   Joseph Nebus to All   
   21 June 2007 - Conologue, Desk Drive   
   23 Jun 07 13:19:27   
   
   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.
