      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu               Conan in Chicago! This was my first experience with the       Chicago episodes. My goodness but that's a *huge* auditorium.                     Conologue:        - Land of milk and honey, covered with batter and cheese.        Sounds good.                - Pretty standard set of loalization jokes. I was       expecting after praising Chicago as a sports town that Conan       would mention it needing teams, which is something Conan could       get away with saying because, hey, Red Sox fan. Yeah, I know       they 'won' in 2004, but that just means they're up for a repeat       in 2088.               - I like showing off the worst seat in the house.                - Boy, Chicagoans are way too into the Masturbating Bear.                      Looking through the town:        - I was expecting Andy Richter as tour guide. The       introduction to the audio made it sound like we were hearing the       studio speakers; it was very echoy.                - Mister T's funny going down the slide. I liked seeing       them playing at being White Sox; funny having the tower broken.                - Mister T was dressed as Dennis the Menace. He's also a       little scary when he just starts aimlessly rambling about his       philosophy of life and all that.                - Finding Mister T's bit in The Blues Brothers:       Excellent.                     Late Night Chicago Small Talk Moment:        - Shameless kissing up to the crowd, but successful at       that.                      Wheel of Wendt:        - Good challenges, but there's always the bit of       suspicion that there's a motor picking the item on a wheel like       that. That it rolled to a stop with the 'DO ONE PUSHUP' neatly       level doesn't disperse suspicions.                       Joel Godard after Film Locations:        - Yes, I liked it. It was stupid, but I liked it.                     Sean Hayes:        - Fancy entrance. That gear worries me.                - He was having a good time talking about playing the       keyboard, although it didn't hold my attention. Talking about       grilling and picnics was more fun, though.                - Making a spinoff of a show he wasn't in, nice concept,       but it turned into talk show host boilerplate.                      Cheap Trick:        Not my speed. I couldn't make out any of the song.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
