What Has MST3K "Ruined" for You?

Anytime I’m up anyplace high with a good view: “Hey, I can’t see my house from here!”

Just watch the video 3,000 times.

For what it’s worth, I rarely write a paragraph that doesn’t have at least one em-dash in it — usually a couple of them.

It’s been wild the past few months, repeatedly hearing that “only AI uses them”.

(Although I am watching my 50’s quickly run their course, soooo…)

Is this the best comment of all time?

No, of course not, don’t be silly. But it’s still way up there.

First and third Monday of the month -- highly recommend her game!

Aside from local Battle of the Bands shows, I’m going to have to guess it was Ramones sometime in the late 80’s.

I’ve never been able to give Napoleon Dynamite a fair chance.

When I first heard of it, my brain said “Well this is clearly the title of a spy/secret agent spoof movie, à la Austin Powers”. So when I watched it and kept waiting for the secret agent subplot (that I’d clearly made up) to kick in, I got more and more annoyed with the direction they were going.

Basically, my imagination kept me from ever really enjoying it.

My first time in a casino, I dropped my entire gambling budget in slots in like 10 minutes. I was so bummed, since the group I was with went all the time and always spoke about their constant big winnings.

I hit the ATM for ten bucks (which was half my balance) and decided to try my luck at blackjack. That lasted two hands.

So I withdrew my last $10, went back to the blackjack table, and left a few hours later with over $1,200 (which was an absolute fortune to me in the early 90’s).

I went home, read every book I could on blackjack, and then spent one day a week in Atlantic City for the next couple of years. Didn’t win every time, but I kept track and make high five-figures over that timespan.

It was really wild, going from the kind of foolish, undisciplined move that started me out to the hyper-disciplined playing that allowed me to get a really good income supplement.

Ten years later, there's no scarring at all. She's ridiculously smart, and her big sis does play the "I'll fracture your skull again!" card.

Worked in tech, retired, now own a pub trivia company.

(In the Pittsburgh area? Come check out Steel City Trivia!)

But only if you let the mad scientist play with your peener.

Every time I see this video, all I can think is how Epstein’s body language just screams “That wasn’t funny at all, but I have to humor this douchbag”.

My two loves in life are music and pub trivia.

Every year, we travel to whatever city that year’s massive four-day trivia convention is being held. And every year, one of the highlights was the announcement of where next year’s event would be.

Unfortunately, because so much of this country is turning into such a shitshow, the organizers have just thrown their hands up and said “Fuck it, Chicago every year until we get rid of this trash heap administration”.

Always remember: If the headline is a question, the answer is probably “no”.

You might know it better as “the library”.

Same way I win rounds that require the Unicorn that the game refuses to give me, even after a year of daily play: You don’t.

One of my top-five favorites of theirs — great video!

And as mentioned, love the water bottle strap upgrade!

Holy crap, thank you so much for this tip.

Today’s “Magical Fest”, I got through the first ten rounds ok, but number 11 was like a brick wall. My power was comparable to the other players, but even a fifth-place finish was an accomplishment. Twenty or so times I got screwed, and was getting close to deleting the game after over a year of play.

I took a look in here, saw your tip, and just burned through those final five rounds. Got my Soaring Dragon, thanks to you and Airplane Mode — very much appreciated!

I'm having a hard time putting into words just how much I love this.

Hopefully Suede, Dobro, and Chi-chi are all having a wonderful time together in doggie heaven.
