It was. I always think of 'Kirk' (Belushi, i think? been a while since i saw it) pontificating his captain's log even as the sets are being taken down.

Belushi as Kirk turned in one of his best, most controlled, performances.

I've never been a Belushi fan. He was just too loud and chaotic for my tastes.
My favorite original SNL cast member was always Jane Curtin. She did that deadpan sarcasm so well.

The comedy shows in the Philippines are generally so terrible that I've come to appreciate SNL much more.

I've never been a Belushi fan. He was just too loud and chaotic for my tastes. I feel the same way, but I think that "Captain Kirk" performance was the exception. My favorite original SNL cast member was always Jane Curtin. She did that deadpan sarcasm so well. I like her, but I think Laraine Newman was underrated -- it's a shame she never had a "breakout" character or skit.

I liked her as well. I also liked Gilda Radner. Without its three female cast members, the original SNL would have gone nowhere.

I was pretty surprised to see that Eddie Murphy and Will Ferrell both had stints on SNL. More by Eddie Murphy, whose recent movies have been pretty bad.

Lots of people have been on SNL at one time or another, some good, some not. Billy Crystal was probably my favorite of the non-original cast. But the late 80s-early 90s had some really good people too.

Billy Crystal used to be great, but these days the funniest thing about him is that face-lifts have left him looking like Speedee, the talking hamburger and original McDonalds mascot.

I'd rather complain about the food.

After years of trying to avoid it, I don't find fast food tasty anymore.

Neither do I. On the very rare occasions that I get a sandwich and fries at a fast food place (and if I do, it's Jack in the Box or Whataburger and then a chicken sandwich), I immediately realize why I generally avoid them.

I swore off Jack In The Box late last year, after they effed up my order one time too many. mr_cleome can still go there if he wants. I just won't go with him.

I do enjoy a spicy chicken sandwich from Chik Fil A every now and then but that's about it.

I will eat lousy food from time to time, but it has to be my kind of lousy. Never forget my ketchup!

A Philippine fastfood chain, Jollibee, recently made the headlines after a transition to a new IT system messed up its supply chain. Several popular items, including the Chicken Joy (fried chicken), weren't being distributed properly to stores. I heard that another subsidiary, Chowking, also had similar problems.

I remember when a Jollibee opened up here in Houston. My Filipino friends went crazy. I really should check it out sometime.

Brace yourself, though. The spaghetti is really sweet (typical Filipino spaghetti can include sugar and condensed milk!), and so is the ketchup.
The chicken is gooooooooood, though.

I remember seeing that Jolibee. I had never heard of the chain.
And, yes, BraJa and I have figured out that we live very near each other and go to the same comic book store.

Meet up! Meet up! Meet up!
The main reason Jollibee expanded into the USA is because so many Filipinos are there. A lot of us have fond memories of eating there every Sunday as a special treat.

They're called pansit palabok over here. No feast or holiday or party is complete without them. And thanks, they are tasty!
