MI8 presents: "WHERE" Are they now?

[Miss Interoceter]

Hopefully the ("") helped give away what this week's movie will be. If not I just feel sorta stupid. But it's time we delve a little deeper into Texas style justice and find out whatever happened to the gang from "Manos" The Hands of Fate. What do you think? Now just because the movie showed Mike, his wife Complain, I think was her name and Lil Debby under the master's control and Torgo dead or running away and Pepe dead doesn't mean that's what happened. Who knows if Hal Warren even knew if that's what happened. I'm guessing ol' Hal had quite a stash of something else burning most of the time. Do the convertible girls get abducted, do the wives finally turn on the Master, do Torgo and Mike get some orgy action (sorry, I don't know where that came from!) or does Debby mount up on Ceres and ride away from the crazy adults to a land of low price snack cakes? You tell me. We've all seen it. Stood mouths agape at what we witnessed, so now it's our turn! Our time to say, Hal Warren, shame on you and this is what OUR vision of your future is! Come on guys, let's let him have it!

This is going to be one I am going to have to do a little homework on.

Let me and quamp apologize on behalf of the great State of Texas ... we really are sorry about Manos, Joe Don Baker, and Lee Harvey Oswald, in that order.

Let's not forget the Bushes, hookemhorns.

The devil hound from Manos eventually escaped from the Master's control and went into the desert. There it continued to terrorize people until it was brought down in 1987 by showing it Hobgoblins UnMiSTed.

What many people don't know is, that girl from the beginning who kept looking directly into the camera had a successful career after "Manos," as an optics inspector for NASA.

Actually, quamp, I like the Bushes ... I was secretary of College Republicans at UT for two semesters. So being a conservative on a liberal campus just means I am confused. Though I will admit not being entirely crazy with W's administration and preferring his father's handling of things, and I believe Bush was a better governor than president.

Anyway ... to the game at hand.

Torgo wandered in the desert and crossed the border into Mexico. He was met by a bruja (Spanish for witch) in a saloon who Torgo mistook for a prostitute. Despite the pawing from Torgo, Bruja took pity on him and gave him a medicinal recipe that she assured him would cure his stooping gait and some mescaline/tequila for the pain throbbing in his arm from his severed hand. Torgo was mad at first when he arealized that he was not going to get to sleep with the Bruja, but after the mescaline and tequila kicked in he passed out and remained in a stupor for days, babbling on about the master and wishing he could have his old job back. Bruja fitted his hand with a prostethic hook and Torgo began a new career as a used car salesman who moonlighted as a bartender in various brothels. Torgo and Bruja finally hit it big in the late 1970's when they opened a used car lot and adjoining disco club complete with spinning ball, pulsating lights, Bee Gees cover band, underage alcohol consumption, bribery to corrupt Mexican officials, and women of questionable reputations to appeal to the gringos coming across the border from Texas. Torgo's is still a favorite hot spot in the border town, and Torgo has become a cult figure in the area for his appearances in ads for his various used cars, which typically air on late night TV right before "The Star Spangled Banner" plays and the stations go off he air. His catchy slogan, "You can shake my hand on the deal," is still heard frequently in offices around the water cooler accompanied by chuckles to this day.

The whole Michael's wife/daughter being enslaved by the cult as harem members is too sick for me to try to come up with a humorous ending.

However, the Master one day tired of all the catfights with his wives. He renounced his cult, found Jesus, and took a new name, Bob Tilton. He became a televangelist.
