Virgania Horsen's Hot Air Balloon Rides

· I can't speak for the other Defamers, but the thing that I missed most during the strike was the absence of SNL. This weekend's episode was a fine return to form (especially in the ratings department), but this faux commercial starring Kristen Wiig stood out to this observer as the evening's best moment. See ya later, suckers! [NBC]
· The proprietor of this Tumblr describes it best: "Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?" Certainly not us! But lo and behold, tis true. [Garfield Minus Garfield]
· Our amigos over at CC2K got their hands on the Iron Man script. [CC2K]
· In Contention takes a look at the Top Ten Shots of 2007 in this fantastic, two-part post. Click here for Part One and here for Part Two. [In Contention]
· Not even Paul Haggis, screenwriter of the 22nd James Bond film, has any clue what Quantum Of Solace is supposed to mean. [MTV Movies Blog]

Besides loving Penelope and the Target Lady, I almost pissed myself when Kristen Wiig presented Brian Williams with the Publishers Clearinghouse Prize. She rules.

Since this is a spy flick, "Quantum of Solace" is written in code. It is actually the anagram of the true story's title, "Quote of Anal Scum."

It's "Virgania"! (I only correct because I must honor everything Kristen Wiig does.)

i was quite a fan of the lady business skit, and kristen had the best line in that one: "i'm a bitch in the boardroom, a boar in the bedroom, and i'm a bear on the toilet."

I really loved the "I drink your milkshake" sketch from SNL. Briliant. Especially the song.

I enjoyed a lot of last week's SNL, but maybe the funniest part was the real ad from the network; "Comedy is returning to Thursdays" in five weeks.

Too bad this aired right before the end credits. Most people are done after weekend update apparently.

@ltflux: that lady business kit was fantastic.

And to all the Wiig SNL fans out there - you look like a rabbit.

@mlc: You are right it was "Virgania" - not to be confused with "Virginica" from the Hoochie Pop skits.
