Whenever I Need A Laugh, I Watch This

My favorite line: "Hey! You can throw things through Dad! I'm gonna get an anvil."

I think one of the things I enjoy the most about Mystery Science Theater 3000 is that these guys took a simple idea that any of us could have thought up -- making fun of the movies and doing so in a TV show -- and turned it into a success. Gives hope to schlubs like me who are cooking up ideas that anyone could think of.

The Best Part

Kerplunk! by Patrick F. McManus

Admittedly, I myself was getting a little tired of the advances in technology. It used to be that all the different kinds of wackos sat out in their little isolated cabins or apartments somewhere. Each went through an entire lifetime without seeing another wacko of his particular ilk. Now a wacko can get on the Internet and find the other nine wackos in the world who are just like him.

McManus goes on to say they get to gether to decide what to blow up, but given the Unabomer lived in an isolated cabin as a Luddite and still managed to blow things up, there's a little flaw in McManus' logic. Nevertheless, I see where he's going with this.
