Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
Have you ever been watching something on television and just started giving whatever it is you're watching the MST3K treatment?
My wife was watching - more like staring vacantly at it since it was barely 5 o'clock in the morning - The War Of the Worlds about 35 minutes into the movie. The scene was of Dr. Clayton Forrester (Gene Barry) and Sylvia Van Buren (Ann Robinson) had just crashed their small plane and had taken refuge in an abandoned house only to have one of the Martion war machines sitting right outside.
Just as the war machine sends in it's 'television camera' into the house and it sneaks up on Ann Robinson is when I started my MST3K treatment:

Sylvia: "AAAAAAaaaaaggggghhhh!!!!"
Mikey's ad-lib: "Hi - could you tell me where the interstate is?"
Clayton swings the axe in his hands and severes the camera lens from the supporting cable attached to Martian war machine
Another scene that popped out was when the military had decided to drop nuclear weapons on the Martians and were going to do it at the initial landing point in California - just outside of Los Angeles.
Scene of hundreds of people sitting & standing on rocky hills with deep valleys running below - obviously displaced people...refugees from Los Angeles
Military Announcer: "Two minutes to bomb drop - two minutes!! All personnel take precautions!"
Mikey's ad-lib: "And prepare your marshmellows and hotdogs for roasting!"
Anyway....it's weird how you can be looking forward to seeing something and when you're actually watching it, your mind starts to fill-in-the-blanks at strategic moments in the movie.
This particular episode was probably cause I was running on vapors - I got maybe three hours of sleep cause I just couldn't seem to relax long enough to drift off.
Well, just remember this the next time you're watching something and your mind starts to drift off of it....

You know, I've never thought about it too much but it has occassionaly dawned on me that Joe and I have seen far too much MST3K because we both give nearly everything the MST3K treatment. Not just movies but music and the news, also.
