By request, I’ve added a hoodies section to the catchphrase t-shirt store. The cafepress pricing is too rich for my blood, but some folks said they were prepared to pay the freight, so more power to ya.
I’ve included the most popular phrases from the t-shirt section and all the Christmas phrases. They only come in black and blue.
On a related note: Cafepress has flagged “It’s a giant spider invasion of savings at Menards!” They don’t like the use of brand names. Seems to me like the folks at Menards would like the publicity, but, oh well…

LOS ANGELES — Beverly Garland, the beautiful and talented actress who starred in 1950s cult hits and then went on to play Fred MacMurray’s TV wife on “My Three Sons,” has died at her home here Dec. 5 after a lengthy illness. She was 82. MSTies will recall her performances as feisty Claire Anderson in episode 211- IT CONQUERED THE WORLD, vivacious Vera in 503-SWAMP DIAMONDS and the wiley Sheriff Rose Hood in 511-GUNSLINGER.

Thread suggestion: “Personal Riffs.” These can either be riffs that the person has done himself that made other people laugh or coming up with the same riff as J/M&tB at the same time during the movie.
I occasionally manage the latter. One I can remember was in “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” The character in the movie said “Crush him!” and, sitting on the couch, I said “You were adopted!” just as Servo (I think) did.

He turned 92 last week, on the same day MST3K celebrated its 20th birthday. MSTies will recall his bit part as “park victim” in episode 1004- FUTURE WAR
