Announcer: And now, Weekend Update, with Chevy Chase.
Chevy Chase: [ talking into the telephone ] No.. I love it when you make noise. Remember when.. [ notices the audience, hangs up telephone ] Good evening, I'm Chevy Chase, and you're not!
Our top story tonight: Generallissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stated today that he is tired of using his silly accent in public, and will speak in English. This will in no way effect the content of what he has been saying.
SNL Transcripts
That was fun, huh? Ouch, my age is showing.
Chevy Chase was great. Probably still is. ;)
My Weekend Update:
It rained in Dallas. And then it rained some more.
A lot of people had forgotten what rain was and subsequently floated away.
I was not one of them.
I did, however, go out in the rain without an umbrella.
In other news: I went to see The Libertine.
Despite the boyish good looks of actor Johnny Depp, this film was disturbingly...uncomfortable. The movie bordered on an X rating. For Depp fans, this should have been a plus. Unfortunately it was not. Depp bared very little, including any true acting talent. The script ran like a 1970s porn flick against an 1810 background. A little "waka waka" and I might have enjoyed it a bit more.
And finally, our top story: 
The standoff continues between mother and daughter. Daughter clearly has the upper hand but unfortunately does not have the good sense to see the future outcome of her actions. In a grand test of wills, the daughter has filed charges against the mother - "just to spite her". I have attempted to sit patiently and watch this Shakespearean drama unfold but, as usual, I have been sucked into the script. In order to maintan some semblance of sanity, I continue to deny to each party that I have spoken at all to the other party. At the very least, I am not a go-between.
I keep repeating to both, "What a shame the time you're wasting. Which one of you is going to be the bigger person and start this thing downt he right track?"
Mother is up for that. Daughter, not so much.
I pray there is therapy in their futures. I pray I'm not the therapist.
That's it for the Weekend Update.
Chevy Chase: Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Oh I saw Chevy Chase on TV the other day, and he's OLD. Not sure what happened between then and now, but whatever it was, time haven't been nice to him.
Hope your day is a good one :hug:
Haven't seen Chevy Chase in anything in years - such a fruitcake, many a giggle provided by him :-D
As for the other, very sad and chaotic state of affairs - hope things sort themselves out sooner rather than later.
Have a good Monday!
Oh Christa! Say it isn't so!
I used to say "If I could marry any man it would be Chevy Chase or Steve Martin." Character, wealth, humor, not bad looks. Pretty good qualities.
Don't go telling me they went and got old. No. We'll have none of that.
Autunm, many many a good giggle. That whole "original" SNL crew. Did you get to see Saturday Night Live in it's younger days?
As for that chaotic state of affairs, I have managed (somehow) to remain mostly unfazed emotionally. Maybe they both kind of pushed me past the "give a crap" brink. Those two have been drama since the day I met them.
I suppose it will work out one way or another. I just have to keep reminding myself that it isn't my mess to fix. I'm going to let those chips fall where they may.
My favorite Chevy Chase memory... National Lampoons Vacation where he is driving with Christy Brinkley flirting in her red car next to him... making a complete and foolish ass of himself... he does it so convincingly... I laugh and laugh.
Good for you on the continuing drama - keep your boundries intact, watch with caring and concern, but don't give out a big chunk of yourself.
Funny post today :-) - and, btw, although I do like Johnny Depp, I doubt that I'll see the Libertine now.
Great stuff.. .too funny... you rule! JD
ROFL :))
Terry, Please don't see The Libertine. You might rent it...or wait for it to come on cable even. But even then, just out of curiosity. People were walking out of the theater. And they didn't miss anything after they did.
Rupen, I'm thrilled to have brought a grin to your face. :))
Luvwannabefree, I like your handle but we're going to have to get on terms enough to know each other's names. :)
Please keep stopping by. I'll try to add a bit of quality to my rants.
Wonderful page you've got, by the way. Very moving stuff.
