Since I posted some time earlier that I circulate tapes (if you ask, beg and
plead and send mail first to make sure I have what you're looking for), people
have been asking me if I had the original KTMA-TV 23 shows.  I don't.  *Natch*.

(I *DO* have "The Crawling Eye," however, for those interested parties.  It's
a *very* good dub of a dub of the original master from Best Brains.  Please
e-mail for more info.)

However, it doesn't hurt to ask if anyone out there does.  If anyone has *ANY*
copies, good or bad, partial or whole, please contact me.

Yeah, someone left the # on here and I gave them a call:

Me: Yes, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter that I heard was free.
CC: (Sounds shocked) S-Sure.... hold on (puts hand over mouthpiece, I hear

CC: On the what?

Greetings yet again.
I just remembered something else that might be of some use to getting this
group to more systems (at least here at UB). The group "Junk" usually has 
groups until there is such an overwhelming number of posts in such little
time, that the control message goes through. I can remember seeing proto-
groups such as alt.rodney-king, alt.desert.storm (or whatever the title
was) popping up, filling the group Junk so that, that was almost everything
on the board itself. And *POOF* the next day I had a message if I wanted to
subscribe to it or not.
Anyhow, my point is, maybe, if we get enough posts on it in such a small time
(we're looking at ~100 a day) maybe the control message could get sent.
So cross posting or posting through a news-server or any other way, constantly
might be able to get the group up to more sites.
Comments?

PS. I cross posted this to it - hopefully it'll make it!

   Okay, so I'm going to be in Minneapolis next week and figured that I
could try to get away and tour the studio.  Only a few questions (yeah,
right).

   1. Where, exactly, ARE the studios?  As in the exact street address.
   2. How does one arrange for a tour?  Write ahead, just show up, or
       something else?
   3. Is the tour (if any) worthwhile?  When are they?
   4. Is there anything I should take?  (With me, that is...this question
       is for those of you who have actually been on the tour before.)

...and anything else I should know.  Please email relevant information to
me, and I'll put it all together for a later post (and the FAQ).
   Thanks!

This is Vanessa writing (with permission) on Alan's account.

While I can't help you with the _Being From Another Planet_ reference, I
*can* tell you that the "I love my dead gay son!" line comes from the
movie _Heathers_, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.  Ryder and
Slater set up the murder of two latent-type jocks to look like a suicide
pact.  The father of one of the jocks says this at his son's funeral.

P.S. -- I frequently peer over Alan's shoulder to read this newsgroup, and
I want to thank all the people who post the transcriptions of the skits.
Because I don't get cable, I'm subsisting on a diet of transcripts and
(occasional) tapes.

	How about America and her murderous plunderous ways? On particular,
conservative Republicans or anything thereby associated?

	For example: (note: I've been waiting to get this off my chest for 
more than a couple of weeks...) Remember the movie a couple of weeks ago
(teenage caveman, I think) which featured the intro piece starring Ross the
animal catcher? How 'bout the reference to the Young Republicans and the
withholding of info from the press in Rocketship X-M? The list goes on
and on, and most of the references I have repressed because all in all it
IS quite possibly the best thing on commercial television. Hey, if you 
can't stand to be offended once in a while you probably are watching too much
TV in the first place; besides (in all fairness) the boys DO often attack
the Kennedy clan and they ARE from the People's Republic of Minnesota.

Hello Misties!
I just wanted to relate a recent experience my wife and I had with the folks
at Best Brains. My wife and I recently had a baby boy, and we thought it
would be fun to send a birth announcement to B.B. We wrote them a little
note asking for some "miracle baby growth food", and hoped for a reply.
Yesterday in the mail we received our SOL news, and who should it be 
addressed to but our new son George! Since he's only 4 weeks old, I wonder
if he's the youngest Misty yet.

I thought that was pretty nice of them. Of course I would have liked a signed
poster, but hey, it was free.

By the way, has anyone spoken to B.B. about the possibility of selling the
complete MST video library on tape? I for one would LOVE to have a commercial-
free copy of all the episodes.

What do you think sirs (and madames)?

Yep..I've had similar occurrences. For some reason the forklift thing is more  
of a recurring theme than I ever noticed before.

Some weeks ago I posted a reprint of an article where someone FOR REAL was  
almost killed by a forklift (He was actually killed by what the forklift was  
carrying :(...).

There is a movie on Showtime this month 'Class of 1999' that has a murderous  
forklift scene....

There was another movie on HBO that someone told me had a scene with a  
forklift-gone-bad.... This person, btw, doesn't watch MST3K but she is familiar  
with the forklift song because when I saw Class of 1999, I started singing it!

Hmmmm, is there a connection??

Hmmm... In this world of Squirt Gun Control legislation (Super Soakers
cause kids to be shot with real guns - solve the problem - ban Super
Soakers and other squirt guns - obvious, right?  :-), perhaps it's time
to start registering forklifts and requiring a 7 day waiting period with
a background check?

Perhaps we should just ban Assault Forklifts but preserve Recreational
Forklifts.   I'm sure the NFA (National Forklift Association) will have
a very strong lobby, however.

"If Forlifts are Outlawed, only Outlaws will have Forklifts."
"You can have my forklift when you pry it from my cold dead fingers."
"Forklifts don't kill people.  People kill people."
... the right to keep and bear forklifts ...

From what I remember Joel was talking about dreams/nightmares or dreaming.  I

taste in mouth and it haunted me for weeks and months.  Maybe this is some
