Quick Hits Vol. 2: Grrrrrr…
- So this was supposed to be a JM Endorses post devoted to SNL. Then WordPress lost my post, the first time that this has happened to me, despite horror stories I’ve heard from others. It was weak enough that I actually went back to subtitle it “An embarassingly shallow and detail-free critique”. I can’t summon the energy to recreate it. Suffice it to say that I think SNL is getting good again and that you should check it out. Need a reason? How about the line, “Bobby McFerrin raped my grandmother.” I’m praying this becomes a new catch-phrase.
- As long as I’m in bitching mode*, how does the auto-service industry get away with charging $82.00/hr? If I’m paying that much I should be getting a “happy ending” with my service. And thanks, Mr. Grease-Monkey, I’ll pass on that in this instance.
- How much crap would Rex Grossman get if he were named Rex Manning? He demonstratively outplayed Eli last night, but somehow all we heard about were Rexy’s recent struggles. I say f the Mannings.
- What, exactly, is the point of a national holiday on a Saturday?
- Does anyone else have extended conversations with their 25 yr old friends about kitchen appliances and place settings? Is it similarly incongruous that I bought this same friend** a Nintendo (original) game for his birthday?
- My holiday spirit is kicking in a little early this year. I haven’t whipped out the Christmas music yet or anything (I can wait till after Thanksgiving, usually) but I’m definitely ready. However, my Christmas gifting ideas are severly lacking this year and I’ve been supremely unsuccessful in just my everyday shopping lately. I guess it’s a good thing I’m brimming with enthusiasm, huh?
*Despite the fact that some people seem to be directing a little too much of their internet writings to incensed ravings about pretty minor things. You know who you are. And you also know that I love you! ; )
**Roommate if you were wondering, who has made previous appearances on this website.

That SNL w/ Alec Baldwin and Christina was really good. You have to check out 30 Rock w/ him and TIna Fey and Brian Fellows (Tracy Morgan). It’s my new favorite show!

Geez, that whiny bitchy person sounds like a real chode. Hate to meet him.
on 2nd note, I’m not sure you pointed out or were aware that REX MANNING was the name of the guy in EMPIRE RECORDS! As in, “Oh Rexy, you’re so sexy.” Which, although I thought was a movie everyone had seen, no one ever gets when I use that line about Rex Grossman. They all just look at me like a perv. Must be losers like that one guy you were talking about. I bet he owes you money too.

dude that above dude sounds like a real ass.
ANYWAY, this has nothing to do with your post at all, but just incase Megan, Shayne, or Jake happen by, I wanted to point out that I got a search term that sent someone over to me of “KEITH LUHMANN”. NO SHIT! So, naturally, I googled him. Apparently he’s in some shitty band. Or the marines…hard to tell since my server blocks myspace. Anyway. Chew on that!
