Props thread

[dippold]

Thought I would start this.

Anyone have an astronaut helmet? They sell them at abracadabra but thought I'd check in case someone has that ol' astronaut helmet collecting dust in the corner of their room.

Prop requests are some of my favorite threads on this board. I remember when Delaney was asking for gravity boots.

I don't have one, Katie. They Might Be Giants used some in their "Status Got Me High" video in 1992. Maybe someone knows They Might Be Giants? Or Neil Armstrong? He'd likely have one.

You did, it's STATUE

The statue got me high
The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye

The stone it called to me
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(An animated mineral it can be heard)

And though I once preferred a human being's company
They pale before the monolith that towers over me

The statue got me high
The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie
The statue made me fry

I am looking for one of those Coin counting machines, the ones that you put your steel money in and out comes paper money. Anybody know where one of those machines are located. I got a lot nickels.

Food Emporium. I know that the one on 49th/8th has it and I think the other ones as well.

No! Penny Arcade @ Commerce Bank. It's free and you can win prizes- like the slots at Vegas- but backwards.

How's that astronaut helmet search going, dippold?

 

[Holmes]

Coins are not made of steel. Most are aluminum-nickel alloys or copper [pennies].
Also, "paper" money is actually more of a cloth, at least American money is.

See the game here yet?

 

[Whines]

Er...Will, that would be the STATUTE got me high. Not Status.

Whoops! I knew the song, I just don't look up when I type.

I still don't have an astronaut helmet, Katie. I have a superhero costume, if that helps.

I don't understand the other bit going on in this thread enough to feel safe contributing.

Can we have a sticky NYC Prop/Costume resource thread?

Aren't there enough farkin' stickies on this page? No? Ok, I'll be quiet.

How's that helmet search coming, dippold?

 

[dippold]

The helmet search ended at abracadabra. Thanks everyone. And thanks Will Hines, but no, the superhero costume does not help.

 

[dippold]

Does anyone know if there is a store in the city where I can get one of those paper "drywalling" suits?

 

[Whines]

I have a superhero suit.

Wants attention,

I don't want your god damn superhero suit.

 

[PatBaer]

Are you talking about those paper-like jumpers you put on over your clothes? You can get those pretty much at any hardware store.

Yeah, I just found one at home depot. yay! most ghetto astronaut suit ever.

 

[Rosie]

Seriously- I don't want to but anything- so this is for borrowing:

-Super snazzy/ tacky dress- size 6ish or larger
-Feather boa (I know someone has one of these I can borrow)

and does anyone have a karaoke cd with christmas music on it?

Please PM me- you're awesome
