Here are some of the trends and totals:
VanHagar and DonQuixote each contributed over 50 names. Not that quantity counts, but still...
Many names were suggested more than once by lazy, lazy posters who couldn't be bothered to read earlier pages.
"The Paper Chase Guy" (or some variant thereof) showed up 4 times. Pyooma Man, Father Mushroom, Tortcha, Petey the Plane, Icky Elf, Da Worm Face, Heathcliff, TV's Sampo, Bob Evil and The Dog's Meat all showed up more than once.
And a couple folks suggested "JEEED!" not knowing that I find that to be the second most annoying gag in the history of the show. (At least no one suggested "CLAYTON!")
I've pared it down to the top 5 candidates: "Tom Stewart" (Melting Manos) "Tormented" (GizmonicInstitute) "Killdozer" (VH) "JOIKE" (Change B. Goode) "Adidas" (In_Stereo, who had no idea that I like their shoes, I like Clonus, and I like Run-DMC)
I'll post the official winner soon.

Good luck to all of the finalists! Hopefully all of my feeble suggestions allowed you to weed out all the crappy names

Mister foreman, may I have your verdict please?
(drum roll)
From the above 5 finalists, I chose my 2 favorites. I also still liked Mr. Atari, but I didn't want anyone to think that I fixed the contest. So I asked Mrs. sampo and our two little sampos to vote for one of the three options. This evening, I also happened to be on the phone with an old college buddy (who's a big MST fan), so I got his vote, as well.
Here are the results:
JOIKE: 2 vote (My) Adidas: 0 votes Mr. Atari: 3 votes
There you have it. Democracy at work.
As promised, the people who submitted the 2 best suggestions will receive DVDs. Congratulations to Change B. Goode and In_Stereo.
And thanks again to skyroniter (mst3kvideos.com) for his generosity.

OK, I'll be all good and honest (read: I'll bite the hand that feeds me). You sure about that, sampo? My suggestion apparently gets no votes. Or did you mean best according to you personally?

I mean the 2 suggestions I liked best (other than my own). Those were JOIKE and Adidas. Which means you win.

Wow, 2 in a row. I really gotta stop winning these things, sky's gonna go bankrupt!
(just a little good-natured braggadocio, of course.)

Thanks to skyroniter. Thanks to Mr. Atari. CBG [8)>This post is about a week overdue. I wanted to say thank you again to skyroniter for the DVDs he provided to me as a winner in the "Give sampo a new name contest". The disks arrived two days after he said he was mailing them, and they all lived-up to the quality noted on his website. I choose as my four disks: Experiments: 101- The Crawling Eye 108- The Slime People 701T- The Night of The Blood Beast w/Turkey Day Hosts. and a compillation of the host segments from the MST Hour. These were the only experiments I did not have copies of any kind, and I'd never seen the MST Hour. I am grateful for the opportunity to participate, and yes, people really do win at forrestcrow.proboards47.com
