Two things worth noting since last time - my sketch idea submitted for the Nov. 19th SNL, "Talking Dirty Cups On A Dirty Kitchen Counter At Thanksgiving Time":

and my sketch idea submitted for the Dec. 3rd SNL, "Dostoyevsky's 'A Christmas Carol'":

Those who saw (or will see) the Nov. 19th show will notice in their opening sketch the idea of Romney cleaning a teacup was used to represent the opposite of a sleazy type; in my sketch, a dirty cup is used to represent a sleazy type. This fact, combined with SNL's ongoing references (for years and years) to material I submit for that week's show, says a mouthful (not just a sipful). In the neither-here-nor-there dept., there were other possible references on that show. A sketch about a mattress ended with the image of a glass of wine, it NOT spilling being the essential meaning of the image - my sketch has a cup bemoaning that his new crack will result in liquid spilling from him. Another sketch took place in a bar called "The Empty Glass" - if seen in the context I describe, it is related. And finally, in my previous blog, I state (in a discussion relating to SNL) that crude is often regarded as a surefire approach (that blog is not yet copyrighted, so if you didn't read it before the show, you might admittedly consider it had been written any time, though it was not). This idea was central to their opening Romney sketch, wherein he wishes to compete with the edgier personalities of Cain and Perry by appearing more crude than he is.
Those unfamiliar with the degree of my impact on SNL may have difficulty accepting the idea that I should have had so powerful an effect on that show.
COMING SOON:
Something for Christopher Walken and Steven Spielberg fans, or not, depending on your point of view.

Lawrence of Wherever
From The Ridiculous
SNL (secret code language for Saturday Night Live) has, for the millionth show in the past million years, made some kind of inside reference to material I provided for that show, specifically, something I (officially) posted to www.archive.org on Monday, Oct. 31st, 12:39am Greenwich Mean Time (Sunday, Oct. 30th in California): "We Do That Too".
"We Do That Too" is my comedy idea specifically meant for the Nov. 5th SNL. Throughout the bit, the action of wetting oneself flows through it like a beautiful river (as the prejudiced author, I may have waxed a little too poetic in my description, but the essential thing makes it through: wetting oneself is the predominant action of the bit).
The Nov. 5th SNL included a bit all about pooping oneself (the Dr. Oz takeoff where the person who poops himself is the focus of a magnificent demonstration that one can't forget, though perhaps someday I can charge people to read "We Do That Too" as a possible remedy that might assist one in forgetting to some degree anyway, but I digress).
So in conclusion, while people have been pooping and wetting themselves ever since they first began wearing animal skins (not that there are any cave paintings where they admit it, but what do you expect), and also making references to same ever since as well, this is not the proper context in which to scrutinize what has occurred here. Here we have the upteenth example of me submitting a comedy sketch idea for that week's SNL, and them taking something from it.
I would just like to add that the core of my idea was not used. My idea includes a concept in addition to the.... other stuff. I was going for how big business will try to co-opt a true group spirit (Occupy Wall Street) by latching onto something irrelevant they have in common with the movement and running with it. I do not normally go for the crude (though it is for many a surefire approach), but in this case, wetting oneself struck me as the obvious common ground for co-opters to exploit. In the '60s, we saw people grow their hair long without having any true belief in the spirit of freedom it connoted at the time, ultimately co-opting real change. So I say, beware the..... beware the..... perhaps you should read "We Do That Too" for yourself.
To The Not Ridiculous Enough (But Close)
When it came to the Nov. 12th SNL, I offered my comedy sketch idea, "It'll Shake Your Head". I posted this one to www.archive.org on Tuesday, Nov. 8th, 4:30am Greenwich Mean Time (or Monday, Nov. 7th California time).
SNL did an incredibly minor reference to it on their Nov. 12th show, would not begin to count as a reference, if not for the aforedescribed context that has developed over the years, as well as a shorthand.
Specifically, "It'll Shake Your Head" is about a Glen Beck-type named Larry, The Geologist of the Mind, who explains all things political with a crazy concept having to do with invisible Tectonic Plates in the sky that act on the human mind.
The Nov. 12th SNL had a game show sketch in which the characters had to guess the secret word without the person prompting them saying it. Kristin Wiig said the name, "Scientist Kate". It was not a secret, so it was okay for her to say, "Scientist Kate". Had she said, "Larry, The Geologist Of The Mind", that would have been a different matter - so, "Scientist Kate" in, "Larry, The Geologist Of The Mind" out.
An additional thing, though I attach little to it, was their opening, wherein Rick Perry is shot in the head but the bullet bounces off. This could be said to bring to mind the idea of having rocks in one's head, or a plate in one's head. If this did bring such a thought to mind, well, rock's in one's head, geologist of the mind, plate in one's head, Tectonic plate affecting our minds.... who knows what was going on inside their heads!
And now it gets scary. Glen Beck was looking at me contemplatively in traffic several weeks ago. So then, on the night of Nov. 8th on his show, Glen Beck guts a fish named Larry as part of a symbolic attack on mainstream media. I don't enjoy watching people defecate, and so never watch the Glen Beck Show, but apparently this was noteworthy enough to rate a Huffington Post article. I did a little further research, and found that the last posting on YouTube of Beck and his Larry the Fish was 2.5 years ago, in March 2009. So Larry the Fish returns after over two years in order to appear within less than a day of the appearance of the Beck-like Larry, The Geologist Of The Mind. A character created by me (a secret perpetual influence on the often political SNL) prompting a reaction from Glen Beck. Nope, wouldn't be at all surprised to find this is the Republicans remembering my influence on SNL when the 2008 election was getting into full swing.
In Other News
There's been other stuff worthy of mention, however, I don't really have the energy (did I mention I still don't have a 9-5 that takes into account my solemn duties as one of the most secretly influential people in the world at a time in history when that could make a real difference, and so my energy gets sapped by non-solemn duties? still waiting for Spielberg, McCartney, or somebody to call and tell me I can officially be seated upon my throne....).
I originally was inspired with the Tectonic Plates concept in "It'll Shake Your Head" as something for an animation of some kind. I saw it as containing huge possibilities. Now I see Glen Beck gutting a fish, and somehow, that messes with the whole thing (hopefully I'm mistaken). I mention this so that Spielberg or McCartney will feel compelled to call before another fish pays the price!
