Cyber Monday

Well, it’s cyber Monday and here’s a little shameless commercialism in the spirit of the season.

Topping the list is, “A Short 2009,” our annual calendar featuring memorable moments from those wonderful (and thankfully public domain) shorts.

We’ve selected the nine phrases we thought were most likely to sell from this weekend’s discussion thread, and we’ve added them to the cheap white T-shirt store, the somewhat pricier dark T-shirt store and to the even pricier “lady shirt” store.

And finally, we’ve got a new section: shirts with 11, count ’em, 11 Christmas-flavored catchphrases, and they come in both standard and lady-shaped versions. They’re available in several colors and, as we have been doing with all our T-shirts, they’re just $2 over the base price.

And, finally, if you just want to give us a gift, and not get anything in return but our thanks, please remember the Amazon tip jar in the left-side navigation bar.

Also, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention three other great places to get items for yourself, or for that MSTie in your life.
* Rifftrax has a lovely gift shop.
* The Cinematic Titanic store includes T-shirts…
* And of course there’s the MSTie Mall at MST3K.com.

Have at it!

A Couple of Cinematic Titanic Pieces

There’s a review of the latest Cinematic Titanic release at Pop Matters. Also, there’s a general piece on CT at ScreenRant.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Catchphrase T-Shirts Update

First of all, thanks very much to everybody who has purchased one or more Catchphrase shirts. We hope you like them.

I thought some readers might be interested in which of our catchphrase shirts have sold the best. Here are the results:
• Two phrases tied for first place with eight shirts each (I’m not differentiating between white shirts, black shirts and “lady” shirts): They are “Watch out for snakes!” and “Trumpy! You can do stupid things!”
• Two phrases tied for second place with seven shirts each: “Your weapons are useless against me!” and “You do it. I’m bitter.”
• In third place, with six shirts sold, is “I wanna decide who lives and who dies.”
• Next, with five shirts, is “Brain has performed an illegal operation and has shut down.”
• And, at four shirts each are the following phrases: “If you’re like me, and I know I am…” “Your agonizer please!” “Focusing my attention on the good and the beautiful” “tHe MaStEr WoUlDn’T aPpRoVe!” “Rex Dart, Eskimo spy!” “Well! That could have gone better” “Brought to you by the Booze Council.” “Because booze really satisfies” “This is where the fish lives,” “Mom…’m I nuts?” “Time for go to bed!” “Turn down your lights (where applicable)” “Now, when you see pink, you’re gonna think: We’re doomed!” and, believe it or not, “You’re a stupid, smelly little dummy, who will never have ham.”
Of course there were phrase that sold three, two and one shirts, but I didn’t want to bore you with them all.

If you haven’t got the one you want yet, they’re still available!

And for this week’s discussion thread, I have two questions:

1. Are there any phrases that aren’t there, but that you would buy if they WERE there? and,
2. I want to add some Christmas catchphrases. Suggestions?
