I've got one that has to be up there with the most painful-- and

hilarious-- movies of all time. It's _CC and Company_. For those

of you who have never seen it, it stars Ann-Margret and JOE NAMATH??!!

It's another biker movie (perfect for MST3K). Broadway Joe in all

his glorious acting inability is a biker gang punk whose name is

CC Rider; his dream is to trade in his chopper and become a motocross

bike racer. Unfortunately his fellow gang members believe that they

deserve a major share of his winnings (gawd! Shades of the Beatniks).

Where does Ann-Margret come into any of this. She's a big time model

whose having her picture taken with Yamaha motorcycles-- of course

Broadway Joe falls for her . . . . The horror. The horror. If any of

you guys out there have seen it-- I have no doubt that you'll agree

that Joel and the bots would really do a job on it. hack! slash! chop!


P.S. Well, it's a tough decision to make between Crow and Tom, buuuut

my vote is for Crooooooooooooooooow!

You mean there's music on VH-1?  Seems like every time that I tune into
VH-1, they're showing stand-up, as if there's not already enough of that
on Comedy Central, or really bad comedy stuff, like Gallagher.  Arrggh!!

What's the address?  I've been wanting to bust their chops about that.
They seem to have gotten the idea from VH1, except it's not as bad
there because a) The VH1 logo is mostly transparent, b) I despise the
music on VH1, so I almost never have to see it.

TNT does it fairly tastefully.  Ever 15 minutes or so, their logo will
pop up for 10 seconds and then go away.

     of questions...
 
     My MST 3000 Fan Club Card has no member number on it.  Should there
     have been one?  I know in some recent postings concerning ordering
     merchandise, it was advised to include the member number.
 
     How do I get one?  Or isn't it really necessary?

Regarding the geneology<sp> of the 'bots, it seems to me that it should
be apparent from the technological advances in each succeeding Bot. You
would figure that Joel got better as he worked at it.
Gypsy is the simplest, having no legs or arms, and is probably the first.
She also has a sort of motherly feeling towards the younger bots, which
seems to indicate this too. Tom would probably have come next,  as 
<hate to say this> his brain seems a little more advanced than Gypsy's
and also his method of ambulation. But those cute little arms are non-
functional <usually...>.  Crow is fully ambulatory, with working arms
and hands, and I think he is the latest model/youngest bot.

Whaddaya think, folks?

	My favorite line was, well, priceless. At one point, Johnny watches
an 'airplane helicopter' and the announcer says, "Jeepers! I wish I could go
for a ride in one of those."

	Later on, when Johnny is with the cute blonde ice skater, Crow adds
in the announcer'svoice, "Jeepers! I wish I could go for a ride in oneof
those!"

	THAT one killed me-- subtle, quick, vicious-- almost as good as that
"Hercules Unchained" line where Herc says, "Hm, I couldn't bend it. Guess I
have to stay here with all the nymphs."

	There is an old Ivan Tours show called Science fiction theater 
which had several episodes that are prime MST material.  I saw one
last night with Ward Cleaver, Perry Mason's secretary "della", an
ape and a television clone of Tor Johnson.
	The story is that a "scientist" marries a women at some convention
and brings her back to his "home" situated in a swamp with a prison 
convenently nearby.  The location of the house does not bother the wife
very much.  She has a terrible fear/loathing of apes which the scientist
uses in his experements in animal communications.

	As can be expected, an escaped convict shows up at the house
and takes everyone (except the ape) prisoner.  

	There are many other episodes.  The best dealing with UFO's.
The UFO episodes have a sort of continutity between them, but always
fall just short of proving/disproving that the aliens are there.

Hopefully this won't lead to letterboxed movies with commercials

I've got #2743, but I have to get a new one.

See,  instead of sengind a normal letter to 'em, I used space in
this collegiate humor rag I was editing to write about a quarter-page
(tabloid-size paper) letter. They sent back the number and all was
good.

However, I've come to the conclusion (since they've never sent me
any newsletters or stuff) that I'm not _really_ on the list. So I'll
be going from #2743 to #16XXX, probably. <Sigh>

Oh well, at least I'll have one of the lowest _and_ one of the

 Another consistency I'm afraid. I'm pretty sure that in the first series there
are 169 people on board,
   Confidence and Paranoia:
      Lister: "I'm a nothing. One Six Nine, bottom of the pile!!!"

 but later on this goes up to 1169. The episode your thinking of though is
 Justice from s4 NOT The Inquisitor from s5.
   The Inquisitor wasn't worried about breaking the law, just whether a person
had lived a worthwhile life.

OH SHIT!!!!  So it was.  Oops!!!  Sorry.  Forgive my ignorance.  I think I'll have to watch 'em a few times over Crimbo!

I was wondering if there is a list of episode titles around somewhere
that I could pick up.  I just starting watching Red Dwarf recently, and
I would definately like to know what is out there.
 
Thanks,

Tim.
