud all the way) Note to self: Bring lots of cough drops if you visit them.

9. On Z32-052 the people had a strange and slightly childish custom. Here in order to speak one has to put their finger on their nose. (R: It was like kindergarten all over again)

8. On GSC-381 the villagers were really nice but very soft spoken. Let's just say Rodney didn't have an easy time on this mission. (R: Hey! I resent that. S: Well it's true. Rn: Hee Hee) Anyway, they only spoke in a whisper. If you talked louder than that it was the utmost insulting thing you could do.

7. On TR3-495 where world words back talk must you. (S: Let's just say it was hard and Rodney didn't help much)

6. On FMW-093 we met some interesting people. When they talked they stuck their tongue out. Apparently if you didn't you were considered to by lying and holding something back. (R: Yeah Sheppard looked retarded trying to go through the whole 'We come in peace thing'. Rn: But you were twice as stupid looking. R!?!)

5. On MCD-253 was just plain gross. In this civilization, the farther you could hock a loogie the better. (S: Geese Ronon That was just gross R: Yeah the big guy set a new record for them with that one)

4. On MXR-592 the natives were very touchy-feely. We had to sit in a big circle and all hold hands to accomplish the whole 'meet and greet' thing. (R: Yeah the female leaders all tried to sit next to Sheppard. Can you say Kirk? Rn: Yeah remember how they all tried to sit away from you too? R: I resent that! S: Nice one big guy! And Rodney: It's a gift. R: Hmphf!

3. On RC4-229 lived the Poetricians. They only talked in rhyme and did it all of the time. It was not fun and annoyed everyone. Rodney's rhymes sucked, and Ronon pretended to upchuck. We tried to be friends, but in the end we couldn't take any more of their damn rhymes! (R: Yeah Sheppard, you suck at rhyming! S: At least I could string together a few sentences.(See Above) You fumbled over a few phrases! Rn: Yes McKay's silence was nice.)

2. On VLS-683 we encountered some very talented albeit odd people. They didn't walk around like you or I. They hopped everywhere. Somehow we don't see them lasting long in a wraith culling, but man would they be good in a three-legged race. (Rn: What's a three legged race? If we'd had more time I would've taught them Satedan Capture the Flag. S: Ha that'd been good too!)

1. On ZSP-593 was strange. The people must have had really great upper body strength in order to do this. Anyway, they only walked on their hands. (R: Pity Carson didn't come on this one. He would have fit right in with all the freaks. S: At least he could have done it, you kept falling over every two seconds. Rn: I don't see what was so hard about it. Teyla and I were just fine. Maybe you two should practice. S/R!!!!)

--Hope this helps and Happy Offworld Travels—

Dr. Rodney McKay, Lt. Col John Sheppard, Specialist Ronon Dex

a/n2: Ok so I had a little more free time than usual and I made this list more of a fic instead of a plain list. Just know that not all will be as beefed up as this, but I felt like trying to do it a little different! Yep, you can look forward to more soon cos in four days I am on spring break and I totally plan on updating all of my fics. Yep ALL of them so watch out! Hee hee---Lemons--
