It's definitely "You're haunting me!"

I think the music you are referring to is in the bathroom scene when
Stimpy decides to give Ren a bath.  At first I thought it was a reference
to 2001, (and perhaps it is).  But after looking over the bathroom it
reminded me much more of the bathtub scene of "Clockwork Orange".
You know, the one where Li'l Alex strikes up that "inocuous" "Singin'
in the Rain" tune.

Choosing a least favorite R&S episode is like choosing your last favorite
child...but if I HAD to choose, it certainly wouldn't be "Marooned."  I
suppose I'd have to pick "The Black Hole," which ceased to be interesting
to me after the first viewing.  The main humor in the episode is, of
course, the hilarious mutations that Our Heroes are subjected to; but
the mutations were (for me, anyhow) only one-shot sight gags.  The first
time I saw the episode I laughed as hard as anyone, but after that the
surprise shock value of the episode was gone.  Also the "implosion"
ending to the episode seemed tacked on and--worst of all--devoid of
action.

I like this thread--we've been talking so much about what we LIKE about
R&S...now let's chat for a bit about the stuff we don't like so much.
Let's get some opinions out here!

After listening REAL close to "Nurse Stimpy" in an attempt to determine
whether the true line is "flensing" (which, BTW, I *do* know the
definition of, having read Judy Blume's "Blubber" as a child) or
"cleansing," I am forced to admit that it is, in fact, "flensing."

But I don't like it.

I decided to listen more closely to the Oath and the Log Song.

I definately heard "What" for the first word of the Log Song.

Definately, "underleg."


And now for a question of my own:

In "Stimpy's Big Day" when Ren is really missing Stimpy, he goes
to sleep on the couch but his pillow changes in the form of Stimpy.
Now, when he freaks out at the change, does he say "Stop haunting me!"
or "You're haunting me!"?

   Hmmm, I would have said the smoking gun is the obvious references to drugs
that the show uses.  i.e. Stimp sticks out his toungue with a big grin and 
displays all the stamps; everything that could possibly distorted to look 
like a mushroom is made to do so.  Using 'druggy' effects is nothing new,
using depictions of drugs IS (well, as far as I know, that is, and I mean in
something that is presented to a mainstream audience, not underground cartoons)
   I'm not complaining--I think this is great.  But aren't they really playing
with fire by doing this?

Mystery Science Theater 3000. The premise of the show is that these two mad
scientists kidnapped a guy named Joel and shot him into space on a satellite
(the "Satellite of Love") so they can do experiments on him. The experiments
consist of forcing him to watch bad movies (usually science fiction), and
they monitor his reactions. Joel has also built some robots for companionship.
They watch the films with him and do silly little skits based (more or
less) on the current movie. The main part of the show has the movie running
with silhouettes of the backs of movie theater seats while Joel and two of the
robots heckle the film, make gestures, etc. The show runs on Comedy Central
at 12:30am Friday night (really Saturday), and 10am & 7pm Saturday (these two
are the same, but different than Friday's). Watch the show, read the newsgroup;
it's better than my lame description of it.

Am I mistaken, but I thought Leland himself used that line in trying to
get her to take the position?

Gasp!  Didn't you watch The Bradys?  Marcia's toy-making husband lost his job 
for several months and she became an alcoholic!  Think of Mac&Brac's 
malpractice insurance, won't you?!!!!

I want to see Leland have a tete-a-tete with Susan Bloom (maybe in the women's 
room after hours)... and Roxanne walks in and catches them.

Ya know, with all of Roxanne's "walking in.." she should write a book!
