I don't think I've ever sent the Dogs in Elk link to my mom--she's visiting next week, and since it's seasonally appropriate, I think I'll google the illustrated-with-pumpkin version of that story for her.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Art Crawl!!!
That "Slog" piece on Studio 60 makes it seem like an amusing trainwreck -- and really -- it wasn't amusing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
How can an essay about a Roomba torturing a pair of cats possibly be more objectionable than us?A lack of reading comprehension?
The gay duck necrophilia was pretty funny when I think back. Though more horrifying to read at the time.
Who can link me the Tomato Nation? I need to bookmark it on this computer for times when I need to laugh until I cry.

Something that is always funny to me no matter how many times I see it:Oh! I feel that way about MST3K's I Accuse My Parents. Especially when Tom says, "I'm Rudolf Hess" which truly isn't even that funny, but just thinking about it makes me giggle.
Of course, there are random lines from Angel that also have that affect. Not to mention the Boreanaz quotes.
tommyrot -- There were collections of the shorts on video, but I don't think I've seen any DVD versions.

I think their thing on "Mr. B Natural" is about the funniest thing they've ever done.
I know I got a disc of MST3K shorts from Netflix, so I can only assume it must be for sale somewhere. And I must own it, because "Mr. B Natural"... well, I can't explain what it does to me without resorting to rotflol, and that just ain't right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The best part is the trial thing at the end, where they debate the effect "Mr. B Natural" might have on gender roles.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
From The Stranger article, I love it:
Throughout the show, every single situation is fleshed out with details that are seemingly designed for deaf and blind infants, and every episode contains those shots that make my skin crawl, where a person or work of art is supposedly so brilliant that he, she, or its brilliance is undeniable to all, but the writing is so crappy that the only way to show successful brilliance is by cutting to another character, mouth agape, dewey eyed, taking in the alleged brilliance with a silent “wow”…
God, I can’t wait until next Monday…I never knew TV could be this bad/good…
I need to sit and think about indestructibly funny things. Hmmm.
