[Zandrax]

Greetings to all, thought I'd make an introductory post about myself. My screen name is Zandrax, I like long walks on the beach and intergalactic mayhem.

Seriously though, I've been a longtime lurker, but only registered yesterday after I got a hold of a burner so I can enjoy my Rifftrax in more formats then on my computer in my small room. I've been a longtime MST3K fan dating back to the second or third season of the Comedy Central series. I became a running joke with my friends because I had a job as a forklift operator, so everyday they wanted to know if I tried to kill anybody with a forklift. When I got wind of Rifftrax on another board, I thought it was the greatest idea ever. Legally lampooning "mainstream" movies AND making a (hopefully) profitable business from it? Way to go Mike. STICK IT TO THE MAN!

I've purchased the Rifftrax for the Star Wars Prequels and have very much enjoyed them.

I think that wraps it up for now. I hope I fit into this dysfunctional online community here.

*talking into a cellphone 'ear piece', alarms, buzzers and klaxon's blaring in the background*
So should I cut the red wire or the blue wire? Hmmm...  *finally notices Zandrax and is startled*

Gyahhh! What?!  Oh it's you, sorry, you startled me there *sighs* they told me to expect some new members, I just lost track of the time. That'll happen when you're trying to disarm an IED, I guess....

*sees perplexed look on Zandrax  face*  Yeah, I realize how that sounds but...  It's not there! *looks back at Zandrax* Er, sorry I was talking to my assistant, just one second... *turns ear piece back on*  Yeah, I'm back.....

....

But there is no 'plaid wire'....

.....

Yes I'm sure...... *rolls eyes, then turns to face Zandrax*  Anyway, as you know,as with MST3K, here at RiffTrax we deal with a LOT of really bad movies,which are often referred to as 'turkeys' or 'bombs'.  Well as it turned out during a recent server migration there was some kind of mix-up betwixt our server and the ones over at the defense department *shrugs* Go figure....  So as implausible as it seems, we were accidentally misidentified as a ... SON OF A B*****!  *points to ear piece* Sorry, I have to take this, it'll only be a sec...

...AND WILL SOMEONE SHUT OFF THE ALARMS, I'M GETTING A MIGRAINE!!!
*Alarms stop*  Okay, go.....

.....

Well why didn't you say so in the first place?! *finds and cuts the 'plaid' wire* There, finally! *turns back to face Zandrax * So as I was saying, we were mistaken for an actual explosives disposal unit, and got sent an actual bomb.  Weird, but everything's perfectly safe n...*just then, the 'diffused bomb' goes off, creating a flurry of smoke, fumes, and...* Papers?! *picks up one of the 'pamphlets' and begins to read it...* Hmmm..it says here that:

" Mitochondria ARE the source of  'The Force'... that there were always a total of 6 movies to be made, not 9... that Jar Jar Binks and his entire noble race are a fine addition to the Star Wars universe... Queen Amidalia is not a pedophile...and it was Greedo, not Han Solo that shot first.....

Hmmmm.... So I guess it was a propaganda bomb

Anyhue...strap yourself in, and enjoy the ride!
