Asheville, North Carolina? That is very cool.
Saturday Night Live has no taste. They lost it years ago.

I didn't see the ISIS skit and you are right, nothing about that monstrous group is funny.

The Happy Whisk said...

I won't watch the skit. Nothing about that is funny.

Nas said...

Sounds fab hotel. I wouldn't watch the isis stuff.

Unknown said...

:( An ISIS skit? That's awful.

Pat Hatt said...

That sounds great indeed. When you have to make fun of ISIS you've hit the bottom of the barrel.

Birgit said...

I did not see the ISIS skit but I watched This Hour has 22 Minutes which is a Canadian comedy show and they also did a skit and I just think it is not the right thing to do. I was thinking the whole times of the families that lost their loved ones in such a horrible way and I don't think they can make fun of this...in time maybe like they do with Hitler but not now

I don't live far away from Asheville, NC. It's a pretty cool city

Linda said...

Hi Alex, Yup NC.
I agree about SN.

Sandra Cox said...

You didn't miss anything. How are you, Gina?

Sandra Cox said...

Good for you, Ivy. And you're right. Nothing about that skit is funny.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Editors:) I think its a great concept, having a couple of adoption animals available at a hotel. I'd think some guests would be interested given all the traffic in and out.

Sandra Cox said...

Yes, it is, Anna.

Sandra Cox said...

Isn't that the truth, Pat?

Sandra Cox said...

I agree, Birgit, I just keep thinking how funny would the creators of that skit think it, if one of their loved ones had been beheaded.

Sandra Cox said...

Us either. We're about 1.5 hr out.
And you are so right. It is a cool city.

Sandra Cox said...

Hope you enjoyed yours, Linda.
