Speaking of the number 42 - try typing this into the Google.com search engine: life the universe and everything google Note the very first entry.
Okay, here is my "short" story about the number 42.
Back when my boss was about to go on maternity leave, she appointed this new woman (whom I'll call L) to be the department supervisor - she had little experience, but we all pretty much liked her, and .
At my boss's going away lunch, my boss handed over the reins by going on about how clever L is and talked up her potential quite a bit
Then my boss gave the floor to L, who said, "I'm here to help. Feel free to ask me anything!"
So, I asked her, "What is the answer to life?"
L thought for a moment, then blathered on about this and that and yadda yadda yadda.
To which I responded, "No. The answer is 42." She stared at me blankly. So much for all that cleverness and potential.
Hey you could do that with every ep. It would turn everything on its head. OTOH, if you switch them up in every ep, I think all you'd accomplish would be that the emo brother would be the short one. LOL!
OTOOH, it would be cool to see Jensen play the emo one and Jared play the cocky one. Which would be different than seeing Jensen imitate Jared's version of Sam and Jared imitate Jensen's version of Dean.
However, there is something to be said about putting them into roles which they have not traditionally held and seeing how that affects their relationship. I'm sure we all have our own ideas about what their roles were in relation to each other growing up - if Dean was always the strong one, always the one to take care of Sam, how would young Sam have dealt with Dean when he had the flu? How had Sam going away to Stanford changed how Sam dealt with a less-than-tip-top Dean? And how has Dean being in Hell changed how Sam deals with a less-than-tip-top Dean?
And trust a scientist to know the secret to tubes. Your solution worked! I hereby appoint you my tame scientist. Your lame scientist?
You realize that everyone I see with damaged nails now I am going to suspect of Grand Theft Auto? Only potential Grand Theft Auto. The successful thieves would use a hair drier to soften the adhesive and a blade to scrape the registration tag off in one piece so that they can use it on their stolen car.
Did L stand for Loser? Oh dear. Nice but without a sense of humour or a knowledge of THGTTG? Sad. Unfortunately I work with people like that. Um except most of them aren't redeemed by niceness :(
Hey, Dean might end up the emo one, but he'd prefer it if you said he was concentrated not short. He's sensitive like that. (I'm concentrated too - but at least I'm not bow-legged.)
All those wonderful questions. So much fic to write to explore them. *rubs hands together with glee*
*squints at screen* I thought I typed a T not an L. Ooops. Ahem. How about my Designated Goddess of Knowledge then? THat sound better? It comes with a sash.
It scares me that your mind is full of all this amazing stuff. An alternate use for a hair dryer. Darn. Wish I'd read this post before I went to the hair dresser this afternoon to de-grey my hair. I could have borrowed her purple one and conquered the world with it.
Have you ever considered global domination? I think you would be awesome at it.
