Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them

I got a bra from Walmart and it's fairly comfortable and it fits better than the ones that are a bit too big since I lost weight.

I also bought one of those bagged salad kits because I like them and I didn't eat it in the first 2 days I had it. So even though it says it's good for a few more days it was all wilted and icky. I hate that. I know better than to let it sit for more than 2 days. It was southwest style so I saved the dressing and we're making nachos one night so I can use that as another sauce.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm pretty freaked out by this set accident.

If people were following the protocols that have been effectively in place for the last nearly-thirty years it shouldn't have been possible.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I don't know a ton about production, but even I know enough to say YUP, you are 100% right. I'm honestly wondering if it wasn't an accident. (I'm not blaming Alec Baldwin and saying this was premeditated on his part. Not at all. But he isn't the only person on that set with access to that prop gun.)

In short, the actor and the weapons master are the people who touch it and it's on an active set or is locked up. Actors don't take it to lunch, don't take it to the bathroom, don't lie it down on any not-in-scene surface. If actors go on any sort of break they check it back in with the weapons master. Actors use it in the scene and the weapons master locks it up. Any work a weapons master does on it is in a controlled location.

It's so terrible.

Our wings are not tired.

It is horrifying. I'm sure we will find out what went wrong, but mostly I can't and don't want, to imagine what it would be like to accidentally kill someone.

And then if the gun is actually DRAWN there's a whole speech (and you'll hear it about sixty times) where you're told what the gun is, how it will be used, what it can and cannot do... and then its offered to anyone who wants to see it and shine the flashlight through the blocked barrel personally. This happens repeatedly.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I remember earlier occasions when people were killed on set with prop guns ... even ones with blanks.

John Rogers said on Twitter that any time a gun is in use on his set, he puts it up against his hand and fires it before they do the scene.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It sounds like that was a bad situation before the shooting.
