Although I am working on a couple of fics already, I have itchy fingers, so why not request some "5 things" ideas from my wonderful friends list

Five alternative uses Gene could find for his can of 'oops :)lozenger8May 14 2007, 05:28:32 UTC
1. Gene asks Chris to mend his wobbling desk leg. This is a mistake. Chris thinks that the best way is to cut the lengths of wood to the same length. And he can't measure. Or, if he can, he's awfully good at pretending the opposite. So Gene ends up with an office desk that's only an inch or two higher than a coffee table.
And he doesn't just need one can of 'oops to correct the difference.
2. Gene's dark side is markedly darker than Sam has ever anticipated. It's almost as dark as his own. Gene's eyes reflect the light in such a way that makes Sam cringe. He looks manic, possessed, all in all, just as insane as Sam normally feels. Though the use of 'normally' here is poetic license.
The tin has lost its wrapper, but Sam knows what it contains. He's seen it in Gene's filing cabinet, alongside knocked-off bling and acid. Gene also has a little gas cooker sat under his desk. A potentially explosive combination. Though, perhaps, not as dangerous as his temper.
Gene throws the tin up into the air and catches it with grace and co-ordination. He pins Robertson's arm to the desk and sets the tin down on his fingers with force and precision. He hits and pulps until Robertson's hand is a bloodied mess and tears run down his face, thick and fast.
3. Gene says he will cook Sam a fine meal. Sam, for a second, is fooled. Sam waits in the canteen, sitting ready, wondering what Gene will concoct. A nice fish pie, perhaps? Not haute cuisine, surely, but good, wholesome food. When spaghetti hoops are placed before him with a sprig of parsley as garnish, Sam bursts out laughing, and doesn't stop until Gwen comes to ask if they've finished with the kitchen.
4. There are some days when the criminal sectors of Manchester sleep soundly and the worst they hear of are cats caught up trees. On these days, Gene gets bored. Sam doesn't understand how. It's not like he doesn't spend half his time sitting in his office reading his newspaper anyway. But Gene does. And one day he comes out with the product of his boredom - two tins attached by a string. He tosses one to Sam and conducts a long range conversation over the space of half an hour, declaring, emphatically, that City is the only decent team and he's glad Sam's all the way over there, because otherwise he'd be in for a United scum beating.
Sam rather enjoys playing along. It reminds him of his mobile phone.
5. Target practice is always fraught with trouble and mishap, but it appears no one told Gene that the tins you shot into were supposed to be emptied of their contents. The sight of tomato sauce and pasta flying in five different directions is one that will stay with Sam for eternity.

4 killed me ded. Especially the last line. Oh, Sam/mobile otp. These were all terribly amusing-- except 2, of course, which is sad and dark but not outside the realm of possibility.
