         MST3K
4th Place July 09 Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a cult TV show in the 90's. Basic premise: Man and bots trapped in space are forced to watch B-movies, make running commentary. There has never been a show that dressed up crap better than MST3K, and when they served it to you, you loved it.

       HUNTER S. THOMPSON
Special Selection July 09 "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. " from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson Sometimes to understand a life, you must start at the end. At Hunter S. Thompson's funeral, his ashes were fired from a cannon atop a 153-foot tower of his own design (in the shape of a double-thumbed fist clutching a peyote button) to the tune of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" and Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man. We all are the stars of of our own stories, but Hunter S. Thompson's story just might be a little more interesting. Creator of Gonzo Journalism, Thompson has written himself into history. This controversial 20th century writer lived his life on the fringes of society and reported about it in his own literary style. Critics can debate the quality of his work and the ethics of his choices but that may be the point that he is worth talking about. This is a man who ran for Sheriff of Aspen, Colorado on the "Freak Power" ticket, on a platform of legalizing marijuana and putting for-profit pot dealers in the stocks.

My roomate showed me that the other day and it brought back my memories of staying up too late watching MST3K. I can't remember the episode name that I remember best but I know the quote from it that had me in stitches: "As the bigger, fatter plane tries to catch up." IDK! But it has stayed with me. MST3K ftw.

Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite nominee I've ever sent in. I'm so thrilled to see him in this venue and to see how he'll stack up. I think the only other nominee I'm really enamored with this month is MST3K.
