Teal’c: If the coordinates are for a Goa’uld world which is not on the Abydos cartouche, the Goa’uld will most likely not expect us. I believe a medical attack could be successful.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Surgical attack, Teal’c. It’s called a surgical attack, and I’d feel like an idiot.
Captain Samantha Carter: Sir?
Jack: I was answering Daniel’s question. If we don’t do something now, and they do attack later, I’d feel like an idiot. We go.

Dr. Daniel Jackson: Hathor was the Egyptian goddess of fertility, inebriety, and music.
Colonel Jack O’Neill: Sex, drugs, and rock & roll?
Daniel: In a manner of speaking.

I think tequilla is a cure for hot spicy mouth the way it’s a cure for ugly… just numbs it a little. [Pointing to Grant wearing a sombreo playing air guitar on a broom.]

Peaches vs Sugar
This is my thoughts on Peaches & Creme cotton yarn by Elmore-Pisgah Inc. versus Sugar ‘n Cream by Lily. I tend use P&C more than SnC for 1 reason only – WalMart carries it and WalMart is close.
Personally I like SnC better. It’s softer. Other than that they knit up very similar. WalMart has limited colors, but they are very inexpensive and they are the closest to home. And with gas prices the way they are that makes it doubly cheap.
Lion Brand has a version too, but I’ve never used it. Lion Brand runs about $4.99 a ball. SnC runs $2.19 to $2.41 per ball. And P&C is about $1.27 – which is another advantage. Red Heart has a version also ($2.19) which I’ve never used it either.
I’ve been using the yarn with the following pattern. Pot Holder / Hot Pad (requires registration). It’s a pot holder that uses 3 strands knit together. It makes a nice springy, thick piece. And when it washes it shrinks up a bit and tightens up. I’ve been giving them as gifts. And so far they’ve gone over well.
I’ve been using the following patterns for embellishments.
Elmore-pisgah Kitchen, Bed and Bath Patterns
Peas and Carrots Scrubber Cloth
They make really cute gifts. I’ve put snaps on the peas, carrots, and sunflowers so that the pot holder remains functional (as well as decorative). Plus I usually don’t wash the pot holders before I give them so there is a chance the green peas and orange carrots may bleed when washed.
When I finally use the other brands I’ll give my thoughts on them.
Ba’al – Stargate’s Resident Bad Guy
“Baal – as in bocce?” Ok. I think Ba’al is sexy. He’s evil. But delightfully evil. So once you get past the whole evil bit – he’s sexy. In my opinion, it’s the confidence that just oozes from him that makes him so sexy.
Cliff Simon, who plays Ba’al, does so with great ability. He makes him delightfully evil. He makes the character very believable.
Stargate SG-1, Lost City Part 1, Quote
[General George Hammond sits down in Colonel Jack O’Neill’s living room, looks at the bottles of beer on the side, and points to them.]
General George Hammond: You wouldn’t happen to have another one of those?
Colonel Jack O’Neill: I would.
[Jack goes to the dining area, and gets a six pack of bottles.]
Jack: I hope you like Guinness, Sir. I find it a refreshing substitute for… food.
Code Purple
I forgot. I learned that at Chester County Hospital Code Purple means that all the beds are full and there are people waiting in the ER for beds.
