Hehehe. Aah, ok! Wasn't quite sure if that was an innuendo or not. *^^*~
My gear is pretty hefty, although its about 30% gear and 50% technique, and 20% luck on photos. As far as what I used to shoot the AC photos, though:
Canon EOS 1Ds MK II
Canon 135 f/2 L
Canon 17-35 f/2.8L (ver1)
Zeiss Normal 50mm f/1.4 ZE Planar T* Manual Focus Lens
Canon 430EX flash (on a bracket, usually, with various bouncers/diffusers)

That really depends on the shoot, honestly. A lot of it is if I want to be close to the action (50mm and wide angle), or further back (135mm). And, it depends on how I want the photo to look, as well.
For example:

That's using the 135mm f/2 fully wide open. It is a good portrait lens - useful for singling out a subject, with the background blurred out so that its not distracting. Shot fully open at f/2, it gives that effect. "Stopped down" to f/8-f/16, it leaves the background fully in focus, but at the cost of a lower shutter speed.
The photo here was shot with a wide angle lens, just to give a different perspective on the scene. You -can- shoot portraits with it, but its kinda hard (a lot of distortion, and its hard to make the scene "interesting" when there's a lot of people/things involved in the shot).
Some other wide angle shots are:

All depends on what you want to do, honestly. *^^*~
As for me...I mainly shoot the 135. I switched over to the 17-35 to get some different shots...then back again. So..yeah. A lot of switching throughout the day.
