This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

Yeah SNL has never really been diverse, but despite this Keenan has never really been funny. He just TALKS like THIS and its SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY. *stares at camera*
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)

He wasn't very good when he was nine years old on Nickelodeon. He's just hung around, I guess.
- Derrick
I miss Tracy Morgan and Maya Rudolph. I admit Tracy is better on 30 Rock than he was on SNL though.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
Derrick - He did the same thing he does now. Looks at the camera and makes funny faces.
- Bryan Lee
@Haggis I agree... 30Rock is a better show, in general... I wonder why that is?
- T. Brent, technopeasant
Sketch and improv comedy is a lot different that sitcoms. Tina Fey and the writers of 30 Rock come from the same backgrounds, but they have weeks to write the scripts. SNL is collaborative writing between many different writers and comedians and they have 4 days to come up with it.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
Question is does he have any other characters he has tried to do but not allowed..
- Santa CW™
I would much rather watch Raven Symone make funny faces. What? Black comedians aren't interchangeable?
- EricaJoy
@Haggis... if that were true, then any show with the time to prepare would be funny, but they're not. It seems to be a strange alchemy that makes 30Rock work so well. I watched, on the Season 1 or 2 DVD, the cast do a stage version at a small theatre during the writer's strike. You could see their improv roots shine through. It was brilliant.
- T. Brent, technopeasant
Brent, were you watching the same episodes I was? The only thing funny about the Eddie Murphy SNL seasons was Eddie Murphy. Joe Piscipo? Sorry, no. Even poor Julia Louis-Dreyfus was terrible during that time.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
huh? mister robinson's neighbourhood? stevie wonder? that Black History minute bit about the peanut? nah... it was edgy stuff
- T. Brent, technopeasant
You just named all Eddie Murphy sketches. I dare you to name one sketch from that season that didn't star Eddie Murphy.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
the entry also says that, in order to save the show from cancellation, Dick Ebersol was brought in to produce, and that he made no secret that for him, Murphy and Piscopo were the stars, and the rest of the cast were bit players... I wonder if a similar decision has been made now?
- T. Brent, technopeasant
Nah Lorne Michaels has been producing since before the Dana Carvey/Phil Hartman season and really encourages actors and writers working together. Nobody is the "star."
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
well, the wiki entry says otherwise, but it contains 'weasel words' and 'needs verification'... apparently it's verifiably true, though, that lorne michaels left the show from 1980-1985, roughly the murphy-piscopo years... he returned in 1985
- T. Brent, technopeasant

I had read and heard a lot about Honey1 BBQ and it turned out to be sort of on the way. So off we went. The smoke hit us a full block and a half from the joint. That shouldn't have surprised us because Honey1's slogan is "Real Smoke...And No Joke." From the sidewalk I saw the rectangular smoker that looked like, yes, an aquarium.
- Derrick
That sounds gooood! Generally over here anything BBQ goes into baps, probably just so we can enjoy the double entendres.
- Toby Graham
Looks very tasty, but my inner BBQ snob is going to rear its ugly head: chopped and pulled BBQ ought to be served with sauce on the side so you can taste the meat first. Sauce hides a lot of mediocre BBQ...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
+1 Tina. Sometimes you don't need the sauce at all. Then...there are the other times.
- CAJ, somewhere else
LOL @ Tina. I have made my peace with the fact that different regions do their BBQ different ways. What are you gonna do? C'est la vie.
- Derrick
In a perfect world, Derrick, I would travel the country as a BBQ connoisseur. Maybe Travel Channel would give me a show!!
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
To me, barbeque ain't barbeque without the sauce on the meat. When we lived in North Carolina I was so confused when we were served bbq pork with no sauce. When we asked for the sauce we were given Tobasco. I felt so cheated.
- Chrimmus Tad
*signs up as Tina's traveling BBQ assistant*
- Derrick
Damn Derrick. That looks SOOOO good. Sigh. There's no where around here with good bbq.
- Chrimmus Tad
Tad, most places here serve sauce (many MANY kinds, actually) but the meat itself is served plain so you can taste it first. Then you make it up the way you want it with sweet sauce, mustard sauce, vinegar-y sauce, etc. There's even several places that make Cheerwine BBQ sauce. And Derrick, it would be a privilege to travel the US with you gorging on BBQ. MAKE IT SO!
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Damn you Derrick! Always posting the tasty treats. Thankfully I've got left over BBQ from yesterday to ease hunger.
- Give 'Em DBizness
I had that same confusion Tad when I lived in Tennessee. Thankfully we live near St. Louis and Kansas City now. They eat BBQ properly up here...WITH SAUCE!
- Give 'Em DBizness
I'm getting a proper BBQ lesson today! Then again the weather in the UK is hardly conducive to BBQs.
- Toby Graham
Toby it depends on the type of meat being cooked, which means it depends on what area of the US you're in. In my area BBQ means slow smoked pork butts (which are actually shoulders) which might be slightly salted in advance but is otherwise unseasoned. In other parts of the US BBQ = ribs, or beef brisket, or chicken which might be dry rubbed, marinated, or sauced depending on the culture making them. That's the great thing about BBQ, the variations are pretty much limitless! And now I want some too...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Very interesting. It's a shame those pesky Aussies are currently getting their much needed beauty sleep, they know a thing or two about the old barbeque

Becca: it took me 9 1/4 years from the time I first set foot on US soil (as a student on a F-1 visa) until I got my US citizenship. It was a long process but not very difficult in my case: work visa (H-1B) after I graduated and got a job offer from Oracle, then they applied for my green card (thankfully before 9/11). Once I got my permanent residency (green card), all I had to do was wait for 5 years (the law requires you to be a permanent resident for 5 years before being eligible for citizenship).

Wow, yeah, never thought of this before, but how do you stabilize a camera on a boat, especially at night? I suppose, with the blazing light of the shuttle, you would be using a high shutter speed, no?
- Adrian
Thanks Anika and i hope you and the kids get to see an actual launch there are only a few left and this one was the last night launch. Adrian, the long exposure i wanted to get was impossible. it would have been amazing too, there was a big black cloud above the pad the whole time. so yeah i settled on a range of exposures and guessed what it might look like with the rockets ablaze. again very difficult to shoot and with the boat moving the whole time i had to rely heavily on the built in IS.
- Carlos Ayala

The last night launch? *cries* I've been looking forward to seeing a night launch like all my life.
