This was posted at Sat News, but I thought I'd share it here too... Cnn.comThey realy cracked me up in this one. I liked the differences between geeks and nerds. (now I know what I am)

Joel still seems put-off by the RiffTrax questions. His answer to that question wasn't exactly gracious, and it came off as petulant, almost like he was whining: they're moving in on our turf!
Just once, I'd like him to say something like, "We like those guys and wish them well. There's plenty of room for both groups, like stuffing and potatoes."

Hmm, I didn't pick up petulance at all - but I guess you could be right, I'd have to hear the tone of his voice before I'd level that accusation.
That's kind of become his stock answer when interviewers ask about Rifftrax. Who knows, maybe he secretly really, really hates them and that's as gracious an answer as we'll get, ;D but yeah, It would be cool to hear him say,"They are neato-keen and I want to work with Mike again"

I didn't see anything wrong with what Joel said. Rifftrax does reach back in time for their live shows, but they kind of have to, right? They can't get the rights to use Star Wars just yet.
J.E.W. That's funny.

Ah crap my roflcopter just went airborne:
CNN: What's the secret to making wisecracks for a living?
Conniff: That's a long process. We all started out as stand-up comics, so we all set out for careers being weisenheimers, making wisecracks.
Beaulieu: You have Weisenheimers, don't you? [Everyone laughs.]
Conniff: I do, actually, it's painful.
Hodgson: I'm grappling with Weisenheimer's disease.
Pehl: We're having a walk for you.
