lol...I refrained from quoting the entire post so as not to be one of those 33....

That said...

Didja come up with that all by yourself Nymphy? That was just too funny!

Astra, the joke was perfect. Here is the exact definition of malingerer from the dictionary most used in the US (Merriam-Webster):

Malinger: to pretend or exaggerate incapacity or illness

(emphasis mine)

Teal'c and indeed



Has anyone ever wondered?




I did the count on indeed, as part of a language analysis of Stargate SG1, seasons 1-9. Indeed amusing and surprising.

Counting through seasons 1 to 9, indeed is said 165 times. Teal'c says it only 128 times. But in 23 cases he uses the word indeed within a sentence. That leaves 105 cases where Teal'c uses the word indeed as a sentence.

In season 1 Teal'c didn't say the word even once, though it is uttered 5 times.
The first time Teal'c uses the word is in the season two episode The Tok’ra, part 1. And the second time is in Holiday, where Teal'c inside O'Neill uses the word once. But the use of the word in these two circumstances is within a sentence. The word is indeed used properly.

In the first season he only nodded, through the 2nd season he once added sound to his nods – the word indeed. After season two he increases the use of utterance while nodding. In season 3 he does it 4 times. In season 4, 6 times. In season 5 it is 8 times. In season 6 he really takes the word into use, he says it 16 times, plus 4 times within a sentence. In season 7 he has gotten so much used to saying indeed with a nod that he does that 22 times. The use of the word tops in season 8, here he says it 28 times, and twice within a sentence. After O'Neill leaves the show, Teal'c "degenerates" into the more silent guy he used to be, yet he can't go all the way back to who he once was, so he continues saying indeed when he nods, he just doesn't say it that often. It is only uttered 23 times, including the 2 times it is "the other" Tealc in Ripple Effect who says it.

For obvious reasons I can't include season 10 in this analysis – yet.

Nymphy... the litebülb joke...
Kudos to EH for the Noah the Financier, too

What are kudos? Never understood that really...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kudos (IPA pronunciation: ['kju:dɒs]['ku:dɒs]), from the Greek κύδος kydos (literally "that which is heard of") means fame and renown resulting from an act or achievement; by extension is often used as a praising remark. It entered English as British university slang in the early 1800s.

Love your citations, or should I say quotes ( ) Loth!!!
Keep 'em coming!

((((Sheepy))))

This is one of my favourite 'MacGyver-y' mantras:
"I'd rather do something and fail than do nothing and succeed!"

Yay! That one kicks butt

Like it's better to be regret the things you've done than to regret things you've never done. Or something along those lines.

No, but screen names popped into my head for every instance.

I wanted to add:

*groans*

There you go Astra!

The joke made perfect sense to Mac.

The butcher backed up into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.

Yes, and I was tickled pink (and impressed!) to see someone use 'malinger' properly!!!

So, Astra, don't let the nincompoops (*DUCKS*) stop you from sharing your funny jokes!

Q. What excuse did Adam give to his children as to why he no longer lived in Eden?

A. Your mother ate us out of house and home.

If we are what we eat, I'm fast, cheap and easy!

A drunk man who smelled like a beer sat down on a subway seat next to a priest.

The man's tie was stained, his face was smeared with red lipstick, and a half empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began to read. After a few minutes the man turned to the priest and asked 'Say Father, what causes arthritis?' The priest replies 'My son, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap wicked women, too much alcohol and comtempt for your fellow man' 'Well I'll be darned' the drunk muttered, returning to his newspaper.

The priest thinking about what he said, nudged the drunk and apologised. 'I'm sorry to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?'

'I don't have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does.'

Yes, and I was tickled pink (and impressed!) to see someone use 'malinger' properly!!!

So, Astra, don't let the nincompoops (*DUCKS*) stop you from sharing your funny jokes!

I knew you'd misinterpret that as a positive statement.

*looks up*
Where?

No, I knew you were making fun of me, hence why I called you a nincompoop.

Look in the mirror and you'll see a quack.

No, I knew you were making fun of me, hence why I called you a nincompoop.

Sometimes, Nymphy, it is quite elucidating to look up a certain word

There's no quack in my mirror... it's brand-new!

There is, however, some funny-looking chic who keeps talking to herself... obviously deranged!

Do those days usually end with you getting punched in the mouth?

Every word I don't know, I look up. Really wouldn't expect to because of a joke, but I did. I guess it just wasn't funny to me. 2 for 2 Astra... come on... give me another shot!

I try to associate with people who resolve their issues with their mouth, not their fists....

Try being the imperative word.

Mac

A necessity more than a preference I’m guessing.
