Ken?  Master Ninja?  I thought that Brett was from Australia, how
can he have so many MST3K refs?

OK.. not exactly the response I was planning on.... yes I *am* from 
Australia... but then I'm ignorant of what the hell 'MST3K' is??? anyone care
to explain it to me???

Okay, here's the premise: Mad scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester and his 
assistant take some ordinary Joe Blow (Joel in the first few seasons, Mike in 
the remaining seasons) and lock him up in an orbiting satellite and force him 
to endure constant showings of *BAD* movies.  Joel/Mike copes by heckling the 
hell out of said movies with the help of two robot companions (Crow T. Robot 
and Tom Servo) made from parts from the satellite.  Chock full of pop culture 
references and one hell of a laugh riot.  I'm not sure about the "Ken" 
reference, but "Master Ninja" was the name of a couple of movies that they had 
fun with.  They even made a movie of MST3K centering around "This Island 
Earth".
