- a title made up by junior production manager Ford, who in Rodney's opinion shouldn't be allowed to name anything, ever

I don't know what I like most about this fic, the sexual tension between John and Rodney or the sly nods towards SGA canon (and the fandom!). :D

Oh god, I've been laughing so hard at this! When Rodney froze in front of the cameras, all I could think of was Ralph and Ed from "The Honeymooners" selling that kitchen gadget on TV! LOL I know you are probably too young to get that. *sigh*

Anyway, great, funny story. And I especially loved the fan letters about Rodney's hands, and arms, and belly! Heee!

On to part two...

Hee, thank you! But yeah, I'm afraid I missed "The Honeymooners" due to not having been born yet. ;)

Oh.My.God. You did it. You really did it! I read the summary and I DID NOT BELIEVE IT. But ... you actually put Rodney on Home Shopping. With John-of-the-sweaters. And you gave them fans. LEGIONS of fans! Fans who idolize about their arms! their hands! their bellies!!

Oh this is priceless. And I'm reading on. 'Cause there's more! :D

I haven't finished it yet, but I wanted to let you know that at the beginning of the fic (when Rodney agrees to work for Atlantis Corp.), I spotted three 'Shepherd' instead of 'Sheppard'. I dunno if the trend continues, but it seems to me it's an attack of the spell checker of doom.

Uh, no, that's on purpose. Rodney can't quite remember John's name. You know how he is. ^^;
