SNL

For the past few years I've watched SNL week after week, hoping it'd get as funny as it used to be a long time ago, like back when I was in high school. Finally, tonight it happens. Sure it took Steve Martin to host the show, but it was actually laugh out loud funny, and for the right reasons. Funny sketches, funny jokes, funny host who knew what he was doing. Maybe Lorne Michaels will look at tonight's show and realize what the show overall has been missing for a few years. If not, well, I'll keep watching but I can't say I'll enjoy it.

Okay, show's back... but before I leave you I'm going to leave something Steve Martin did on SNL a few years ago. Happy early Valentine's Day all you lovebirds out there...

To My Love
by Steve Martin
Every man needs a woman, and I need you
To lift me when I'm sad,
To comfort me when I'm down,
To clean me when I'm drunk,
To walk beside me when I want to look like I'm not gay,
To walk in front of me when I need someone to act as a human windbreak,
To kiss me when I'm horny,
To massage me when I'm tense ... and/or horny,
To make me horny when I am not horny, and then to watch me fall asleep.

I need you darling
To clean between my toes when they are not clean to my satisfaction,
To pick the nits out of my hair when I have head lice,
To try milk for me when I am not sure of the expiration date,
To be there when I need you to be there,
And to be out of town the rest of the time.

My darling, although it may seem sentimental,
I want to take this moment to tell you I love you,
Because I don't want to lose half my stuff.
And even though you are far away across the ocean,
I always have this (points to ring finger with no ring) to remind me (notices ring's not there) – sorry!
Good night, my love!
