Darn, I was finally going to introduce myself but if females have shown up here recently then everyone is going to ignore anything I write! I'll wait for a slow and rainy day and bore you all with my life story. Of course, it's so short and boring I could have finished by now.... You've got a photo with Tom Servo in your avatar. That makes you plenty interesting to me, trevor  |

That makes you plenty interesting to me, trevor Ok, life is short and I have a habit of putting things off until I forget about them, so I'll go ahead and invalidate what I just said and at least tell the avatar story. I was a big Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan back when it was picked up by The Comedy Channel (later Comedy Central) in 1989. In the summer of 1990 I was taking a pilgrimage to my favorite state, Minnesota, and happened to notice that I would be staying near their studio in suburban Minneapolis. On a whim, I called them and said something like, "Forgive me, but I'm just a fan of the show traveling by and wanted to call and say thank you for the entertainment." Whoever answered the phone said something like, "You know, tonight happens to be our end of the year wrap party, why don't you come and be the token fan?" It was pretty much as great as I could have imagined it. It was just the staff and their families, and me. I got to meet everyone, was introduced to Joel's parents, and got my picture taken with Tom Servo and Crow. The photographer? Joel Hodgson. I was young and naive, not really appreciating what a unique experience it was. I wish I had taken more photos and accepted their offer of a devil dog prop from one of the first episodes. There. My best ever story is out there. My relationship with all of you is all downhill from here. |

The best ratio I've had was 6:2 (6 females:2 males, counting cats and a dog). Now it's 5:1. It's ok once you get used to it. |

I'm currently on a 5:1 ratio at home, with my wife, two daughters, and two female cats (who are sisters from the same litter), so yeah, I'm pretty much screwed.  |

Hi. I am Ken from NYC. I came across this forum when I was using a search engine in regards to searching for reviews of classic comic books. I'm glad I found it, and hopefully get to read even more interesting threads about other classic comic books. Have a good upcoming weekend to everyone.
