All my names for Marley

He should probably have an identity crisis with all the names I call him. Here are a few. (Warning some are seriously stupid). Mostly it's various combinations the same names and lots of "m" and "b" sounds; they just seem to fit with him.

Then for entertainment, we made a list of the names J.D. calls Marley. They are not so cute, but that's J.D.'s way of showing affection to him.

Puma Man Quiz: Based on the MST3K Movie

Do you ever get the feeling that you are descended from a long line of space-alien gods riding around in a spaceship that looks like a giant Christmas ornament?

Do you ever show up for work at the local Museum of Natural History in your gym shorts and then get thrown from the third floor window by an Aztec high priest?

Is your nemesis fond of black pleather, and he keeps creepy doll heads of all his "mind control" victims in his lair?

When "flying" do you flail your arms, thrash your body around, and generally flounder at a 60 degree angle?

Do you whine and throw a hissy fit at the suggestion of doing anything heroic? And when finally dragged into combat with evil-doers, do you just let the Aztec guy do most of the actual fighting?

Among your moderately to highly lame super powers, are you best at "playing dead"?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you just may be a Puma Man.

Danger!! Death Ray

Today's MST3K is the charming and timeless Danger!! Death Ray.

How beautifully those two exclamation points in the title accomplish the subtle effect of foreshadowing. Indeed, one might mistake a "Death Ray" for something that does not involve excitement or even "Danger," for that matter. It's so good of them to clarify the true nature of this death ray. Truly, this title delivers the clarity lacking in more implicit phrasing. In fact, the exclamation points are my favorite part of the title because if one is good, surely two exlamation marks are even better!!!!!

Actually, this film has one of my all-time favorite scenes. But describing it seems to do little justice. Suffice it to say that the main character's name is "Bart Fargo."

Try quickly saying that a couple times!

Miss you Figaro

At least he is not an evil genius.

I believe he does more writing than I do.

Quiet day. Pad Thai for lunch. Operation Double 007 for entertainment, with Sean Connery's brother "Neal" Connery. Hilarious. Favorite line of the MST3K commentary: "Come on guys, you should be able to hit him; he's only NEAL."

I love the absurd humor provided by sarcastic commentary & bad movies.

This slow Day moved along--
I heard it's axles go
As if they could not hoist themselves
They hated motion so--

I told my soul to come--
It was no use to wait--
We went and played and came again
And it was out of sight

-Emily Dickinson
