And now an important plea from ArchHallJr (the capper, not the actor). Apologies if you’ve already heard it, but Arch has made a great start of the CapperWiki, and now he needs somebody to step up and help keep it serving the community - Gerson

Folks,

By now most of you have noticed that I cannot give the wiki the time it deserves to be maintained, developed and otherwise. I am asking that someone within the capping community take over the responsibility of controlling and maintaining the wiki. It is possible that the job could be split into two parts. Firstly, the aforementioned controlling and maintaining the site. Second, someone who develops the site. However, it is possible the two jobs can go to the same person. I will continue to pay for the hosting and domain name. I have no problem with this as this community has given me so much over the years, it is the least I can do. But whomever takes over will have final say on decisions pertaining to all things wiki. Regardless of me paying the bills, I will not be a ’shadow’ owner, I am giving up complete control. I will stay on as a ‘consultant’ and help with any issues that may crop up as best I can. Gerson has also offered to help in a limited capacity as well. I would ask that whoever is interested have a decent tech background. You don’t need to be super sysadmin or an ubercoder, but more than a modicum of technical expertise is kind of required to do this and do it right. My guess is that there are several people within the group that fit this description. The question is do you want the responsibility? If you do, please be sure. In the words of the immortal Mayor Chapstick, no givesies-backsies! ;)

I apologize to you all for not giving the site the attention it needs but my life in the real world is not compatible with maintaining and/or developing the wiki at this time. Heck, it hasn’t been for some time. I think you all know that. It is my sincere hope that this decision will make the wiki a better place to visit and source of enjoyment for everyone.

If you are interested, contact me via this handy form and know that I will help with the transition and get you where you need to be to be the full on site admin for the wiki. You won’t be stepping into it alone. Thank you for your time

– Arch

To celebrate his part in bringing back the real live properly voiced Tom and Crow, if even for a brief segment, I’m declaring this Tuesday JoeCrow day at Inventing Situations. I’m trying to get the day honored throughout the capper community, but I may have moved too late on that.

To properly honor the day, drink whenever Joe tells you to. Tea-totallers and the underage may substitute hot tea for booze, but they have to chug it.

And since this is all happening on a release of the mst3k episode Giant Gila Monster, we’re showing the unmstied version at 8 PM that day.

p.s. the disc is also available in a limited single order pressing direct from Rhino, that ships on the 11th.

Update: The holiday has been picked up at hipsoda and Glitter’s told me they’ll be celebrating at the CPB too.

Today I had my second, more indirect, interaction with one of the Cinematic Titanic crew this week, and perhaps oddest responses a mstie has ever had to opening up their mailbox: “oh, it’s only the shadowrama cling off of Mary Jo Pehl’s fridge.” Maybe it was more like “at least it’s the shadowrama”, but still, there was a lot of disappointment that there was no Oozing Skull in there, since I really thought today might be the day. But it’s not like you care about the minor downturns that make up my life. You just want to know how I came to possess such a fantastic piece of celebrity swag. It’s simple, really, I finally achieved what every capper secretly aspires to, recognition for their genius from the Brains. Or at least one of their spouses. You see, over on the mst3k review / Satellite New message board, forum member RAD a.k.a. Total Husband Ron a.k.a. Mary Jo Pehl’s mate has been running a Caption This! thread to help pass time while we wait for our Titanics to come in. In one post, he offered up a picture of their fridge for capping, with a prize of your choice of anything off of the fridge. The prize was too good to pass up, but I was a little stumped and ended up going a little against my grain with this caption:

TV’s Frank and the rest of the cast of Cartoon Dump will be doing three live shows in New York between January and March. There’ll probably be a few cappers at the January 8th, 8pm show. If you’re going and want help finding the gaggle or wonder if there’s a way to get $5 off your ticket, contact me.

Order tickets here.  (Regular price $10 in advance, $15 at the door, two drink (or item as they call it) minimum.
