Q-Tips

[Sad Max]

Ever since noting that in Star Wars Episode I the vast cheering crowds at the pod races were mostly composed of thousands and thousands of little painted and dressed-up Q-Tips, I can't look at big crowds without thinking, well, Q-Tips.

Watching the msn feed of the inaugural, in my office, and the Washington Mall is cheering screaming excited happy Q-Tips, as far as the eye can see...

They honestly used q-tips in star wars? Or are you joking?

 

[Sad Max]

No joke. The miniature stands built for the pod-race sequence are populated by thousands and thousands of little Q-Tips wearing little costumes.

No joke, Q-tips

Wow I thought you had to be kidding! That's alot of qtips and tiny costumes!

 

[Sad Max]

I think from now on when I work on anything involving huge numbers of extras, I'll just call them 'Q-Tips.'

 

[Postmaster]

Hey you, get the Q-tips in, and make sure they look nice.
Can we put some of the q-tips in the back?
Nah, too much q-tips make it look too busy.

Hehehe - like that idea.

Never miss their marks

Never show up hung over at call

Never complain about craft service

Never blow their lines

Can be used to clear gunk out of your ears and nostrils

(ways in which Q-Tips are better than human actors...)
