Yesterday we said goodbye to the darkest Stargate ever made. But now it's time to wipe away the tears, and remember the laughs. Here they are, the funniest moments from Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate Universe!
One of the best things we'll miss the most about Stargate was its ability to make us laugh. Even Stargate Universe was able to lighten the mood here and there. You could argue that Adam Brody and Dale Volker's witty banter humanized the crew and allowed us to feel even more for those space misfits.
So here are the best laughs from the entire Stargate television series. And yes, we're sure we missed something along the way (Stargate was around for a while) so PLEASE add your favorites in the comments.
SGU "Twin Destinies" Redundancy
Here's a classic Volker and Brody "laughing in the face of death" moment. We wish these two guys would get a spin-off. Alas, with the way SGU ended, that seems less and less like a possibility. What about "The Brody and Volker Missing Kino Files?"
SG-1 "200" Teen Stargate
Martin Lloyd (Willie Garson) comes courting with this movie version of "Wormhole X-Treme" (a hilarious and very self-aware SG-1 moment). While pitching the crew, he mentions that they thought about doing an all teen version, this is what Colonel Mitchell and crew imagine. It's also pretty hilarious because this video b...
Also, look it's Finn from Glee!
SG-1 "Family Ties" Teal'c Takes In A Show
Easy gag? You bet. A little condescending to the ladies? Perhaps. But we still love the idea of Teal'c unknowingly attending a Vagina Monologue.
SG-1 "1969" That's Captain Kirk To You
Jack O'Neill is sent back in time to screw with your pop culture. What, like you wouldn't?
SGU "Hope" Numa Numa
Brody tries to put Volker at ease before a dangerous kidney transplant, he fails, and only becomes more enshrined in our hearts.
SG-1 "Holiday"
Teal'c and O'Neill switch bodies.
SGA - Steve The Wraith
SGA - "Duet" Big Kiss
A female marine officer is trapped inside Dr. McKay's body. McKay's face, after the big kiss with Dr. Carson Beckett says it all.
SGA "Phantoms" — I'm sorry for shooting everyone!
SGU "Seizure" Classic McKay
McKay cameos on the Destiny and picks up the pace on deck. Lots of laughs and an overall faster-moving episode.
SGA "Hide And Seek"
"I'm invulnerable!"
SGU "The Greater Good" Yay New Friends!
SGA "Sateda"
McKay is shot with an arrow (come to think of it, there's lots of funny getting shot, or shot at jokes in SGA).
SG -1 The Entire Episode, "Window Of Opportunity"
Possibly the funniest episode in the whole of the Stargate franchise. Teal'c and O'Neill are stuck in a time loop, we all win. Via Youtube user Xenomorph494
Thanks for the laughs, Stargate!

Good News for Cleveland and RTA!
Transit is Changing Look of the American Dream
"In Minneapolis and cities across the nation, public transit and the development it attracts are contributing to a growing appetite for housing in urban areas. Population groups that now have the deepest preference for housing very close to transit are precisely the populations that will grow exponentially in the next ...
Gee, we've already got the rail, running east and west across the city, woefully underused, largely because it doesn't go anywhere. Think about it, where can you go via the red, blue, or green lines? TowerCity, ShakerSquare, the southern edge of UniversityCircle, the inner harbor, and the Airport. All interesting place...
Why is ridership low enough to justify only one car running during peak hours?
1. Because parking is cheap?
2. Because there is little residential density near most stops?
3. Because Clevelanders love their cars and hate public transit?
I'm going with numero dos.
Take a ride heading east on the redline from TowerCity and let me know what you see between dwntwn and universitycircle.

Diners Part 2, or, My Life As A Diner Waitress
Food service came naturally to me. Background in an esoteric liberal arts major? Check. Love of food? Check. Desire to help people? Check. Ability to multitask? Check. It was September after my graduation from college, and my deadline for being removed from the family teat loomed. A friend took me to the diner.
I started my training the next day.
It wasn't too far off from the scenes in Mildred Pierce in which she learned how to order: "two bugs on a raft!" or whatever. In the case of my diner, there was a system in which ingredients were asssigned numeric values. For the kitchen, it went like this:
1. Swiss cheese
2. American
3. Ham
6. Tuna
If you put parens around your ingredients when writing down your order, it meant something was grilled. No parens meant cold.
23/ Mac = Ham and cheese sandwich with a side of mac
(23)/ Pot = Grilled ham and cheese with a side of potato salad.
Drinks were also numbered. 33 was Coke, 44 was root beer. 1 was milk, and J was coffee (Joe is slang for coffee).
The head waitress was a woman named Grace, who ran a really tight ship. She'd worked at the restaurant for over 30 years by the time she and I were acquainted. She wore her hair in an Ann Miller style bouffant flip and she'd regale us with the stories of working at the diner in the 1940's when the restaurant was a more...
When I worked there, however, the diner was in transition, as was that part of the city. It was frequented by many elderly people, some of whom had been dining there since the days when Grace wore platform shoes. After school we served kids from the high school. In the afternoons and evenings we served a lot of college...
The waitresses who raised me, Grace, Margene, Lulu and the young one whose name I can't recall (!) were a resilient bunch of characters, all with their own charms. Lulu was the most timid, had a sweet voice and had been a dancer. She wore her hair in a bouffant and was round but light on her feet. Margene talked like a...
Enough for now.  On another day I'll go into more depth on the customers, and why it is that when I go to the Greek Festival I look for the boss' name in the departed benefactors' wall and finger the letters, happy that he's gone.
