All We Have is Each Other--Old Guys!

[mrsphyllistorgo]

Santa is one hard working old guy. Okay, he only goes out once a year (how my boyfreind envies him) but he's got to shovel reindeer poop, listen to BORE (Brotherhood of Righteous Elves) union complaints day in and day out, and the climate of his hometown sucks. Not to mention the ungrateful brats around the world leaving the broken, burnt cookies and half a warm glass of skim by the fireplace while they pitch high decible fits for the latest laser gun game to hit each over the head with... it's a miracle the guy keeps on, yet he does.

So this edition of All We Have... is dedicated to the old guys of MST. They deserve some love--and in a few cases, a quick jab to the kidney. So come on, who's your favorite old guy? Pick one and honor your elders!

Bonus question: what's the best story an old guy ever told you?


See replies for last game's winners!

Can I borrow a cup of BALD?

Oh, my achin' bones winners!



Lots of good ones this week! Many of you expressed the great worker's solidarity for the various Japanese monsters as they stomped large urban areas into oblivion, and the carpet monster staggering through the California desert got many shoutouts, but after careful consideration, the award goes to....




UNCLEDAD!

His selection of moist, gooey, sloppy, slimey Astronaut Steve from Incredible Melting Man wins him a lifetime supply of Bounty towels and turkey legs! This was a good pick--really, think about that poor bastard, hauling himself into hours of makeup at the crack of dawn, the horrible, exotic rashes he must have been covered with--and it's for this movie. My freind Jeff told me there was actually some buzz about this makeup job when the movie was originally release, and he and a freind went to see it IN A THEATER because they were so exicted to see these cutting edge techniques. Sounds like Steve wasn't the only one getting burned (hee!)

Runners up are Ratso for his selection of the Unhappiest Monster, Torgo, and Mighty Jack for his lovely tone poem to the carpet monster. You each win a giant car and a poodle. Make your own monster movie!


Everyone play again!

No, Frankenstein wasn't the monster, he was the scientist!

Best old guy in a supporting role: And the Ozcar goes to: Lee Van Cleef! I never expected this! He gets the award because he was never too old to be a real live ninja master! And I could never tell when it wasn't him doing the stunts, he was that good! The look, the feel, that's all his! Whenever Timothy Van Patten spoke his language, ole Lee just stood there smiling and thinking about a dude ranch built on Clint Eastwood's demolished home.

Best story an old guy told me: SHUT UP! GO TO SLEEP!

[Torgo]

Best old guy would be that security guard in Hobgoblins. He provided the plot point that ended that stupid movie. Wait a minute, he also provided the plot point that started the movie as well! That bastard!

Then I change my vote to Donald Pleasance. Can't go wrong with him.


Best story an old guy ever told me was the story of the $5 whore. So graphic.

[Bart Fargo]

Eh? What? Speak up!

Seriously, I'd vote for the Vladamir Horowitz clone Professor Newton in Crash of the Moons. Such a nice guy, even if he is forgetful.

BTW, to Torgo: I've heard about 5 variations of that story.

You gotta give the love to Jonathan of the Painted Hills.

Also, the Old Martian wise man in SCCTM.
