[Recently], several of us [commenters in a certain thread] were commenting about how silly the spam messages were, which you’ve since deleted. They sounded like something weirdly translated into English, and I said this might be a good WDT, perhaps call it, “Say WHAT?” — sentences spoken by an MST3K character that make no sense whatsoever. I don’t mean sentences that are hard to hear or understand, like Buffalo Bill’s “New England journalists!” in “Riding with Death” (which I think was a redneck accented way of saying, “You act like you’re enjoying this,” by the way).<\/p>\n
My “Say what??” would be from “Agent for H.A.R.M.” when Adam Chance says, “You think you can’t get hurt, Doctor, because this is America? Apple pie and all that jazz? Well, it’s my job to keep the pie on the table, and nobody asks me how I do it!” Why pie? Why does Chance have to keep it on the table? Where else would it be? My brain hurts…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’ve got a classic: “Flag on the moon. How did it get there?” WHA? Ya wanna unpack that one for me, there, Coleman, buddy?<\/p>\n
