) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
but there was no gift…
Some of that goop that Genius (Ron Howard) invented in Village of the Giants. I would feed it to all the purse dogs.
The “bear who killed another bear and then wore his victim’s skin as a suit” from THE CHRISTMAS THAT ALMOST WASN’T. That thing is adorably disturbing.
Either the Car-tooner, which would help my own fledgling comic career, or the Steve-O-Meter to see if any of my ideas are already taken.
The water polo foosball table looks like it would be fun.
BOOPITY-DOOPITY-BOOPITY-DOOP. Looks like they already have.
I’m really torn here. If I’m looking for gifts for other people, I’d go with Dick Contino’s pants from Daddy-O, for my husband. He’s approaching the age when men often pull up their pants to a point just under their armpits, and at least if he had the classic Daddy-O version, he’d be one stylish hepcat. Maybe as a bonus he’d start singing “Rock Candy” or “Angel Eyes” while he was working around the house.
BUT, if I’m buying a product for myself, then hands down it would be the World Domination Starter Kit that Pearl ordered (Phantom Planet). Yes, I think I could use a kit like that. I’d start with outlawing pantyhose, then move on to ruling Truth or Consequences with an iron fist, and just keep going. Muahahahahah!
I know some people who would get a legitimate kick out of an Unhappy Meal.
And I think they’ve got to be a real thing at this point, but Bitter Sweethearts.
the ‘Back Talker’ from ‘Painted Hills.’ because ‘deewkcid a si ssob ym!’
Oh, there’s one and only one–the Tragic Moments “Dad’s Liquid Breakfast” figurine.
If that’s out of stock, I’ll accept “Who’s That With Mom” as second choice.
I would buy a Creeping Terror since it hoovers up people too gol-dang stupid to run away. Would I start it off locally, or take it to Washington D.C.? Decisions, decisions.
Mace mousse.
A tickle-me Dr. Carlo Lombardi doll to tickle my fancy.
If Johnny LongTorso was available in a Disney Princess version, I’m afraid my grandnieces would each want one. And there goes my nephew’s house payments for the next six or seven months.
I have a grandnephew who’s crazy about dinosaurs. He’s only four years old and he has an amazing memory for dino facts. And he’d love the flame-throwing thunder lizard from Season 1.
As for me, an MST jacket like Jonah wore during this year’s Turkey Day marathon would be cool. I could wear it to the next live show, then hang it up right next to my official “Star Wars” 10th Anniversary jacket.
The Creeping Terror doesn’t just “hoover up people too stupid to run away,” it hoovers up BACKERS, people WITH MONEY too stupid to run away from people like Vic Savage.
I think it still stands as a shining beacon on a hill, as a business model for indy film-makers.
“I’ll Get It!”
Actually, I’d really love to get some SPACOM for everyone on my Christmas list.
I vote for Washington. Since my district is so badly gerrymandered it may be my only vote that counts.
I’d like a death ray. For peaceful purposes only!!
A Sampo, of course! Then I could use to generate everything else I want.
I would like to have my very own Robot Monster. With the optional bubble machine attachment!
And given enough time I could teach him what it is like to Be… Like… The… Human.
And to Love… Like… The… Human.
The perfect open-me-first gift would be The Projected Man’s projector thingy: What better way to pass the gifts to everyone from under the tree! In large families, the gift exchange would last till 12th Night. For an extra few hundred, you could get the attachment that modulates the high-pitched whine it makes into your favorite Christmas songs. What could be more festive than hearing thousands of cicadas and table saws harmonizing on Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas? And you could partially project Uncle George and plug several extra rows of blinking lights into his mouth to add to the holiday magic and wonder!
Whatever bras Peaches Page and the Batwomen had to keep their girls in place during the action sequences. That was some impressive engineering.
The Neptune Man’s record –
I would copy it into a digital format and then give that to the Neptune Man because it would be easier for him to keep track of.
Why stop at TorC? I think Socorro needs to be taken over too! Take over the world – ONE. NEW. MEXICO. TOWN. ATTA. TIME!
I’d like to get that amazing carbonated beverage that healed the space aliens in Mac and Me. I wish I could remember what they called it….
Maybe you could get them to change the name of the town to DarkGrandmaofDeath, New Mexico. I hear they are agreeable to that sort of thing there.
Thanks for using my suggestion, Sampo! Aside from Wild Rebels cereal, I think I’d like to get a cloning machine, like the one from Human Duplicators. That way, I could have one me to go to work, one to do the housework, and one to do the yard work, and I could just relax and enjoy myself.
The Dolphin Thrill Toy from Godzilla vs Megalon. When all the polar ice melts and water covers everything I’ll be the one who’ll be saying “I’m the god. I’m the god!”
also the rocket and 50 feet of uncoiled rope because Amazon recommended it.
Megaweapon
For someone I don’t like, a pizza every week for year delivered by Torgo with complementary “Crazy Bread” that is surprisingly warmer than it ought to be.
I want a place like Diabolik.
Without worrying about contracts or “pain of death on reveal”, of course.
In a word…..Megaweapon!!
…also, a playable copy of “Yipes! Stripes!” on the RCA Victor Label.
Not a record, mind you. A label.
This is for yours truly, mind you. The rest of the family has to get their own. Anyway, those sweet floor buffer carts in Space Mutiny. I can chase bad guys (or my cat) and buff the floor, AT THE SAME TIME! Second would be railings, lots of railings. You know, you cannot have too many of them.
How about an MST soundtrack album? Not one with the songs from the cast; one with songs from the movies themselves. Sure there would be some duds (like the off-tempo “Eeny, Meeny, Miney Mo” from “I Was a Teenage Werewolf”), but the songs from “I Accuse My Parents” and the Del-Aires would offset that.
Action Oxford
I pity the poor kid that gets Woodscrew Tapeworm for Christmas.
Some of that liquor from “The Killer Shrews” would make a very nice and festive Christmas gift.
Too late, I already got Megaweapon:

:)
– A Tom Servo that comes with many clothes and accessories such as : a Canadian Mountie uniform, superhero costumes, arms that work, hats, different sized gumball heads, a Van de Graaff head, a drone-hoverskirt to make him fly for real, angel wings, bat wings, a foppish wig and an 80s bandana.
– The Aksand emerald necklace
– Diabolik’s Jaguar E-Type
– The villains’ helmets from Fugitive Alien
– Lt. Lamont’s Macrofiber Crotch Inlay
– Zaat’s Wheel of Misfortune
– That country song at the beginning of Final Justice
– That “I want to be happy today” song
– A turquoise jumpsuit
Egg Cream. Hold the worms (or horrid centipedes, or whatever that was LOL)
Yes, exactly my goal! Town by town, from Hobbs to Silver City, from Algodones to Las Cruces!! And then, once NM has been dominated, we move on to Colorado, Arizona, Texas….!
Ah, they’re a little TOO agreeable, which is why they need me to supply the iron-fist ruling. “NO! You chose Truth or Consequences so you’ll stick with it and like it! You may NOT change it to Let’s Make a Deal or Tic Tac Dough!”
However, once I’ve conquered New Mexico, I fully intend to change the name to New Colemania. And our flag shall be an image of the moon, because (wait for it) “Moon on the flag…how did it get there?”
Thank you!
ON TO CORREO, MI GENTE! LOS LUNAS BECKONS! FEAR THE WRATH OF LAS ABUELITAS OSCURAS DE LA MUERTE!
..
Ethiopian coffee has significantly more caffeine than most other varieties, I’m finding out.
Hurra para la cafeina!
Even if it would make him look like Maude.
Sampo’s Christmas Cape
(you know the tune)
Dashing through the snow
In a many fingered cape
Over the endless irrigated fields we go
Bwa-ha-ha’ing all the way
Bells on Torgo ring
Making zombie wives dance
O’ what fun it is to prance and sing this Manos song tonight
Enjoy your cape, Sampo.
both ‘The Unearthly’ and ‘The Killer Shrews’ boardgames
Speaking of “The Unearthly”, I DON’T think Dr. Conway’s makeover package would make a very good choice as a Christmas gift.
I thought I was done for this weekend, but on that comment, the entire extended ad for Dr. Bill Cortner’s Son-O Bill-O Laser Liposuction and Body Contouring Clinic appeared like Our Lady of Fatima in the frosty air of our back yard. I saw the two profile Before pictures of the blonde and brunette strippers and their two After photos, their happy faces smiling at us from their new pans, floating over the remains of our herb garden. Thanks a whole heap.
An Arch Hall Jr. bobble head.
Oh, and having one of those super-neato alien laser blasters would be awfully cool.
Pew! Pew! Pe-pe-pew-pew!
