one of my favorite freshman moments.

A hallmate and I were finished a few days early and were kicking around the dorm until everyone else finished. One night some people across the hall were studying and repeatedly kept barking at us for making too much noise in our lounge around 8-9pm. So we started lobbing peanuts at them across the atrium. They responded by closing the shutters to their lounge. My hallmate ended the fight by filling up a giant water balloon and shotputting it into the shutters whereupon it shattered and soaked them all and their notes.

and he just seems made for a talk show.

He was at his peak on Weekend update and at his worst trying to headline a scripted comedy.

Yeah

Every time I’ve seen him operate without a script he’s been quite entertaining. But he’s never going to get a show at NBC so…

Basically, one of the NBC executives decided he "wasn't funny"

And demanded he be removed from the Weekend Update sketch. Which pissed Norm off, so he left the show.

Nope, NBC suit was friends with OJ

Norm was fired because of too many OJ jokes. The exec didn’t understand the dry humor and was annoyed that the studio audience didn’t guffaw at everyone of his jokes—whoosh.

It’s funny because Norm was the most popular guy ever to do that segment since the originals.

I thought it was because of the OJ jokes

Which pissed of Lorne Michaels, who fired him.

Unfortunately

Not enough people get Norm McDonald’s humor.

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of it no matter what they call it

I go to the game to watch the game, pisses me off when my friends want to go out there, especially if we have quality seats.

Well these days I wouldn't waste my money

the one time I did enjoy the beer garden was for a company function…the DRays shut out the M’s 1-0…Jamie Moyer pitched a complete game, but we were all so loaded that when we asked if we could go out to smoke and come back in the usher was like “the game’s over….” We looked out and sure enough there was no one on the field.
