*The Stuff*

An Artic driller notices white goo coming out of the ground (no, not black
gold or Texas tea) and tastes it. It tastes great. He gets others to try it.
We got us a product here, folks. In no time at all the FDA approves it, and
people all over the country are eating it. And eating it. And eating it.
Except for our hero, who doesn't go in for fads, and a little boy who is
afraid of it. And so it goes.

Ever see *The Blob*? The scare factor on this one is about the same. (i.e.,
if you're a twit wombat it's scary the first time, but probably not the
second, and if you're anyone else there's no way it'll be scary.) It isn't
even very funny. And I sure don't expect to see any awards for acting handed
out to the cast. If you ever wondered what would happen if they melted the
Sta-Puf marshamllow man, go ahead and see it. Otherwise, I wouldn't
recommend it.

"When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all."
