Yep, we used flash (or rather she used flash and I watched her do it and made suggestions). She didn't have a lot of experience with it so that made it more interesting. Also, we submitted it to Adultswim for their shorts contest, so she wasn't altogether pleased with the end result but we were under a deadline.
Yeah, I totally forgot to bring something to protect the mic and I have a big problem with plosives (particularly the P's, which sucks when the subject matter is pretzels). Another problem we ran into was the sound guy's daughter was aleep in the next room while we recorded, so we were whispering and yelling simultaniously (as in where I had to yell 'SAMMMMPPPLLLEEE').
Glad you laughed.
