the cocaine of absurdity

tass: [from a post in rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc] "Oh, people always blame marijuana. It's been responsible for some bad movies, but not [Manos: the Hands of Fate]. Whoever greenlighted that project had to have been suffering from the kind of inflated ego and manic energy only cocaine can provide."
tass: my response: "This is the cocaine of absurdity. Those who snort of it will produce Manos: the Hands of Fate."
enotsola: hehehe
enotsola: that bad?
tass: this is a twist on one of the Hercules movies riffed on (Hercules Unchained, I think), in which [Hercules] drinks water from a spring coming from a rock, at which a random disembodied voice proclaims "these are the Waters of Forgetfulness; those who drink of them will forget all", and which scene was turned into a host segment in which J&tB eat and drink various X of the Y, including "the green bean casserole of happiness; those who eat of it will experience the contentment only a hot dish can bring" (or something like that).
tass: i'm moderately l33t when it comes to mst3k trivia
