      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu               All caught up! I'll be eagerly taking suggestions for Rerun       Week Discussion Questions, too.              Max Is:        - A little too honest.                      Conologue:        - Ozzie Osborne sold his Los Angeles mansion. He had to sell       the house because, ``I could never find it.''                - Hillary Clinton has a new campaign ad spoofing the Sopranos       finale. She orders carrot sticks at a diner and switches the jukebox to       a Celine Deion song. Hillary calls it a lot of fun; Bill calls it a       chilling peek into his personal ...                - A report claims TV journalists are biased as 90 percent of       their money donations are to Democrats. Apparently it's true as today       Larry King sent a huge check to Woodrow Wilson.                - Nightmare on Elm Street director Wes Craven is suing Pauly       Shore. That's right: the man behind films that gave you horrible       nightmares is being sued by Wes Craven.                - The American Medical Association is thinking of declaring       addiction to medical games a medical condition, ``chronic persistent       virginity''. _That's not funny Conan O'Brien, tsoo tsoo tsoo tsoo!_                - Some Continental passengers are upset as on a recent flight       the toilets backed up from the toilet and waste flowed down the aisle of       the plane. They knew something was wrong as the Captain said ``on your       left is the Grand Canyon, and on your right is something that used to be       bacon.''                - Rosie O'Donnel' is reportedly interested in taking over for       Bob Barker as host of The Price Is Right. She's already hired her own       Price is Right girls. They're dressed like Schneider from One Day At A       Time. GET IT?!                - LaBamba's all ready to go. He has maracas and half a       tambourine; Conan wants to see the sheet music for those. Conan says       LaBamba shouldn't take a day off, then he won't go after him.                      [ Walkover music: My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean? Huh? What brought that       pick on? I don't remember it as walkover music before. ]                     Desk Drive:        + In case you couldn't guess from the way the shot was framed,       Conan just got Bessie Lou back from the garage and wants to take it for       a drive. Conan ``drifts up'' to the audience and I'm not sure how they       hid the green screen there, and he picks out a guy who looks kind of       like the guy from Lost, named Mike, from Warwick, New York.                - They give him two mikes. One more than Conan, which doesn't       feel right.                - ``I love cars.'' ``It's a desk.'' ``That wasn't the shift.''                       - They go down the Museum of Modern Art stairs, and Mike isn't       bouncey enough.                - They get out of New York City, and go to Washington, DC.       George Washington Bridge, highway ... they get the hyperdrive -- ``slow       down, slow down, slow down'', and they're in Australia, where they're       attacked by a penguin.                - ``This is the most realistic penguin we could get?''                - The Washington monument is inspirational, and Mike looks       around for it. The Pentagon, the Jefferson Memorial, the IRS building.       Mike's immediately audited, and Conan runs them over. The crowd likes       Conan killing people.                - Is Bush in the White House? They're watching Spongebob       Squarepants.                - A White House Tour ... Conan's desk is checked. They find a       bong under Mike's seat. ``What is your problem?'' ``I don't have       one.'' ``Remind me to never commit a crime with you.''                - Cherry blossoms; they've already fallen, except for that tree,       in Mike's face. Why not pull a blossom off? It goes all Christine       McGlade on Mike. Conan forgot how allergic he was to cherry blossoms,       and sneezes his head off. ``Man, that sucked.''                - The National Zoo (``more penguins'')... there's the panda       exhibit, where they always want the panda to mate, and out comes a panda       with an interest in Mike. ``It works.'' Mike wasn't trying too hard to       stop him.                - There's a flight simulator at the Air and Space museum; the       guy who couldn't get the bag over Conan's heaad has it ... they launch,       zip past Mars. The air's thin by Saturn, and the air masks drop down.       It's very peaceful out there, and the panda comes back for Mike.                + And thank you, Mike DiFrancisco from Warwick, New York.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
