I would put together a fancy lighting truss for Stymie, complete with a wide variety of clamps and eyelets.

She can't have whoever that dude in the suit is, though. He's my bitch.

Who would you truss?

i'm counting on this thread to become General Discussion Gold, by the way.

no pressure or anything. finish your dinners and whatnot, for heaven's sake.

i'm not architecturally inclined enough for this thread.

don't let the man in the suit intimidate you. just cover him with a post-it note or something.

Anxiety said:

i don't know if that is going to help me much. when i first read the title of this thread, i thought it was about dressing a turkey with those white booties.

if i had to do that to an orger, I'd pick 2the9s.

JasmineFire said:

that's completely valid! i think truss covers a lot of territory.

Anxiety said:

but when i did a google image search of the word "truss" all that came up were weird lighting fixtures like the one you posted.

I guess I'll just make something up.

I would choose this truss for paintedlady:



It's circular shape makes it stand out and also allows for a variety of creative uses.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!

this complicated and overdone truss would be perfect for Threadbare due to his love of multitasking.

I think it's time for you to post another truss for an orger, anxiety.

this is a longitudinal truss. it is for zombiekitten.

Truss me baby, truss me

JasmineFire said:

You get me.

Anxiety said:

I think that would look good in her basement, where we're going to have our zombie party.

Meanwhile, I see this being perfect for an eventual barn. Room for plenty of talking creatures.

What?

ThreadBare said:

it looks more like that greenhouse in the X-files movie where they were growing the alien babies.

Stymie said:

HOLY CRAP

i just bought a book this week about the '70s-'80s art scene in new york, and in one of the pictures, posing along with a bunch of old skool NYC east village hipster types, was MICHAEL IMPERIOLI!!!

Anxiety said:

Pssst! Anx, man, SHHH The less she hears about Mickey the Imp, the better. Edit your post, before she sees.

Thanks. Ever grateful, TB.

Anxiety said:

OMG!!! What's the name of that book? I wanna see it!

ThreadBare said:

Too late!!

JasmineFire said:

See?

JasmineFire said:

it's this:



it's a fabulous book, imp or no imp.

Anxiety said:

I think I would like that book, imp or no imp.



See Thredbare, now you know what to get me for my birthday.
