I don't want any money from you, so there's no need to
apologize.
I do appreciate your writing to me and your kind
words. I'm glad we at MST3K made you laugh! And I
love that as many of our fans grow older, they get
wise to some of our wisecracks. There was usually
something for everyone in every show!
Check out the new iterations of MST3K: RiffTrax with
Mike Nelson, and Cinematic Titanic with Joel Hodgson.
Thanks again,
Mary Jo
*______* ::drool:: that's so cool. okay, i know, i'm a stupid geek and this isn't probably impressive to
anyone else, but to me, this is pearl forrester! this is the lady i'd watch on the tv every week. so, this
is like brad pitt writing someone else. i'd be cool if mike would write me, too, but i'm just happy to have
mary jo ^__^ she completely went up +10 cool points. it's like all my childhood heroes are talking to me.
too bad tchaikovsky is dead... :P
okay, this fan-crazed storm is over...for now ^__^
mary jo pehl,
people writing me back,
mst3k,
