snl and late night

looked up cast, read a bit... while there has not been a cast as good as the first few years (or as good as the second best cast, the murphy-piscopo years), the current cast has a bit of promise... maybe... most of the years since those first two groups have had one or two really funny people, but no ensembles that good have been put together since... the first group made comedy seamless and seem easy... almost every one of them were great, several were brilliant, and they meshed better than any comedy group i recall (except maybe monty python)... the second group was good, but relied heavily on the two leads, murphy and piscopo... there has not been as balanced or as talented a group since the first, especially the women in the cast... over the years, more and more, the comedy became more forced, more desperate... the players were trying way too hard to be funny and begging for laughs is not funny to me... only richard pryor did that well, but that's because that was only one small part of his style... and he was brilliant in other ways...

and what's this? (it's about time)... fallon to take over tonight show in 2014?... i did not get the memo...

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
