I recently watched the MST3K version of _Manos the Hands of Fate_. For those who haven’t seen the movie, there’s a character named Torgo, who has really huge knees and moves like Joe Cocker with hands as shaky as Jello in an earthquake. At the end (a MSTie skit, not the end of Manos), there’s a bit with Torgo as a pizza delivery man. This led a friend and I to play a game about what would be bad jobs for Torgo to have. Each job would be announced in Torgo’s shaky voice: “Hello. My name is Torgo… I’ll be your waiter for the evening…” “I’m Dr. Torgo… I’ll be performing the tonsilectomy today…” So who else has some bad jobs for Torgo? ---

Hello, I’m Torgo. How would you like your hair cut today? \I miss the days when I could watch MST3K every Sunday morning ☹ \ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rossarian \* > \*\*\I miss the days when I could watch MST3K every Sunday morning ☹ \ \*\* Unless I’m mistaken, there’s a lot of MST3K fans around here (I’m hoping at least or this threads is gonna float in exactly the same manner as a bowling ball would float). Get to know some of us and maybe we can get a tape swap together (legal tape swap - not the ones available to buy from Rhino). And just to help out with the coding, use the instead of \< \>. Now I know this isn’t in Torgo’s voice, but it’s better this way: [announcer] And now Torgo is getting on his mark, ready to represent the USA in the 100 meter dash. [/announcer] ---

Um, **Miss Creant** , **Superdude** … those aren’t exactly examples of Torgo having a _job_, are they? No offense, just trying to prevent this from turning into a thread about popping the name “Torgo” into pop phrases.
