Weekend Discussion Thread: What’s in Pearl’s Purse?

Alert regular Susan suggests:

I had the Season Eight theme song running through my head this morning (go figure), and I got to wondering about “… she threw a few things in her purse…”
What DOES Pearl Forrester have in her purse? Besides the inflatable world stress toy, of course. Here’s what I think are down in those dark depths:
— a bright red lipstick (la la la)
— a second lipstick exactly like the first because she forgot she already had it
— a grenade
— peanuts for Bobo
— a Dairy Queen Blizzard punch card that’s one punch away from being full
— old issue of “Better Homes & Castles”
— baby picture of Frank

I’d add: a church key (bottle opener) with the Schlitz logo on it.

What’s your guess?

A MSTie Passing…

Our condolences go to Jared’s family, including his sister, Joce, who informed us of his passing.

Weekend Discussion Thread: The MST3K Fair

Alert regular Andrew writes:

It’s the end of summer and community festivals are starting to pop up. In fact, my own city just had it’s own Fall Festival. Since one of my favorite host segs is the Castle Forrester Fair in which Bobo sells deep-fried hair, I got to wondering as to what kinds of booths and/or attraction would various MST3K characters have? Perhaps you can get a pint of Luthor’s Peanut Apple Cider from “Touch of Satan”. Stop by the convenience store booth from “Boggy Creek 2” for a puffy hat with a filthy saying on the front. Get a free exam and set up an appointment at the “Torgo’s Othopedics” booth. Then stop by the main stage featuring Critter and the Gold Boot Dancers! I’d go!

Kenneth is on the same wave length:

This week, I’ve been on vacation, enjoying my annual visits to the Wayne County Fair in Honesdale. Today, I was reminded of the various times MST3K has ribbed county fairs (including the A Day at the Fair” short and the Castle Forrester Fair). So, if we were to put together an MST3K County Fair, what would it include?
How about a demolition derby where the contestants drive floor buffers and scream like little girls and jump from their vehicles before impact? Or a preserves contest (co-sponsored by the 4-H and Clonus) involving the best canned fruit, vegetables and clones?

So, let’s to the fair!
