|    16 October 2007 - Jake Gyllenhall, Conan    |

      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Jake Gyllenhall:        - He's got a beard that drives folks crazy. Gyllenhall is less       confident about it. He wants people to think he smells bad when he sees       him on TV, but smells good in person, since -- ah, the odor alert is       going off.                - He's a Red Sox fan. He went to a game with huge fans. One       friend brought a glove and asked for tickets in the Green Monster, for       people who want to catch a ball. He went to batting practice even.                - Sixth inning David Ortiz hits; from 600 feet away it looks       like it's coming to you. But it started coming and he says slowly, ``It       looks like it's coming toward us.'' Looks like it. ``Looks like it ...       OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!'' It's a YouTube clip now. It landed about       halfway from the wall to the top of the Green Monster, but he was       convinced he had caught it. Gyllenhall pointed out the ball was not in       his glove. ``IT'S THERE!'' For three minutes. The rest of the game he       was, ``I swear to God, if I had just lowered a little bit ... '' He was       calling friends asking how close it was.                - He liked Japan as everyone thinks he's funny there and laughs       at everything he says. Conan announces they're going to Japan!                - Gyllenhall was out of work for six months; this would drive       Conan loopy. In the entertainment business that's normal, but ... do       you start, like, building model kites and painting Hummel figurines?       Gyllenhall likes it to the Gnarls Barclay song, 'Does That Make You       Crazy?' Sing that for six months, that's what Gyllenhall feels like,       and that's why he's going back to work soon.                - Rendition: it's a gritty subject. His character is being       asked to torture someone and this is not what he was there to do.                     Conan Quitters Offer:        - Fred Thomson announced he was running for President on the       Tonight Show, and has fallen way behind on the polls. So here's an       offer:                - Please drop out of the race on my show! In fact, all       candidates with no chance of winning, announce your withdrawal here!                - Mike Huckabees, Sam Brownbacks, Mike Gravels, Duncan Hunters,       Ron Pauls, Bill Richardsons, Joe Bidens, Chris Dodds, Dennis       Kuczyniches, even the Tom Tancredoes. If you concede you'll get:                - To stand behind this dignified podium carved from Brazilian       rosewood. An audience full of professional actors who pretend to       recognize you *and* to be disappointed when you drop out. ``Don't do       it, Duncan Hunter! You're our only hope!'' This handsome gift basket       including a delicious cheese assortment, exotic fishing lures, and an       attractive ``I'm A Conan Quitter'' button.                - And last but not least: the first candidate giving up will be       guaranteed a spot in the next season of The Surreal Life, along with Lou       Diamond Philips, Tone Loc, Melissa Rivers, Steve Gutenberg, the kid from       Jerry Maguire, and Lisa Nowak. Plus sex with at least one of those       people! ``Duncan, you gotta go with Nowak!''                - So you unelectable clowns, a line not there in rehearsal,       become a Conan quitter and we'll end this charade together!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
