THE PHASERS LOOK LIKE GLUE GUNS. "Don't look yet, but the security detail really went Martha Stewart on that hostile alien lifeform." I had to go to ThinkGeek to figure out that there was a ray-emitting bit that was detachable, and that was what Kirk used in those episodes where he was nuking androids and stuff with a garage door remote. (But garage door remotes hadn't been invented yet, right? I'll stop soon, I promise.)

I have to admit, my favorite part of 'the cave' is when Vina or whatever her name was comes in and you're like, Yep, dudes called the costume department and asked to borrow the nearest thing to a medieval costume they had for a chick.

Although I'm getting to be very fond of the backdrops. It's like, I don't know, one of those Shakespeare productions done minimalistic.

I'm still stuck on Planet Looks Just Like 1960s Earth For Some Reason.

It seems they've been around since at least 1958.

Ha, brilliant - before one of the over-50 flisters comes across this and kicks my ass. XD

Well, I wasn't allowed to drive until 1970.

And lots of people didn't have garage door remotes when I was a kid. (But I think of it as being a kid thing as in my family it was given over to the kids to operate.)

Oh, the phasers WERE glue guns. Borrowed straight from the makeup department after they were finished with them. That's how some of the alien costumes were done. ^_^ Ah, poor ST:TOS with its' dated special effects...

I KNEW IT. (Was going to be all "had glue guns been invented yet" but yeah, alien costumes.) Probably too late to figure out who has one I could borrow for Halloween. XD;

Oh, sorry. I was joking around and thought it obvious that I was doing so; I have no idea if they were actually glue guns or whether they were used during the sixties although I think it showed up a few decades earlier.

As an aside... is that Yeoman Rand lovingly pouring coffee on the ground? I recognize the Bones / Kirk icon from the post, but the heart on this comment's icon is throwing me off.

BTW, if you want to read the business school stuff to get a sense of what it was like it's under this tag (http://petronia.livejournal.com/tag/b-school). ^^

Awesome! Thanks... I'll start there, just definitely not this week. Too much going on. Don't be surprised if comments on really old entries start popping up, though! ^_^
