There was a lathe in Galaxy Quest?

You know what will really blow yer' mind... there was a rudimentary lathe in "A Visit To Santa."

Does the movie contain a rudimentary lathe?

What is this actually a reference to, if I may ask?

The line came from the movie Galaxy Quest, and in one of the 20 q games, someone posed that very question, to the guffaws and knee-slaps of many forum members. It is now a classic of the Rifftrax forum.

Yeah, I"ve seen it a lot, but I always thought it was "The Lathe of Heaven" that people were talking about, which seemed a rather obscure movie.  There was a lathe in Galaxy Quest?

Oh come on. Who hasn't heard of "The Lathe of Heaven"??

NEW RULES!

Your question must be in "Haku" format. No, that's not a typo - "Haku".

Write yer question in "haiku" form but without using the letter "i".

[RoninFox]

Oo, more Haiku goodness.  I can't wait.

I mean:
Oo, more Haku goodness.  Can't wat.

[Dim of the Yard]

Only two questons?
What the hell, kds?  What the hell?
'M so lost rght now....

[torgosPizza]

Oo, more Haiku goodness.  I can't wait.

I mean:
Oo, more Haku goodness.  Can't wat.

Clever, but I actually meant no words using the letter "i" - and no misspellings to get around the rule

[skenderberg]

It's going to take some creative phrasing to ask about Plan Nine and Batman and Robin without that crucial vowel.
