      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Kelsey Grammer:        - Grammer congratulations Conan on his Emmy. And he had 20       years as Frasier. It's already three years since 'Frasier' left the       air. Frasier was impressed Conan passed the trophy off to one of his       writers for the acceptance speech.                - What's he been doing? There's a wonderful story about       sailing. He's kept it up since he was eight or nine; he's got a 37-foot       sloop. A few months ago he finally got sailing again after an interlude       with children. It changes a life rhythm a bit.                - He gets crazy on the water, singing and reciting Shakespeare,       like bits from Henry V. Conan uses lines from Chips.                - He decided it important he name the boat to remind himself not       to take himself too seriously or get too big-headed, so its name is an       acronym telling off Grammer.                - There's nothing like live theater, where things can get       screwed up. He was in 'My Fair Lady' recently. He once shot a man       on-stage when he wasn't supposed to. It was in 'Wild Oats',       western-styled, in Santa Fe, and he rehearsed at home with six-shooters       strapped to him and he set five alarm clocks to ring randomly and get       his draw reflex down.                - The first night he was supposed to pull them out he pulled the       guns and instead of doing the tricks he popped the guy in the chest.       David Brooks, the guy, covered his chest and coughed, and Grammer called       him off since it was the first at.                - But it gave him a feeling for being Billy The Kid, with it       being so instant and there was powder on the guy's heart. No wonder you       get a reputation for shooting people when you shoot them.                - In the new show he plays a news guy who fell out of       local-Los-Angeles, screws up on air, and is demoted to Pittsburgh to do       closed captioning. Conan says it sounds funny but gives no hint to       whether he's actually seen it.                            Artie Kendall, Radio Ghost:        - Is there a reason for Conan to feign surprise every time he       pops up? Can we have a bit of progression to the premise?                Song 1: Oh, the wealthy shouldn't have to pay their tax / We       should get a free ride on poor people's backs / And if the poor folks       say we're mean / We'll just get some gasoline / And burn down all their       corrugated shacks / Torchity tram.                Song 2: Oh, women all have very low IQs / So it's pointless when       they try to share their views / They should use their tiny brains / To       clean out laundry stains / And to wash the dog krunk off their husband's       shoes / Scrubbity poo. (Every woman who heard it wanted to kill him,       and one of them did.)                Song 3: Oh, Irish people force their kids to drink / And they       often use their toilets as a sink / They grunt instead of talk / And       drag their knuckles when they walk / I'm pretty sure that they're the       missing link / Mickety Ape.               + Last time this sketch was on, the first song was the       Politically Unpopular Expression (in that case, surrender to the Axis       Powers), the second the women-are-stupid, complete with the ``I *was*       murdered, I had it coming'' joke, and finally a bit about the irish       having monkey DNA. I don't have offhand a log for the previous time       the sketch was on, but it does have a note about the anti-woman song       being a repeat of an earlier one.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
