A Study of Cultural Behavior

[sg_fignewton]

This is for Aelfgyfu, who requested, "Teal'c actually explains something in American culture to Daniel (who is, let's face it, not always the most clued-in guy)." Teal'c and Daniel discuss the relative merits of cultural knowledge. No spoilers, but set at least in S3-4 to give Teal'c time to accumulate his knowledge of pop culture. ~990 words.

> "Is Alan Grant someone at the SGC? I don't recognize the name..."

*snicker* Loved this.

[sg_fignewton]

Yay! And thanks. :)

Ha ha ha!

I don't watch The Simpsons, so I sat here mouthing "The Springfield Isotopes?" to myself until I finally reached Teal'c's explanation, at which point I laughed out loud. Indirectly, I'm a recipient of Teal'c's little lecture myself, because like Daniel, I ignore a lot of modern sports and entertainment. Yet I do medieval literature, including sports (tournaments) and entertainment (romances, parodies)!

At least I know Alan Grant isn't at the SGC! (Okay, maybe I double-checked the IMDb to be sure I was right, but I was right, and that's the point!)

I love this ficlet, and I'm chuffed that you did my prompt!

[sg_fignewton]

Whee!

I don't watch The Simpsons either! Wiki can really be your friend sometimes. :) (I laughed at the "Isotopes" thing because it was SO tempting to twist it to include Sam...) And I had to wiki Alan Grant too, so you're still doing better than me!

So glad you enjoyed the fic. It was lots of fun to write. :)

Teal'c was probably letting his eyebrow do all the talking.

Heeheehee My favorite part of the whole story! :) Actually, I totally enjoyed the whole thing, especially since your Teal'c voice is perfect!

Love this!!

[sg_fignewton]

What a lovely compliment, thank you! :)

Teal'c's eyebrow pwns EVERYTHING.

What she said :)

[sg_fignewton]

Thank you kindly! :)

Oh, dear. Dare I confess that I had never heard of the Springfield Isotopes, being one of those freaky people who have never seen a single ep of the Simpsons? Or even that I don't know who Alan Grant is either???

That, however, did not detract from the fic glee!

[sg_fignewton]

Go right ahead and confess! I had to look up the Simpsons wiki for appropriate trivia - I've never seen a single ep either. And Alan Grant (of Jurassic Park) was found via Googling adventure movies in the year 2001...

But fic glee is good. No matter how we get there. :) Thanks!

Heheh. I am almost as clueless as Daniel when it comes to pop culture more mainstream than LOTR. Really enjoyed this!

[sg_fignewton]

I must admit that I am even more clueless than Daniel. It was easier to write his side than come up with Teal'c's pop culture knowledge!

Glad you enjoyed. :)
