Bruce Cohen @ 330... these collisions did not result in the Earth being eaten by a black hole

...in spite of its being a sucky movie.

David Harmon @ 325... Not Deanna Durbin, aka "Winnipeg's Sweetheart"?

janetl @ 14... You should have said that one of the devices was an interrocitor.

First there was MST3K, which was fun. Then there was MST - Moronic Security Theater. Not so much fun. Maybe they hired Clayton Forrester to run the TSA.

John Chu @ 10... They break into your bedroom while you're sleeping. You wake up the next morning

...on the wrong continent.

abi @ 307... Speaking of which... I wonder if my group's management realizes how deep in droppings they'd be if something happened to me.

Paul Duncanson @ 308... Lying on the couch catching up with Dexter (...) I did drag myself to the supermarket to pick up a few Warhols to see me through the next couple of days but I will keep that cauliflower cheddar

Wow. This is filled to the brim with modern goofiness.

My colonoscopy's prep was boring, and the procedure itself went fine, maybe because it was done by Doctor Ming, who was Merciful.

John J Arkansawyer @ 280... Ozark is a nice little town

...but watch out for low-flying mules?

Clint Eastwood's Palin Rider.
Teddy Roosevelt's Rouge Riders.

The Foglio Family's First Experiment tortures their Second Experiment right here. Why am I not surprised at the clip's grand finale?

Hey, Patrick, I heard last night that, when you came to New Mexico a couple of years ago, one of the first things you did upon seeing Melinda Snodgrass's house was to call Neil Gaiman to tell him that she has an even cooler house.

Geekosaur @ 71... That one has potential. Then spinoff could spin its own spinoff centered around a greasy-spoon that Mansquito often frequents, called Grubs.

TexAnne @ 68... Today's kids. They dish it out, but they can't have it dished out at them. They'd rather insult themselves than take it from their elders. Bah humbug.

Syd @ 61... I even have plans for a sitcom spinoff, Mosquitots.

Syd @ 59... All I saw was the coming attraction for the movie and so can't tell how deftly acrobatic the octopus was. I should probably check and see when Skiffy will show it again.

Yes, I am a glutton for punishment.
Why do you ask?

By the way, at the 2006 worldcon, I attended a talk by someone from Skiffy. I remember his asking the audience "C'mon, aren't you glad to know that there IS a movie out there called Mansquito?"

He does have a point. I guess I'd better go back to writing my unauthorized sequel to that one. What is it called?

Womantis, of course.

Bill Higgins @ 249... The MythBusters and rocketry? Yay! By the way, HERE is the time they build a hybrid rocket using Civil-War era technology. Take that, Doctor Miguelito Quixote Lovelès!

Syd @ 40... You know, whenever I think there's no way the Skiffy Channel could come up with anything weirder than my spoofs, it does. I mean, a megashark jumps out of the ocean and grabs a jetliner?

Michael I @ 238... Bruce Cohen @ 239...

If my boss's boss worked for Adam, he and jamie and the rest of the gang would have eventually wanted to use him instead of Buster when they tested the Ottoman Rocketman in this week's experiment. As for his being a real person... Maybe he is a holodeck figure, Conversations with him tend to go like this.

Found on imdb.com and, no, I didn't make that up:

"The Gay Amigo" (1949), aka "The Daring Rogue"
