The Sinatra Group

A reminder of how great "Saturday Night Live" can be. From the 1990-91 season, here's Phil Hartman as Frank Sinatra doing a roundtable show a la "The McLaughlin Group."

To this day, I don't understand why Hartman's taunt to Sting (as Billy Idol) -- "I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool" -- didn't become a national catchphrase. Look for the always underrated Jan Hooks as Sinead O'Connor, Chris Rock as Luther Campbell, Victoria Jackson as Eydie Gorme, and Mike Myers as Steve Lawrence...

One of my all time favourites, I have it on my laptop at work and show it to the masses at every opportunity. This made me a fan of Hartman's Frank over Piscopo's Frank...

I have taken up the crusade to make, "I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool" as a catchphrase. I'm at my local bread co and this guys says, hey you need a number to which I reply "I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool". To which he says- "you are what you eat" He fails to understand my point when I quote Dennis Leary, Yeah I'm an A__hole. This is going to be harder than I thought.

Yea, my dad used to shout the phrase "I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool" - ALL THE TIME.
