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.
