Your all-time favorite SNL cast member? 9
I'd say Bill Murray or Phil Hartman. But I can watch Chris Farley's motivational speaker "living in a van down by the river" once a month. Still, I have bailed on the show for years at a stretch, so I can't claim a comprehensive recall.
How many times have you seen this?
Do you like it? I do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1vsRezK7v0 And, in case you are wondering, the answer is "live sports." Otherwise, I pretty much dodge commercials.

Fan mail from a local county jail
The incarcerated letter-writer reported that "me and the boys" enjoy The Slice. I'm glad to hear that. It bolsters my long-standing claim that my column appeals to a wide variety of shut-ins.

Agree or disagree
1. Young people loathe sauerkraut. 2. When you are a new patient and someone at a doctor's office is going over your medical history for the first time, there is a temptation to tell your life's story -- not because you are a chatterbox but…

No. 1 album this week in 1984 2
http://americaniconstempele.wordpress.com Ever see The Boss perform? Though I was a bigger fan several years earlier, I saw him twice in December of 1984. Consecutive nights in Memphis.

How old does a person have to be...
...to get it when someone else does the Fred Sanford "I'm coming, Elizabeth" heart-attack routine? Perhaps the potential exposure to reruns makes this impossible to answer with any certainty. http://thetimfletchershow.com
Couldn't this be said of every season?
This is the Sports Illustrated cover dated Sept. 25, 1961. www.heathpost.com Starr was in the only NFL game I ever saw in person. Wonder how many others around here saw him play. This is the game my dad took me to, at Detroit's Tiger Stadium:…
