[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Normally I'd post this in Natter, but since this thread needs cheering up -
One of our clients just requested "news footage" of events from a movie. As in, the equivalent of asking for footage of the native uprising on Pandora. I think I was as diplomatic as I could be in my email response, as I did *not* say "Unfortunately we can only provide footage of events from the real world."
"Unfortunately we can only provide footage of events from the real world."
I so wish you could have really sent that!

Um, what? *makes dog-like quizzical head turn*
Silly silly clients.

Heh. I've heard of people requesting footage of Jesus's crucifixion (or resurrection) and of the first landing on the moon - taken from the moon's surface.

Jessica, I admire your restraint.
Oh Sean. {{{}}} I do hope you'd get better, fast.

As if they had a second camera in the studio where the "landing" was made.

We get a request for footage of the Titanic pulling into New York harbour about once every couple of months. At this point we just automatically send them the clip of the sister ship.
(My favorite, though, has got to be the request we got for footage of Columbus discovering America, with the helpful addendum "It's okay if it's black & white.")
