When I was a young teen our television went out. Until it was fixed we
had to watch this little crappy television that only got 2 channels. One
night me and my sister were sitting around watching an old Gunsmoke
episode when I got bored. I started making jokes about the show and adding
my own dialog to the thing. It was fun. And it started a habit that I
continue even today if I happen to find a bad movie which is particularly
good for that kind of thing.
In 1988 a show came on called Mystery Science Theater 2000 (later
3000). In case you've never seen it, the set-up is that a man and his two
robots are trapped aboard a spaceship and forced to watch bad movies.
And as they watch them they poke fun of them.
The guys that did MST2000 were to my mind the masters of that type
of thing. I didn't start watching the show until 1991. But I became
immediately addicted to it. And I continued to enjoy the show until I
went back to school in 1998 and time became a premium commodity.
Last night I happened across this particular MST clip. Unlike the norm
it isn't a movie they sit through, but a very odd short. Wishing that
he would never see another spring in his life when his wife wants the
couch fixed, the main character in the short gets his wish. And let's
just say that when things reverse themselves and get back to normal
that the man becomes a little on the Obsessive Compulsive side about
the whole spring issue.
"That damn spring loving bastard!"
LMAO.

Edward, I must tell you that I have learned more about a spring than I ever wanted to know. :lol:I used to watch MST every now and then; however, my son was the addict of that show in my family. He loved it. I thought it was weird.Thanks for the memories
You are very welcome L and I hope that all of your springs are working well. :p
I am sorry to say that many of my springs are sprung and can't be coiled again. They have totally lost their spring-y shape and will never be as functional as they once were. But I still try to use the ones that are still in order. Now, if they just wouldn't keep springing out of the upholstery at the wrong time!:p
The moral of the story would be: be careful what you wish for!!! 😀
Now I know where you got it from – the ability to make hilarious comments on just about any old picture found on the Internet 😀
@ DarkoEspecially if what you wish for involves springs. :p@ AllanI never made that connection before but you could be right on that. Very similar thing. Which reminds me, I should get a new Photos post up. Its been a while.
Exactly 😆
@ Pam.Ah, that's a great story. 😀 Thank you.
:lol::lol:
😆 Reminded me of one of the text messages Suzy sent her sister while in Africa. "I hope I never see beans and rice again as long as I live". Her sister promptly sent her a welcome home box with a bag each of beans and rice.
Thanks for another Ed-ucational. I know what it is like to have paranormal experiences while lying under living room furniture. I used to be extremely drunk, though, and I see no evidence suggesting alcohol abuse in this case. I've seen some episodes of the Mystery Science Theater back when they where running the show on MTV Europe. It is a funny concept. The Beavis and Butthead show is kind of a spin off, isn't it?
Never watched Beavis and Butthead much. Athough I did see that hilarious one where they were hanging out at the poetry reading with all these artsy types. LMAO.Well, let's just hope that in the future that the springs don't get their revenge for their involuntary servitude and we aren't all devoured by giant slinkys.
Now that was disturbing on many levels, Ed. Thanks.:right: :left:
