I Can't Believe This!

thirdworldamerican · February 08, 2007, 04:36:53 PM

I get laid off from my job in San Diego in September '06, decide to travel the USA for a year researching American poverty for my podcast, end up going broke and stranded in Twin Cities, MN, figure what the heck, as long as I'm here it would be great to visit the birthplace of MST3k, then learn that everything related to MST3k in Minneapolis has shut down, and Mike Nelson moved to San Diego in mid-2006!

Talk about rotten timing.

Mike, please leave a flaming bag of doggie doo on my former employer's doorstep in El Cajon, okay? Oh, and if you visit the Egyptian Tea Room near SDSU, tell them you owe your success to me, because that's what I told everyone there. Thanks.

BTW, RiffTrax is a great idea--I can't wait to try a few out!

All the best,
Paul

Greetings and Salutations New-Member Type Personage, feel free to walk quietly among other members of these forums, but know their power for they are your rivals. Quietly crush them as you work diligently through the night. Pay attention to the Platypus behind the curtain, for he is your ally.

Won't you? Thank you...

That stinks. Hopefully a rifftrax or two will brighten you up.

Oh yes, I'm sure a little Jar-Jar bashing will pick me up. It's about time someone calls George Lucas to task for what he did in Episode 1!

You have no idea...

Welcome to the forum and sorry you couldn't / didn't stay in SD. I'm from upstate NY originally... quite a change from what I used to, but I can assure you I won't be heading back that way for quite some time.

Enjoy your stay here!

Welcome!

And watch out for BBQ Platypus. If you're not careful, he'll be sitting on your lap in a clown suit trying to feed you pies with one hand and making balloon animals with the other before you can even blink twice.

Oh I think that's a little far fetched. A seltzer bottle perhaps, a joy buzzer, more than likely, but c'mon, baloon animals?

Don't be ridiculous! Why would I dress up as a CLOWN? Clowns are CREEPY! I'd be wearing a pink wifebeater, black leather skirt, and fishnet stockings, just like I always do! Don't you know me at all? Jeez!

(I have no problem with the balloon animals, though).

hey at least we got your attention....

thirdworldamerican · February 13, 2007, 03:50:07 PM

Looks like I'm on a collision course with wackiness!

AvestheFox · February 13, 2007, 05:14:33 PM

Indeed you are, sir.

Greetings, ThirdworldAmerican, I am Aves, the (mighty) Forum Fox extraordinair.

Game programer, novelist, and sarcastic bastard, I am... and one of the few lucky members to get his profile on Mike's Top Friend's list on Myspace

Be afraid. Be twice afraid!

i thought i was the sarcastic one here

Thom_Serveaux · February 13, 2007, 08:24:34 PM

Hey just 'cause it's in your name, don't let it go to your head...

sarcasm_made_Easy · February 14, 2007, 03:06:23 PM

Is it a name or a description and is there any difference?
