SNL (Saturday Night Live) should change its name to (SNWILONIS)

Every now and again, I try to watch Saturday Night Live. I've been largely unimpressed with the sketches in recent years, but will try to watch it once every month or two to see if any needed improvements have been made. I watched it last night, largely due to the rock band Muse being the musical guest. They were great, but as for the show itself? For lack of a better word, it sucked. The Weekend Update seems to be the most consistently funny segment on the show. The sketches, though, made me cringe at times and in the off-chance that one exceeded my progressively lowering of expectations, my reaction was typically something like this - "Eh, that wasn't awful." Yeah, I'm thinking the name of the show should be altered from SNL to SNWILONIS, which stands for Saturday Night Whether It's Live Or Not - It Sucks.

    I liked the episode from May 19, 2012. Mick Jagger was on it and it was kind of cool. I've never seen Mick do stuff like that. Kinda weird seeing him do funny stuff

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check that out. I meant to watch that, but think I was out of town that weekend. I imagine it had to be a tad odd seeing ol' Mick hosting SNL as opposed to just being the musical guest.

    Yeah, it was weird seeing him do that, be host and sing. But he wasn't the only one performing. Arcade Fire was performing with him. They did some old Rolling Stones songs. And I have to say that I like it better when Mick does them with The Stones. Arcade Fire makes them too freaking weird and heavy metal-y. They did the song The Last Time and they played almost so fast that Mick had to keep up and I could not understand him and when they did It's Only Rock and Roll, crap, I could not understand a word Mick said.

    Huh, well, that's kind of strange. I think I too would have preferred to see Mick with The Stones as opposed to Arcade Fire. Perhaps I'll just have to bypass the musical performances of that show and just check out the sketches.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things."

And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
