Vitamin E enhances your sexual potency (so I've heard).  So Crow was

You hear that voice every week. Never heard it called Liza.
Usually it is called "Magic Voice" or something. It counts down to

Just got a tape from a friend a few weeks ago with "The Unearthly" and
"Master Ninja I" on it, and through large chunks of these movies (and
the shorts "Posture Pals" and "Appreciating Your Parents",) whenever
someone on screen would go to sleep, or their eyes would close or
anything like that, one of Joel or the bots would yell "Sleep!!"  The
effect is very funny, but I'm sure it's a reference that I'm missing.

It's also a catch phrase too, so I'd think that file needs to be
updated.


So, what's "Sleep!" a reference to?

        Actually, this topic has cropped up before, and not just on the basis 
of the number of AA-related jokes on the show. On several of the shows, in 
the end credits, they frequently offer Special Thanks to "Bill W."-- the 
pseudonymous founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.

        As far as I or anyone else has been able to tell, if there is an 
AA-er on the show, he's unknown. And since the second word here is 
_anonymous_, I'd like to leave the question as it stands out of courtesy.

And one chapter is dedicated to that antics of Jim Mallon when he was at

Hmmm, There does seem to be two groups with views on Weinstein's

Tom Servo and Larry. I think that I fall into an entirely different

group. I've been watching MST3K since it's beginning on cable-- and

I never liked Josh Weinstein. As Larry I found him more annoying than

funny, and as Tom, I just never liked his delivery very much or the

personality he imbued upon Tom. I was overjoyed with the appearances

of both Frank and the "New" Tom Servo. IMHO Frank is much funnier. . .

Should I get out the abestos suit now?

The main rate regulatory part of the bill dealt with basic cable, which in
most cases means the bare minimum number of local commercial stations plus
a few educational and informational channels thrown in.  This leaves out
MTV, Comedy Central, CNN, and a many other "non-pay" channels--which people
usually pay more for anyway to get.  (The statistic I saw for basic cable
service was around 1% of all subscribers.)  There is some commotion to get
the FCC to regulate the other "non-pay" channels as well.

  Actually, high muatation can hamper evolution unless selection is varied
accordingly.  I have a short program that "evolves" strings.  If the mutation
rate is 1 in 10 a long phrase takes about 750 generations to evolve.  The same
phrase with a mutation rate of 1 in 5 can take hundreds of times longer.

(about 10-15 messages)- Is that enough of a response though?  What format
would people want them in.  I currently have them in .wav format because
I use them in Windows 3.1, I can convert them to .voc, .au (Sun sound), or 
the Next sound format.  What ever people want I can supply.  Please e-mail
me the format you'd prefer, I'll put the most asked for format on the site.

PS: One of the better sounds I have is from backwards, when the club manager
    is yelling at Rimmer and Kryten, my sound editor is really good and I 
    was able to reverse it, what he's saying is incredibly funny and he's not
    yelling at them at all, he isn't even addressing them.

I remember at one time, Rimmer was giving a mayday call, and queried Lister

I think she just made some nonsense noises that they ran through an effects
processor.  There are plenty of boxes out there with "reverse reverb" which
produce a sound similar to the waitress lines.
