Best way to celebrate Friday: Random moments of Jack Harkness

[out_there]

"Now," Jack said, holding a beer high in one hand and using the other to gesture widely across their table, "you have to remember that we'd had four bottles of the sparkling orange wine between us and it seemed like a fantastic idea at the time. John said that if the grey haired old monks could do it, he certainly could, and neither of us even considered that those monks had spent decades learning to bend that way."

Gwen grimaced, like she didn't want to ask but had to. "What did he try to do?"

"Cross his ankles," Jack said, pausing to laugh, "behind his head."

"And he couldn't?"

"Oh, he could. He could and did." Jack's grin widened. "What he couldn't do was uncross them!"

"No, not really," Gwen said around her giggles. "If you got them up..."

"He got a cramp and couldn't move his legs. He started waving his arms around, yelling for me to help, and it knocked him off-balance so he was rolling across the floor. It was a hillside village and those floors sloped. Once he started rolling, he couldn't stop."

"You didn't try to help?" Ianto asked with a smirk that was almost mean.

"I was laughing too hard to breathe! It was hilarious! And there I am, bent over, laughing so hard I'm crying, and he rolled out the door and off the balcony." Jack stopped laughing long enough to swallow a mouthful of beer. "No damage done, other than a few bruises but he complained about his sore thighs for a week."

This is still funny, and I still hurt from trying not to LOL while reading it in my email at work. It should've came with a warning!! I was practically hueadbutting the freakin' computer screen trying not to giggle like an insane person. Co-worker was on the computer beside me giving weird looks, though I think he's pretty much used to my strangeness now. Heh.

Jack is nothing if not entertaining.

The even-more-awesome thing about this story? It's partially based on something a coworker told me during a smoko-break. I nearly spilled my coffee I was giggling so hard.

*nods* It's not so much... It's an easy way of weeding out the names that read my LJ years ago and haven't defriended due to the way LJ friending policies can lead to confrontations and hurt feelings.

Yeah, I know the thinking, but then I thinkg 'but what if I'm one of the ones she doesn't want to read coz we're not in the same fandom so if I press the button she'll be stuck with me!' but then again 'If I don't press it, she'll think I don't like her! She'll think all that strangling was personal or something!'

Seriously, don't confront me with a button, I can't handle the stress.

*giggles at that image*

Well... I blame Jack. He just refusing to give warnings for his behaviour.

[out-there.livejournal.com]

It really should!

[out-there.livejournal.com]

He lives to entertain, he really does!

*laughs* Fair enough.

*removes the stress*
