   Vieira is the correct spelling (sorry to nitpick, but maybe it will help   
   someone who Googles this later).

   Don't forget the ``cottage cheese'' with the celery sticks.   
      
   This sketch was terrifically written and performed. I liked the way it   
   incorporated Conan's insecurities about his masculinity as well as Max's   
   weird sexual tastes. More unusual and remarkable, though, were all the   
   feminine details, because the show's humor usually slants towards the male   
   side. It's not often that the show ventures into the territory of chick-lit   
   novels (``And don't tell me you haven't dreamed of a magic pair of jeans   
   that fit your curves just right!'') and store-bought pasta salad. Are there   
   any female writers on the staff nowadays?   
      
   Oh, and the Giants won on Sunday, by the way.
