Most people who responded to the "Who is Joe Bob?" query in last week's VGS newsletter knew that he was a drive-in movie critic and that he has an affinity for reviewing truly bad (good), bloody movies.

　　A few pegged him - correctly - as a Texan. And fewer still got really specific and pointed out that he was from Grapevine, (just outside Dallas) Texas.

　　Of course, some folks thought he was from Atlanta or San Francisco (yeah, right), but, for the most part, the responses were very impressive indeed. One of the best replies included conspiracy theories: " Joe Bob used to write a weekly movie review column in a major Dallas newspaper, but that paper went out of business (do you think there was a connection?)."

　　If memory serves us correctly, there was quite a bit of time between when the Dallas Times Herald discontinued Joe Bob and when the paper went out of business. As for the creative responses, well they were few and far between. But here are a couple:

　　"I think Joe Bob was the 5th Beatle. He was kicked out of the band after developing a form of never- ending laryngitis. As for where he is, well, that's tough. He 'died' of this freak disease in 1992. I think he staged it like Andy Kaufman, though." -BamPANTS

　　"I know who Joe Bob is. Joe Bob is a cover name for a secret program on the Internet that can access your computer at any time once you have received its 'cookie.' 'He' always says check it out because you guys want us to visit your site, receive the cookie, and give you access to our computers and personal lives. Nice try, GameSpot, but you didn't fool me." -Mike Koval

　　"Joe Bob Briggs is a movie reviewer who rates low budget movies by boobs, and bodycounts. Last movie he reccomended was Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4....Should have seen that rather than the inferior Mimic." -Rob
