   	Again in Chicago.  Did you hear the novel orchestration   
   of the intro?   
      
   Conologue:   
   	- There's better ways to go from the start with the   
   embezzlement from McDonald's.   
      
   	- Yes, joke about delays with United leaving O'Hare.   
   I've spent more time on the O'Hare runway *waiting* to start   
   flying to Newark than I have spent flying from O'Hare to Newark.   
      
   	- They went out of their way to get the FedEx Pope in.   
      
   	- The Sears Tower Dressed in Sears Clothing: I think   
   they've achieved Doctor Who Menace status with this funny   
   concept.   
      
   	- Happy Happy Show Show clip: Conan hasn't changed a bit.   
    I think they were doing either a badly dubbed monster movie or   
   Popeye the Sailor Man.   
      
   	   
   Jeff and Conan's Old Apartment:   
   	- Hey, they used to live in Mary Tyler Moore's place!   
      
   	- That's a pretty nice-looking apartment, actually; it's   
   a little surprising Conan in his starving artist days had it.   
      
   	- Their old landlord, good catch.  He looks like Ian   
   Shoales, though.  Table read for The Poseidon Adventure?  That's   
   getting to be weird even for joking around.  They carried on to   
   good length, though, reaching Sea Biscuit and penicillin.  I like   
   the Nixon footage.  Notice that according to the off-level plaque   
   the air conditioning didn't work.   
      
   	- So, figure there was an actual body in the Sears Tower   
   in Sears Clothing Body Surfing?   
      
      
   Joel Reenacts Classic Movies:   
   	- I wonder if they used the actual interior for the Home   
   Alone house.  It wouldn't really be needed for it, but the owner   
   probably gets asked a fair amount anyway.   
      
      
   Late Night Chicago Small Talk Moment:   
   	- Well, it sure sounds like Chicago Small Talk.  I wonder   
   how they got about writing it.  But mass transit is interesting,   
   or maybe I'm just an infrastructure kind of guy.   
      
      
      
   John C Riley:   
   	- I couldn't imagine prancing around just in underwear.   
   I'd have at least shorts on.  But then I wasn't in a place as   
   frighteningly cold as Chicago either.   
      
   	- It's kind of weird to be into pigs, but there's worse   
   things.  There's really no way to return a pig to the zoo, is   
   there, without making clear that you are smuggling a pig into the   
   zoo.   
      
   	- Breaking into 'The Night Chicago Died' ... very   
   pleasing to the audience, but not so much to a fairly tired guy   
   watching this months later.   
      
      
   Polka with Vlasta (sp?), Chicago's International Queen of Polka.   
   	- This was engagingly weird enough without Conan prancing   
   about.  Where is that woman from?  Does it make sense in Chicago?   
    And why was she wearing a fusion of Dot and Little Lotta's   
   outfits?   
      
   	It's very hard to escape the feel of the Schmenge   
   Brothers, though.   
      
      
   John Mayer   
   	- Sweep Home Chicago.  This is more my speed of music,   
   and I could listen to it all night.  The interview-on-site looked   
   more awkward than I think Conan meant for the closer.  I could   
   empathize with geting put to fifth clarinet, though ...   
      
      
   Closing   
   	- Conan Beach balls seem like a lot of silly fun.
