Opening Scene

The scene opens on the head and shoulders of a heavyset middle aged man with glasses and a somewhat gray beard, as seen from a webcam, presumably mounted atop a computer monitor. The shelves behind the man is cluttered with various books, VHS tapes, and other random items, including a glass-brick clock. This man is me, JESSE, trying to come back to the Mystery Science Theater fan fiction scene.

JESSE: Hey, folks, it's your good buddy JMShearer. Since I'm done with YouTube videos for I don't know how long and am going back to mostly writing again, I figure I may as well get started with a MiSTing of something from my Funny Spam folder. Here's one I got back in August of last year. It's amusing for quite a few reasons. Let's have a look, shall we?

JESSE: And you think that's me why, exactly?

JESSE: What kind of franchise business?

JESSE: Good for them, I guess.

JESSE: Ah, 25 years XP right from the start, huh?

JESSE: Thanks, Deb!

JESSE: Love the fancy title.

JESSE: Uh huh.

JESSE: What if I save this message as a word processor file, delete
it from my spam folder, then wait several months to write a
MiSTing, instead?

JESSE: Did I miss something, or does this company not have a name?

[scene shifts back to opening]

JESSE: Fun stuff, that. Before too long, I'm hoping to get back to more stuff like my classic works, which I've tried to reboot a few times over the years, most notably here, here, and here. The attempt to reboot you're looking at now was inspired by finding some ancient fodder on an old laptop while I was on vacation last fall. I'm not going to commit to anything just yet, but I might actually get somewhere with all this this time. As for possible posting locations, right now, I'm thinking my blog, the one MST newsgroup I'm still in, and possibly the Misting Canon site. We'll see how it all plays out, of course. As always, more to come
