SBS 0 #6 August 29, 2008 We had the opportunity to work in the SNL studios one day for a conference. We installed our display on the little platform that they use for the monologues, and it was so cool to stand there and think about the history that is there. The new celebs that go through there are cool enough, but thinking about the old days, and how much history was there was pretty awesome. One of the guys that helped us there had worked there since the very beginning, the very first show. I would just look at him and think about the history and experiences that he had...we remember these things, but he was there when Dan turned and said, "Jane, you ignorant slut." Anyway, long story longer, it was a very cool experience. Nothing will ever compare to those old days of SNL. -S_____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

We somehow got on the subject of the war on drugs, and she said something, so I go "Erin, you ignorant slut…" and was about to start my counterpoint when she went and I had to stop to explain the etymology of it.cavete terrae.

monkycndo 0 #11 August 29, 2008 I don't see how you would know anything about Jane, the ignorant slut, since there is no way you can be over 40. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virgigirlie 0 #12 August 29, 2008 My boyfriend and I have bought each of the first three seasons as they've been released. It's amazing how fast you can get through an entire season of SNL. I can't wait for the next installment. (Christmas?) One of my favorites is Buck Henry finishing a show with a Band-Aid because Belushi actually hit him with the sword during a Samurai sketch.

TheBachelor 5 #15 August 29, 2008 I miss it -- half of the stuff they did couldn't be shown on TV today because of the rampant PC... The sketch that comes to mind has Chevy Chase doing a word association with Richard Pryor as part of a supposed job interview.There are battered women?

riddler 0 #19 July 5, 2013 I recall being part of a conversation involving two other men, quite a bit younger than I that went like this: "Man, I miss the old skits on SNL!" I'm thinking this guy is too young to remember the old ones, so I ask "you mean with John Belushi and Dan Akroyd?" "No, I mean with Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman." Just goes to show what a long-standing tradition that show is.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
