OK, folks: brace yourselves for this one.....

How often do you wake up in the middle of the night, and are helplessly
unable to get back to sleep? This could be especially dangerous if you
have an important meeting or presentation the next day. That is why we
bring you the Serta Sound Sleeper. Basically, it's a big piece of wood
that easily fits into your headboard, and goes over your head. When you
wake up during the night, you automatically hit you head and get knocked
out again! Optional timer not included.

What do you think, Sirs?

For all you Amiga MST netters:
I have uploaded a number of 8SVX format sound samples to the syrnx 
anonymous FTP site. They are located in mst3k/incoming/Amiga. I have also
included a program "playsound" which can be used to play them. This
program is nice since you can play sounds larger than available Chip RAM with
it.

Included are a number of samples from Daddy'O including the infamous Pants Up
song, as well as a number of "generic" MST sound bites (Theme song, doors
closing, MovieSign, the commercial interlude, Joel saying "Ummm that's good
stuff", etc.)

More will follow, since I now have a VCR hooked to my digitizer and can
readily grab samples.

BTW - I also have a complete archive in .LHA format of these sounds. Send
me E-mail if you'd like it uploaded as well.

 Well, the Jimmy Smits reference isn't technically an "inside" joke -- anybody
 who'd seen (and remembered) the 'Switch' ads would get it.  "Obscure" might 
 be a better word.  (The point is still valid though; I didn't even pay
 attention to the original ads.)

        Okay, "Logan's Run" was pure trash-- it was the 'big" SF film just 
before "Star Wars" opened-- but "Phase IV" is actually one of the better 
SF-horror films. The acting's decent enough, there's a marvelously skittish 
suspense over the whole thing, and the ant photography is phenomenal. Sure, 
the science is ridiculous, but "Phase IV" is one of the better films of its 
genre.

To the MiSTie aisles:

In several films (such as that thriller "Ring of Terror" :),
the MST3K crew use the phrase "Please don't force me to
wear a clown suit" (or some variant thereof).

Does this quote refer to something specific?

I could speculate about general phobias of clowns or the old
"Kinko the Clown" song, but I have a feeling that these words
allude to something special.

Wow.  You were much more civic-minded than I was; we just taped the thing off
of a first-season videotape and used it.  (We've had a copy of the video 
sitting around to be sent to Joel for *months*; we really ought to do that

I'm afraid you weren't the first to have this idea.  (Hell, I doubt we were.)
You may, however, be the first one polite enough to ask permission.  :-)
(Doesn't it make a *great* recessional?  We were mean, and didn't tell the
wedding party ahead of time what the music was going to be.  We had to halt
the rehearsal in mid-step to let two of the ushers recover from doubling over

Good luck with the wedding, and congrats!

Agreed.  Geez, those Cleese commercials are CRYSTAL clear; he could talk
twice as fast and still be comprehensible.  Gypsy is not EASY to understand
and I miss an occasional word, but usually I follow her OK.  And last time
my hearing was checked it was slightly above normal, but then that was about
10 years ago now.

Anyway, has everyone forgotten the episode where Gypsy had a lot to get off
her... chest, for lack of a better word, so Joel let her shut down the SoL's
systems so she'd have enough CPU time to speak clearly for a while?  Joel's
standing there, holding his breath, trying to be a good listener, nodding
every once in a while... classically funny.

I am a user of two large UseNet systems (meaning, they take every single

Smits was in the movie called "Switch" a few years back.  I don't remember
the context of all his comments, but the word 'switch' was the provocation
for some of them.

Here in the Bay Area there's a radio talk show hosted by Alex Bennett.
On Thursday Alex was on the phone to Best Brains, with Joel and others
answering questions and swapping jokes.  

I only caught part of it, but part of it was Alex and others
encouraging Best Brains to do a live experiment in San Francisco, 
preferably at the Warfield.  

They also asked BB what was the most boring movie they'd ever seen.  I
don't know who answered the question, but one that was mentioned was
"Demon Rugsuckers from Mars."  Also, "Child Bride."

Evidently the one they are working on rigth now, "Fire Maidens from
Outer Space" is pretty boring also.  They said Michael J. Nelson is
pulling out his hair thinking of what to write for this one.

They also stated that Crow's head is a lacross mask.  ;-)

Although berserk shifts in plot are a hallmark of many bad movies, the reason 
for Fugitive Alien, and Master Ninja is the same. They were both movies created
by splicing together episodes of a Television show. Master Ninja showed on
CBS in the 80's under the title "The Master", in a very bad attempt to cash in
on "The Karate Kid". It is much easier to watch with the 'Bots and Joel.

I still find it hard to believe that no one had ever heard of this song
before.  The Weiner Man song, that is.  I learned this song in music class
in elementary school.  They didn't make it up; it has been around for a
while.  I guess it's kind of a catchy tune, but it's nothing special.
Maybe, however, I don't have the fascination others do with it just because
I learned it (and had to sing it) in fifth grade.

Are you sure you don't mean 3.2% beer? That is the weak beer you get here in

that don't even get that high...
