Ugh, there is something in the damn air tonight. Let's make this an all-night happy party thread. Frig this, I'm getting the Summer Jukebox ready. Only Bobby Rydell can save us now.
I miss MST3K like crazy. Haven’t seen any reruns in yeeeears. Sigh.

I hear ya, Matt.
Last month and a half or so, we’ve been converting our garage into a big set of rooms (main, bath, closet) for my grandmother. Grandpa passed away last December and mom was all worried, like she does.
Anyway, one thing we did was move our chain-link fence back a bit. Sooo our dog has been finding ways to get out. x.x Both times it’s been nights where rain has been up north. She’s spooked of storms and freaks out, see. Well, there was a lot of arguing last time it happened. Eventually, we basically had to just tie the dog up to one of the trees in the yard. We had to do it again this time, too.
Only trouble is, my mother freaks out constantly, thinking the dog is stupid enough to somehow HANG herself. Despite the tie-point being lower to the ground than the dog’s head.
So yeah. Lotta stress, lotta bleh from allergies. Lotta bad luck and sleepless nights due to every neighborhood dog psychically knowing the EXACT moment I’m getting into bed. Goddamn barking hooligans.

BMovieGeek there is a series of old 40s-60s PSA films they made fun of on a dvd set that seemed to only exist in a friends apartment i no longer know the whereabouts of, have you seen it?

I actually went to the Mall of America a few years ago on a school assignment/trip. There were a cool few niche stores there, but I was too busy doing the assignment to shop, so I didn’t buy anything. I’d like to go back sometime simply to browse.

Hey Jess. I have seen a some of their PSA spoofs. I believe a couple of the DVDs have a collection of shorts on them that include a few of the PSAs. Looks like MST3k Collection Vol. 1 has the first collection of shorts and MST3k Collection Vol. 3 has a second batch of em. I dunno how many other DVDs have additional shorts on ‘em, but they were definitely golden material.

Ah thanks a bunch, thought it was a set I couldn’t find.

Oh man, I wish I could sculpt like that. I’ve always dreamed of making my own masks, but somehow I don’t think I’ve quite got the skills for it. Going for a reaper type outfit or just s generic hooded skeleton? I really like the chin and cheek bones. Really stylized.

Forgive my ignorance, but I’m a late Generation Y and I have not idea who Bobby Rydell is (Yet I know who Joe Satriani and Johnny Cash are? weird).

Thanks BMovieGeek!
I think this puppy will be a generic hooded, once I spend more time on the teeth which need some major overhaul, I’ll get some more details going, texture and stuff.

the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bakers were some happy bastards Matt – they knew what they were doing…
Chestnuts roasted by TOXICSHLOCK @ 07/29/2008 12:32 AM
Cinnamon Toast Crunch would be so, so good right now.
Oh, I had a question for Matt…
Once upon a time, a couple of months ago, you mentioned that you were in possession of a Disney World 25th Anniversary television special hosted by two of the Golden Girls (Rue and Betty, I’m presuming). Do you have any plans to write about it?
Chestnuts roasted by Hey I'm Jeff @ 07/29/2008 12:32 AM
TOXICSHLOCK: that sculpt is pretty bad-ass. Nice work my friend.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch does sound good, too bad I’m completely out. Maybe I’ll have some Cocoa Puffs instead…..
Last week I found out I was having some major problems with my vision – essentially, I got an infection in my left eye and it made my vision cloudy. I’m taking some medication to hopefully get rid of the infection but the location is dead center, in the middle of my pupil. I’ve been told that if it scars, I would have permanent vision damage in that eye. Has anyone else ever had something like this happen to them?

Hey I’m Jeff: Yeah, I think eventually I will write about it, but it’s more charming than “lampoonable.” Would be tricky because it’s one of those things that’s amazing to watch but I’m not sure how much there would be to say about it…but I think I’ll try. Thanks for the reminder.
Saw the Wizard Of Oz last night. Classic moment: The lion asks the tin man. How long do you stay fresh in that can!!! Classic!!! That cracks me up everytime I see it. Some 30′s humor!!

Matt, don’t mean to nag, but when might we expect to see the jukebox up? I’m looking forward to seeing this year’s track lineup!:)
Chestnuts roasted by Hoverbored @ 07/29/2008 12:54 AM
Cool, Matt. Sorry, I wasn’t trying to be one of those “KOOL ARTICLE BUT U SHOULD RITE ABOUT THIS NEXT”-type people, I was just curious.
Chestnuts roasted by Hey I'm Jeff @ 07/29/2008 12:54 AM
‘still haven’t gotten the hang of that bold type… (trumpet cue)
Chestnuts roasted by Hoverbored @ 07/29/2008 12:55 AM
Jess, if you’re talking about newly produced stuff where some of the MST3K guys are making fun of shorts, it’s probably Rifftrax. There’s also Cinematic Titanic, which is some of the other MST3K folk’s new project. It’s a really cool time to be an MST3K fan, after 10 years off the air it’s having a total renaissance.
jjwspider, I can’t say that I’ve ever had a problem like that but it sounds pretty nerve wracking. Best wishes
Would love love love to read about the Golden Disneyworld video. Looking forward to the new Jukebox too!

Well I FINALLY tracked the last new Mountain Dew flavor and tried it. It was Voltage for anyone curious. My final verdict? It was REALLY good, but, not my favorite. My ranking of the 3 flavors is as follows
1.Super Nova
2.Voltage
3.Revolution
So i’m hoping Super Nova ends up wiing the contest. SO, i’m off to go vote on the MD site. =) Matt: I really like these talk about anything threads. I think posting one every now and then is good for a change of pace.

Matt, if it’s not a problem, could you plese put
some clips of The golden Girls Walt Disney World
special on YouTube? I haven’t seen it for a
while.
Chestnuts roasted by LoneStar76 @ 07/29/2008 1:29 AM
Hoverboard: Trying to solve the Juke issue is on the list of things I will end up not doing tonight even though I intend to.
LoneStar76: There will definitely be clips in the review.
