I often have this vision of MSTies turning into the likes of "Farenheit 451." Imagine a forestful of MSTies, wandering around, on first appearance looking like so many schizophrenics, but, upon closer inspection, reciting lines and riffs to themselves, each person being an expert on one particular episode, even going so far as to name themselves after said episode. "I am 'Time of the Apes.'" "I am 'Pod People.'" And, although I shudder at the thought of it, part of me also looks forward to the day it happens. Today, I believe we have come one step closer to this reality. Now, having had all my fun, I'll see if I can't help in some way. Don't do "Time of the Apes." I'll see if I can't grind something out on it. But don't count on me, either. If you don't see something in 3 months, it ain't gonna happen. In any case, I am Mitchell. ;D

Before I saw most of the episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus, I read the scripts over and over. When I finally saw them, at times I was let down by the execution of the script, and at times it was better than anything I had imagined, and besides I forgot most of what I read so it was usually fresh anyway. I guess my point is it doesn't always hurt the comedy to have too much information. I know that's not a straight across identical example, but what I'm trying to say is I would love a book that explains riffs, it wouldn't bother me one bit or suck any joy out of this show for me. I'm pretty young and would like to know what the hell they're talking about a lot of the time. But, I should say that I'm not interested right now in logging riffs - seems like quite a chore to me. Well, if the inclination ever strikes me, I'll let you know. But I like this idea, and I admire your ambition. I hope it comes to full fruition, and that's no lie.

I'm well prepared for the going to be slow. I've been tring to get in touch with the guy that runs Too Much Information about teaming up and am also working with Michael (from Cheepnis) as he's been a fan of the show for ages and, being a tape trader, has seen the episodes much more then I have.

Not letting this thread or project die. Sorry if I haven't got back to the few of you who have emailed me regarding helping with the book. For some odd reason Hotmail chucked the emails in the junk folder. I just found them. I will be writing back accordingly with proper guidelines and such for the SHOW LOGS. The going is slow but steady, which wins the race. EDITED TO ADD: 1) My main issue is that the episodes Lee has sent me, ALL OF THEM, I've never seen before so I watch the show first and then REwatch it to log it. Logging it from the first time would sap the fun out watching the show because I have to pause the episode so much. 2) MightJack: Are you the same guy that runs the REVIEW website MightJack Review? If so, I wanted to thank you for helping me with a few tough riffs that are explained on your site and I wouldn't mind tapping into a bit more of your knowledge.
