   	Ah!  All right, then.  Handy ... wait, XM radio is on DirectTV?   
   I'll have to figure out if my parents have that set up.   
      
   	What I'd really like is to run this against the closed captioning   
   since that so often gives useful clarification of things I can't make out,   
   but this TV can't have closed captioning turned on and off except with the   
   lost remote, and Mom has given orders that it's not to be left on anyway.   
      
      
   >Special bonus HD tidbit:  The writing on Conan's mug includes "CHOP,"   
   >"SHELLO," and "SLEEP IS (something)," or perhaps "SLEEP 15 (something)."   
      
   	Curious ... well, the mug is supposed to be of various Conanish   
   catchphrases of the early 90s.  It might be interesting to run that   
   against a list of inexplicable Simpsons riffs from that era.
