Stargate: Atlantis "Motivational" Desktop Wallpapers
       Awhile back on Livejournal, Isis wanted to see some SGA equivalents of the Star Trek "Motivational" posters that float around on the internet.  You've probably seen them in your inbox occasionally if you're a nerd or if you're one of those weird people who likes and sends on forwards. (Shame on you! Shaaaame!) 
       So, here they are. A lot of them.  Some of them contain spoilers for certain events in the series. If you are not up-to-date, you might not want to scan through these yet. 
       Each poster is 1024 x 768 resolution and so will fit a base desktop like that, or, if you have a weird resolution like me, just set your background to black and centre it. Credit, commentary and full text are below each thumbnail. Click to view the full-size image.
             Enjoy!


[info]libitina picked the words/image combo.
Success.
You've made it to the big time. You are a movie actor. What are the chances this television show will pay your salary after the pilot?
Surprise!
It's opposite day!

Teamwork.
Tell your friends which leaves aren't safe to wipe with.
Teyla
has mutant vision super-powers.

Time Travel.
The only real benefit is knowing what you can save on your health insurance.
Treasure Map.
Sometimes, free alien tail really does mean free alien tail and not shiny new toy.
[While Alina was disappointed by Dr. McKay's apparent reading-disorder, Sheppard was rather glad. He at least knew that if you wanted to get Rodney in bed you had to draw him a diagram and include it as a sub-note in a science report.]

True Love.
What's in a name, anyway? He's bipedal.
(No. I'm not picking a person for that. This love is a two way street, darling.)
Universal.
You smelt it, you dealt it.

Upgrade.
Here's the problem. The Ancients ran Windows 3.1.
Virtual.
It's a virtual environment, not a virtual reality. And yes, he did build it from spare parts.
[The file name makes me think of Rodney as a Virtual!Boy! and then think of virtual game boy at the same time. It's like the ultimate nerd fantasy.]

Weapon.
Choose carefully. This is probably the one time Ronon won't kill you for it.
[How often does John get to use Ronon's gun? Not fucking often enough.]
Directory.

I have found all his porn, and it was not even password-protected.
[Fortunately, Lorne, Beckett, Sheppard, Teyla and Zelenka were all too shocked by that fact alone to be in any way surprised that Rodney's porn consisted entirely of closed-camera footage of Sheppard in various states of undress.]

Management
means dumbing it down.
[John and Rodney had perfected this art in the early days of Atlantis. Rodney would half-dumb something (the most he was capable of) and then Sheppard would double-reduce it to something completely insane and yet completely appropriate.]
Stealth.
Billions of dollars in top-secret SGC training comes down to this:
Crouch, completely in the open at the top of this hill inside enemy territory.
[This really was a proven SGC technique.]

Camoflauge.
It doesn't matter if black sticks out like a sore thumb against the forest.  It looks damned sexy.
[Which was why, after Gen. O'Neill had taken over the SGC, black became standard.]
Cock blocking.
Sometimes all it takes to stop Rodney from getting some is
sitting pretty.
[Not that John did a lot of cock blocking. Except that he did.  Especially around blondes.]

Diplomacy.
When in doubt, shoot first; ask questions later.
[This became Elizabeth's new policy after the Genii had broken her favourite gourd.]
Entourage.
You, too can gain fame, friends and fortune!
Through drugs!
