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).

Guilded Palace of Sin

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.

I am a big fan of Glam Rock.

Glam represents everything that was great about the 70's.

Little Kids love it.

Why Do I Like This?

I really don't know.

Milk Slurping

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.

When I was a kid I loved sugary breakfast cereal.

My kids love cereal also.

When I was a kid, after I had eaten all of my cereal (and then all of the marshmellows if it was Lucky Charms or a Monster cereal), I was always left with a half a bowl of sugary milk.

There is no way I was going to throw away all that good sugary milk, so I had to pick up the bowl, place my lips on the edge, tip up the bowl, and try to drink the sugary milk from the bowl.

Very awkward and messy.

Not today's kids.

These lazy little brats don't have to lift the bowl and never have sugar milk running down their neck.

1969 - Mahna Mahna

I was born in 1969.

I like to showcase 1969 on Turnipblog.

You may remember Mahna Mahna as the first ever segment on The Muppet Show, which debuted in 1976.

But, Mahna Mahna first appeared on Sesame Street and The Ed Sullivan show in 1969.

Best Album Contest

I love discovering new music.

I want Turnipblog readers to leave a comment telling me about the best music album or cd (whatever you want to call it) that you think I have never heard.

I will download the albums and write a review.

Whoever suggested the best album will win, something.

If you suggest an album that I have already heard - You lose.

Had to try it.

Have you ever walked into a store intending to purchase something, but then you saw something else that looked so good that you just had to try it?

Sometimes the opposite happens to me.

By that, I mean that sometimes I am in a store and see a product that looks so bad, that I can't resist trying it to see if it really is as awful as it looks.

Check out my latest impulse buy. When I saw it I thought, "It can't possibly be as bad as it looks

It is!

Crockpot Pork and Gravy

Super Easy! Super Good!

1. In the morning put a 1 to 3 lbs pork loin in the crock pot.

2. In a bowl, mix together a can of cream of mushroom soup, a can of golden mushroom soup, and a can of french onion soup.

3. Pour soups over pork.

4. Cook on low till ready to eat (meat will be tender, soups will make a yummy gravy).

5. Make some mashed potatoes (we use instant which takes about ten minutes)

6. Put mashed potatoes and some pork on each plate, top with gravy.
