) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
I’d go to the “Blood Waters of Dr. Z” resort. After all, it’s all inclusive.
I would pick Valley Lodge – “…where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the child brides are above average.”
Can’t think of anything clever, so I’ll just say London, England (where The Projected Man takes place). I really do wanna go to London sometime in my life.
If I learned one thing from MST3K, it’s that–despite the cults, mullet-headed drunks, and creepy-looking teenage spawn of Larry Csonka–“Canada is for lovers.” So a nice romantic weekend getaway with the wife to America’s Hat.
Moooon Zeee-roow Twoooooo!
Auntie McFrank’s. Great service, wonderful atmosphere, cold lo mein…
I would take the “Torrance to Long Beach Tour” with the Riding with Death Trucking Company. We’d have a 13-hour trip, with a number of stops along the way. When we stopped at the Pseudo-Science Stuff warehouse, we could be put into a laundry bag (for an additional fee)and then have to figure out our own way out of it. We would help random singing truckers to fight off hijackers, learn to use a CB radio, and enjoy an exciting stretch when the truck’s brake lines are cut, and the truck seems to weave out of control before sliding into the side of the B&B where we’ll be treated to a nice lunch.
It’s a good deal, but be prepared for the annoying driver, who wears breathtakingly tight pants and likes to freak out the guests by driving in invisible mode.
Come to Cinder National Forest in Spain/United States, where you can enjoy the singing of nightingales (unless the Lorne Greene lookalike took all their eggs). Stay with Timmy and his mom (they have lots of vacant rooms, especially after uncle got killed). If you see an elephant trunked creature wandering around, ask him to do magic things, and he will amuse you by warping time and space. Pay no attention to the grouchy rock star who insists “it stinks”. To paraphrase the I’m A Virgin guy “its the best”.
I’d go to Nirvana Village for some doppling as a stallion. Or maybe just to switch people’s colored tags, see who’s stuck being an anteater, and run around yelling, “I AM INTERFACE!”
Catalina – after visiting there, you’ll say “You got me!!!”
New Mexico – it’s enchanting, full of solar houses and rapidly becoming metropolitan thank to all the New Yorkers from the Bronx.
Need a quick getaway, try the Doppel center (note: quality contingent on price.)
I think I’d go meet the Hobgoblins Frankie, Sniffles, Bounce-Bounce, and the Claw. Afterwards I’d run down to Club Scum and get tanked on cheap beer with Roadrash while watching Amy shake her money maker and The Fontanelles sing their hit song Pig Liquor.
Circle Pines, Minnesota –
I would go to Circle Pines and take a Selfie in front of the giant statue of Mary Jo Pehl. Rumor is that the Circle Pines Cafe whips up a tasty Hot Dish, too.
Why not go on a tour of America’s aerospace facilities for those with a thirst for science? Sure, you can go to NASA with their wonders of space travel, but what about a real, live satellite? Of course they won’t let you in – but WE WILL! Stay here at our accommodations at Castle Forrester! Then tour the underground facility at Gizmonic Institute, and enter a REAL LIVE SATTELITE! What could go wrong?
Hard for me to decide, but how about “Life on the Lam, an affordable vacation” and you might wind up making hamburgers.
Either that or Spooner, WI, where Manos was supposedly filmed
I would visit Lovejoy and that one guy (It’s actually Eric Braeden from “The Young and the Restless fame”) on Diamond Head.
I’d pick a place with a pond where the fish live.
I would spend a long weekend with Aunt Flavia on her dude ranch. If you got really bored, you go looking for Treasuuure!
I’d go with the Lost Continent. Check out the stop motion dinosaurs. And of course planty of opportunites for Rock Climbing.
Branson Canyon is my pick. Soooo many things to see and do. My first stop would be Roman’s bubble cave and guess who was hiding in the back? Why it is our Venusian pickle monster!? He contacted the man who would become the Master Ninja on his ham radio so I could say hey. Here comes Teenage Caveman with the Young Executive hair cut. He showed me how to make a very lame bow and arrow and we went to the archery arena to try it out. Here comes Dr Ralph Martin. I was thirsty so I asked him where I could get a drink. He replied “GET THE CANTEEN! GET THE CANTEEN!”. Rejuvenated I ran into a bunch of gorgeous Viking women who invited me to their feast. That dope Todd with his button collection showed up and harshed everyone’s good times. Look who just landed, it’s Derek, Thor and the rest of their crew. They explained they just landed after a very long journey so I inquired how their trip was? The guidance counselor stated that it was just “TORCHA!”. One set back was running into the Colossal Beast and I couldn’t remember his name and then it hit me, he is 60 feet tall and Glen was 60 feet tall. He mellowed out when I called him Glen. I ended my vacation by stopping by the Blood Beast’s cave and throwing Maltov Cocktails at him. What a fun filled vacation.
Check out beautiful Butt Mountain!!! Climb up and see where it’s really obscene!!!!
Me, I’m going to where medieval times meet the Old West. That’s right, the tavern/saloon of The Undead and Gunslinger (they’re the same, thanks to Roger Corman’s stinginess, I mean thriftiness). Once I start drinking enough it won’t matter if I see Billy Barty turning into an imp or cowboys standing around waiting for their cue. But I will wait for Beverly Garland to show up and give the place some class. Then we’ll go for a horseback ride and talk about her career and how much we love her.
Metaluna, where they play “All Michael Stipe, All The Time!”
Sidebar:
Speaking of The Undead… any news from Shout! Factory regarding Special Features on the upcoming DVD collection. I pre-ordered with Shout!, so I think it is supposed to ship around November 3rd.
Let’s all head over to Eat!
Tranquil, relaxing Spider Island.
It’s a toss up between Tornado Magnet Trailer Park and Flagstaff.
Come to scenic New Mexico/Cuba.
First you’ll be flown in by our friendly pilot – “I’m Cherokee Jack!”
Treated to a delicious buffet – “Oh, pshaw, there’s always too many beans.”
Take part in fun events – “She’s the activity director for the revolution.”
View our scenic landscape – “And they’ve managed to find another beautiful location.”
Tour the countryside on our luxury trains – “The train-riding sequence was omitted for clarity.”
Then relax in our 5-star hotels – “They got a south-facing cell. That’s nice.”
And enjoy complimentary room service – “Water! Thirsty! Sick Man!”
After all – “When in Hollywood, visit Francis Land”
Seriously, the Vermont of “Time Chasers.” All summer. Look at that scenery. As Crow said, “Great scenery,crappy movie.”
I’d go to the thirteenth moon of Jupiter and hang out with the fire maidens. Of course, I’d bring some better dance music for them.
Devil Dolls 1963 London (just ditch the Charlie McCarthy show). Gorgo has been safely dealt with and Maggie Thatcher isn’t even a bad dream yet. It’s the beginning of London Swingin’ like a Pendulum Too: The Beetles, The Rolling Stones 1963 British Tour, The Hollies… (Guess everybody wasn’t invading America all the time that decade).
Oh, and the outdoor pool area where the Fat Man accosted Fingol. If Crow is correct and that’s just
the Ladies Room, imagine what the rest of that world is like, and you could always drop in at The Place
for a drink and some complimentary Flavo Fives.
Does exciting 1970s Puerto Rico count?
Spider Island! Home to the stars!
I’m going to ditch my kids (providing them with an ample amount of money) and stay the weekend at Jack Taylor’s place. Plenty of food, plenty of liquor, and I call dibs on the young lady with the long black wavy hair. And to make up for having such a great time while our armed forces are being killed and maimed by the Nazis and the Japanese, I will buy some war bonds on the Monday right after.
Speaking of islands, it’s hard to choose between Killer Shrew Isle, The Most Dangerous Game Resort, or the Island of Secrets and Lies (see? water implies island…)
off i’d go to Jimmy Wilson’s ‘Fantasy Island!’
feeling adventurous? go fight the Nazi’s in a blimp!
run errands for gangsters all the while pretending it’s all perfectly innocent fun.
in the mood for romance? there’s the lovely and talented Miss, Kitty Reed! (possessive, psychotic gangster boyfriends not available in all areas.)
looking for the taste of a simpler life? flip hamboigers with Al! or hang around a shoestore with Commandant Klink!
or just get the crap kicked out of you….ha,haaa…
all this and Jimmy’s Mom too.
come to Jimmy Wilson’s Fantasy Island…
‘zee plane! zee plane!
Planet Nova. Come for the dinosaurs, stay for the nuclear explosions.
Will they take someone in who shows up with only a penny and a broken cigarette?
The island in Tormented seems nice. They’ve probably blocked access to that old abandoned lighthouse by now, though. Does the movie ever establish a location? It had a bit of a Cape Cod feel, but with southern California weather, which sounds lovely. Plus, rents are relatively cheap if you don’t mind a little haunting now and then.
Does anybody know where, exactly, Coleman Francis Mountain is? Or if it has a real name?
Not to mention a little band Who were still calling themselves The Detours at the time. Man, that sounds great. An excellent time travel vacation time/destination. Wait a minute. London, 1963, time travel… You haven’t seen a big blue phonebox around, have you?
Scenic Malta so I can lord my significance over all the lisping tiny-batched Maltese males.
Didn’t Coleman film in Saugus, California? At least I read that’s where The Beast was filmed.
Beautiful downtown Kalevala…
That or the Swedish Dells (the dukes, ride the dukes).
I’ll take the MOON-ZERO-TWO Tour. With a buggy ride through Far Side.
Anywhere besides THIS ISLAND EARTH!
The Valley Looge down in Texas.
There’s a WORLD underGROUND… and I’m goin! with Wanda!
Progress Island USA!
I’d go to what was definitely, incontrovertibly Japan in Master Ninja I. There’s something about the tranquility…
I don’t care where I go, as long as I can bring my Creepy Girl. (or Estelle)
