Crazy Random Happenstance: A BBT Picspam!
Big Bang Land hosted a picspam challenge, and I chose to explore five of my favorite Sheldon moments! I tried not to go with the totally obvious favorite moments (for me) in this picspam, so you won't find any pics from "The Panty Pinata Polarization" or "The Work Song Nanocluster" or "The Barbarian Sublimation" or "The Einstein Approximation," or... I'll stop there. What can I say? Sheldon is just a whole bucket of ♥s to me.
I got my caps from Caps by Emma-Jane and Screencaps.org, except for one notable exception: the winking-Penny cap was specifically taken for me by kasiopeia (once more, sugar, you are fabulous!).
Enjoy!
01
"...and I thought, hey! Fish nightlights."
The Luminous Fish Effect.
Leonard: "So… fish."
Sheldon: "I read an article about Japanese scientists, who inserted DNA from luminous jellyfish into other animals, and I thought hey! Fish nightlights."
Leonard: "Fish nightlights."
Sheldon: "It’s a billion dollar idea. Shhhhh!"
02
"I suggest rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock."
The Lizard-Spock Expansion.
Raj: "I’ll tell you what, how about we go rock-paper-scissors?"
Sheldon: "Ooh, I don’t think so. No, anecdotal evidence suggests that in the game of rock-paper-scissors, players familiar with each other will tie 75 to 80% of the time due to the limited number of outcomes. I suggest rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock."
Raj: "What?"
Sheldon: "It’s very simple. Look, scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors."
Raj: "Okay, I think I got it." (They prepare.)
Together: "Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock!" (Both hold up the symbol for Spock.) "Oh!"
03
"Cause of accident, lack of adhesive ducks."
The Adhesive Duck Deficiency.
Sheldon: "All right, there’s no need to bark at me. According to the inexplicably irritable nurse behind the desk, you’ll be seen after the man who claims to be having a heart attack, but appears to be well enough to play Doodle Jump on his iPhone. We have to fill these out. Describe illness or injury."
Penny: "I dislocated my shoulder."
Sheldon: "All right. And how did the accident occur?"
Penny: "You already know that."
Sheldon: "Cause of accident, lack of adhesive ducks. Okay, medical history. Have you ever been diagnosed with diabetes?"
Penny: "No."
Sheldon: "Kidney disease?"
Penny: "No."
Sheldon: "Migraines?"
Penny: "Getting one."
Sheldon: "Are you currently pregnant?"
Penny: "No."
Sheldon: "Are you sure? You look a bit puffy."
Penny: "Change migraine to 'yes.'"
Sheldon: "When was your last menstrual period?"
Penny: "Oh, next question."
Sheldon: "I’ll put, in progress. Okay, moving to psychiatric disorders, list all major behavioral diagnoses, e.g. depression, anxiety, etc."
Penny: "Oh, my god, what the hell does this have to do with my stupid shoulder?"
Sheldon: "Episodes of subpsychotic rage."
Penny: "Ass."
Sheldon: "Possible Tourette’s. All right, moles, lesions or other skin conditions. Soup tattoo on right buttock."
Penny: "Hey, Sheldon. Sheldon, look, I am scared and in a lot of pain. Could you please just take a break from being you for just a minute and try being, I don’t know, comforting?"
Sheldon: "I’m sorry. There, there. Everything’s going to be fine. Sheldon’s here."
Penny: "Thanks. That’s much better."
04
"We’re about to go in and have milk and cookies with Stan Lee."
The Excelsior Acquisition.
Sheldon: "This is Stan Lee’s front door. We were on Stan Lee’s curb, then we were on Stan Lee’s walk, and now we’re at Stan Lee’s front door."
Penny: "Yup."
Sheldon: "Oh, Lord, you just rang Stan Lee’s doorbell. At Stan Lee’s house. We’re about to go in and have milk and cookies with Stan Lee."
Penny: "Okay, sweetie, I don’t know if we’re gonna have cookies, or he’s just gonna say hi, or really what’s gonna happen, so just let me talk, and we’ll…"
Stan Lee (opening door): "Yeah?"
Penny: "Are you Stan Lee?"
Stan Lee: "Oh, damn."
Penny: "Hi. I’m Penny. This is my friend, Sheldon."
Sheldon: "We’re not friends at the moment. Depends on how this goes."
Penny: "Right, right. Anyway, Sheldon here is a huge fan of yours, and he was supposed to meet you the other day at the comic book store, but he kind of ended up in jail."
Stan Lee: "I see. And you thought you’d just come over to my house uninvited?"
Sheldon: "You said we were invited."
Penny: "Oh, no, no, I said I’m inviting you to come with me to Stan Lee’s house."
Stan Lee: "You know, you fan boys are unbelievable. Do you think you can just ring my doorbell any time you want? I mean, why don’t you just come on in and watch the Lakers game with me?"
Sheldon: "Well, I’m not much of a sports fan, but thank you."
Penny: "I’m sorry. He doesn’t really understand sarcasm."
05
"Foolish Wil Wheaton. It was never off."
The Wheaton Recurrence.
Stuart: "You know Wil Wheaton."
Wil Wheaton: "Hi, Sheldon. How's it going?"
Sheldon: "Well, well, well. If it isn't Wil Wheaton. The Green Goblin to my Spiderman. The Pope Paul V to my Galileo. The Internet Explorer to my Firefox."
Wil Wheaton: "You're not still carrying a grudge because I beat you at that card tournament, are you?"
Sheldon: "I'm the proud owner of WilWheatonStinks.com, .net, and .org. What does that tell you?"
Wil Wheaton: "It tells me that I am living rent-free right here. You ready to bowl?"
Sheldon: "Oh! I'm ready. I don't know if Stuart told you what you're up against tonight, but before you stands the co-captain of the East Texas Christian Youth Holy Roller Bowling League Championship Team. 7- to 12-year-old division. Also, Penny's pretty good."
Wil Wheaton: "Great. Then it's on."
Sheldon: "Foolish Wil Wheaton. It was never off."
