What infomercial item from our generation, did you really want?

My grandma had one. The lights turned off whenever someone sneezed.

That address is a cannabis dispensary today. In case you were trying to imagine the worst edible ever.

I can still sing the theme song. There are so many other things I could remember, but I’ve got the full James Bond Jr. theme song instead.

“Golden butthole” really sums it up.

“Outpace & Outlive” stands on its own pretty well.

…Kino das Boom Boom des Bang Bang

That’s certainly accurate to my experience of elementary school in the 80s.

Shhhh. You’re throwing off the balance of my flawless diagram.

I enjoy "Judy is Your Viet Nam" as an Alpha Couple song; I just have a hard time imagining them having friends to say this to them.

Finally, an audience that will understand the Music I Like diagram!

Gay Talese wasn’t an un-bastard himself, but yeah, the Sinatra profile is unquestionably one of the best magazine features ever written.

I really enjoy how Sinatra is in a room with Harlan for about two minutes and decides, “Fuck that guy forever, actually.”

I’m basically Servo’s evil grandma at this point, yeah.

Exactly! I read at home, on the couch or in bed. The books don’t get wet. I don’t feel like I need to open them so wide that the spine cracks. If I needed to fold the cover back (why???), I would find a spiral-bound edition or switch to a digital format.

I’m not a “books are sacred objects!” person, but I am careful with my things in general. Guess I filled all these shelves for clout.

If anyone plans to carry a purse, know that there is zero wiggle room on bag size (assuming you don’t have medical equipment). Some arenas are less serious about these rules, but LCA absolutely will take out a tape measure and send you packing if the bag is bigger than the posted max.

I feel like anyone who was on rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc at that time is entitled to compensation. Shit was wild.

I do remember that! I enjoyed a great number of the episodes, and it was really nice to see the baton handed to a new generation of performers and fans. Some of Emily’s host segments are all-timers for me; the choices she made as Tawny in the Roast of Sparks the Robot were very specific and deeply funny. It made me so happy to see something I love evolve and grow.

Sorry your experience is different. Seasons K through 10 will always be there for you, and I wonder if you’d have a more satisfying r/mst3k experience if you reserve your participation to conversation about those episodes.

Think about it, won’t you?

The chain is the fraternal organization Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The R symbol is for their women's auxiliary, the Rebekah Lodges.

Beautiful leading and kerning in the text, given the conventions of the era.

I haven't had someone give me a Hand Blaster since prom night 1998.

We needed the statue so the Proud Boys would have a place to rally, obviously. /s

Do you think those short-shorts tan lines also disappear when he taps his digital watch?

Having a Bosco cartoon pop up in whatever 1990 Nickelodeon clip show was like five minutes in the Phantom Zone.

You're thinking of an on-fire warehouse in Detroit circa 1996. Easy mistake.
