"FORK SPOON!" "knife of you to say"

I'm listening to the Spoon on SNL. I like 'em and their blond Matthew Modine lead singer dude. Or is he the O-face guy? Which reminds me, shouldn't the student section at Oregon organize itself so that after each Duck score they all do a simultaneous "O Face"? Wouldn't that be cool?

It's ten minutes after midnight on Saturday and we still have three legitimate viewing options on television (without even having to resort to "Tommy Boy" on one of those HBO splinter channels). You've got your Cal-ASU game (it's 20-14 Bears at the half) on FSN, your World Series on Fox (6-5 BoSox in the 8th) and your SNL ("Weekend Update" up next).

Why go to sleep?

I haven't seen the show yet, but that chick on "Chuck" looks like what Christine Taylor would be if her mom hadn't smoked and drank coffee during her pregnancy. Like I'd know...

Once a fact-checker, always a fact-checker: On the "Weekend Update" (and this is a repeat, by the way), they just did a joke about Marion Jones. Behind Amy Pohler they showed a photo of Jones and beneath it, "steriods".

Loyal Johntourager Boyko just submitted a new blossary term: U-S-C-ya Season - When you are just past the halfway point in the college football season and you realize that your favorite team -- which was over-hyped from day one -- will not be playing in a decent bowl game.*
