Was he a big MST3K fan? Well, at least all mysteries are now known to him through the Creator.
He was a HUGE MST3K fan... had all the videos and everything (now in storage). Being from Australia, I'd never seen it before meeting him (funny how we get the dross of American TV down here - Jerry Springer, Cops, American Idol, Judge Judy etc - but not the good stuff, like MST3K...) and he turned me (and later my mother) into a fan.
