Cyber Monday

Yes, it’s that time of year, that time when you may be looking to part with a small portion of your hard-earned samolians. If you are, we have a few humble suggestions on ways you can spend it.

Before we get into our own offerings, may we recommend the witty and wonderful artwork of one Jean Jackson. Check it out here.

Okay, now briefly into PBS pledge drive mode. Reminder: This site is not supported by anybody except our readers. We are not subsidized by mst3k.com, RiffTrax, Shout Factory or anybody else. We’re not in any danger of going away, but we do have ongoing costs, and your support is greatly appreciated.

With the guilt trip out of the way, here’s what we got:

At our regular Cafepress.com store, there’s the usual assortment of shirts, hats, backpacks, bags, coffee mugs mousepads, and bumper stickers.

And, as we have done every year for a while now, we have another edition of our “Shorts Calendar.”

And then there is our “MST3K Catchphrases” store, where you can get white shirts, black shirts, women’s shirts and hoodies featuring many well-loved catchphrases from the show.

As a reminder, the Christmas-themed catchphrases are:

One last offer: If there is a MST3K catchphrase you REALLY want on a shirt, and it’s not on this list (and it’s not one of the phrases that appears on MST3K.com official products, send me an email at msampo at aol dot com and I MAY put it up on the cafepress site for purchase in a day or two (I will email you back and let you know when it is there). I do NOT promise to put every suggestion up, but I will try to honor every reasonable request.

Happy shopping!

    “Ah, Mr. Claus. You have a nasty habit of survival.”

    Man, I coulda sworn that was “nasty habit of surviving” . . . can “survival” even be grammatically considered a “habit?”

    Just an honest question. (And I might be getting a couple of different references cross-wired here.)

    Well, I’m happy to say I pre-ordered the ltd version of Vol VXI last week with the Satellite News Amazon link. Maybe I wasn’t looking the right way but I had to search the news archive posts from Sept and Oct to find it, but it was worth the effort. :D

    How about “Oh, I’d hate to shoot a butt like that!” or “Say what you will, but Claude Adkins has a nice rump.”?

    I always like when Crow would comment about a line of dialogue from a film using the phrase “You do it, I’m bitter.”

    That always makes me laugh and I think really encapsulates the Crow character with just one riff.

    Which brings me to another possible topic of discussion. Which riff do you think displays the character of the SOL crew. For me, with Crow, it’s the comment above.

    My friends and I love “Pants, or no pants?” from Werewolf. Every time we see each other it comes up. I think it would make a perfect shirt.

    Or “It’s a Casio forest” from Pod People. Is it wrong to love this series so much?

    “Raptorial, you’re correct, it’s Surviving not survival.”

    Thanks for the consternation. IIRC there’s a Simpsons quote preferencing the same line, so I brought I might have nixed ’em up.
