Dear Sister - SNL Digital Short

Saturday Night Live has slowly but steadily gotten really lame over the past 10 years. We TiVo SNL and then end up watching the entire hour-and-a-half show in about 30 minutes after fast-forwarding through sucky skits.

Last season however, there was a something very funny on SNL. A digital short called "Dear Sister".

If you haven't seen "Dear Sister", here is the(link).

Do you like Alt-Country music?

Country-Rock started way back in the 60's.

Turnipblog readers know that I love the year of my birth, 1969.

That is also the year the Flying Burrito Brothers released the great country/rock album Guilded Palace of Sin.

Here is the video for Christine's Tune.

The dude on the left with the pot leaf on his suit is none other than Gram Parsons, widely regarded as the first Country/Rock star.

Water at Eb's

Welcome to "Today's Kids Got It Easy", where I discuss how much easier my kids have it than I did growing up in the 70's and 8o's.

Yesterday, my 8 year old daughter was telling me that one of her friends was going to get a refrigerator like ours.

"What do you mean 'Like Ours'?", I asked.

"With water.", she replied.

"They have to drink water out of the sink." she added, shaking her head in disgust.

I suddenly had a flashback to the 80's, Barmount drive in Whitehall subdivision...

Pick-up football in Eb Eager's back yard.

"Look out for the trampoline!"

It is hot, we are sweatty. My brown toughskins are sticking to my legs.

There is a break in the action.

Eb goes inside and I ask to use the bathroom and follow.

As I exit the bathroom and am walking towards the sliding glass door, I see Eb, in the kitchen, pouring a tall glass of Kool-Aid, with his mom standing close by.

"Can I have some?" I ask.

"There is'nt enough for everyone, there is a hose outside." Replies Eb.

We always had to drink from the outside garden hose at Eb's

These brats of today wouldn't have lasted 10 yards

or 2 completions

at Eb's.
