   1 November 2007 - Dane Cook, Writers Str

   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Dane Cook:   
   	- He tries nicknaming him Snow Conan.  Conan's never had a   
   successful nickname as his original is too weird.  ``On your feet,   
   Vit!''  Vit wonders why he came to this horrible country.   
   	   
   	- Halloween is a great night for crime.  ``I can describe the   
   man who assaulted me, he looked like Napoleon Dynamite!''  He had to get   
   inventive as a kid.   
   	   
   	- He couldn't get Underroos; he offered to wear them out for a   
   costume.  His dad promised to look up Underroos.  What he got:   
   Fruit-of-the-loom.  He's Casper the Ghost.  With Boo written in in   
   marker.  Which makes a lousy costume as Casper hated scaring people when   
   it couldn't result in the death of a raccoon.   
   	   
   	- Cook's always annoyed by the guy who goes as the giant penis.   
   He'll go as the giant vagina and bump into him all night.   
   	   
   	- Masseuse humor: his masseuse was a big fan.  It was the   
   best-worst insult when she said in annoying Boston accent, ``I have an   
   idea for a TV show that I would love for you to be part of.''  It's an   
   interview show, she's the masseuse, rubbing celebrities.  Ozzy Osborne   
   from Black Sabbath, and she'd show how Ozzy Osborne from Black Sabbath   
   was really articulate.  Like, how you're not funny.   
   	   
   	- Cook was the face and voice of annoying the Major League   
   postseason.  (nb Conan: a baseball *playoff* is at the end of a season   
   to break a tie in the standings and see who goes to the postseason.)   
   They annoyed baseball-viewers when they came on during baseball games.   
      
   	- His dad was scouted to play; he was steeped in baseball   
   growing up.  Cook would really like the seats where he and his dad sat   
   when the Red Sox broke the curse.   
      
      
      
   Coming Up Tomorrow Night:   
   	- Conan carries on proudly explaining who'd be on the show if   
   there isn't a strike.  You can watch it online in Slovenia!  Vit is on   
   tomorrow too, whatever his plans were.   
   	   
   	- The Writers Guild may be going on strike; they represent   
   almost all TV writers including Late Night's staff.  So if there is   
   you'll be deprived of their unique, incisive social satire, and never   
   idiotic or arbitrary.  Isn't that right, Cactus Chef Playing ``We Didn't   
   Start The Fire'' on the Flute?   
      
   	- In a commercial Brian Williams mentions that due to the   
   writer's strike the show may be really super-funny this week.
