to:

* CallBack: AmazonBrigade: Since this week's movie involves the original Greek amazons, Tom Servo and Crow discuss what it would be like to get conquered by the Amazons. And they [[ComicallyMissingThePoint completely miss the point]]: Tom complains that they would leave their nylons and curling irons all over the house, while Crow focuses on how great it would be for Amazons to do all his chores. Joel tries to set them straight, pointing out that the real Amazons were noble warriors. Then two real Amazons show up at the Satellite of Love, and they're [[MinnesotaNice nothing like anyone expected]].

--> '''Cause:''' ** The subject of Joel's invention exchange for the week: "Instant Karma". You just add water, and it forms a fitting reward or punishment for your actions! When Servo sends his whole allowance to Sally Struthers out of sympathy, he gets strawberry licorice. When Crow cleans up Tom's room (since Tom can't do it himself), Crow gets a Snickers bar. And when Servo stretches and pits Crow's danskin, Servo's aunt takes him to a Music/MichaelBolton concert.
