Miami is apparently one of the most miserable cities in the US.

Considering the climate of 80s and 90s year-round, not to mention nearly daily thunderstorms, what do you expect?

Although, this drone video is pretty amazing, and I have to admitm this is a beautiful city at night.

Being in a tropical climate like that, it’s going to be hot and humid like that. It’s a given.
But many New York retirees still flock there in the winter. Miami is the snowbird capital.
If it was up to me, I’d go to Arizona. The Florida heat doesn’t bother me but the humidity does a number on my heart.

Humidity's just as bad here in the summer, though we're considered a subtropical climate (we were a temperate climate before Climate Change). One of the things I hate the most about summer humidity? Every time I step foot outside, my glasses immediately fog up, then take several minutes to clear enough to where I can see again.

The only remaining KTMA episode of Mst3k (K03 - Star Force Fugitive Alien 2) which has been fortunate to have bits and pieces released (its latest being a few clips on the old mst3k.com website in 2009)..... appears to now be permanently gone for good.

Whether it’s misplaced or destroyed is unknown but either way, it’s gone. No wonder it didn’t get a release with K01 and K02 in November 2016.

Oh no. That’s terrible!

As for why I was surprised about Miami being miserable, I thought everything was mucho loco down there, and everyone was always having fun.

I mean with how hot it gets down there I would not want to live there. My pale Irish skin does not mix well with the sun. Like literally last summer there was one point just from sitting in the car my leg got burned because it was exposed to a sunny spot Sometimes I wish I had more melanin in my skin

Also in regards to last night, yes, as a life long MST fan I was pretty bummed, especially since this one was a Sandy Frank film (Sandy Frank is a producer who’s brought many Japanese movies and TV shows to America and dubbed them into English, many of which were featured on MST in its initial pilot season in KTMA TV23 and season 3 on Comedy Central). So it looks like the show will never truly be complete with all episodes, but what can you do

On the plus side, at least I can now add this information to its respective lost page on the lost media wiki.

Well, I had no idea this logo was actually THIS long!

 

[D'Snowth]

Two froggin' minutes? That's gotta be like a record or something! Even most movie studio logos are 21 seconds at most.
