MiSTed: [ 0 / 1 ] Imagine! Your Christmas Greeting Inside A Chinese Fortune Cooky!

[Joseph Nebus]

Happy New Year! And what better way to see in the end of the
old year and the start of the new but by returning to the joyful art
form of the MiSTing? And what better thing to MiST than the goofy
advertisements from a fifty-year-old copy of Diners Club magazine? I
knew you wouldn't be able to gainsay that plan. And if you did try to
gainsay it I would point out you didn't know what exactly was meant by
'gainsaying', and in any case you haven't seen original advertisement
with one of the more unsettling images of this holiday season yet.
Trust me on this one:

But in the meanwhile please enjoy a MiSTing set in those strange
and wondrous days slightly after TV's Frank and yet before Professor Bobo,
in a land known only as Kind Of In Season Seven, I Guess. Thank you,
won't you?

And please do check out my little Web Site Number Nine successor
page at

before the big changeover.

Ah, thank you. I hope you like and I'm trying to get more done
more frequently. It helps that I just found one of my favorite cranks
hasn't disappeared after all, he's just gone to a different newsgroup.

I'm working hard on a complete rewrite of the system that's based
on using a lot more database work and various bits of XML. This ought to
make it much easier for me to add new features as I think of them, for
one thing, and also to enable --- if I can get it working --- stuff like
full-MiSTing-database searches. Already I've got a variant of the site
working where the introductory page pulls up a quote drawn at random from
*all* the text of *all* the MiSTings, instead of the tiny set of specially
chosen riffs that the /mst3000/ page has. This will make it take longer
to get tired of hitting reload on the index page to see the random riffs.

Critical parts of the new scheme aren't in place yet, but if you
want to peek, try using http://www.nebusresearch.com/mst3k/ instead of
/mst3000/.

I liked it very much (unquote)!

But I have to confess something: those decorative boxes with the
fortune cookies inside sounded kinda cute!

So will that URL be replacing the old one?

They are, yeah. I could see one of those Stuffy Boxes Of Food
stores selling them successfully. Just ... not with Chinese Santa,
please, ever.

Haven't decided. For now it's convenient having a functional and
a development site. I suspect, for the sake of people's bookmarks, that
I'll move things over to /mst3000/ when they're ready, but boy does an
/mst3k/ directory feel more natural.
