No wonder Uncle Bob hasn't visited lately!  I wonder if I pay the $20 he can give me him back.

Now I have seen everything....

The funny thing is that you know there are people out there that are stupid enough to actually buy one!

I think I've just about seen everything now, so what happens when you get to the end of the Internet?

The really funny thing is that some people will buy them, open them up, then thier imagination and other things will run rampent.  Leading to calls to paranormal groups.

Good one, Glenn. You beat me to the "Pet Rock" analogy!  ;D Of course you realize that we are the only people old enough on the forums to have actually owned a Pet Rock. I think I bought mine at Food Basket.  :)

I was wondering just what kind of "ghost" is in the bottle... is it similar to the "ghosts" that some people leave behind on the elevator when they leave? A vaporous anomaly? Know what I mean?  :P  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkcOy3HOqbM

Okay...I admit it already!  I had a pet rock!  The guy who thought up the whole thing is probably sitting in his living room right now in his mansion in Hawaii, just laughing is arse off at how rich he is and stupid we were.  No matter though....I liked my pet rock.

Ahhh for the good old days of Saturday Night live.  I'm old enough to remember pet rocks, but never owned one.  I do remember all those old Sat Night live skits though.

Here's a piece of (que up dramatic music...) "USELESS SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE TRIVIA"

Was Steve Martin an actual Cast Member of the show?





















a. No, he just holds the record for hosting the most amount of episides. Mr. Baldwin is catching up and may have even tied by now.








AND THAT'S YOUR "USELESS SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE TRIVIA"!

ttjoon

Nope.  He was never an official member of the show.  I believe he hosted it a total of 14 or 15 times though.

More SNL Trivia:

What legendary musical group were supposed to perform, but a television writers' strike caused this episode and the rest of the season to be canceled?

Ah....the good old times. Simpler times. Before we knew what a Wii, DS, Webkins or Q-20 was.  (I can hear my parents voices echoing in my head..."Well, you know, we could have fun with a stick and a rock.  That's when kids actually played outside") Jeez.

Annyywwaaayy....anybody care to take another stab at my SNL trivia?  Come on.  I dare ya.....

*Hint: Think 1970's writer's strike.....
