One question that has been nagging bot builders for years… Where did the engine block on Tom Servo’s torso come from? The only information they had was that Joel got it off a used toy car. Now, thanks to sledge_riprock over at the Bot Builders Info forum, it looks like the source has finally been found. Read the post here.
Sitting Duck suggests:
What’s your project? 
Kevin, Bill, Mary Jo, Bridget, Trace and Frank will join forces with Cole Stratton, Janet Varney, John Hodgman and Paul F. Tompkins for “RiffTrax: Day of the Shorts” on Sunday, Jan. 20, at 4 p.m. at the Castro Theater in San Francisco as part of the huge Sketchfest 2019 event. Frank and Trace will also do a “The Mads Are Back” show on Saturday, Jan. 19, at 10:30 p.m. Bill, Kevin, Conor Lastowka, Tompkins and “Weird Al” Yankovic join forces for “Audible Presents: The Pole Vault Championship of the Entire Universe,” on Sunday at 1 p.m. Have fun! We haven’t talked to you about this before, and you deserve an explanation as to why. One of the cardinal rules we live by at Satellite News is “the cast is entitled to a private life.” The standard example was: if Mary Jo gets a speeding ticket on the way to the studio, that’s not something we’re going to report.
A real-life situation arose a while back when J. Elvis was hospitalized with kidney cancer. It was not something we reported. But in a move that does not surprise us at all. J. Elvis has worked his illness into his standup act, and it’s great stuff. Enjoy. And to J. Elvis, many happy new years to come. |
