A couple embraces celibacy until they inadvertently discover that neither of them wanted to give up sex in the first place. Geraldo Rivera, searching for sensationalist conspiracies, ransacks a hospital delivery room during a birth. Colonel Khadaffi promotes his new line of designer clothes. A reclusive and deranged poet lives hidden away until an ex-con poet breaks into her house and they start comparing poems. A couple at a dance party explain the 50's have returned for the 80's. During the Weekend Update, Mary Gross reports on location for the landing of the Space Shuttle, fashion critic Yvonne Spike DeMouchier rips the poor fashion choices made by the Best Actress nominees, Joe Piscopo declares Georgetown the NCAA champions based on the attractiveness of the female students, and Brian Doyle-Murray congratulates brother Bill Murray on the birth of his son.
