      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu               Yeah, it's a rerun, and from about when I was home in June,       but not one I have on file. I think it may have been the night I flew       out to San Francisco. In any case I believe I've now caught up with       all the Late Night shows that my parents' Tivo grabbed (it refused a       few nights; don't ask me why), and now can settle down to one show a       night.                     Conologue:        - Now what were the Dallas Mavericks supposedly doing in       the NBA championship? Comic relief? I wonder where they got       their footage.               - World Cup: This was big in Singapore.               - North Korea missile to reach the west coast of the       United States, land in California, and open up a nail salon: I       don't get it.                      Walkover Music:        Daydream Believer.                     New State Commemorative Quarters:        - Alabama: Oh, does this have to be white trash jokes       every time?               - West Virginia: Ah, frozen poo. Classy.               - Maryland: They weren't going upscale this time around.               - Nebraska: Routine.               - Florida: *Another* joke on autopilot.               - Louisiana: Wel, at least it's not overdone.               - Arkansas: More autopilot.               - Maine: That's a bit better. Bear helping a moose beat       you.               - Arizona: Gah.               - Idaho: That's better too.               - Missouri: This got funny by the length of the footnote.               - Nevada: Better joke too, but this wasn't a good bunch.                     Adam Sandler:        - Took all the way to his first joke for me to       dislike his routine for tonight. Dragging Chilly Willy into it       didn't really work, but highlighted his trouble saying       anesthesiologist. But, well, I don't find Sandler any bit funny,       so all his attempted anecdotes misfired. I also don't find his       endless references to the burden of being thought to be gay funny.                            Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage!        - Years spent thinking about starting a bobblehead       collection? Well, that sounds credible. Buying over sixty?       Good grief. I'm not surprised he's a Betty Boop fan; I am,       myself. I have an aunt who's rather a Betty Boop collector, to       the point of getting into local papers. I'd be a touch annoyed       at Bobble-Heads that didn't bobble heads, and yeah, they ought to       be properly identified. Of course, one might ask whether it's a       good idea to buy without examining them. Great closing       conclusion, though Fibber McGee would have delivered an       alliterative chain better.               - I'm pretty tired of east coast/west coast comparisons.       You?                     John Cena:        - I wouldn't try lifting The Big Show. A genie ... the       heck?               - Actually, I'm kind of impressed by a fair number of pro       wrestling moves. Do you suppose pro wrestling fans treat       sarcastically the people who warn them that they're not *real*       sports matches? ``A big, tall glass of shut-up juice''? Yeah,       that is a pretty good wrestling put-down.               - Dared to drink out of a puddle? That is *so* awful.                            The Subways:        - Was there a line there about ``tawny underwear''? This       was reasonably pleasant-sounding, but it's really far out of my       genres so I don't know if they're good by the standards of their       audience. Interesting decision to sing without opening their       eyes.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
