Today on MST3K was “The Final Sacrifice”. I saw this episode once, years ago, but I barely remembered it. I now want to join some message board somewhere specifically so that I can use the name “Zap Rowsdower”. It’s the funniest damn name I’ve ever heard. I’ve been giggling about it on an off for about 12 hours now. Go ahead, just say it out loud. Now try saying it in the voice of the main bad guy from the movie - you know the type, with a deep menacing, vaguely European-accented voice. Hoo boy. If I hadn’t been using Smeghead for so long that I actually answer to it in person, I’d switch right now. ---

MST3K is still airing?! How did I miss this! When, where, I need details, man! I’d love to see somebody using Rowsdower as a screen name 🙂 “I haven’t read Tolkien in almost a WEEK!” ---

Why is MST3K not available in Australia? I would reinstall cable just for that, if it was here. But it has never come. This royally SUCKS. ---

Rowsdower saves us, and saves all the WORLD!!! Oh my god! I did watch it yesterday-I have it on tape, but it’s one of my favorites. “Ow, you shot my butt! What the hell, you shot me in the butt!?” I mean, how can you NOT love an episode that includes grizzled beer guzzling jokes, Canada bashing and mullets? ---

I have never seen a full episode of MST3K, but I should start watching it, as the parts I have seen are hilarious. Also, I love the Master Ninja Theme Song (not only do I have the MP3, but it is the last track on every audio CD I make from now on.:D) ---

I don’t get cable, and the only way I know about MST3K is that a friend recommended it to me. ## I rented all of the videos at my local Blockbuster, and I’m hooked! “Now get out of my hallway!” -Gunslingers “Meanwhile, in a winter movie” -Pod People And . . . my all time favourite, “Any movie with ‘walka jawalka’ in it is okay with me! walka chicka walka chicka walka…” -MITCHELL! -Soup ---

I’ve been taping the ones on sci fi since I started getting cable down here. I think that the one with the railroad safety stuff is on one of the shorts tapes Rhino has for sale. MST3K has the best quotes. “From the land comes life” -narrator “And fat free goodness!” -Pearl Forrester “So how did you become a slave?” -movie character “I accidentally put a sign on my back that said ‘slave for sale’.” -Crow and, from the railroad thing “Hey, the cop never said anything about doing intensly STUPID things!” “Never under any circumstances drive with your butt cheeks” “Could you please identify this bucket full of your brother?” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-almost-want-to-change-my-name-or-todays-mst3k/72557.md?page=2)
