(no subject)

I am told that when the writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation got to bits in the script that required references to specific phenomena or workings of the Enterprise, the script would look like this:

PICARD: Engineering! Report!
LAFORGE: Captain, we're having trouble with the [TECH]. The main engines are [TECH TECH TECH], and we can't seem to [TECH]. It's going to be a while before I get them back online.
PICARD: Is there any way to [TECH]?
LAFORGE: Not under the circumstances, but we'll do our best.

I'm currently very nearly done with the latest Who Ya Gonna Owl? segment. Amelia Bones has just asked Egon and Ray why the proton packs still work despite being hip-deep in a major magical field.

My notes are full of [TECH] and [MAGIC] and [BLA BLA BLA].

The scary part is that when I translate that into actual words? It comes out sounding like it would actually work.

Because I'm getting bored waiting for Disaster Services to call me back...

"This is the problem with LJ, we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. I'm going to fix it. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you."
