In Martens last bubble, what does "it's movie sign" mean? I'm sure I'm probably missing some sort of reference here. Also, to all of those that use the internet to seek out "flame fodder".....here ya go, my post is all yours.

The Tom Servo bit and Movie Sign are references to Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's, er, tough to explain if you don't already know it... But suffice it to say there were robots, who were occasionally forced (with their human companion) to watch terrible movies, which they mocked mercilessly (that last being the point of the whole affair). The lighting of the Movie Sign meant this was about to occur. It involved lots of running around screaming and flailing, for whatever reason. The framing for that show was weird.

Its been explained several times in the thread. Jeph explained it on twitter. Do people read anymore? Are people unable to use google? :psyduck:
Excuse me, I have to find a wall to hit my head against.
I leave all the money in my wallet, about €4.50, to the Order of the Dickbroom.

Best to kill him now Marten, he strikes me as the "I'll be back." type
Either that, or Faye walks in and beats the crap outta him.

What sort of coffee maker are you using? Me and the missus would love that kind of brewing speed! Dude managed to get to "the least agressive person in the strip is about to use the blade" in less time than it takes a sports car to get to 100km/h.

Instant I'm afraid, my Coffee Filter Machine bit the dust a wee while back and I haven't gotten round to replacing it yet.

The lighting of the Movie Sign was the "call to instant action" alert, because if the characters failed to rush to the cinema to watch the bad movies, the mad scientists who kept the hero imprisoned on the space-station would punish them by shutting off the oxygen supply, electric shocks etc. Honestly people, I've never even seen MST3K but I can use Wikipedia...
Moment of the strip, if not moment of the week, is definitely: "He invented the robot hamster!" JE-C is revered by real hamsters everywhere for saving them from lifetimes of cages, running in wheels, neglect by their owners etc. Most entertaining to see Marten about to go Conan (the barbarian, not O'Brien) on Clinton. Typing that, I had a weird flash of Marten wearing a loincloth, and Hanners in that Valkyrie outfit Sandahl Bergman wore at the end of the movie...
