Mark and Ted's Excellent Adventure in Drama

Ok, I'll tell the story. Ted and Mark are at Wooden Nickel going through the list of gear that has been assembled for us per Kevin's instructions. We know we are supposed to have a "taco cart" and among all of the stuff is the "real" one (see Blaine's picture" and also this orange cart:

Mark says to Ted, "um, where's the taco cart" .... Ted says to Mark, "I bet its this one cause it looks like you could, like, fold a big taco in it." Mark says to Ted, "I bet you're right. We're good. Let's load this stuff and we can always ask Kevin when we get to the shoot."

So, we've got this damn thing in the truck when one of the rental house assistants says, "hey, where are you guys going with that cart?"

We sheepishly unloaded it and returned the "home depot cart" to Wooden Nickel.

Wow! Mark... what bad timing.

Here we are feet away from each other and still can't get this right!

I was posting an image making it look like you knew what you were doing and here you are posting a story that we didn't!

Oh, man... it was great fun though!
 
I just love how the film industry changes the names of everything...

C-47: Clothes-pin
Waver Strip: Power Strip
Stinger: Extension Cord
Craft Service: Snack Table
etc.etc.etc.etc.

You guys ever use the term "flying in" on set? It's one I use pretty frequently when asked where something is, or if I can get something... just curious.
