Ah...comms chatter - a potential source of great entertainment for those who work in the broadcast industry!
A director I often work with likes to say
"mention my name and you'll get a good seat"
when someone in the crew has to excuse themselves, perhaps with the remark "I'm just going to put a deposit on some porcelain".

Oh the fun we had today, riffing on on the General Manager, who kept the staff, the talent, and the volunteers waiting a half hour after we were supposed to wrap, just because he decided five minutes before the end of the show that he wanted to be a camera-whore.
Quote of the day, by moi:
"God,that guy is slick. I don't know if I can contain myself, I might just leap right over the camera and have him."
The boys in the control room loved that.

The majority of the natives of this Tartarian region are in full keeping with the scenery—savages, without the grace of savages, coarsely clad in filthy garments, with no change on week-days and Sundays, they converse in a language belarded with fearful and disgusting oaths, which can scarcely be recognized as the same as that of civilized England.

There was a quote I read somewhere on the ship that I can't find any more. Can anyone enlighten me?
I think it was someone's sig and it went something along the lines of: " Touch the wounds in my hand, stick your hand into my side, if someone said that to you at a party you would slowly back away"
