   12 October 2007 - Weird Siren Goes Off:   
   18 Oct 07 13:11:33   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	- Sketch starts being set up: Fall TV Shows are on the Air.  And   
   suddenly a siren begins whooping.  That's not a bit they're doing.   
   Conan can't believe they did a sketch about safety and now there's a   
   siren.  Let's chat.   
   	   
   	- Conan's never heard this sound before.  Jeff Ross doesn't know   
   what's going on.  Do they know we're taping a krunking show?  Conan's   
   going to see that everyone here gets their money back.   
   	   
   	- Nobody but Star Trek even uses that sound anymore!  We should   
   rock the camera from side to side!  The cameraman goes along with this;   
   there's Klingons approaching!   
   	   
   	- And now there's a new noise, and someone asks for your   
   attention please, ``Please be advised we have received an alarm   
   condition on the fifth floor''.  Conan asks if this is a New York   
   subway, and has no idea what an alarm condition on the fifth floor   
   means.  ``Standby for further instructions.''   
   	   
   	- Probably a false alarm: a mop fell over on the fifth floor and   
   we've stopped taping for the first time in fifteen years.  Conan's added   
   a year as they feel we deserve it.   
   	   
   	- Conan decides to just air this.  We're gonna stop and do a   
   comedy bit?  Conan's seen it, it's not any good.  He lounges in the   
   guest chair and lets the people out there know how krunky the show is   
   run!  He lounges.   
   	   
   	- Unless some other mop tips over they're going to take a break   
   and come back.   
      
   	- Afterwards: there was a false alarm on the fifth floor, and in   
   eighteen years of doing the show they've never heard that alarm before.   
   So they'll keep going.
