the white shack

in sayth aww-strayy-yah



FYI: For "Jaws," Universal Studios forced a "little person" (pc term?) into a shark cage... against his will... with a real live white shark... so they could film the scenes where Richard Dreyfuss gets attacked. They threw chum in the water and all.

For "scale purposes" & such.

That's pretty cold shit if you think about it.

1. You're up early and thinking awfully hard about some

crazy shit. I only saw that movie once, years ago. That was some scary stuff. Of course, I would never swim in the ocean at night the way the girl in the opening scene did. :hi:

[sundog]

2. no, E! was showing their "making of" special for the 30th time

[JimmyJazz]

3. I love those kinds of shows.

I saw one on the muppets and Sesame Street - it was pretty cool.

BTW - did you keep the meat and cheese list I sent you? I'm sending you some rolls and "official" Philadelphia hoagie oil. :)

I'm also hi-jacking your thread in case you were wondering.

[sundog]

4. groovy

I want to make a vegetarian version :)

[JimmyJazz]

7. I don't think so. Bean sprouts and sun dried tomatoes do NOT

belong on a hoagie. Do I have to get Skittles in here to kick your ass?

[sundog]

9. yes.. you know I'll love it

:P

[JimmyJazz]

11. Skittles! Paging Miss Skittles - There's an asskicking needed in

aisle 4! BTW - Can I watch? Apparently, I'm a perv - or so I've been told. :P

13. You can only watch

if I'm there to hold yer hand and shield yer eyes when it gets too gory. Skittles does fine work, but it's def-nit-lee an NC-17 rating...

[JimmyJazz]

14. Excuse me, but who said anything about you being there?

This is me, Skittles and sundog - go get GOPisEVIL if you are in want of some action.

[short bus president]

17. No way, dude!

If you get to bring Skittles, sundog gets to bring a friend, too. And I just sorta naturally assumed he'd choose me. I mean, he IS Lounge-stalking me...

:P

15. Chevalier Shortbus!

Where the hell have you been??? I've had to take on all these scavery projects by myself while you were off gallivanting around high society!

Dammit! I'm exhausted.

Get back to work! I need a frigging break :P

[short bus president]

16. I've been at Bob Vila Fantasy Camp!

No, not really. I've been scavering about the homestead, preparing for the coming brutal winter while it's 77 degrees and sunny. :D

5. Love the Aussie phonetic spelling. :)

I don't get it... so the little guy was in the cage WITH the shark? That's nuts!

And I think that 'little person' is indeed the preferred term over midget or dwarf. Not sure, though.

[sundog]

6. yes, it's true

I think they gagged him & pushed him in...

The poor thing! Talk about suffering for art!

[redqueen]

8. !

And I thought William Friedkin having Ellen Burstyn pulled roughly onto her back was bad!

[sundog]

10. but the really funny part

is that the Australian photgraphers are there telling the story, yet the "little man" is not there to speak for himself.... :scared:

[redqueen]

12. Crikey!

:7

Seriously, though... that's alarming. I can understand freezing your ass off on a set or something like that, but being forced into a cage with a shark?! :o

...twenty private jokes going on in here."

"Twenty-five."

"You're gonna need a bigger thread."
