   Joseph Nebus to All   
   1 January 2007 -- Adam Sandler, John Cen   
   02 Jan 07 11:59:40   
   
   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.
