      they are. Amanda goes home at the end of the day and gets in the shower and does the laundry or takes out the trash just like we do.

      MS probably gets up for the 2am feedings of his daughter. CJ probably goes to parent'teacher conferences and i'm sure RDA has cleaned up his share of kid messes

      They're just like us. they get tired, sore, irritated, bored. they laugh, get hungry, gotta hit the loo....they just have really cool jobs

        In other words, remember the good manners your mother taught you when you were a sprog.

        Always say please and thank you.

        Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
        To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.

        Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
        And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

          Yup. They put their trousers on one leg at a time, just like normal people.

            I'll bet they even take the city bus or the public train once in awhile too.

              And get weird looks, along the lines of "That guy over there looks very familiar for some reason..."

                LOL

                having seen some of them in their 'off season' garb, with some of the guys folks are probably wondering 'who's that reprobate???'

                many actors, especially the guys for some reason, seem to revel in going with the long hair and unshaven look. which, when you mix it with clothes that, while fashionable, often look like they're straight out of the rubbish bin, lends more of a 'street person' air to them

                    For example - Colin Cunningham (Maj. Davis). On screen he's this uptight, straight laced USAF officer from the Pentagon. In person he's madder than Mad Jack McMad from Madville USA.

                        Galaxy Quest is IMO highly exagerrated. But having said that, when my friends and I (fellow Trekkies/Gaters) saw the movie originally, we were kind of ticking off on our fingers the number of supposed cliches we'd actually seen at various conventions.
