      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Max Is:        - Speaking like Yoda now. (``And you too, it's good to see.'')                      Conologue:        - Arnold Schwarzenneger told a Latino group if immigrants want       to learn English they shouldn't read foreign-language newspaper. The       immigrant group suggested Arnold tell them how he learned English, and       they'll do the opposite. Sausage.                - Bill Clinton earned more than $10 million for giving speeches       last year, half of which he gave to Charity; the other half he gave to       her sister Tiffany.                - Republican presidential candidates Sam Brownback and Tom       Tankreido promise that if elected President they will pardon Scooter       Libby. So, sorry, Scooter, you are going to jail.                - Former New Jersey governor James McGreevy says his ex-wife's       book is going poorly as she dresses poorly during TV interviews. His       wife's spokesman said, ``All right, we get it, you're gay.''                - A man is suing his dry-cleaners for $54 million for a lost       pair of pants. The pants aren't lost; they're just hiding from their       crazy owner.                - Vancouver celebrated Naked Bike Ride Day last week. Now       Vancounver is celebrating Chafed Testicles Week.                - Ryan Seacrest says American Idol's ratings were down because       Simon Cowell got too much air time. Others say it's because Paula Abdul       got too much Miller Time.                - Conan's tie is trying to escape. It's made or sherbert.       Courtesy Willy Wonka.                     Wardrobe Superviser Bruce $_ gets upset when Conan mocks his ties.        - That's literally how he talks. Ooh, Mrs Muir.                     Bye Bye, Bob Barker        - Conan grew up watching this guy, wearing his mother's clothes       at home.                - He began hosting in 1972; some people remember it well. They       reunited the first season Barker's Beauties. (Carol has been cremated.       The others are on walkers and have an IV drip.)                - The Price is Right was not his first game show; unsuccessful       programs include What's In My Pants?; 1st One to Count To A Million       Wins!; NOW What's In My Pants?; Are You Bullet Proof? (Tragic; never       aired.)                - In 1987 he stopped dying his hair and went with his natural       gray; in 1993 he did it without his dentures. For a while he did it       while off his medication. (They don't bother retouching the backdrops       for authenticity.)                - When he says ``Come On Down'' people go crazy. So ... ``Guy       in a military uniform, come on down! Heavy-set lady, come on down!       REALLY heavy-set lady, come on down! Slow old man in a bad seat, come       on down! Closeted gay man, come on down!'' (It's LaBamba.) What, no       stoner college student who'll bid 420 to the applause of his easily       amused cohort?                - They've already taped his final episode. Conan got to see an       advanced copy; he doesn't think Conan handled the pressure of the finale       well. ``Some more money from the big wheel '' ... a slow-motion       flashback with the steady beeping ... and a Sopranos fade to black.                - Hit particularly hard by Barker's retirement? The Cliffhanger       guy. He's on the roof of the studio and not in good shape. He yodels       his way up to the top and ... falls off, hitting a model car and setting       off the alarm.                - Bob's been a tireless advocate for spaying and neutering pets.        Here's a veterinarian to do a neutering on the show. Dr Dennis       Fitzsimmons: He'll be neutering the vilest, foulest creature to lurk in       the show's nether regions ... The Evil Puppy. It backfires. (I thought       the point of The Evil Puppy was he didn't do anything?)                - Slow Old Man finally gets to the front row. Almost.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
