      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Max is:        - Doing more by doing less. Someday they'll have a whole hour       of cheering, and then be cancelled.                     Conologue:        - Crazy astronaut: he's never heard of a better story in his       life. She was charged with attempted kidnapping and possession of a       loaded diaper. Before the arrest she was apparently stalking the woman       for weeks. She suspected because every time she looked in her rear-view       mirror she saw the space shuttle. Everybody's running for President.       Candidates have to get hot at the right time; Bill Clinton said       Hillary's doomed. Ozzy Osborne will perform at OzFest without getting       paid. The concert's promoters say don't tell him but they haven't paid       him for over twelve years. He thinks he's going to a restaurant.       Johnny Knoxville is getting divorced. He's so depressed he doesn't even       feel like shooting himself in the crotch with a staple gun. Paula Abdul       says she doesn't pick people by singing ability but by how well they put       together their look. That is, she picks whoever looks old enough to buy       her a drink.                      Walkover: The Who, 5:15.                     Conan's Growing Sideburns:        - But the got cut! He trusted, past tense, his barber. His       barber walks away. Conan talks about himself in the third person       because he went insane in 1999. He thinks his look would be great with       sideburns; two guys agree.                     Lisa Novak:        - After Navy Commander Bill Oefelein. Who's been e-mailing       Max's wife. ``It's Diapertime!'' Max doesn't get out of the door. He       needs a new diaper. ``It was Diapertime.'' You can get the songs at       Starbucks.                     Reverend Haggard:        - After three weeks of rehab he's ``completely heterosexual''.       Conan's skeptical. Joel says Conan should believe it. For years Joel       swung both ways, but now is ladies-only thanks to Ram-Amine, the       anti-homosexual patch. He'd been up to twelve penises a day. They gave       him his life back. He has to wear ... not just one patch. Joel can put       his shirt down now.                     Arctic Cold:        - Since all the comedy has been disturbing. ``Mike'' is out on       the street where it's really cold. Wind chill about 15 below. Mike's       tongue is stuck on the microphone. He pulls it, but it won't come off.       It's extremely painful. Someone comes; he gets his tongue stuck too.                     Cuba Gooding Jr:        - He's shaved. He doesn't grow beards. Conan doesn't grow a       beard but grows amazing sideburns. Cuba's going to Bulgaria for a movie       with Ray Liotta. He's never been, but knows it will be cold. They say       there are nice hotels. He shows his rear end a lot in movies. Then       things start to run amok and Cuba proclaims he could split that chair in       half, which would force Conan to go to Ikea and get another. Conan's       amazed by how stupid a conversation they have; Cuba could pick up       peanuts with his rear end. Conan wants to start again. Eddie Murphy       isn't fun to work with on set; he saves it all for the camera. Cuba       talks about being in a weird anecdote where Eddie worries about there       not being bugs around. Rowan Atkinson is like that too. Conan's like       he is on TV most of the day, though sometimes he'll just be doing       something like buying a ham sandwich, gruyere cheese, and people will       think he's depressed. Cuba just wanted a normal conversation. In       ``What Love Is'' his character invites everyone to his place on       Valentine's Day, just as he's dumped. It comes out March 23 for some       reason.                     Public Service: The Lullaby with Bessie Lou.        - You know the lyrics. Plugged in this time: drunken driving,       gambling ring, Britney spears shows her thing, subway shooting, KKK, Ted       Haggard's no longer gay. Not one bit gay. Completely not gay. 100       percent that guy's just not gay.                - For the viewers who feel left out: Bull jumping the stand, pro       wrestling chair-hit and limb-sawing, Grease: You're The One That I Want,       Lisa Nowak's mug shot, bear attacking a woman. Paula Abdul's ``Drunk''       interview.                - Actually, they changed the words *very* slightly, singing that       he'd say it this ``gentle way'' instead of this ``soothing way'', but       it's still the same sketch done for a decade plus.                     The Astronaut Farmer:        - Not a sketch, but a commercial in this break. Which has now       become terribly funny when it airs during any of the late night talk       shows.                     Joy Behar:        - The Donald Trump/Rosie O'Donnell thing: Conan inaccurately       claims everyone is fascinated by it. Joy had her own feud with Trump.       Conan predicts Trump will have her beat by gold robots (again). The       View's changed; there's more audience giveaways. The audience comes to       expect it; she's afraid they'll turn on her. Makes it harder to get       tickets to The View; nobody wants to come to Late Night. Problem with a       cruise giveaway: Rosie was going to giveaway one. Rosie said she was       giving two tickets away; the audience thought they'd *all* get the       cruises, and Rosie went ahead and bought the whole audience cruise       tickets anyway. Ten Things Men Don't Know About Their Penises done with       Dr Lamb, who knows from halitosis to penile enlargement. He has a book       called The Hardness Factor. Most of them aren't interesting, like       ``erectile dysfunction can lead to death.'' How? She doesn't know.       ``The penis can be enlarged'' -- yes, it can -- ``with a magnifying       glass.'' ``There are two types of penises''; she guessed big and small.        Standard and Practices warned don't refer to the size of a gorilla's       penis because it's gratuitous. They asked Dr Lamb to not discuss the       taste of semen. The interview ends without a musical outro; I wonder if       it's just WNBC Master Control fumbled.                     Jonathan Katz:        - No musical intro either. They must've been short on time.       Clip from Doctor Katz, Professional Therapist, with the jiggly Conan.       Jonathan has a cane now. His doctor told him no more red meat, no salt,       no alcohol. ``What about sex?'' He's seeing someone. The Professional       Therapist is a cult favorite among all the cults. He's been in and out       of therapy all his life; right now he's seeing a guy who's not so good.       ``Now what's the matter?'' Before that was one who wanted him to stop       opening the can of worms of his childhood. He avoids topical jokes. He       tells one about a failed farmer who goes into the phone sex business,       and satisfies the needs for oohs and aahs by cutting the lips off his       cows and sheep, because you try saying moo or baah without lips. It's       the strangest joke Conan's heard. Jonathan's from New York City; his       parents had a low-budget freak show. They had a bearded man, Siamese       twins, an emotionally strong man, a woman who was a little bloated. He       had an uncle, a Manhattan judge; he's now a wino. Out of respect people       still ask ``may I approach the bench?'' He's living in Cambridge,       Massachusetts now. Maybe the only town where you can walk through the              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
