Gee, the passing out of money sounds like more proof that these guys are
Sub-Geniuses. As if the use of "Pink Boy" wasn't enough...

Best Brains says that the KTMA episodes are owned by them, but they are held up
by problems derived from the Merger of Ha! and The Comedy Channel. Now that
KTMA has "found God", and become KLGT, there are probably even more problems.
Thanks for the report, wish I had been there. Or, that the people who run
Minne-Con would have them at our con. but here, the SF-Fan contingent seems
to be "above" such silliness. Too bad, because the Con here has been boring
as hell for the past three years.

Q Zoo: If you're really tired of "Rocky Horror", get ready
for something completely different: Planet Q-Live! Every Friday
night beginning on the 17th, the Angelika Film Center will
host a midnight show of the worst "B" movies in history,
starting with "Attack of the Giant Leeches" --a particular
favorite of ours. The soundtrack will be killed, and in its
place will be live improv by the Planet Q comedy troop.
Each show starts with old sex and driver ed films. So what's
the most memorable line ever uttered in a sex-ed film? We'll
tell you tomorrow.

If you've been watching the show on Friday nights, you *have* been seeing
the Comedy Channel episodes.  They're currently showing second season shows
on Fridays, which were (like the first season) originally made for The Comedy
Channel.  This is part of the reason why I was puzzled when I heard that
they won't be showing the first season anymore.  If it's supposed to be
because it was originally made for The Comedy Channel, and there are now
complications because of the merger, how is it they can show the second
season with no problem?  Not to mention the fact that they showed the first
season a few months ago on Comedy Central, so it's odd that this merger
problem didn't affect it then.

Well, I experienced my own personal hell this past Friday.  Here in Chicago my
cable company does the old switcharoo with Comedy Central and VH1.  Basically
VH1 in the day and CC at night.

Friday night I come home and just want to relax and watch the late showing of
MST3K (11:30 P.M.).  I despaerately try to find a tape that I could cannibalize
to record whatever was going to be on (was it RING OF TERROR?).

11:30 hits and I'm making a late-night snack so I just let my timer do the
work.  I come back into the living room and what do I see?  GALLAGHER!!! 
Apparently the cable company forgot to switch over earlier in the day so I was
still watching VH1!!!  And to add insult to injury it was a bad mid-80s
Gallagher show!!!  The irony was incredible!!!  I sat there dumbfounded in
front of my screen watching him splattering the audience with watermelons (gee,
what fun).  My mind slowly grew numb.

I firmly believe that the Mads have something to do with this.

Gee, wasn't this 'incident' really just a lover's quarrel?  I mean, Kevin 
DID give Joel a big kiss on stage!  (For those of you that weren't there, 
THEY DIDN'T _REALLY_ KISS.  Don't blame me for starting rumors.)  Quite 
hilarious.

BTW, the kiss was for a girl who had asked for one from Joel.  Joel wouldn't 
do it, so Kevin had to take charge.  After this, I think Joel found a new 
friend in Kevin.

I must say, you looked great.  I didn't even have time to realize what had

see who didn't belong there.  Happened very quickly.

Not really.  But that's what was said on rac, and I didn't bother

assumed that that was the line.  Anyone wanna attempt to confirm

Hmmm...  there were theories going on in rec.arts.comics a while back
that Joel and the 'bots read rac, citing evidence of rac references.
The best one I can think of is from Attack of the Giant Leeches (I 
think), when they say "It's the cave of Dr. Calamari!"  Dr. Calamari,
is, of course, from the ever-classic Suicide Squid comic from
rac.  Now, I don't know if they were actually making a rac reference
or not, but this does seem rather odd for a mere coincidence.

No!  Don't you see: that's how it all *starts*!  First you're shopping
