While watching the recent RiffTrax Live showing of “Mothra,” I made the observation that Mothra was like a giant pet to the two fairy girls. It got me wondering if any MST3k fans have named their pets after any of the characters from MST3k or the films or shorts seen on the show, or would contemplate doing so.<\/p>\n
For instance, if I had a pet boa constrictor snake, I’d name him after Coily the Spring Sprite from “A Case of Spring Fever” (get it?). If I had a pet fish, I might name him Dr. Z from the “Blood Waters of Dr. Z” experiment. What MST3k-related pet name would you name a household animal companion of yours after, if you haven’t already?<\/p>\n
Maybe some MST3k fans have named a pet turtle after Gamera, or a pet lizard\/iguana Godzilla? Or maybe a fan could name a lazy cat Droppo, after the laziest man on Mars from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I never did this, but I had a friend who had a slightly slow but loyal and friendly golden retriever who I used to call Gypsy.<\/p>\n
