Ben, how long has it been since you've eaten out of a lunchbox?  I, at the
tender age of 17, can safely say that I have NEVER eaten out of a kid's
lunchbox with "glass in the thermos," or metal in the hinges or latch.
Well, let me qualify that last part.  ALL-metal lunchboxes used to be
more prevalent, but they have been replaced by the ALL-PLASTIC kind, like
you own right now.  I'm not talking about the big black ones manly men
take to lunch on their jobs, I'm talking about kids' lunchboxes with
cartoon characters on them and the like.  I don't think Best Brains is
being terribly cheap--that
s how the suckers are MADE nowadays.

All right, the plastic itself isn't worth $20, but the souvenir value
(and the fact that these are produced in limited quantities) can jack
the price up.  Welcome to the 90's.  :)

I wouldn't carry my lunch in it anyway.  It's a collector's item!  :)
I'm not entirely sure they intended for the lunchbox to be an actual
working model, anyway.  It's just that it seems so COOL, in a juvenile,
look-I've-regressed-to-my-childhood, do YOU have a lunchbox this cool? kind
of thing.  :)

Hey, teen gang, this is kind of a silly question, but then again I've seen
nothing but in this newsgroup...

How come Tom Servo is the one who decides when it's time to leave the
Mystery Science Theater for commercial breaks?  Is it because Joel used
the special parts which control that to build Tom?  And how is this
relevant?

C'mon, girls, let's take up some more bandwidth on this question...

Great skit, but _why_, oh WHY, didn't they use the BGC-19?  That had to be
hard to make; and how many opportunities are they gonna get to use it?
(apart from the credits of every episode, I guess)  Maybe it's dismantled.  

I just think it would've been funny if Joel had attacked Timmy with the
BGC-19.  Don't nobody ask what a BGC-19 is - if you haven't seen that very

Well, when I wrote my letter to Best Brains last year (back when
the Info Club flyers were grey, not yellow), my flyer listed my
number as being 7640.

Now, when I got my "Turkey Day" postcard this November, the number
7592 appeared just above my name on the mailing label. Now, it's
entirely possible that the number on the card means absolutely
nothing, but the fact that it's so close to my member number has me
wondering.

Now, I've only written to BB once (I CONFESS!), so it's not like I
should be on their mailing list with two numbers. Maybe I should
write them another letter just to make up for it? (Or, heck, just
write another letter...)

I don't have my issues of the SOL Newsletter with me to check the
label on those. (Alas, my first issue has vanished forever from my
home *sob*...uh, I'm okay now.)

Big fan right here in Sherwood Park, a suburb of Edmonton Alberta. I began

"Johnny at the Fair" was great!  Much better than the experiment.  They
weren't quite able to keep it from getting "dark," like Joel warned them.

But the experiment was really good in places.  All the priest references
got kind of old after a while, but there was one classic line:

	"We're not the only ones who know about this."
	CROW: "God knows, Davey."

What a neat show.

YES!  But I won't reveal the answer because ... (brief moment of embarassment)
AS USUAL I can't remember the perpetrators although i can hear it clearly
in my head and recall some of the famous people mentioned. A local 
radio station (WHFS) still plays it every so often, so it may not be 
as obscure as you think, Peter. Catchy little number!

The thing that impresses me is, Joel and his buddies are way
too young to know all this stuff (another example: Firesign Theatre).
Looking forward to hearing the answer (which I'm sure I'll forget again
in due course... sigh).

p.s. Hey Erika, watch those sexist suppositions! Who says JOEL can't 
do the housework on the SoL? Anyway, that's what 'bots are for (not
our sentient buddies Crow et al., of course). ;^P

Norm Abrams, isn't he Bob Vila's sidekick on PBS' old "This Old House"?
He's a master carpenter/builder I think.  I'm not sure what he's doing
now, except I thought I saw him with a fix-it show of his own once.

He may have been the inspiration for Tool Time's Al on Home Improvements.
