      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu               -- I hate to say it, but it looks like I'm going to be out of       state on Friday. The Tivo *should* record it so I can pick up on       Monday, but I would be mighty grateful for someone else picking up the       show that day ...              Max is:        - There, with the band, which is always there too. 2,400 shows       and they've always been here.                     Conologue:        - The President of Iran is freeing the British soldiers captured       as an ``Easter gift''. As a bonus they'll throw in a case of       marshmallow peeps. Rudy Giuliani says the press can attack him all they       want, but should lay off his wife. He means this one; it's open season       on the first two. The Vatican may canonize Pope John Paul II, who's       already credited with three miracles, including keeping Sanjaya from       being voted off American Idol. A Spice Girls reunion concert may be in       the works (you're kidding) (nothing shocks him more in his life than       that), but the Spices are demanding ten million dollars, which was       thought up by the group's newest member, Delusional Spice. His       apologies to that whole section, trapped a decade in the past. Keith       Richards is saying he once mixed some of his father's ashes with cocaine       and snorted it. You can read about it in Richard's new book, 101 Creepy       Ways To Make Your Coke Last Longer. Zookeepers in Thailand have been       trying to get the pandas to mate, so have been showing videos of pandas       having sex. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked; they now spend the whole       day masturbating. A Sweden court has said (yaay!) (well, that explains       a lot now, doesn't it?) said a pair of heavy metal fans will not be       allowed to name their daughter Metallica. The parents are upset, as is       their son, White Snake. (The Swedes are paler than me! Conan looks       like Ricardo Montalban next to them.) Britney Spears told Kevin       Federline that he was the biggest mistake she ever made. And remember,       he's talking to someone who shaved her head and exposed her vagina. (Is       the guy two rows in front from Sweden, or just trying to get in on it?       They guy with the devil beard gives the metal fists. He's a liar, but       the devil is always a liar, isn't he? This is a really stupid show       tonight.)                     Are they from Sweden, or from Sweden, New Jersey?        - Finland's in the audience too! What is going on? Who booed       Finland? What country are you from? Oh, (New?) Jersey.                     Bush's Press Conference:        - Conan saw something frightening during the press conference.       In teh bushes is Cheney just ... staring.                     Nancy Pelosi's in Syria:        - She's covered her head with a scarf to fit in with local       customs. (She looks like Rhoda's mom.) It happens, though -- here's a       picture of Al Gore in Japan; Bill Clinton in Afghanistan; George W Bush       visiting Russia (in a sombrero).                - Bush is angry on the grounds it's undermining Bush's policy;       Conan doesn't know, since he doesn't know much about Syria. But Joel       knows about Syria!                - Syria is a middle-eastern country the size of North Dakota,       with a population the size of Florida, or two Minnesotas and a New       Jersey. The capital is Damascus, aneight-letter word roughly the size       of the word Doritos. Syrian President Bashar a-Assad is roughly the       size of his step-brother Wayne, who was married to a woman roughly the       size of golfer John Daly. His brainis roughtly the size of a walnut.                     Clutch Cargo Keith Richards:        - Hi Conezy-Ponezy. He didn't really mix his father's ashes       with cocaine; he was misquoted. There was no coke in there. High grade       paternal booger sugar. He doesn't know what his mother thought; he'd       already smoked her. wrapped her in a tablecloth and puffed away. He's       joking; actually, she was in a bong. To take the edge off he rubbed       some liquid grandmom on his gums. He advises kids not to take grandmom.        Conan's the sick one, having a little man on his desk ... you shrunk       his little head and have snakes coming out of it ... him and his Swedish       cohorts conspired ...                     Ice Cube:        - He had a tour around the country, but had to fire his bus       driver, who was getting drunk. When the driver's higher than Snoop Dogg       ... spent too much time with Keith Richards ... He fired him himself,       though.                - When he was a rapper, was it ever conceivable that he'd be in       G-rated kids' movies? One of his band-mates is doing pornos now. He's       seen the movies; very satisfying.                - The more kids you have, the more you sound like your father;       they just suck the cook right out of you. Conan saw Arnold       Schwarzenegger trying to deal with his kids, and suddenly, he wasn't the       Terminator anymore. How do you keep the kids calm? He lets them hang       out with Keith Richards now and then.                - On XXX II, he and the director bumped heads a lot. It was fun       to read in the paper he was arrested on Santa Monica Boulevard for       dressing like a transvestite ... Conan asks who the director was, if he       ever heard of him, if Alan ever heard of him ... and cut to Alan in       drag.                - In 'Are We Done Yet', he has to battle a raccoon. The raccoon       wins.                     B J Novak:        - Novak's a Massachusetts guy, from Newton. His family has       Google News alert them to appearances of The Office in the news. Mom       asked if she was in a Lakers-Celtics game; his picture was in the paper.        Just barely visible behind Jim Carrey.                - Pete, the craft service guy, makes him laugh the most on The       Office set. He explains all the food in terms of how it will affect       your sexual virility.                - He's really into Easter candy, and will stock up. Here's the       thing about Cadbury Eggs. There's a weird, slow, groundswell for       Marshmallow Peeps. Conan recognizes Cadbury Eggs a moment later. Conan       was thinking about Sweden; how can he explain it to them? He buys       blocks for the rest of the year. He thinks they've been getting       smaller, not that he's grown much this year. The Cadbury web site has a       disclaimer that no, they haven't gotten smaller, you've gotten bigger.       It makes him suspicious. He figured he must have old Cadbury eggs. He       found one from several years ago, and can compare to this years.       Indeed, they *have* gotten smaller. Are there Cadbury commercials on       this show? There are? Conan laughs nervously.                     Clap Your Hands Say Yeah:        - From 'Some Loud Thunder': I'm guessing the title relates in       some way to Satan, which word constituted 40 percent of the lyrics by       weight. I like the song, but I kind of blandly like Clap Your Hands       Say Yeah anyway, so that's not an insightful review.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
