Tom: It's a special double-substitution code, based on "Carmen Miranda's

>
Tom: She does? Why?
Mike: She tried returning to a version of "Avenue Q", but UPN refused to
broadcast it.
>Captain Janeway strode in from the wings.
Mike: She was covered in Blue Cheese dressing and reeked of buffalo sauce.
> Scattered around the edges of
>the stage were several Star Fleet Officers of various years.
Crow: It's Admiral Baby and Commodore Geezer.
>She approached Harry Kim,
Tom: But refused to promote him.

Crow: Starring MacLean Stevenson.
> Then turning to the other side, coyly glanced at Lieutenant Carey,
>"Well, Hello Carey.
Tom: You're so very...
> It's so nice to be back home where I belong"
>
Mike: In other words, not on the bridge of a starship.
>Janeway passed Captain Riker,
Tom: But was overtaken on the far turn by Kyle Petty.

>Willie."
Crow: [Willie the Groundskeeper] Grrrrease me up, Woman!

Crow: Naked.
Mike: And raining.
Tom: And humid.

Mike: [Picard] Cock-a-doodle-doo! Make it so!

Crow: Everyone, put on your khaki uniforms and dance!
>Find me an empty lap, fellas
Tom: Oh *WOW*!!!
Crow: Now we know how Voyager could afford all those shuttlecraft!
>Janeway'll never go away again

>Then the officers picked up covered dishes from the side of the stage,
Tom: [Minnewegian] Oh how lovely, they brought a dish to pass.
Mike: [Ditto] Oh, I love that nice Mr. Tuvok's green bean casserole, eh?
Tom: Oh, yah mean th'one with th'fried onions and whatnot?
Mike: Yah.
Tom: Yah, it's just so ding-dang tasty, y'know?
>and began singing in reply, as they delivered the main course ...

Crow: It was Leola Root. And she killed them all. The End.

>Well, Hello Janeway!
>It's so nice to have you back where you belong

Tom: Or is it "swollen"? Hmmm. Ah well...

Crow: Ever since that reactor breach.

Tom: AAAAHHHH!! EARTHQUAKE!!!
[All duck under their chairs]
Mike: [Below his seat] Wait, Tom, we can't have an earthquake here -
we're on a satellite up in space.
Tom: Oh.
[All get up]
Tom: Sorry.
Crow: Dickweed!
>For the band's playin'

Tom: o/` Someday, love will find you!

>Janeway replied, "So here's my hat fellas,
Mike: Here's your hat, here's your coat, what's your hurry, buhbye.
> I'm stayin' where I'm at, fellas"
Crow: I'm also eating this food that I have.
>
>And the officers responded, "Promise you'll never go away again?"
>
Tom: But if you do, promise you'll never come back.
>Janeway took a seat on the edge of the center front table.

Mike: [Madeline Kahn] I'm tiwed! Sick and tiwed of wuv!
>"I went away from the lights of old Star Fleet
>And into my personal haze
Tom: It was purple, and she was freaking in it.
>But now that I'm back in the lights of old Star Fleet
>Tomorrow will be brighter than the good old days
>
Crow: Especially now that they've replaced all those incandescent
bulbs with fluorescents.
>The Officers appeared to look fondly,
Mike: But they were actually glaring at her with malevolent loathing.
> pausing in their delivery.
>
Crow: PUSH! PUSH!
[Tom breathes rhythmically]

Crow: Everyone stay calm! There is no reason to panic! DO NOT PANIC!!!!

Crow: o/` 'Cuz it shines on me wherever you are! o/`
>Janeway slid over the bar in the back, noticing Captain Scott.
>
Mike: Noticed him? She practically tripped over him!
>"You're lookin' great, Scotty
>Lose some weight, Scotty?
Tom: Thanks to his patented new All-Booze Diet, Scotty's lost
enough weight to change the laws of physics!
>Janeway's overjoyed and overwhelmed and over par
>
Crow: And over the rainbow.
Tom: And over the hill.
Mike: But not yet over herself.
>The Officers, turned towards Janeway.
>
Crow: Mirab, his sails unfurled!

Crow: Then...
Mike: Suddenly...
Tom: Meanwhile...

Mike: Trying to lose herself in the pack.
> "Golly gee, fellas. Find me a vacant knee, fellas."

Crow: But there was no room at the knee for Kathryn.

Tom: [German] Now ist ze time on "Shprockets" vhen ve dance!

Crow: I'm starting to think this song's never going away.

Mike: [Janeway] Enough with hellos, where's my coffee?!?
>It's so nice to have you back where you belong

Tom: But you can't tell her much!
>You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
>You're still goin' strong
>I hear the ice tinkle
Tom: Well, that's rather rude!
Crow: Yeah, no one likes an eavesdropper. Especially there.
>See the lights twinkle
>And you still get glances from us handsome men
Mike: Mainly, men wanting to know if your Borg friend is seeing anyone.
>So...
>
Tom: o/` A needle with some thre-e-e-e-ead! o/`
>Janeway took a seat on one of the steps. "Wow wow wow, fellas"

Crow: !woW boB woW !thaT guM yoU likE iS goinG tO comE bacK iN stylE!

Mike: o/` Shake it like a Polaroid picture! o/`

Mike: And here we thought Tom Paris was the easiest mark on Voyager!

Crow: And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Mike: I'm not sure if that's the silliest idea I've heard all day, or just

[all leave]
O |2| <3> (4) {5} [6]
[BRIDGE - Crow & Tom each have several sealed opaque plastic bags before
them, and about a dozen empty, crushed, cereal-type boxes behind them]
Crow: Oh man, I never want to see another piece of sweetened, artificially
colored, fruitishly-flavored grain product again!
Tom: You don't mean that.
Crow: Well - no, but it seemed the appropriate thing to say after downing
15 boxes.
[Mike enters, munching on a bag of marshmallows]
Mike: Hey guys. Late Breakfast?
Crow: It's more than just that, Mike. We're amassing our collection.
Mike: Your what?
Tom: Take a look.
[Mike holds up one of the boxes and read...]
Mike: Golden-O's?
Tom: Yep. Sugar-sweetened chunks of rice and corn in all your favorite Star
Trek shapes, from Spock to Phlox.
Crow: And they put special TrekSmut action figures in each box!
Tom: For a limited time only!
Crow: Wanna see?
Mike: I'm fairly sure they'll scar me for life, but what the heck?
Crow: Okay, let's start with this one.
Mike: [Picks up a bag, festooned with two "male" symbols (You know, Mars, or
the
circle with the arrow)] Huh. Can I open it?
Tom: Um, I'm not sure we're allowed to.
Crow: Yeah, due to various state, local and federal regulations.
Mike: Oh, sorry. Well, just describe it for me.
Crow: Well, this one is part of the "Slash" set. It seems fairly popular
around these here parts.
Tom: Yeah, this one is a "G/B". It's also available in K/S, P/Q, C/P and A/R.
Crow: There's also a Femmeslash set, with U/R and K/D and J/7 and J/T and T/S
and even C/T.
Mike: Hmm, okay, that's quite a -
Crow: Oh wait, there's these over here: [Mike picks up another mystery bag,
this one with both a male and a female symbol] It's part of what I like
to call the Het Set!
Tom: Constantly!
Crow: I just like a good rhyming scheme, is all. Anyway, this one's a - let's
see, it's a J/C.
Tom: Yeah, there's dozens of these things all over - P/C, J/Q, J/J...
Crow: K/U, S/U, S/C...
Tom: R/T, W/T, A/T, T/Tu...
Crow: P/T, K/T, K/7, C/7, A/S, O/K...
Mike: O/K! Yes, OK, I get the point. What about this? [Picks up a metal box
with a big bold "X" on it]
Tom: Aaah, the Crossover.
Crow: That's kind of an anything goes deal. It could be just about anybody
and anything.
Tom: Yeah, it's sorta like Schroedinger's Fanfic. You'll run up on stuff like
Scotty and Samantha Carter...
Crow: Janeway and Han Solo...
Tom: Phlox and Agent Scully...
Crow: Wesley Crusher and Buffy the Vampire Slayer...
Tom: Garak and Severus Snape...
Mike: Uh-huh. You realize that there's a fanfic author out there right now,
taking notes and preparing to subject us to every one of these, right?
Tom: *Pffft!*
Crow: Look, we survived that whole Daria/Sailor Moon crossover deal.
Tom: Yeah, what could be worse?
Mike: I dunno, how about Voyager/Daria/Sailor Moon?
Crow: I... we...
Mike: Where Seven and Tuxedo Mask get married and Jane Lane falls head over
heels for Harry Kim?
Tom: Thanks for jinxing us, Nelson!
Mike: Anytime. [Looks down again] Hey, here's one out of the bag. [He picks it
Up and we see that it's basically a teenage girl in a Fleet Uniform
holding a big honking gun] Don't tell me, let me guess - it's The Big M
herself, yes?
Crow: Yeah. we're not sure how she snuck into the Smut figures.
Tom: Probably all that skinny dipping.
Mike: Does she do anything?
Crow: I think she dips all the other action figures in water until their
clothes dissolve or something.
Tom: Then she locks them in a room until they agree to accede to her demands.
Mike: Typical, I suppose. [Looks down again and picks up another sealed bag,
this one larger and a kinda sorta rectangular shape] What's this one?
Tom: A Shuttlecraft.
Mike: A... Shuttlecraft?
Crow: Yes.
Mike: But how does that qualify as -
Crow: We don't know.
Tom: And we don't wanna know.
Mike: [starts to speak, then stops] Y'know, that's probably for the best.
Hey, uh, you think we should give the info now?
Crow: Aw, what's the point to it?
Tom: C'mon now, never say never, Crow.
Crow: *sigh* Yeah, okay. To join the MiSTing Authors Dibs List, send an
e-mail to "majo...@pinky.wtower.com" (assuming it ever revives) with
the message "subscribe dibslist" in the message body.
Tom: Of course, read the FAQ at "http://www.masemware.com/mst3k/faq.shtml" and
don't work blue. Oh, and whenever possible, try to discourage musical
interludes by your fleet captains.
Mike: That's the ticket.
Crow: Hey by the way, whatever happened to that blogging project you had?
Mike: Funny you should ask. I was contacted by a representative for the
nation's leading marshmallow producer. They offered me a pretty penny
for the whole set-up.
Tom: Mike!
Crow: Aw man, you sold out to Big Marshmallow!
Mike: [pops another in his mouth] Yup.
Tom: How much?
Mike: Lifetime supply of minis, plus they paid off all my credit cards.
Tom: The cards are active again? Sweet! [hovers off to transact transactions]
Crow: Well Mike, enjoy financial solvency for the next 10 minutes.
[Lights flash]
Mike: Yeah, that's what he thinks. Let him try and charge something on that
Diners Club and see how far he gets. [hits the button] So how was all
that, T'Pearl?
[D13 - Pearl & Brainy are lounging in a couple of deck chairs. On a table
between them is a pitcher full of a very very very yellow looking liquid.
Pearl & Brainy are clutching a daiquiri glass full of the same goop. They're
relaxed and mellow, and are bedecked with a snout and a pair of long floppy
ears. Brain Guy is cuddling his brain pan, where his brain is also bedecked
with a pair of long floppy ears.]
Pearl: 'Kay Brainy, down th'hatch!
Observer: Isn't, isn't this, like, the 18th one of these or something?
Pearl: I think so, b'who's countin'?
Observer: Ek-Exc'llent point! Here's looking up your old address!
[Pearl quaffs hers in one swallow. Brainy pours his over his Brain]
Pearl: Shmoove! [Notices camera] NELSHIN! Look Brainy, 's'our old pally
Mikey Mike-Mike Nelshin! An' Art! An', an' an the one who ain't art!
Observer: Sup, home fryers?
Pearl: Home Skillets.
Observer: Oh. Well, whatever.
Pearl: Hey, looks like you guys made it through whatever the hell it was I
sent you up there, huh? Huh?
Observer: Calls for a drinkypoo, I think.
Pearl: Guy Brain, you read my mind! [Both laugh hysterically at this] Hey
lissen up, Spacekins, I got a secret - if you wanna really good really
fun really really drink, yer best bet is some bashed mananas - bashed
mananas - 'Zerver, what'm I tryin' to say here?
Observer: Nashed Bamamas.
Pearl: Yeah, that's it. The Apester may be a pain in the whuzit, but lemme
tell ya, he makes a - *HELL* - of a bartender! He mixed his Slashed
Labambas...
Observer: Dashed Marambas.
Pearl: Whatever - he mixed 'em with this dog juice potion I had jus' kinda
lyin' around, an I gotta tell ya - I haven't been this buzzed since the
night I graduated fr'm good ol' Evil U and me an' thish guy - well,
anyway, 's a blast!
Observer: Word out!
Pearl: Up.
Observer: Whatever.
Pearl: Sh-sho ennyway, Nelshrik, I'll fix yer l'il red wagon nex' time, but...
[Bobo enters, carrying a large flat disk]
Bobo: Sorry to interrupt, Lawgiver...
Pearl: BOBOBO! Lookie here, Brainy, 's'our ol' pall BobbyBo!
Observer: Sup, home appliance?
Bobo: Thank you, Lawgiver. Anyway, the only thing left after cleaning out
downstairs was this old Frisbee and I didn't know what you-
[Pearl and Brain Guy instantly spring to attention. Their floppy ears are now
fully raised and alert]
Pearl: A FRISBEE?!?!? *pant**pant**pant*
Observer: THROW IT! THROWITTHROWITTHROWITTHROWIT!!!
Bobo: Um, are you sure you want me to.
Observer: YESOYESOYESOYES!
Pearl: PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE THROW IT!!!!
Bobo: [shrugs] Well, okay. [Tosses the Frisbee away]
Both: MINE! [Both scamper after it, upsetting their drinks and barking madly]
Bobo: [watching them go] Hmm. Well I'll be. I guess everyone needs a hobby.
[pulls a small stuffed animal out of his coat pocket] I prefer Beanie
Babies myself.
[Bobo walks away humming, with Pearl and Brain Guy barking in the distance and
we fade away]
