One of my favorite shorts was something like “A trip to uncle john’s farm” or something. Oh man… I would be willing to pay someone to send me their taped copies of Turkey Days. Anyone? PLEASE??? ---

I have about 20 tradeable(Non Rhino) episodes of MST3K. I bet that many on here have them as well. Should I create a special mailing list and website so people on here can trade tapes with each other? Feel free to e-mail me privately about this. ---

Man, I guess there were a lot of shorts I missed: “The chicken of tomorrow”? “Coily the Spring Sprite”? “No springs”? And I didn’t even know about the shorts tapes: I made my own tapes, but obviously never saw a few of them–better go out and fork over the cash to buy 'em. Eve and JosephFinn, I think there were at least two shorts dealing with marriage and compatability: One had a character use a rubber band and little figurines to make it’s point (I’m not explaining this well because I only vaguely remember it. I think this is the one that JosephFinn is referring to). The other had featured two young lovers who ran off to get married at the end, and Joel and the 'bots start suggesting other educational titles: “What’s that down there?” 😛 Hastur, there were at least two films about driver safety: One was an old black and white film based in New Jersey: “X Marks the Spot”. (Finally remembered the name of it!) The other was in color, and featured a family on a farm: “Last Clear Chance”. Scribe, there were at least three serialized shorts that I know of: General Hospital, “Phantom Creeps” featuring Bela Lugosi, and a really hokey one in black and white, featuring enemies from Atlantis or something like that. General Hospital featured one of my favorite lines. During a really emotional scene, one of the robots mimicks one of the lovers saying “You wiped your feet on the doormat of my heart” 😃 (I thought about using that for my sig.) One of my favorite shorts that hasn’t yet been mentioned was “Changing your Voice”. Geez, I think I have as much memory used on MST3K shorts as I do on Shakespeare, :rolleyes: Non shorts related: CalMeacham–“It Conquered the World” was the name of the movie I couldn’t recall earlier (the reference to a pickle from outer space). Besides the Orville Redenbacher skit, I forgot all about the Star Trek parallel universe skit! :eek: ---

Another MST3K line that I use in real life (as today, when I read a Times story about scientists building “smart” robots), from, I think, “Bride of the Monster”— “He peppered in God’s lo mein.” That marriage short I was thinking of is indeed the one with the Frankenstein-like doctor and the rubber band. ---

Merlin’s Mystical Shop of Wonders!!! “Remember to believe in magic. Or I’ll KILL you.” “Oh, dad is SO going to the cornfield for this one.” Never seen it, but the one quote from the movie about the killer bees always cracks me up. “Honey Bunches of DEATH!” And sooooo many more. ---

My god, remember **Santa Claus**? Originally from Mexico, dubbed into English, telling the story of Santa vs. Satan? The adorable four-year old poor girl was my favorite: (waking) “Are we still poor?” “Mama, mama – we must rise up against the bourgeouise!” And the narrator kept yelling at the characters, telling them not to do bad things. Classic! ---

> [@](#): > > “Coily the Spring Sprite”? “No springs”? DRY: These are both from the short _A Case of Spring Fever_, which was used as a lead in the killer worm movie, _Squirm_ (the next to last episode of the series). The “plot” of the short was that this wormy guy working on his sofa gets frustrated and wishes he would “never see another spring as long as he lived.” Well, Coily the Sprite Sprite, AKA Lord of Darkness, magically appears and grants the moron’s request. Then everytime our doofus tries to operate a device with springs, it fails, and Coily pops up and evilly exclaims, “No springs!”.

“Coily the Spring Sprite” that is… I suppose you’d get the “Sprite Sprite” if you wished there were no more carbonated beverages… ---

> [@](#): > > Merlin’s Mystical Shop of Wonders!!! “Remember to believe in magic. Or I’ll KILL you.” “Oh, dad is SO going to the cornfield for this one.” You reminded me of one of my favorite lines. When the evil monkey doll is trying to kill the guy, he’s screaming, “oh God, help!” and Mike (I think) says, “God can’t help you - he’s too busy helping Reggie White win football games.” ---

For those of you who were wondering about trading for those videos not available through Rhino or Best Brains, try the MST3K fan club’s trading page. It’s at [Satellite News - Tape Tradin' Post - A-G](http://www.mst3kinfo.com/trader.html) . I think I like that show too much. (Scribe’s Homer Simpson-voiced brain says: “Must forget high school algebra…make room for MST3K information…” 🙂 ) ---

Both of my favorite episodes are: Prince of Space and… Space Chief, for the simple reasons that they were so alike and, because Krankor made appearances in both of them. Kranckor is the man, and his evil bastard laugh just rocks. Oh oh oh, and “Viking Women and the Sea Serpant”, oh oh oh oh and “Monster a Go-Go” Servo: 'Cause I tell you, guys, you get to the point where you just wanna say, “Wormhole, back off!” ---

“Riding with Death”: “…and believe me, Death does NOT pony up for gas.” I can’t go on a car trip with my MSTie friends and not say this. “Keep on truckin’, Ben Murphy.” * * * ---

Eeeeee…What’s your fave bot? Mine’s Gypsy. I liked the part in Merlin when the kid was singing, “Rock and roll martian!” (BTW, is that a real song?) Or the part when Servo says, “I’ve got a crack this guy can crawl out of,” when the guy is clawing his way out of a huge crack in the earth. And when Merlin’s walking around, Crow says, “See, that’s the problem-he’s walking around, dressed like that and asking women if they’ve seen his little monkey.” ---

Of course, it would have to be non other than that fabulous piece o’ botness, TOM SERVO. Crow is amusing, Gypsy is cool. Those bots Mike and Joel needed some work though.
