      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Max Is:        - Always a weird response to a very normal question.              Conologue:        - Seven runners were gored in the Running of the Bulls. The       runners are fine but the bulls can't stop laughing.                - The first gay presidential debate will be held this summer.       Question number one: why can't health care be more fabulous?                - Lady Bird Johnson passed away at age 94. Laura Bush praised       her as a pioneer and icon; George W Bush praised her as a lady and a       bird.                - Rudy Giuliani says he's opposed to medical marijuana, but is a       huge supporter of medical Rogaine.                - Scott Baio says when he played Chachi he dated the actress who       played Joanie, and he lost his virginity to her. Sadly, the same is       true about Potsie and Ralph Malph.                - A California politician wants an eight percent tax on all porn       movies and related material. It could raise $100 million a year, and       just from Charlie Sheen. Conan feels like Churchill in the House of       Commons, which is an odd metaphor.                - Nicole Richie is reported to change her eating habits now that       she's pregnant. She started eating more after hearing a tiny voice       shout, ``Hey, lady, I'm starving in here!'' Her unborn child is from       Brooklyn of the 1940s.                      True Story:        - Conan works for GE, so they have cutting-edge technology and       cool gadgets. Example: the in-house phone directory operated by voice       recognition software, you say the name and it connects you to that       person. Problem? It doesn't work. So he demonstrates it on the air.                - He dials and gets modem whine.                - Conan O'Brien: Ringing Allyson O'Brien.                - Jeff Ross, producer: Jack Wallace.                - Sammy Sosa: Sandy Gottman.                - (Have to wait a bit, this is General Electric. Conan feels       like Thomas Edison with a tin cup.) Shabababa Shamashama HIGH: Shawna       Boga.                - Conan smashes his phone.                      Summer Concert Series:        - Plug for Ortho Fire Ant Killer, too. Like the movie Zodiac.                - John Mayer: Waiting On The World To Change. LaBamba has a       'Marry Me John' sign.                     Emma Watson:        - Is it strange to see her-at-ten in the old movies? It's quite       horrible. It's like hearing your voice on tape.                - She was surprised by Hermione's Magic Muffins, muffin mix.       She's a horrible cook.                - Her brother loves hurling benches at her video game       representation.                - They made a special Harry Potter film for the Queen's 80th       birthday, and then met her. She was so nervous about etiquette rules       she almost froze up. She hopes she enjoyed the show; there wasn't much       facial expression.                - It's obnoxious when people affect an English accent; she can       have one and it's fine. Madonna, it sounds absurd. American actors       putting on English accents are always ... terrible. British actors       often do amazing American accents. See Hugh Laurie, who Conan first       thought was schizophrenic                - Have she or the other Potter actors gone a little money-mad?       Rupert bought an ice cream truck, every kid's fantasy. Fortunately it's       filled with ice cream, as medical books would be a disappointment.                      Michael Chernoff:        - That is not an eagle, that's a picture of him.                - He had a 'gut feeling' of a terrorist attack what with Bush's       poll numbers dropping.                - He's modified Homeland security Terror Advisory System: Gut       Feeling; Gettin Weird Vibe; Little Birdie Told Me; Fortune Cookie Said       I'd Have An Interesting Week; Peyote-Fueled Hallucination.                     Patton Oswalt:        - He chapped his penis. Ugh. He was walking in Salt Lake City       but for some reason didn't wear underwear despite the cold. It looked       like Andy Rooney crying. This lead to complications at a fitness club.                       - He was interviewed by actual children for the Ratatouille       promotions. He forgot how much he depends on cynicism and negativity to       communicate. ``Was it fun working with Brad Bird?'' ``It was really       fun!'' Bleed! Spiders out his ears!                - He was in North Hampton, Massachusetts, to promote it, which       turns out to be a lesbian enclave. With Janeane Garofalo, he looked       like part of the cutest lesbian couple in town.                - The Kentucky Fried Chicken Famous Bowl rant he did last time       got a lot of response for the show. It's like ``give me two scoops of       despair and cover it with I Give Up'', their most popular thing ever.       They've added a biscuit in the side of the bowl. That didn't come from       corporate: employees sold it to customers and saw employers doing that.       Corporate realized they could charge for that.                - If you're at the point in your life where you're getting a       Famous Bowl, shoving in the biscuit is the last creativity you have       left. And now they've taken that away from their customers. So he asks       the company to -- add some coffeehouse flute from the 60s -- here's a       poem he's written.                - Don't take away my biscuit, KFC./ It's how I express my       creativity./ At the end of a long day's misery/ it's my bowl, my heart,       my biscuit and me./ Don't take away my biscuit, KFC,/ and leave me       adrift on a starchy sea./ Corn and potatoes, cheese and gravy,/ they       don't bring the joy in this out to me./ Don't take away my biscuit,       KFC./ You wouldn't like me when I'm an-guh-ry./ My hair will turn red/       and my skin will turn pasty. Don't believe me? Switch to camera three.                       - Conan enjoyed his final visit to the show.                     Mark Ronson:        - From 'Version': I have no idea. Sorry.                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
