......... Apparently the lampies have the stagehands doing half your job for you while the noise boys have to do ours all by ourselves!

OR, conversely, nobody wants to hang out with the humheads.....

You forgot "How to keep your mouth shut !".

As in, sometimes you don't have anything to add to what is already being dealt with by those more knowledgeable and who are senior to you in terms of responsibility.

I figured that was covered in #17 Be Quiet.

//Also if a lamp blows because of someone touching it you will see a nice big bubble where it was touched.

Most of the time you'll get a finger print as well.

From the SML:

In 35 years I have never heard turtle or dogleg. I have heard to flip it or wheels to the sky. I have never sewed anything, nor will I and have no idea how a fly rail works. I have theatre experience but much more arena experience. The theatres I have worked in had no fly or ones just for the electrics.

We have a saying here for putting on xlr ends. In my honor, it goes like this; the "P1SS" method, "Pin 1 shield Sean!" The first couple times I kept on doing the same thing with the ends, so finally one day I come in and the ends are off a couple cables and a print out is nailed to the wall. The P1SS method has been enforced every since.

I've never heard Turtle or Dogleg in reference too flipping something. Instead, over here in the U.K. we typically use the term Belgium...

You can probably work it out yourself as to why this term is in use...

Does it have something to do with chocolate? Beer?

 

[mrcog]

Well it would be more obvious if we used the term 'Zeebrugge' rather then belgium... :neutral:
