Some bits from the SPN Official Second Season Companion

[agt_spooky]

I didn't get to do as much reading as I wanted to last night, since a vicious headache hit me after getting home last night, but I did flip through the whole SPN Second Season Companion and thought I'd share a few things I thought were interesting.

First, there are some really nice color pics in there and on the very first page, in the Foreword, Jensen's name is spelled wrong! D'oh!

Ok, here are some tidbits from the Did You Know blurbs:

From Nightshifter:

If you look closely at the background during the helicopter scene you'll see a billboard that has the Supernatural catch phrase "Scary Just Got Sexy"

~~~~~

Purple Nurple recipe:

1/4 oz blue curacao liqueur
1/4 oz vodka
1/4 oz apple schnapps
1/4 oz sour mix
1/4 oz grenadine

~~~~~

From Roadkill:

In the scene where Dean shoots Greeley in the back of the head toward the camera, when the ghost's head explodes, it is actually a popping water balloon.

~~~~~

From Q&A with Jason Robins, the on-set caterer:

What do Jensen and Jared like to eat?
Candied salmon, plain chicken breast with salad, but most of all, spicy Tex-Mex.

~~~~~

From Folsom Prison Blues:

Andee Frizzell, who plays the nasty ghost, also played the supernatural beast in Devour, which stared Jensen Ackles.

~~~~~

From What Is and What Should Never Be:

This episode was inspired by an episode of Buffy, entitled Normal Again, in which Buffy is stung by a demon whose venom gives her hallucinations about what life would be like if she wasn't a slayer.

~~~~~

From All Hell Breaks Loose:

Jim Beaver and Jensen Ackles worked on Days of Our Lives a the same time (for several seasons) but never had any scenes together.

Sam was resurrected on May 2, the day he was born.

I'm looking forward to actually sitting down and really reading the book tonight instead of just flipping through it. Did any of you get yours yet?

Really well that fucks a fic I just finished writing lol - I may need to re-write the end - So Dean makes his deal on Sam's birthday? Happy Birthday Sammy!

You know, reading that about when Sam was resurrected totally threw me! I never knew that that was supposed to be the date during the episode. I like it, though - Sam "dies" and is "born" on his birthday. Good choice on Eric's part, but I wish it'd been obvious in the actual episode what the date was!

[godamnarmsrace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a shame because that makes the whole epsiode and really everything tied to it since then so much more, you know? Just wow!

Hehehe... I loved that UK Promo! In fact it was the first SN icon I made and for the longest time it was my default icon.

Candied salmon, plain chicken breast with salad

LOL! Chick food ;-) Guess that's how they maintain their faaaaaabulous figures! Though I'm not sure about the Candied Salmon. It just sounds weird *snikker*

Sam was resurrected on May 2, the day he was born.

Oooooo! Cool. I love the fact his b-day is 5 days before mine :-) Now if I could just get a date for when John died.

ETA: Haven't gotten mine yet. This weekend unless I come across a convenient bookstore during my work travels.

That promo was great! I wish the ad folks here in the US could've come up with something just as good! I never noticed the billboard in Nightshifter, though. Gotta go watch it again. Oh, what a hardship. :-)

Though I'm not sure about the Candied Salmon. It just sounds weird *snikker*

I thought the same thing! What in the world does that taste like? But since it's got 'candy' in the name of course Jared likes it. ;-)

Now if I could just get a date for when John died.

Yeah, I don't know if there's a way to figure that out. Hmm...

I read the whole thing last night and it was good, so if you find it, pick it up!

[dairwendan.livejournal.com]

I got mine!

I think my favorite part is a story one of the crew tells, can't remember exactly who it was right now. But Jensen, Jared and Sterling (Gordon) were playing football, and the ball flew over and beaned him right in the face! Boys! *LOL*

Also, the hair lady says that they have to trim Jensen's hair twice a week because it grows so fast. She compared him to a Chia pet!

I was happy to see a lot of quotes from Raelle Tucker, too.

OH! And in the section on how to identify a trickster, it says look out for anyone who 'eats a lot of sugar and plays pranks' - Jared's a trickster!

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

I got mine!

Yay! Did Casey bring it home for you from the store? :-)

That was poor Donald, the sound mixer! We got to see him in the Day in the Life thing. Man, that had to hurt!

The chia pet thing nearly killed me! LOL!

Ah, Raelle, I miss her SO much.

Jared's a trickster!

ROTFL! You've discovered his secret!

I ordered mine so it could arrive any day. Of course it needs to be imported so I probably should have a bit more patience.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

I read the whole thing last night - it'll be worth the wait. :-)

[tracys-dream.livejournal.com]

It sounds really interesting and I've alwayd wanted to know the purple nurple recipie.
I can't wait to receive my copy.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

I've been to various conventions where the bartenders try and come up with something when we describe it, but it's never tasted all that well. Now we've got the real recipe!

[tracys-dream.livejournal.com]

Time to test it out.

[almightyspaz.livejournal.com]

I ordered mine yesterday so it may be in by saturday or monday, depending how lucky I am

I just got mine today. I can't wait to read it.

But... spicy Tex-Mex.

No wonder there is the Jared Farting scene in the blooper reel. ;) LOL

ROTFL!! Oh god, that's brilliant!

The cd I'm going to send you is going to make you feel SO MUCH BETTER, BARB.

I promise.

Or, ya know, it might make you feel a whole lot worse. Which it probably will knowing how much you hate the music I pick out for you!

Or send me into a relapse with bleeding ears. ;-)

Hey, I want to see if my bookstores stock these books - both Season 1 and Season 2. Could you just give me the proper titles and the author/s, so that I can ask around properly?

That would be great, ta.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure, they're called Supernatural Official Companion (Season 1 and 2) and both are written by Nicholas Knight. :-)

[leodragon1.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Knowing the author will help, the stores be able to tell me if they have it in no time flat.

I so hope they stock them here.

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing all these facts with us!

I totally have to make purple nurples one day. YUM!

<3

You're welcome! Your icon totally rocks for a comment about purple nurples. LOL!
