Divorce is Entertaining
This is not a hint to any husband-shaped person or persons who may be reading. Promise.
In truth, the only thing I want to divorce is my favorite restaurant, which closed down unexpectedly, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. But I guess since it closed without notice, it divorced me before I could divorce it.

Ham Still Sounds Delightful This Evening

And yet I still cannot find a copy of Toby Huss as Sinatra singing Onyx's "Slam."

So, about MST3K Vol 20...
Remember how, last month, I said I couldn't wait to find out how the new Shout! Factory MST3K Volume 20 set was going to look?
This is from about 11 seconds into "Project Moonbase." You can see it's the same sort of thing that happened in the "Beast of Yucca Flats" disk I posted about a month ago. When it plays at regular speed, it looks like a white flicker, and it happens repeatedly on multiple disks.
I went through this set immediately because I was too late to return the other sets. I'm exchanging it and I won't be buying any more. The reason people buy the disks is so they can get nice clean copies of what they already have from "trading" copies, and this pretty much undermines that reasoning. Besides, neither Shout! nor the store I buy them from has responded to my complaints (except with a snotty email from Shout! that made it clear they didn't give a fuck), so fuck them.
I just wish MST3K fans didn't think that it was sacrilege to expect decent quality on disks. Most just say "Yay I don't care that it sucks at least I have it!" which is, honestly, not a very defensible life philosophy.

Posted for reference rather than entertainment
Some Shout! Factory MST3K disks have quality issues where the image flickers and, after a lot of effort because my coordination sucks, I managed to get some pictures of the flickers. I'm posting these here for reference only. There may or may not be entertainment value in this!
These are from about 14:40 into "Money Talks," a short on the "Beast of Yucca Flats" DVD. This is probably where I mention that, while Vol 18 sucked as far as flickers go, Vol 19 had almost none at all. Can't wait to find out what Vol 20 is like.
