Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTie Personal Ads

Alert regular Susan suggests:

If you were writing a single’s ad for yourself and wanted to attract another MST3K fan, what would you say? I remember in some older thread that one guy said he once literally wrote an ad using the “Creepy Girl” song lyrics…. and, predictably, got no replies.

I’m not single nor have any wish to be, but this is what I’d say: “SF seeks SM MST3K fan for leisurely episode-watching and Rowsdower-style drinking. Must love Joel and Mike equally. No smoking unless you are channeling Vicki from ‘The Deadly Bees.’ Don’t have to be handsome but don’t be the dog’s meat — have you seen it? — either.”

Have at it!

Long Weekend Discussion Thread: Best Memories Connected to Watching MST3K

I’m going to springboard off an email I got from alert reader Timmy who, in suggesting a slightly different topic (that we’ve already done), recalled his family viewings:

“…we used to watch the show and have dinner in front of the TV.”

That made me think back fondly to my mom (who passed away this week at the age of 87). Every Sunday afternoon for years we would watch a different episode — we got through all 10 seasons, and many of the comments that are in the episode guide originated as notes I took during those viewings. She loved the show and loved to hear her laugh uproariously at it.

What is your most pleasant memory of watching MST3K?
