I was watching my DVDs of *cough*QAF*cough* this morning like every day and every night in the past few days, and I suddenly started to think all of the extras who play in this series - it made me laugh like crazy. I always thought being an extra in a movie or a show had to be quite enjoyable, but somehow I have the feeling it reaches a new high with QAF. Though for some of them it must be a little frustrating:

Extra69: Dude, I told my friends I was an extra in QAF and no one believed me!
Extra87: That's harsh. Why didn't you show them the episode you were in?
E69: I did-- I was one of the guys giving an other a blowjob in the backroom of Babylon, they just saw my hair. Didn't believe it was me.
E87: At least your hair was visible, I was the party favor in one of their orgy scenes - I had four guys on top of me. Nobody saw me at all.
E69: That's harsh.
E87: *sigh*

Sorry lol Just struck me as funny. I'm easily amused - add some gay pr0n reference, and I'm laughing my ass off. Everyone needs a hobby, right?

Oh and since I'm being silly and unproductive right now, here a little meme going around on my flist. Gacked from turps33.

How to make a Mouse

Ingredients: 3 parts intelligence 1 part silliness 3 parts leadership

Method: Stir together in a glass tumbler with a salted rim. Add a little cocktail umbrella and a dash of caring

Username:

Well, like I told Terri, I rather like the 3 parts of intelligence, and I guess my flist will disagree with the 1 part only of silliness, but I don't know what they were on when they picked 3 parts of leadership. Also, I protest because I deserve at least 5 parts of kinkiness, and I got none. Though I do have the term rim in this meme, so maybe it'll do? *eg* And cocktail too... if we really want to stretch it.

Wait, did I use stretch, cock and rim in the same sentence? Hey! This meme is funnier than what I thought!

Would you do without me, huh?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's much better!

Would you do without me, huh?

It's too terrible to think about so I can't imagine.

I think I'm enjoying thinking about those extra as much as the character sometimes [/exaggerating]

Usually, the extra who's making me laugh is the one in a battle scenes. I just love imagining the producer or whatever telling them I want you to scream your head off and run as if the Goddess of Het was behind you and wanted you-- okay so maybe it's not exactly what they'd be saying, but it sure would make me understand how to play the scene!

But I found even funnier in QaF :

Please quiet-- GUYS! I want your attention please... Thanks! So hear me out. I want all the guys on my left to drop their pants, and let's say the brunettes of this group will take everything off, we'll do the blondes next time. Yeah yeah, that was one mighty pun, now shut up, we're working! Then the ones on my right can just take their shirts off-- now the ones on the left, yeah the one with their naked asses, you're going in the backroom and take positions. Excuse me? What position? On your hands and knees, bent over, facing a wall your legs spread, facing away from the wall your legs spread, standing there your legs spread, sitting on someone's lap legs spread, do I need to tell you everything? Just spread 'em and assume the position! I want you all to look 'fucked'! And in a GOOD way! Now, the ones on the right? Look focused for god's sake! You're sucking dick or fucking tight asses-- show some pleasure! I want to hear moans and whimpers... is that clear? Now huh yes, those with a red badge? You're for the orgy scene, I'll give you the whip and the handcuffs later on.

This is too much fun!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

ROTFLMAO!

That's perfect! I'm sitting here imagining that scene and a very pretty one it is too! Also very funny *g*

Wait, did I use stretch, cock and rim in the same sentence?

Yes, I think the meme has accomplished its purpose. The 3 parts leadership is pffft and the missing parts of kink make me curious to see just what kind of Mouse it makes! Because all that, and with only 1 part silliness, well, I picture a Mouse in a suit!

And I'd rather picture you in leather straps. *pouts*

Who wouldn't!

Hal mentioned they have problems with the extras since they tend to want to get naked and have sex even when they don't need them to be. Cher bless gay men.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Eeeep really? This is so cool! I'm becoming fan of extras for the first time in my life! lol

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

Yes, oh, I am supposed to ask you how to say:

"stir the damned shrimp" in French for someone's story--please? I think she has it pretty close but as I am retarded, I'd like to run it past you. *mwah*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

stir the damned shrimp

*blink* I'm not even sure I get the meaning of the English sentence! lol Stir as in, someone wants to eat a shrimp and the other is taking forever to-- what? Are they cooking the shrimp? What's the context again?

Don't tell me it's a sexual reference! lol

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

It's actually not for once.

No Jack says to Daniel something about stirring the shrimp. Like, "I'll stir the damn shrimp" then goes, how do you say that in French?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know that this line caused problem for a lot of people I asked-- so it wasn't just me *g* Apparently we're all fine translating obscene stuff, but ask us to translate something normal, and there's nobody left! lol

Anyway, depending on the context, let's say this translation could work : Mélange ces putain de crevettes That said, if Daniel would say 'damn' without problem in English, I don't really see him saying 'putain' in French, so Mélange ces fichues/foutues crevettes would be better.

Now, could I have a bit more of context? Like, I know it seems easy to you, but I swear I'd like to know what comes before *precisely* lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Or tell me how she translated it, I'll tell you if it sounds right *g*

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

Tournez-vous les crevettes, si vous plait.

Wait, on second thought, that's not correct. See, the thing is, I'm not allowed to tell too much of the context cause I am under a gag order about the fic.

But let's say Jack says some things, than goes, "stir the damn shrimp." like in a manner to get Daniel to stop bugging him, then Jack asks Daniel how you say that in French?

If you need more clarification, ask me, and I'll send other stuff over e-mail? **lots of kisses**

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Tournez-vous les crevettes, si vous plait.

In any case, this translation isn't correct *g*

1) Tournez-vous is an interrogative form which wouldn't work here.

2) The 'vous' shouldn't be used when Jack and Daniel are speaking to each other. I know the damn 'vous' is used in the French version of SG and I'm still mourning, but believe me, it would be wrong to use it here, they're lovers, aren't they? Or even if they were just friends, I would use 'tu' anyway.

3) 'S'il vous plait' is the same thing, it would be 's'il te plait'... now, since in the original sentence 'damn shrimp' was used and seeing from this little bit of context, I wouldn't automatically use 's'il te plait' anyway, it would be sorta of counter-productive in a way *g*

From the original sentence, "stir the damn shrimps" I'd definitely say "Tourne/Mélange les fichues crevettes" or "Tourne/Mélance ces fichues crevettes" are correct.

Now the only 'problem' is this damn stir thing... but one of those two verbs would be appropriate here *g*

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, when I actually paid attention to what she has written, I was like hey, that is in the form of a question. I didn't even think about the formal vous thing. Thanks. I'll give this to her.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

This 'vous' thing really must be a hassle for those who don't have this kind of thing in their own language. It's also a mistake done by a lot by people who try to translate French on-line or otherwise.

Actually, I heard that mistake in QaF too, though from the context, it could *eventually* be considered as 'not-totally-uncorrect'. Still, I'm pretty sure they didn't try to think of the proper way to say the sentence. To their defense, I'll say that all the other French words they used were right, and even pronounced correctly too. They're good with one-word French *g*

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

Yes, I always forgot about the vous versus tu thing, but it's like that in most languages I think. English is lazy. Go us?
