because when you smash a pinata and send candy flying everywhere, it can cause a riot with all the stoners walking around. gummy bears! hungry. i'll be the first to admit, that joke wasn't funny, but it's going to kill on "saturday night live" this weekend! woo! there we are. such pale arms. thanks sunscreen. topic number three -- this isn't normally a part of the show where we discuss national security issues but sometime there's an item of such dire consequence that we have no choice but to work it in like oil during hot massage. we have just learned that the ukrainian government banned steven seagal from entering their country. the ukrainian secret service released a memo they typed on their commodore 64 saying siegel is blacklisted because of relationship with vladimir putin, that makes him a national security threat. if that's not bad enough, the two have been bonding for years over love of mixed martial arts and shared macho image. here they are sharing a unicorn frappuccino. who could forget the time they flew to spring break together on united. somebody needs to call peta because w

[applause] and in one of his graduate seminars i was in, we read the manuscript of his book does published in 1988, 87, which is a monumental book. after that point they would've never imagined imagined i could ever write a book like that. but as we talked about it over the semester any kind of lead us through how he did it over a couple of weeks, i started to think i could do something like that. i started to imagine, which of course is the biggest hurdle to overcome in a work like this. but that inspired me. i decided that sunday i wanted to write a book like eric's restructuring the period i eventually came up with the idea of doing something on your immigrant. usually when i would tell people my idea, they would mostly look at me like i was crazy. nobody could turn them into a narrative. it's not possible. in 1995, and that bruce nichols who is here who edited the book. he said that is a great idea. he said when are you going to start on it? i said i'm not ready to write that book
