      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu               From San Francisco! The most tolerant city in America, as long       as you recycle!               String dance!              Conologue:        - No matter how different anyone is, they have in common that       they all hate Los Angeles.               - The only city where marijuana is legal but plastic bags are       not.                - How about their set, and the replica of the Golden Gate       Bridge? They had a replica of the Bay Bridge, but it collapsed. Yeah,       yeah, you'll take it.                - Exciting for basketball fans. The Warriors are a game away       from eliminating the Mavericks. Their new slogan: 'We believe in the       unbelievable', replacing the old, 'We're one of several teams in the       NBA'.                - The mayor sent flowers. He tried to thank them and said       they're for Conan's wife.                - It's a cultural town; there's over 60 museums here, but one       for each member of Jefferson Airplane? Ask your parents.                - The fortune cookie was invented in San Francisco in 1909, when       someone said ``that cookie is delicious, but what will happen to me in       the future''?                - The Giants stadium has wireless so you can bring your laptop;       the stadium combines America's favorite pastimes, baseball and       pornography.                     To honor the rich rock and roll heritage of San Francisco:        - La Bamba is dressed, from Sly and the Family Stone, LaBamba       'Sly' Stone!                     Gift to San Francisco:        - The Transgender Transamerica Tower!                     Thanks, to Intel. Also Sam Wo's Restaurant.                     San Francisco In One Day:        - 8:00. Washington Square Tai Chi. The original cast of Chorus       Line is there. Scenes cut from Pirates of the Caribbean.                - Telegraph Hill, Coit Tower. It looks like a penis. Conan       gives a tour of the 1931 building, built by the Coit Brothers, Corwyn       and Corky Coit. The Pacific Ocean, the Indian ocean, small portions of       Cincinatti are visible. The railing was put in two years ago after       hundreds of deaths. It's over 666 feet tall, the Coit brothers' tribute       to the devil. Alcatraz housed many famous criminals -- Bugsy Siegel,       the birdman of Alcatraz, the Ratman of Alcatraz, rats, Jack Cheddar       Cheese Watson, released when he promised not to steal cheddar anymore,       re-jailed when he stole Swiss cheese, he was renamed Jack Swiss Cheese       Watson. He apologizes for not making sense. But you listened.                - The Divinity Tree, for medical marijuana. The has his       glaucoma glasses. Hold up some fingers. That's a broom.                - No trip to San Francisco is cliched without a trip to       Chinatown, motto, 'Restaurants for Customers Only'. Cynthia Yee,       historian, is excited. Everyone's talking over tea and cakes. A man       there is not excited. ``He doesn't know how to respond.'' All Conan       heard is no. Another woman looks scared by his dancing. She recognized       him right away and started running away. Another said she had to fix       her teeth, right away. Another man looks moderately interested,       although he may well be lying. But he's Conan's #1 Chinatown Fan,       Weicheng Ye.                - The House from Full House: Bob Saget lives there! He never       left once the show went off the air. The whole cast's there. See?       Saget sends the Olsen Twins to bed. He just leaves the door open.               - Soccer in the park. It's intercut with the 'Full House'       credits.                - What else is there to see? The Mitchell Brothers Live Sex       Theater.                - GoCar cruising through the streets. Barely. They should       probably return #18, but that would take a lot of time. They run away.                            San Francisco Late Night Small Talk Moment:        - It's about the I-580 collapse. Discussion of alternate routes       brings considerable applause.                     Dana Carvey:        - He does Arnold Schwarzenegger. He compares parks and mayors       with New York City. Bloomberg has a bit of a munchkin thing. How are       the Knicks doing? (Has anyone seen the Knicks in a decade now?)                - Carvey claims Conan's thinking of moving the show to San       Francisco. He was driving his Prius which runs on baked beans and       Frooty Pebbles, he checked his hemp watch, why not make a key to the       city for Conan out of healing energy? Conan rubs himself.               - Boo lakes, boo trees. Carvey's been married for 25 years, to       seven different women.                - You don't want to divorce with kids, since you then have to       explain it to them in that sing-song voice. And talk down to your       children about how they don't hit daddy and the like.               - Carvey gave Conan a lot of good advice in the past; he wants       to give some more, and sings Scott McKenzie's 'San Francisco (Flower in       your Hair)'. Conan answers with Journey's ``Lights'', and they go to       Starship's ``We Built This City (On Rock And Roll)''. Neither go to       Bronislaw Kaper and Gus Kahn's classic ``San Francisco,'' possibly       because they never heard of it.                     Jasper Redd:        - He discusses white fascination with blacks, a phenomenon only       centuries old, and the ensuing questions about civil rights. Some want       to be doctors and astronauts; some want to be Flavor Flav.                - He dislikes a term for whites pretending to be black, which       ends up loaded with offensiveness. The proper word would be ``wack''.                - He boldly speaks out against political correctness.                - He likes the idea of being nutritious.                - He proclaims himself not racist. He judges people by the       color of their teeth. He had a curious incident when he was quite young       with the tooth fairy, and confesses not knowing the implications of that       event.                     Arctic Monkeys:        From 'Favourite Worse Nightmare': I have no idea. Pleasant       sound even if the lead guitarist seems to be getting ready for an       appearance on Zoom.        http://www.amazon.com/Favourite-Worst-Nightmare-Arctic-Monkeys/dp/B000NQR7NO/                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
