This is somewhat off topic, but while we're on the subject of the
amazingly bad Master Ninja movies, is there an FTP site where
I can get a .VOC file of some of that keen Master Ninja THEME
Song?  It'll make a swell gift!

Are we still doing the invention exchange?  I have a neat

They're also used for external devices on Sun workstations, and I'm

Hi!  Ya'll might remember just a while back, when I was asking
around for a copy of the MST3K love theme to use as the recessional
music for my upcoming wedding.  (Note: I'm marrying Brendan, another
regular on this board ... hi, love!)  Anyway, we also decided to send
a letter to Best Brains, asking for permission to use the music, 
since the wedding will be videotaped.  We also said that if Gypsy
would be on Earth at that time, she could be a bridesmaid ... ;^)

Anyway, in last Friday's mail, we received a padded envelope.  In
it was the following letter from the wonderful folks at BB:

-------------------

Dear Ms. Ketterling,

Enclosed please find a copy of the MST3000 Theme.  We made a tape
for you to use at your wedding.

Of course this tape is to be used strictly for personal use, and not
for rebroadcast.  We're sorry to inform you that Gypsy has other
engagements and will not be able to make the wedding, but she does
send her best.

Best wishes to you and your partner in the not too distant future.

Thank you for writing.

Sincerely,

Ellen McDonough
Production Coordinator

---------------------

Sure enough, enclosed was a tape apparently made from their master
copy.  The sound quality is splendid.  Aren't these people great?
It's nice to know they still take time out for their fans.

See you in cyberspace,

  I was kind of tired when I watched this one, but I noticed the complete
change of plot from the Demi Moore/Sheriff to the disabled girl dancing.
The same sort of plot change happened in 'Fugitive Alien II'. Is this a

I'm still writing up my lab report for my invention.  Look for it soon in
this space.  As for "Castle of Fu Manchu", I plan on being appropriately
anesthetised in time for the start of the movie next week, so I'll miss

Well, I think most of us here in Denver are planning to attend.... (Aurora
Schmaurora, it's all Denver metro)   

So far I only know of one person on this newsgroup who's coming to the con
from outside the area.  If there are others, feel free to write to me or the
other Denverite who posts from this site to this group regularly (I don't
want to volunteer him formally for help duties without asking first).  I
have attended many Starcons in the past, and it's a bit commercialized but
there's still plenty to do.  I have a flyer from the con (they misspell
Joel's name - "Hodgeson"!) and I can send out info.

   I just realized to my horror the predicament I (and to a certain extent
we all) are in!  I was having a discussion with a friend about Wayne's
World since it is being released on video.  The general consensus was that
wild horses could not drag us to a movie so bad that it insults our basic
intelligence.  We would never shell out money to see a movie that bad but
maybe, MAYBE we MIGHT watch it on cable.  Then I realized how hippocritical
I was being as I WILLINGLY sit down for at least two hours a week to see
_the worst movies ever made in the entire history of movies_! Things so
bad that the makers of the film probably wouldn't watch it.  And yet I
enjoy this, tremendously!  God help us all.  I jus' can't figger these
humans out!

Watching MST3K and enjoying every minute of it,

Hello Misties,

Submitted for your approval: more Amiga MST3K sounds in 
mst3k/incoming/Amiga on Syrnx. See the file readme.newsounds for some
Amiga-specific info. I'm about half-way through DaddyO (a movie repleat
with good samples, IMHO). 

Thanks for the suggestions on good samples and the kind words. I try to
clean the samples up as I go, but sometimes background noise does intrude
a bit. I'll try to get the suggested samples for you all as time permits.

I was a SHORT running TV show from the early 80's.  I believe MN I and MN II
hold all the episodes that were made.  It was a 1 hour show.

I've always sort of felt the need to address what I feel to be "MiSTie
Myth", that Joel and the 'bots need bad movies to show their stuff.  If you
pay attention to there stuff, I'd say less than a quarter of the jokes can
be directly attributable to the utter lack of quality in the movies.   The
rest of the comments are of the sort that could be made on "good" higher
quality movies.   In fact, some of their cross reference type humor, would
work better on quality movies as there would be more recognizable
stars/directors.

I think that they could do a bang up job an many higher quality movies.
While I'm certainly not talented enough to come up with the lines, I can
see them doing:  Amadeus, Star Wars, Highlander, Batman, both Terminator
movies, Ordinary People,  a Fistful of Dollars, Rocky, the list goes on...

I must add that I feel they wouldn't be nearly as effective on a comedy
movie.

As far as our office goes, of the 25 DIFFERENT computers we have,
about 23 of them CURRENTLY USE SCSI or SCSI2, including our PC's. Mac
has FAR from cornered the market on SCSI. SCSI is a standard
Peripheral Communications standard. It makes things that much more
interchangeable. Yes, Mac's can read PC SCSI drives, & Vice-versa.
