You're kidding!  Write to them and inform them that you haven't received

on the yellow sheet you first get from them.  If it isn't there, then you
might not have one.  You *should* as Ellie enters membership numbers and/or

Sure, I always thought that Mad Movies or whateveritwas from Nick at Nite
had something to do with it. Of course, it didn't occur to me that it was

Oh, and since I'm here, I decided to do something. Even though it is
my birthday, I decided to give everyone a present - ok, so it's not much

Coooooool!  When we spoke to Mike Nelson about these episodes last year,
he didn't even think they existed anymore.  (I heard something about KTMA
being so broke that they needed they tape space and taped over them.)
It's great to find out that that turned out not to be the case.  I've
been dying to see these for some time now, so I sure hope they'll get to
be shown.  [crosses fingers]

The Amiga Sounds posted to the syrinx site are gre-ee-ee-eeat!  They're
well-picked, well digitized, and a good friend.
Do you take requests?  If so, here are some I'd like to hear:

"Stand by for... Action!"  (from Rex Dart: Eskimo Spy in GODZILLA V. MEGALON)
"I hope you... dig this one!  Ha ha ha ha!"
	(Crow as the Crypt Keeper in MASTER NINJA II)
A small part of the Gamera song from GAMERA V. GUIRON 
A small part of Gypsy's "At Night! BONG!" song from HERCULES UNCHAINED
"By this time my lungs were aching for air"
	(from Rocketship X-M and countless others)
"Whoa!  That's Demi Moore!  Whooa!"
	(from MASTER NINJA)
"Now I want you to remember... no bavasturb ebbah wub a war by biddin fo
 is buvadee!  He won it by making the other poor bavasturb bid fo is buvadee!"
	(Crow as Gen Timothy Van Patten from MASTER NINJA II)
"Pretty good... What do you think?  It stinks!"
	(from POD PEOPLE)
"Mom, Dad... tell me you heard that!"
"I've got a lot of swell stories to tell...  I'll bet!"
	(from MR B NATURAL)

Geez, why don't I just get my own digitizer while I'm at it?  And could
somebody please suggest a USE for these?  I've downloaded all the existing
ones and can't really think of one... They're fun, though!

Thanks, Eric!

OBMSTQUOTE: When Akio's sister (from Gamera vs Guiron) is looking through
a telescope, Crow says: "So SHE was the jackal!"  That one hit me in the
library today and I started laughing uncontrollably.  I guess I'm all messed
up inside.

OBMSTQUOTE2: (Also from Gamera vs Guiron)
"awwwwwww.... Ah!  It's Michael Stipe from REM!"

I recently got SOX for the Amiga. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I'll
try to convert a few samples to .VOC format and upload. I'm not sure why 
you're getting "fuzz" with them. They're pretty clean on my machine.

Well, there's obviously some computer literacy up in the SoL.  There was
one opening skit with Tom and Crow arguing the merits of macintoshes versus
IBM's.  Also, it was in City Limits, I think, where we say someone using a
computer terminal, and during a pause, one of the 'bots says, "It's really
slow, it must be using System 7".

It's always the most fun to watch the show with
one particular friend.  He has an uproarious laugh
that makes the eyes tear.

In _Indestuructible Man_, it was right after the 287,000

Greetings.
I was playing around with my tapes and CDs the other day (translation:
I was bored and had nothing to do) and heard one of the masterpieces that
the amazing group from down under, AC/DC, sang. The song is called T.N.T.
Anyhow, seeing as I had way to much time on my hands, I decided to change it
to give it an MST3K flavor.
So to the tune of AC/DC's T.N.T., here is M.S.T.
My sincerest apologies to Angus and the rest.

Watch him launch into the sunset,
Bottom of the screen.
Joel gettin' all the laughs he can get
If you know what I mean.
Servo on the left of him, 
and Crow is on the right.
Only got a pun,
Stabs like a knife
Watch on Saturday night -

'Cause it's M.S.T., it's dynamite
M.S.T., and they'll be alright
M.S.T., watch them unload
M.S.T., hear them explode!

He's handy, he's cool, and always clean,
He's a tortured man.
Gettin' sent real bad movies
Understand?
So sit with your daughter
sit with your wife.
Lock all the doors
and turn down the lights
I'm not leadin' you around,
It's the best show in town.

'Cause it's M.S.T., it's dynamite
M.S.T., and they'll be alright
M.S.T., watch them unload
M.S.T., hear them explode!

Well, AC/DC fans - whaddya think?

This gem came from "The Giant Gila Monster."

My favorite moment from that particular carnival of a movie was the scene
in which Our Hero's younger sister learns to walk with braces.  After
her maiden voyage, he picks her up and replaces her back on the sofa.
I think it was a Servo line: "Okay, back in the case."

I've gotten so much mail, since I posted about joel being a mac user.
All right already!!! Joel _might_ be a mac user. SCSI was further 
explained to me by _several_ people. It seems that SCSI can be used
on many computers. OK, now let's just drop it. I'll have to find more
supporting evidence that Joel is one of us.

Some of their jokes are so inside-y, I wonder if they even expect anyone
to get them.  There was one about a month ago that unexpectedly evoked a
50s tv show (damn, now I'm going to have to look it up and remember what
it was...).  And then there's the way Tom Servo periodically murmurs
"Jimmy Smits."  It cracks me up every time, but how many others get the
particular ad campaign they're referring to?  Hands please!

Or how about the joke in Hercules Unchained, when hercules is
moaning about how he "can't remember" and Tom says "I was in
Austria during the war!". This is (probably) a reference to 
Kurt Waldheim and his inability to remember his time working
for the Nazis, during WWII.

You think that's bad?  Last night I finally got around to seeing
Fugitive Alien II.  Now I've got to deal with the %$&@#* Forklift song!

At least the closing medley isn't quite so ingrown.

He tried to kill me with a Forklift ...
