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

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
