Weekend Discussion Thread: If You Could Ask One Question…

Sorry for the late posting!

Alert reader Ted suggests:

If you could ask any character in a MST3K movie or short one question, what would it be? What do you imagine their answer would be?

Oh I think I’d ask Mr. B THE question: Man or woman?

What’s your pick?

    Ah, the agony of choice. Okay…

    For Lt. Lamond from “Space Mutiny”: after Kalgon killed you, how did you get resurrected and just go back to your desk on the bridge, like nothing had happened?

    I’d ask Wilbur (from Once Upon a Honeymoon) why God cares so much about honeymoons and phones. Also, while I had his attention I’d also ask why God cares so much about non-Jesus multipled bread.

    I would ask the Eye Creatures if the appearance of the black form fitting body suits and tennis shoes was a natural process of molting or because someone “just didn’t care.”

    For one thing, I’d ask the Creeping Terror’s Deputy Barney just when he was going to stop playing the field and settle down with a nice girl. (Though I realize his choices were narrowed down by the carpet monster.)

    I’d also like to ask the colonel from Starfighters just how many times his men ended up needing those poopie suits.

    I’d ask Makonnen what philosopher got him musing that every year of his life
    he grew more and more convinced that the wisest and best was to fix his
    attention on the good and the beautiful.
    As exemplified by, for example, Tawny Kitaen and a plate of bratwurst.

    I’d ask the guy-with-glasses from Daddy-O:

    Exactly where in the gym policy does it stipulate you can’t help me? And while we’re on the subject, why wouldn’t you want to help me? Does your job description explicitely require surliness on your part?

    I’d ask Batwoman how exactly she got into this line of work and whether she feels having an arch-nemesis named Ratfink has hindered her standing in the superhero community.

    To: the small furry creature (“Benji”) from the narrated introduction to “King Dinosaur” who was a test subject in preparation for traveling to “planet Nova”.

    “Benji”, did Joel (impersonating your voice) say you were a “TEN dimensional being” or a “PAN dimensional being”? Your answer could have important ramifications for substantiating M-theory. Roger Penrose and I await your reply.

    Not so much a “character”, but rather a real person, I’d ask Kevin Danzig (as part of his ‘Kevin Danzig Band’), who performs the memorable tune, “Happy Today” ( :musicnote: I want to be happy today……. :musicnote: ) in the equally memorable ‘Summerfest’ scene from “Soultaker” (#1001) (“Thank You! Our hand-hewn wood cds are available at the gate!”), just where the HECK I can find a copy of his (entire) song, which, from all the searching I’ve done, is impossible to find ANYWHERE (even his own website, KevinDanzig.com, was of absolutely NO help !!!)


    Likewise, I would ask The Band That Played “California Lady” (“Track of the Moon Beast”, #1007) where I can track down a copy of their ‘classic’….. :-?

    If I may ask another question, this can go to pretty much any of the “monster children” from the Japanese monster movies:

    Okay, when you grew up, were you able to use your childhood government service on your resume when it came time to look for a job? I have to figure having “counseled Japanese government on how to successfully deal with giant monsters” would be a good thing on one’s c.v.
