Last week, looking around for a copy of the MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide to secure my place as a connoisseur of the obscure movie reference, I managed to find a copy being sold by a Goodwill in Tacoma through Amazon—signed by the cast—for a “competitively-priced” $6.07. It goes without saying (though I find myself saying it) that I snapped it up immediately.

Really, you’d think that for being a fan for over a decade and a half now, I would have picked this book up long ago. Sometimes good things really do come to those who wait. Or, more than likely, I’m just being rewarded for my laziness.
