Draw! No wait, I’m defrosting.

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:

Josh: You know, I was gonna’ get one of those iTunes enabled freezers
Trace: They’ve got all the coolest music.
Frank: What? Like the Ice Cube and the Ice Tea?. . .
Mary Jo: I don’t think that’s what…
Frank: ..Ice Ice Baby?
Joel: Come on guys. Cool it.

[Ouch]

Much punnier than I usually like to go and I never feel exactly right putting words in the Brains’ mouths. Even so, amongst the five people who capped it, I was one of the five who won. I had to go with the mstiest damn thing on the fridge, the shadowrama cling pictured above, which arrived in the mail today. Between this and my brush with Frankness earlier this week, it’ll be a disappointment if my Cinematic Titanic doesn’t arrive tomorrow wrapped in a pair of Joel’s old socks.

Addendum: I nearly forgot – congrats to fellow capper ReptilianSamurai, who also got to scavenge the fridge.
