The next time someone phones me, and responds to my greeting by saying, "Hello?", and then, when I try again, says, "Hello?" again, as if they can't hear me, I'm not going to make any further attempts to steer the conversation into more productive waters. I've done my duty by the call, as far as I'm concerned. If they continue to imitate the actions of a parrot, I shall parrot back, and we can "Hello?" at each other until one of us hangs up.

So there.

Last day for submitting prompts to apocalypse_kree! You heard me, I said, "Kree!"

ETA: Also, this icon, and my research for the fic I posted yesterday (looking at screencaps from Unnatural Selection! Get your minds out of the gutter. I was staring at shots of the chair, working out if what I was writing was physically possible. *g*) reminded me that Jack is unfeasibly hot in that ep. And bad-tempered. Which adds to the hot. I wonder if it has something to do with the black uniform?
 
ETA2: And I think it was yesterday's pic in rda_dailywhich subliminally made me choose that ep.
