I think if Greece can survive the last 3,000 years, it will make it through the Euro Bonehead Fiscal Crisis Du Jour. With any luck they'll go back to the drachma. When they went over to Euros everything got MUCH pricier.

Stupid Euro.

I dont know of many people who live in Europe who are happy with the Euro and how the prices got jacked way up because of it.

Exactly. The current show does have its moments.

We have a gorgeous free place to stay, but three coach tickets, a rental car and this and that make it a $6K trip. Hell, the airfares alone are about $4K. Flying to Greece is like flying to friggin Hawaii. Too pricey.

charter a flight with room for a fleet of bikes. Start off in LA, stop over in chicago, detour to toronto, bypass ny..straight on to athens.

What about McGhee Tyson Airport?

I don't know how the 41 gets the reputation for being a Fredly place. I really don't.

Predictably, inevitably, you utterly miss the point. SNL has always been the same. Some of the sketches the current cast has done in the past few years are among the funnier segments I've ever seen on the show.

It's always a mixed bag. It's always fun to watch. It's unique. Nothing else like it on TV.

I'm sorry, but as an outsider (spectator/consumer) your opinion has little merit. On the other hand, me being a virtual insider, my opinion has gravitas. Fact is, some casts/writers gel better than others. The D!ck in a Box bit? Done by faceless nobody's.

You're an SNL addict, so it won't matter the quality, so long as you get your fix.

I'm not judging you. You are what you are, God help us.

I have no idea what any of this means. I'd say that the fact that the show has never been canceled speaks for itself.

Reminds me of the alleged Metrigear power meter.

How's that going?

Lucky for Greece. If they still had a sovereign currency they could have handled the current crisis differently. It still would have been difficult, but maybe no riots.

that's the only help you are going to give to the Greek economy? drink lots of ouzo whilst there.
