Yeah, he said he’d rather marry Carrot Top than watch a Jim Carrey movie…  
Did you know Mike is married to Bridget Jones?

Good Lord, _thank_ you! I’ve been trying to figure out why I picture the protagonist of _Bridget Jones’ Diary_ and _Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason_ with short, dark hair and a button nose. Now I know.

FWIW, I’ve been a MSTie since the days of a.f.m. Co-authored a couple of the better MSTings, too, if I do say so myself. Mmmmm, _Treklander_…  
Gadarene, contemplating a “Who’s Better, Joel or Mike?” thread in IMHO just to **really** piss all the old-timers off…_cough_ **tracer** _cough_

I once read an interview with Joel, and he once went into a chatroom with friends, just because they heard there was a Mike Vs. Joel Argument. Well, after the mods cleared it up, and everyone was getting back to normal, Joel piped in, “Yeah, but when you really think about it, Joel is better!”  
LOL and then split!

I’m co-Prez and Founder of the Joel Hodgeson/Mike Nelson Estrogen Brigade, btw!

Sci-Fi can be forgiven for cancelling MST3K (just barely) because they are picking up Babylon 5 reruns from TNT, and of course they provide my weekly fix of Farscape. I’m on pins & needles over this week’s finale to Look at the Princess! Oh, for a time machine!
