Going off of an idea I had in the MST tarot discussion, it might be fun to create a set of Oblique Strategies cards that are MST thoughts. Not familiar with them? The wiki does a nice job breaking them down. Brian Eno uses them to break through a creative rut (or, you know, just to be more Eno). Wikipedia
There’s just text, so that makes life easy in terms of production. Anywhere from 100-113 cards, with MSTie ideas, I’m thinking something like:
Push the button
Send the movie
Break the Hubble
Invention Exchange
Give Deep Hurting
Participate in Public Domain Karaoke
Fly, Like A Moron
Anyone want to add to it, and maybe see if we can use some existing Word template to make these a fun DIY project?
Yep! I was even thinking a bonus pack could be The Mads Are Back things:
Swim with your face
Make motor boat noises with your mouth
Watch Mannix, only for the theme song
Allow the cats to host
Throw a Few Things in your Purse
Sit and Watch Them All
Improve Your Posture
Become the Chicken of Tomorrow (or the Man/Woman/Person of Today)
Have a Date with Your Family
Try New Things with Friends (like a Scavenger Sale or Weenie Roast)
Catch Trouble
Contemplate a World Without Springs (or other things)
Find the Spirit of Music Within
Dream a Castle In The Sky
Worship the Truck Farmer
Look through the hexfield view screen
Send them the movie!
Turn your crank to Frank.
Wonder how he eats and breathes.
Explain! Preferably in rap.
Movie in the hole!
Use the extra parts.
Calculate the odds
Try a hamdinger
Answer the distress call
Keep circulating the tapes
Get beyond Thunderdome
Simplify everything
Be a Grimwold Warrior
Tend your fires
This makes me want to play MST Mornington Crescent, but I don’t know that there’s a lot of overlap between MSTies and fans of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue.
We all come at it through our own facets, so it’s much richer and broader with everyone contributing. And I love that you got another Robot Monster reference in there. “Negative…negative…”
And here’s another suggestion, this one from our happy friend Bavarro:
