Even Cirque Du Soleil Technicians Are Impressive


Submitted by: Harald via Submit a Kludge!

Are those beer cans dangling from the scaffolding? If so, looks like Cirque is doing a redneck run. Redneck, contorting clowns…no thanks. *shudder* – Ms. Fix-It

Fixer Time Kitten says, “That man has counterweights of steel to be on that rig.”

    *gasp* Now you’ve done it! You know who you are. I hope those of you responsible are pleased with yourselves. You hurt Ms. Fix-It’s feelings!

    What are those things hanging down his back? 2 beers for a breaktime snack? An old-timey cell phone? “Helloo? Hellooo!”

      Those are the lights that he’s hooking up… you can see another pair already hooked up next to his head.

    • Little Girl Blue says:

      Those things are called “zingers” — a little-known electrician term. You see, after the technician gets done hooking-up all the necessary wires, he’ll complete the circuit by sticking his index finger on his right hand in one of the receptacles and his thumb on his left hand in the other receptacle. Voilà! Ambient lighting AND barbecue!

    Also also, he’s not maintaining three points of contact at all times!

  9. JoeVK says:

    Is it just me, or does a large portion of the floor seem to be covered with duct tape?

    • Little Girl Blue says:

      Actually, those are the cremated remains of previous technicians who attempted to scale “The Ladder of Death.”

  10. Thadius says:

    Hey, why’re all those boards connecting my stilts togeth- uh-oh.

  11. Leo Lichtman says:

    At the very least I would suggest he put the lower ladder with the wide end down.

  12. dono1 says:

    This Na’vi electrician should realize the only way to tame such a dangerous ladder is by plugging that ponytail into it. Otherwise, Avatar meet Gravity.

  13. ryad says:

    That is not scaffolding, it is trusses used to hang lighting and sound equipment. You will see them often hanging either vertically or horizontally at concerts. It seems like a strange application in this photo. Especially with the ultra small lights attached to it. I would bet that this room will eventually be some sort of lounge or something.

    • Harald says:

      actually, it’s my photo studio – the trusses are for any kind of lights, and on this photo, my worker is mounting some neon lights into them. Of course everything was much safer than it looks, but I liked the photo :-)

  16. klutzo says:

    Don’t you know it’s unlucky to stand above an upside down ladder?

  17. Wynsquezr says:

    He’s finally found something other than drugs to get his ass wired in the morning – it’s the first step down that hurts

  18. Carly_the_technician says:

    Oh, so we are getting into kludges in the entertainment industry now, are we? Good lord, that would break the internet…

    note to self: include instructions for ladder to avoid getting redneck stuck in scaffolding.
