|    16 July 2007 - Christopher Walken, Tim M    |
|    17 Jul 07 23:39:05    |
      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Christopher Walken:        - He's in drag for some of the new Hairspray. John Travolta       plays his wife.                - He wouldn't wear a fatsuit so much; he'd use spaghetti and ice       cream. He's really nine years old deep down, and thinks Conan is too.       Conan thinks he's six. Many performers are children underneath.                - Many think Walken's the best Saturday Night Live host ever.       He was in a Singapore restaurant and a guy and his lady recognized him,       saying the salad needs ``more cowbell'', which appears to be a       catchphrase of some kind.                - He started in musical theater, and he did Annie Hall driving       into headlong traffic, then Deerhunter shooting himself, and he got a       thing for unwholesome stuff.                - Walken dances a lot with his upper body. He was trained as a       tap dancer. So was Conan and he's not making that up, he thought you       had to know how to tap dance to be in show business.                - His fans sometimes write him and ask for money. Like,       $52,580.27. They offer a repayment schedule, and mean it. The band       will be writing. LaBamba's already writing a letter. He doesn't       understand; it's like a cat watching a tennis match.                - They're done with Walken and don't need him for the movie       opening.                     Fathers DiCarlo and Kelly:        - The Vatican declared they were more awesomer than all the       other churches ever. They wish to say the Pope may have overstated       things. Conan agrees; it's entrapment. He's going to do five-to-ten in       purgatory for disagreeing with the Pope.                - They want his loyalty: help the Church, the Church helps his       drug addiction. They count self-pleasure as a drug addiction. Conan       hides Victoria's Secret catalogues in his Sports Illustrated magazine.       ``How did you know that?!'' ``We didn't.''                - They want Conan's asserting the Pope's supreme authority in       matters of Christian Faith.                - Jesus Christ comes out -- he finds their lack of faith in       *Jesus* first and foremost disturbing, and Force-chokes the priests.                            Tim Meadows:        - He got divorced; it was no fun. Single life was awkward at       first, you have to listen again. You need to learn new history, name,       that stuff. The first dates he felt like he was cheating on his wife.                - ``You're talking to an attractive person and you're not used       to that,'' which didn't come out like Conan meant.                - He thought the first date was going well, but when he asked if       she wanted to do this again she laughed and said no. She didn't feel       chemistry. She offered to help pay the check. The ride home was quiet;       she asked to turn on the radio and he said ``No''.                - Conan expected she'd say yes and then be unavailable -- ``I'm       building a silo'' or some such excuse.                - She was a yoga instructor, as he was taking his first classes.        She'd straddle his thighs. Apparently this was just her doing her job.        Conan used to be confused by supermodels making eye contact.                - He was the first in his circle of friends to get divorced, and       now friends ask for serious marriage-threatening crisis advice. He's       not used to giving out life-changing advice.                - They look to him like Evel Kneivel as someone who made it out       intact. He advises to work it out if they at all can, otherwise, say       goodbye to half of everything they own.                      Nick Lowe:        From 'At My Age': Long Limbed Girl.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
