Totally Stupid Cast Member Tricks

Once upon a time...
Before DCA or central costuming, during the infamous time of 15 min cast parking tickets and clocking in at Harbor House there was costuming separated by gender and location with cool windows with doorbells and lines at those windows for days. Anyway, lots of socializing always occured in line at those windows and it was common to basically know everyone. There was a fellow that a few of us gave an extrememly hard time to because he always spoke about his father owning a gun store. That's all he talked about day in and day out. One day a few of us had the great idea to make up a story about how a guest control castmember in Florida was shot and it was standard now that all guest control castmembers were issued kevlar vests. We talked about it for the entirety of the wait in line. So we get him going and he's totally falling for it. He asks where ours were and we responded that we got them already in our lockers. So we hang around and watch this guy ask for his sizes 38-30 pants, extra large shirt, extra large vest then he hesitates and asks for an extra large bullet proof vest! We must of had 20-30 people rolling on the floor in hysterics. That still doesn't beat the time we put a sign on the copy machine that said "voice activated copier" and catching an infamous manager asking the machine "4 copies, please" and then asking one of us if we know how to operate it or if it was broken. Ah, the good ol' days. 8)

Ahhh, those were the days. It was always fun, especially on a nice warm summer evening, to tell one of the rookie vendors that they had to get and wear the blazer (you know, the red & blue polyester candy cane) as they were about to work their first Main St. churros or popcorn shift. The poor guy would usually be sweating profusely within about 20 minutes of being at the wagon. Eventually, we'd tell them to stuff the jacket away for the rest of the night... or not, depending on the individual in question. :twisted:

Those red/white/blue blazers...

Those things could have functioned as bulletproof vests in their own right....completely indestructable...and could withstand the extreme heat of a popcorn pot....or churro oven...

You could; however, soak the sleeve in water....pack it in the dry ice of an ice cream wagon...and shatter the sleeve.

Not that *I* ever did it.
