**Not to be a nitpicker, but it’s probably more like all day. It takes an hour to get into makeup and costume (two or more if you’re an alien), an hour to establish the lighting for each camera setup (it goes slower on a movie set; for episodic TV, they’ve got a template book that gives you everything you need for nine out of ten scenes on common sets, for speed and efficiency), an hour or more to rehearse the camera moves (why? just one reason in a hundred: the boom operator needs to keep the mike out of the frame, and needs to know what the camera’s going to do), up to an hour to shoot each setup, and so on. If you’ve never done it, a shooting set is a remarkably boring place to be.

The point is, it’s not like Montgomery looks at the script and says, Oh boy, I get to go surfing all week again except for Wednesday when I have to be here for half an hour in the morning. No, he gets the script and says, Oh boy, I get to go surfing all week again except for Wednesday when I have to be here all #*&$! day with my thumb in my ass. **

**That’s 'cause angels are total wusses. Sitting on clouds, playing their harps and preening their feathers all day … they live lives of pampered luxury. The toughest challenge angels ever face is showing up to choir practice on time. They never have to tackle any real problems. Hmph! **

I will now forever imagine angels as large, musical pigeons. Don’t stand under 'em.

You make a good point though; I mean, when has an angel ever ended up in a differently-gendered alien’s civil rights battle? Never. Angels in the Outfield? Maybe. But angels on Enterpise? I doubt it.

Angels on the Enterprise would be treated as alien intruders, and a security team armed with phase pistols would be sent to gun them down.

Of course, the angels would be armed with phaser-cutting phasers…

At least. People get their impression of angels from all of those heavenly hosts singing “hallelujas”. They forget about the bad-ass dudes with the flaming swords.

I was only skimming the thread, and I read “pigeons” as “penises.” My conscious brain caught up in the middle of tracer’s following post, and said, a la Jon Stewart, “Huh-whaa? Best back it up, there, Tex, and see why Kn*ckers is so concerned about not having testicles resting on one’s forehead.”

So I scrolled back up, reading more carefully. Having gotten it straightened out, I went cheerfully on with the thread, but since half of me was still occupied with thinking, How the heck did I get “penises” from “pigeons?” as I read tracer’s post, I was surprised again by the mention of “a security team armed with penis pistols.”

I don’t even know why I’m telling you people this.

[AncientHumanoid]

Sometimes a penis is just a penis

didn’t Q used to be on Days of Our Lives ?
lets see just how far off base we can get

[carnivorousplant]

I suppose the ultimate hijack would be a dieting panda wielding a phaser cutting phase pistol.

So what’s on your mind, Cervaise?

Either way, you still shouldn’t stand under 'em.

Golly gee whiz, Tars. You are so weird.

…"a security team armed with penis pistols."

Anyone else curious as to which setting would be stun with a penis pistol?

[Cervaise]

I guess that depends on what comes out of the barrel.

[Ephemera]

That’s what I was getting at.

Is that a Burroughs thingie?

BTW, since all Martains are hatched from eggs, how did John Carter and Dejah Whosis…well, ducks lay eggs, but people…ahem.

[Kn_ckers]

I think the very presence of a penis pistol would be stunning. I mean, it isn’t the traditional sideam…

[Ephemera]

I wonder what the holster would look like…

And when I say “sideam,” of course I mean sidearm.
