   Joseph Nebus to All   
   25 January 2007- Uma Thurman, Kevin Smit   
   26 Jan 07 01:40:52   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	This was an episode which originally aired 20 July 2006.  I   
   didn't see it then, but I did see it now.  All things are as they were   
   at 12:35 am Eastern Time, but *you* are *there*, and if not, say   
   something.   
      
      
   Conan's Tie was made by:   
   	- Willie Wonka.   
      
   Conologue:   
   	- Bush was caught giving German leader an unwanted backrub.   
   Missed was Bush giving Vladimir Putin a purple nurple.  Australians are   
   blasting Barry Manilow music to keep teens out of the park; they're   
   attracting 60-year-old women.  The Las Vegas city council made illegal   
   feeding a homeless person; but it's still legal to give all your money   
   to a hooker.  Daniel Baldwin was in a car crash.  The pizza was never   
   delivered.  Kevin Federline is delaying his new album's release.  Now   
   people will have to wait several months to not purchase it.  Paris   
   Hilton sunbathed topless in front of her ten-year-old son; she wanted to   
   keep him in the shade.   
      
      
   Conan discovers the desk microphone works.  He breaks his real mike by   
   stuffing it in his nose.  Jeff Ross hates that.   
      
      
   Conan On The Aisle:   
   	- Superman Returns: Clark Kent breaks his mother's heart,   
   shoulders, and rib cage.   
   	   
   	- An Inconvenient Truth: The trailer's redundant.  Ice cream, TV   
   Guide, Ron Jeremy then and now.   
   	   
   	- Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest.  Why does the   
   movie depart from the original score?  Big Wheel in the Sky Keeps On   
   Turning?   
   	   
   	- The Devil Wears Prada: The producers took the title too   
   literally.  It's not a bad look for him.   
   	   
   	- The Lake House: It may sound stupid, but the time-travelling   
   mail is clearly explained: o/` There's a mailbox, it sends letters   
   through time, she writes a letter and puts it in a mailbox, suddenly   
   it's two years later, he gets that letter and he writes her back, puts   
   his letter in the mailbox, suddenly it's two years eariler.  They keep   
   writing back and forth, two years apart, but still they fall in love   
   through the magic mailbox. o/`   
   	   
   	- Cars: It's a little too adult.  Hero Car is registered.   
   	   
   	   
   Check Your Zipper:   
   	- But how did Brian McCann know?  There's the webcam under   
   Conan's desk.  UnderConan'sDesk.com.  NBC does it for Brian Williams,   
   Stone Phillips, Matt Lauer.  Max is sick that they're all wearing pants.   
    Max's under the drum can gives the full show.  Note that NBC has not,   
   apparently, bought that URL.  Conan's web browser appears to be a Mac   
   from 1998.   
      
   	   
   Uma Thurman:   
   	- Kids get crazy in a heat wave.  Conan's daughter spins.  She's   
   been doing a lot of action movies.  They show a clip from 'My Super   
   Ex-Girlfriend', the movie that takes about a quarter of all the   
   'Superman's Abusive Relationship With His Girlfriend, Lois Lane' comic   
   books and turns it into a movie I heard about a quarter of before the   
   airplane movie system broke.  Conan relates his unsuccessful dating   
   life.  They show another clip with her secret identity.  Everything goes   
   wrong in the conversation.   
      
      
      
   Broadway:   
   	- Frankenstein: The Musical just opened on Broadway.  Our   
   Frankenstein who Wastes a Minute of Our Time has his own show,   
   Frankenstein the Opera.  Wagner, of course.  He doesn't handle lightning   
   well.   
      
      
      
   Kevin Smith:   
   	- He did 88 different jobs for Clerks 2.  He was uncomfortable   
   in Maui as he's a layers kind of guy.  He'd rather wear a shirt in the   
   pool even though he didn't look good with it on.  He was eating a fried   
   chicken sandwich in the pool.  A woman came up to him and asked if he   
   was in Clerks.  She asked about wearing the shirt.  And how he got a   
   fried chicken sandwich.  Conan asks about a mayo syringe.  He goes on   
   the X-Men as metaphor for gaydom idea.  He expected the third would be a   
   Gay Fantasia or a Brokeback Mutant.  It teaches an important lesson,   
   tolerate the people who seem strange, as they may be able to burst into   
   flame and turn you into a muskrat.  He wanted Bryan Singer to do more in   
   Superman with gay robots or the like.   
      
      
   New York Dolls:   
   	- From their third album: I couldn't recognize it at all, but I   
   did like it, which shows how utterly all over the map my musical tastes   
   are.  I could be replaced with a random box offering generic opinions   
   and do as well for the songs here.  Bear in mind, though, I am someone   
   who keeps his CD of The Clash next to his Mommas and the Poppas.
