   Joseph Nebus to All   
   15 October 2007 - Anderson Cooper, Weird   
   18 Oct 07 13:11:13   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	- Conan doesn't remember anyone from the Clash shaking a change   
   purse.   
   	   
   Anderson Cooper:   
   	- Many networks have gone to HD.  They just did.  The new   
   documentary too.  Now you get instructions like you have to shave   
   several times a day.   
   	   
   	- Cooper learned he has a little fatty deposit under his left   
   eye.  He went to a dermatologist; he needed a cosmetic procedure.  He   
   resisted, but his Mom [1] was so thrilled as she thought it'd be a   
   bonding experience.  ``Honey, I'm going to take you to the doctor,''   
   whom she's apparently had some experience with.   
      
   	[1] Gloria Vanderbilt.   
   	   
   	- There's no evidence the guy is a doctor from outside.  The   
   doctor put him on a video screen and asked what Cooper thought was   
   wrong; the doctor picked out many things he never suspected.   
   	   
   	- The fatty deposit is visible on a twelve-year-old Ordinary TV   
   despite the Tivo flickering out of colors again.   
   	   
   	- Conan has a similar vein problem when, say, Giselle comes on.   
      
   	   
   	- Cooper was finally a guest on Sesame Street.  He got to sit in   
   Oscar's garbage can.  He didn't know there's a group of grouches, so he   
   interviewed Dan Rather-Not and Walter McCranky.   
   	   
   	- Cooper is also freaked out by the lashing of Snuffleupagus to   
   the ceiling.  Cooper mentions the Abu Grahib evocations of it.   
   	   
   	- Cooper didn't realize how as long as the hand is in the   
   puppet, it's the puppet that does the talking, even on breaks.  Conan   
   noticed you don't actually talk to the puppeteer, but to the puppet   
   instead, and you feel like an idiot afterwards.   
   	   
   	- Plus Cooper saw Elmo being worked on.  A little cosmetic work.   
      
   	   
   	- Cooper went to the Amazon for his new show.  Cooper's advice:   
   don't.  He thought cockroaches were big in New York City, but in the   
   Amazon they're four feet long and fly.  Not literally.   
   	   
   	- They went out with Jeff Corwyn.  Cooper gets hit by a lot of   
   bats.  Phil got infected by something that implanted eggs in him.  Now   
   the audience is rooting for global warming.  Cooper hopes the problem is   
   solved so that he doesn't have to do these assignments anymore.   
   	   
   	- War zones at least there's stuff going on to distract you.   
   The Amazon you're just there with nothing going on.  Cooper accidentally   
   touches Conan's knee, but Conan is fine with this.
