MISTIERS: Joel Boutiere and Ciaran Conliffle TITLE: MST: White Mite (MiSTied by Dr. Thinker, original story by Artist Bros.) CHARACTERS: Mike and Bots, Bizarro Mike/Bots/Pearl/Bobo/Observer SUMMARY: Yes, it's time once again to visit the fun-filled world of Dr. Thinker, where no spelling rules apply and God forbid you try to find humor. Dr. Thinker picks up the only marginally funny MMPR parody story "White Mite" and makes it look like the funniest stories ever in comparison to his dud riffs. The plot? Eh, who cares? Believe me, you won't. SHORTS: CATAGORIES: MST, MMPR EMAIL: demon2550@aol.com URL: HOST SEGMENTS: Opening: On a decidedly "Sliders" note, Tom and Crow unveil a device for traveling to parallel universes. Mike is doubtful (as well he should be.) First: Mike and Bots are thrown into a bizarre parallel universe where their Bizarro counterparts are, well, morons. Mike and the Bots head into the theater with them. Second: Mike and the Bots watch with horror as Bizarro Tom sings Eurythmics songs (badly and with the wrong lyrics). They meet Bizarro Gypsy (or Gypsp), who is decidedly unhelpful. Third: Mike and friends manage to return to their reality, only to discover that Dr. Thinker fanfics are on the way. Panic ensuses. REFLECTIONS: I think philosophers for ages will discuss the eternal question that has been raised lately: Which is more painful, a Dr. Thinker fanfic, or a Dr. Thinker MiSTing? Personally, I have to side with the MiSTing crowd. While Dr. Thinker's fanfics are, in their own way, extremely painful, at least they are original ideas (well, somewhat, depending on how original you think fanfiction is anyway.) Dr. Thinker's MiSTings, on the other hand, are mostly composed of a) Jokes that make absolutely no sense, b) Jokes taken from other MiSTings that still, somehow, make no sense (in one of the Doc's MiSTings, I wasn't ten pages in and had already recognized three lines from other, most definitely better, MiSTings), and c) insults of characters that are about as funny as any Adam Sandler movie. The difference between a Dr T fanfic and a Dr T MiSTing is like the difference between hitting yourself over the head with a brick and getting shot in the gut. They're both very painful, but in very different ways. Note to Dr. Thinker: Here are a few words of advice for Dr. Thinker that might help him improve his MiSTing style. No charge, really. 1. Parody is spelled P-A-R-O-D-Y. I acknowledged this point in the MiSTing, but I thought I'd mention it again since the good doctor spelled it wrong in his IMMG entry for the MiSTing as well! 2. Woman is one singular woman, as in Catwoman or Wonder Woman. Women is more than one woman. 3. The phrase is "I stand corrected," not "I STAND CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 4. On that note, one exclamation point is sufficient to indicate amplified speech. Fifteen exclamation points and capital letters may be considered excessive. 5. Here is a link to the real lyrics of "Sweet Dreams (are Made of This)" http://www.lyrics.ch/query/get?s=28664 6. http://pinky.wtower.com/mst3k/faq.shtml#3.3 Link to this location and read this section. When you're finished, read it again. Read it one more time to make sure it sinks in. Thank you. Joel Boutiere CHRONOLOGICAL NOTES: None really. Could take place any time when Pearl and her gang are in the shuttle. RECOMMENDED READING: Recent Good MiSTings: "Star Trek-The Next Generation/X-Men: 2nd Contact", edited by Matthew Blackwell.
