<KevinMurphy> the rest is sweat

<MikeNelson> There's is going to be a Big Face Mike doll that you make out of a baked ham and add features.

<JimMallon> [lean back in chair, swivel]

<BillCorbett> There will be one of me that is fully seatable and occasionally falls asleep, when not demanding more chicken drummies.

<JimMallon> [yawn, remember bills that need to be paid]

<Moderator> <DanHarkless> to <Moderator>: Ortega seems to be making a lot of appearances on the show. Is he the new Torgo? Hmmm... ORTeGa? TORGo?? Coincidence!?

<KevinMurphy> [dream]
<KevinMurphy> do do do do do do do...

<BillCorbett> [yawning, remembering Jim's bills to be paid.]

<KevinMurphy> [pick nose]

<BillCorbett> (Say in Ah-noald's beefy Austrain accent:) Bahtimn und Roban.

<MikeNelson> Sci Fi has never made a movie that isn't less than brilliant. GET OFF MY CHAT, SIR!

<Moderator> <agentj> to <Moderator>: Bill: previous puppeteer Trace Beaulieu had mentioned he shared a rather deep, codependant, scaring relationship with Crow. Have you found your relationship with the 'bot to be much the same?

<BillCorbett> Yeah!...what he said.

<JimMallon> Bill and Crow went dancing last night.

<KevinMurphy> He sleeps with him, if that's what you're after.

<BillCorbett> Yes! He now controls my every thought, and that is good.

<JimMallon> [speculate on how baffled Kevin is]

<Moderator> <JaneMolly> to <Moderator>: would you guys ever consider heckling the WWW, as part of the show?

<KevinMurphy> You mean Wrestling?

* MikeNelson delivering Pizza to a flop house.

<KevinMurphy> no, that's WOW

<Moderator> <JohnAgar> to <Moderator>: Mike, On "The Making of MST3K" you said you'd like to stay on the show until computer generated dinosaurs are $25. Does that mean if they are ever $26 you'll still stay on?
