A while back Dohopoki posted two blogs that made me laugh,one was Things that start with T and the other was Things that start with E. So being the creative writer that I am I decided to totally steal his idea, thanks Doho! So here are my Things that start with M
Meerkat Manor: I so did not want to like this show when I first saw it. I tried my best to not get roped in but failed miserably. If you’ve never seen the show it follows a clan of Meerkats called the Whiskers and their struggle to survive in the Kalahari desert. If the only meerkat you’ve seen is Timon from The Lion King then you haven’t seen a meerkat at all. These little critters are adorable and you really find yourself getting attached to them, or at least I did.
Mega Man: The Blue Bomber himself! I love the MegaMan games, or at least the older ones anyway. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent playing the first one when I was younger. I even got into a fight over it, it was a weekend rental that my cousin and I had to share, I told him he could play after my game was over. Well the particular level I was playing at that time (I think it was Gutsman) had an extra life fairly early on in the stage so I was basically playing a never ending game. Well Jerry (my cousin) didn’t like this and decided to turn off my game mid-level. Needless to say I was not amused and proceeded to beat the snot out of him. I wasn’t allowed to rent MegaMan for a while after that, I never could figure out why. 😉
MST3K: I freaking love this show! It combines two of my loves, bad movies and sci-fi, what more could you ask for? About a week or so ago someone on X-E (I believe it was Squee4242) posted a link to this site that lists all the MST3K episodes available on YouTube and Google Video. If your familiar with MST3K and haven’t seen Manos: The Hands of Fate (another M! Wo0t!) you should check it out, it’s so bad it’s good.
The Mist: Evidently this is one of those love ’em or hate ’em movies. I read the short story when I was in high school and it was one of my fav’s so of course I loved the movie. I haven’t picked it up on DVD yet but from what I hear the black and white version is even creepier than the color version.
Mario Kart: I love this series of games. From the very first all the way thru Mario Kart DS (I don’t have a Wii yet so I can’t give an opinion on that one) this is one game that I never get tired of playing. And Battle mode is even more fun after a few drinks….or so I’ve heard.
Michigan: My home state, I don’t miss living there but I miss the Lake in the summer time and Henry’s cheeseburgers on the beach. Henry’s is a local legend where I’m from, supposedly someone accused the owner of using kangaroo meat of all things in his hamburgers and he offered a reward to anyone who could prove he used anything but beef. They’re greasy, messy and oh so delicious! I make it a point to stop there whenever I go back to visit.
There are a lot of other M things I could write about but it’s late and I’m tired so I’m gonna call it a night.
Ok…..just because it’s on right now I have to add one more M.
ManBearPig: If you haven’t seen this episode of South Park, try finding it on YouTube. It’s…..it’s……well here read this and see for yourself.
Dan's Corner of the Internet 
I’m glad you stole the idea because I forgot all about it.
Oh yeah, I like to speed run Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X. I was for a time training for taking the world record for Mega Man X but life got in the way.
I have a few experiences with the “when my game is over” fight, Don’t ever turn off my game, I turn into an animal!
I got a Wii a month ago and I still havent picked up Mario Kart, or Brawl, or any of the big games everyones talking about,,whats wrong with me.
Manbearpig is real! I once saw him shopping at target, Im Super Cereal!!
I love Meerkat Manor. I actually got to go to a wildlife preserve where they have meerkats and got to feed and play with them. They are awesome. I posted about it on my blog and even put a picture of one of them up.
I saw ManBearPig just a few minutes ago when I went to 7-11 to but my new Dew flavors (review coming soon). He lives in Colorado you know, just ask Al Gore! I’m so cereal right now!
I love Meerkat Manor so much. Flower was my home girl. I really want to check out that place DC blogged about, it sounds amazing.
I was indeed the one that posted the MST3K moocher page 🙂 In contrast to that illicitness, here’s where you can watch every South Park ep for free on the official site: http://www.southparkstudios.com/search/?search=Imaginationland
For some reason I never caught the ManBearPig or Imaginationland episodes. I did love the black and white version of The Mist even more than I did the color.
Hmm I don’t know if my comment got eaten or maybe just spam blocked. But I wanted to say you can watch every episode on southparkstudios dot com, all for freezie.
Stupid spam filter!
I am so with you on the MST3K and SNES Mario Kart love.
MST3K wasn’t shown much here, we got it every so often at lunch time on a Sunday on Sci-Fi before a marathon of Twilight Zone, but they kicked it to the curb. I was always fond of the “Jack Frost” (If only for Crow hot-gluing fur to his body – “Hi, oh yeah, I’m a bear…” – and Tom Servo in peasant girl dress) and “Agent of HARM” (“Watch me open the HELL outta this door”).
Have only ever played Mario Kart on the SNES, I kept getting owned on it too, but it’s so very fun that I don’t mind! It was always a toss up between playing F-Zero and Mario Kart when I went to play with a friend, I’d lose at both, but it’s much more enjoyable being handed your ass in a go-kart.
MaKa? Oh, now you’re speaking my language!

^^ If you’ve never seen the Mario Kart DS japanese commercial, please do so now. Its probably the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. XD
I’ve played pretty much every Mario Kart, and I have to say that the DS version is my hands down favorite. Mostly because its portable, all my friends have it, and I love screaming at it. ^^ Yes.
MST3K….man. I used to watch that when I was in middle school. Those were the freakin’ days.
Guise Jack Frost is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen but when you add MST3K it makes it so much more entertaining! I should watch that one again online! And as for getting owned at Kart, I’m right there with you, but I love the game so I keep at it.
And Dio I guess I’m gonna have to look up that commercial because I can’t say that I’ve seen it. And if your reading this post your MaKa code on Guise’s nifty new BB! We got some racing to do!
Ok, I got a confession to make–actually a couple.
I’ve never really thought MST3K was funny. Granted, I’ve never watched it that much, but they’ve only said one thing that I actually laughed at, and it was a Benny Hill reference. Other than that, it just never did anything for me. The thing is, I actually like that kind of humor. I like making fun of bad movies, but I just never thought the way they did it was funny.
Also, I don’t think most of The Kids in the Hall was ever funny. I’ve always thought The State or Exit 57 were a lot funnier–even SNL. But The Kids in the Hall never did it for me.
