Blue moon
you left me standin' alone without a dream in my heart without a love of my own. 1 And then, there was a blue moon...
2 3 
4
I know my plurals dammit. At first I thought the word "mooses" would have been cuter. But someone woulda called me on it, so we'll just leave it. Cute moose anyway, don't you agree? Or is there no such thing? 5 Ah, the Great 
7 It makes us howl and scream.
It brings anger and passion, that much is certain.
 It brings out amor.
 It brings with it much madness! 
It makes music lilting, lucid and lyrical.
It makes lips rounder and full blossomed.
It brings omens, night or day. 
It bewilders animals.
It always hits the bullseye.
It makes kids laugh and act silly.
It makes dreamers dream.
But the truest observation of them all...
Peace.

1 Music.2 I'm tellin' ya.
3 I worked another awesome concert last night. It just brought back some great memories of Ponch, Shawna, and all those fun concerts and shows.
4 I got there just before curtain and proceeded to climb up to the booth.
5 You know what that is. It's the tech booth. They have a VERY
familiar ETC lighting system at the Chill-on-the-Hill. Feels just like home.6 I loved every second of it. Music rocks.
7 Our booth has a dimmer in it so you can turn the lights way down and close your eyes during a concert. Nobody even goes in to ask dumb questions. It's just you and the booth. I loved it.8 One tune they did was all about thinking about your troubles and concerns, and moving with the pain and all, and eventually taking it wherever it goes.
9 I just sat there thinking about everything.
10 You know.
11 Just everything.
12 It worked. Because everything means personal stuff, and everyone has very real, very personal stuff.
13 Just everything.
14 The music saddened me, and later danced with my soul. It lifted me and then set me down gently.
15 It sounds a lot more boring than it was, because I just had a moment to think about all the real stuff going on inside, outside, and all the rest.
16 Well, I felt really amazing after having listened. Because I guess you can't lie with music. You know how you put on an antic face to meet the faces that you meet sometimes? Or how you keep things that REALLY bother you sort of cooped up because most others wouldn't get it, or care?
17 That's how it was.
18 I became my own best friend.
19 Part of it had to do with this cool philosophy that Thuy Ann told me about the other night. The concept was pretty simple: we're all crazy, and one major thing is what causes our craziness.
20 Sort of like the Cheshire Cat saying "We're all mad."
21 Something like that.
22 Anyway, nothing funny to report, nor even interesting to say today really.
23 Just stuff.
24 Yep.
25 Just stuff.
26 Peace.

1 Ah, those stupid whales are almost back in the ocean. They almost got there when one of them forgot her cell phone and headed back to Sacramento. Fortunately they have some swift Fairies who are helping them along.2 Pink! Blue! Pink! Blue! Pink!
3 Very big news. I didn't mean anything bad when I called them stupid, they just are.
4 We all get into deep water sometime, and often go headed in stupid directions.
5 It's all so deep.
6 Anyway, that was a whale of a story, and I think I'm gonna write a children's book about this and cash in. Delta and Dawn. What's that flower you got on?7 Moving on: Hey, I'm just yankin' yer chain. I'm not REALLY gonna write a children's book. But somebody will.
8 So Barry approaches one record, and Sammy Sosa approaches 600, and you've never heard it quieter.
9 Where have you gone, Joe Dimaggio? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
10 Sigh.
11 I decided to stop bitching about AOL for a day. It's not totally their fault that my computer freezes. It just does. My dog has fleas. I can't afford anything. We have a corrupt chimpanzee and a suitcase full of thugs running everything.
12 I just need something to grouse about. About which to grouse.
13 Moving on: How about cell phones? Perfect. Here go. My cell phone just stopped taking a charge. So I have a dead phone.
14 In strong winds it holds papers pretty nicely, but otherwise, it's kaput.
15 I called Cingular last night, and they wanted to sell me an entire two more years of "service". I hung up and hurled my phone into the bay. I never wanted one to begin with, and even wrote about it.
16 More often than not it's pretty useless. And now I had bosses, gravediggers, Smilin' guys, and soup beggars all asking me for my cell number. The other day I answered the phone because I couldn't read who it was calling, and wound up having some guy berate me for basically not dropping everything I was doing to goof on HIS stuff. Uh...sorry man. Later.
17 I don't have a phone, that doesn't happen.
18 Plus since I have the eyesight of Mr. Magoo, I can't really see who it is that's calling anyway. And when it IS someone I want to talk with, with whom I want to talk, Cingular cuts out. Fewest dropped calls my ass.
19 So I dropped my call all right. Right into the fookin' bay. Sayonara.
20 I figure I'll break down and get another in a day or two, but right now with the computer and all the other little baby items I bitch about on a daily basis, I just don't need to be bothered.
21 Of course, I'm also full of horse manure, so take all of this with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
22 I never DID understand that one.
23 I'm my own worst enemy.
24 Moving on, Part Dos: A friend of mine used to go into deep thought when his mother would say that to him as a lad. "You're your own worst enemy! Now go to your room and you think about that!"
25 He used to tell me that when that would happen, he'd go down the hall, sit in his room, and think, "I'm my own worst enemy..." And he also told me that he could never figure out why. He thought he sorta liked himself, and was pretty darned well-adjusted. He's just stare at the wall repeating that. "I'm my own worst enemy..."
26 That's the difference between that guy and me.
27 I would have said, "I AM my own worst enemy..." and gone into remorses.
28 Catholic.
29 For a while I just thought it would be cool to tell people that I am an EX-Catholic.
30 You know, like you're too cool to fall for all of that Hell stuff. Then you'd do one of those half-assed signs of the cross, just in case...
31 Another friend once told me, "Ex-Catholic? Isn't that sorta like saying you're ex-CIA?"
32 Yeah.
33 I got it.
34 Wednesday. Already. Ain't that grand?
35 The sun is up. The sky is blue. It's beautiful. And so are you.
36 Have a wonderful day. I'm gonna go to a Zen master and learn how to quit grousin'.
37 Peace.

1 Did you ever just spend time with people you REALLY love and love to be with and realize that a whole lot of everything else is a bit contrived?2 My sister had us over for a dinner party the other night and I proceeded to spend an entire evening not just laughing, but sharing absolute hilarity and joy with a group of people who absolutely know how to laugh uproariously.
3 Not one item we laughed about was even remotely politically correct. No target was safe, and we spent almost seven straight hours in pure hysterics, having a backyard barbecue and subsequent hilarity.
4 These guys were heavy hitters, big guns in the humor show. Plus they are people I've known since I was in high school.
5 I know, I know. I'm STILL in high school. But I can't do bunny ears to my boss or talk with a thousand different accents. These guys are PROS.
6 Just tears of laughter and of pure friendship. Eating and drinking all day and night and not worrying about getting fatter, or those two whales, or of global warming or anything except laughing with awesome people.
7 Good times.
8 Moving on: Starting the week on a Tuesday was a good idea. I got to write today's DN yesterday morning, and didn't feel I had to race AOL before it froze. I still haven't had the time to sit down and take care of all this. Real life, dontcha know. But we're taking it all to the lab and having it analyzed.9 I awakened this morning to birds and sweetness, but I couldn't bring myself to get outta bed. Didn't have to (remember this is being written YESTERDAY). Didn't have to think about anything except how much fun I had last night.
10 So today all any of us have to do is to sail through Toosdee and it'll be a fast week.
11 Moving on, Part Cool: My sister Gayle and her husband Chris are going to Tahoe this weekend to bicycle completely around the Lake. It's for a good cause, and they are going to do it on Sunday morning at around six a.m. I'm WAY tempted to go up, and probably will.
12 It's darned close to summer, y'all.
13 The greatest job in the world is when you are a teacher in the summer and you don't have summer school. It's like being a kid on the sidewalk holding a Popsicle.
14 So nice.
15 Gottago.
16 Fly low.
17 Peace.

The Daily News1 Well howdy.
2 Happy unofficial first weekend of Summer.
3 Last night AOL finally gave up the ghost, or SOMETHING.
4 My Class of '05 president and goof extraordinaire Thuy Anh need a bit of help on
a college paper and I started to help when AOL completely froze.5 After that it froze every four seconds. I couldn't help her except to try editing by phone.
6 That dog don't hunt. Cingular, which is about as useless as AOL, stayed strong and hung in there, but it was an effort in futility. AOL was relentless in its narcolepsy.
7 The ironic part is that I had "upgraded" in hopes that they MIGHT just be doing that to goose their customers, but nope. The upgrade clearly was a downgrade.
8 I'm already slowly moving my DN guest list over to Mozilla, but a lot of that list was just adds and then cut and paste to get the DN to you, and many names just aren't on an AOL group list. I'm hoping I can go back over to AOL and mail this DN. But every time I go to AOL my computer freezes. Coincidence or conspiracy, hmmmm? You be the judge.
9 Moving on: Anyway, that's more info than anyone needs, and I SHOULD be writing about that lady who is suing some amusement park because she fell out of a rollercoaster.
10 Evidently she took up two seats and plummeted fitfully to the earth.
11 Word on the street is that they're changing the name of the ride to "Hades".
12 M'bad.
13 Moving on, Part 2: Have you ever watched that reality teevee show (are there ANY non-reality teevee shows on mainstream anymore?) where these cake guys have to deliver cakes to rich people's homes and have to run from pit bulls, butlers, fancy dancers, and snappy dressers?
14 At first I thought it was a ridiculous concept, but like most of those sorts of shows, I sit back and yell at the teevee, "Who WATCHES this stuff?"
15 And then two hours later, I'm clapping my hands, sweeping them at the screen, and saying, "Who WATCHES this stuff?"
16 Uh...
17 Anyway yesterday for our Honors Night, I had the unenviable chore of bringing three full-sheet cakes up the hill to the kitchen to go into a walk-in refrigerator, and then I had to bring it back down to the theatre.
18 Uncapitalized theatre.
19 Well, FIRST I had to get those guys from Safeway's cake area to the TOOOOOOONDRA. I had to go through an act of congress to pay for them because the customer service person was spending about twelve years convincing some guy that he had no money to send by Western Union.
20 I'm standing there with three HUGE cakes and 20 gallons of cheap punch, which they didn't seem to have crates for. I looked like a homeless guy with three huge pink boxes. The boxes started to sag on each end.
21 Finally, they let me pay for them, but the school check was a buck sixty short.
22 {Picture of dog}
23 That's what it's come to. {Picture of confused dog}
24 The threw all 20 individual gallons of some horrid orange fruit punch into the back of the TOOOOOONDRA, and then slid the cakes onto the seats. My guitar had to be tied down to a rocking chair on the roof. I thanked them, popped some Earl Skruggs into the beat box, and proceeded to climb the hill.
25 From there, it was a Chinese circus act. I spun one cake on a wooden dowel, and spun another on my index finger. After doing a bit of a soft-shoe, I got the cakes into the walk-in cooler.
26 The door closed. Suddenly I was on Seinfeld.
27 Nah. But I must say, I thought of that show. I thought of how many different ways all of that could have failed. Fortunately some guy had snagged a Save Mart shopping cart and left it in a storage room, so I got all that stuff safely down to the theatre.
28 It was great though, because the cakes all had this huge graduation hat (do they still call them "mortar boards" or am I just old school? I'm old, and still in school, so it would stand to reason...) that had sort of a dark teal and black color right in the middle of them, and each cake said, "Congratulations!" Pretty nice, except that the frosting turned everyone's teeth dark teal.
29 It was a scream, really. You gotta love seeing people turning blue. I shoulda worn my shades.
30 Well, not really everyone, but I certainly preferred not to go about with blue teeth.
31 They ate every ounce of cake, and I even had to go up and steal some cake from a party earlier in the day, and they gobbled that all up too.
32 I was Cake Delivery Guy yesterday. Unofficial First Weekend of Summer's Eve Cake Delivery Guy.
33 Great gig.
34 So...sorry TA, but Mozilla works, not AOL. AOL sucks.
35 And there's a bit about cake.
36 I won't talk about the pit-bull that took Viagra, because, well I just won't. But that just came across the news on KGO. You gotta love it.
37 I better go.
38 Have a GREAT Unofficial First Weekend of Summer.
39 And congrats to my homie Peter Tran for graduating from SJSU tomorrow. We're all proud of you man!
40 See y'all next week.
41 Peace.

1 Whew.2 I had a rare window of time to do a little shopping yesterday, so I took off to Los Gatos, which loosely translated means "The Male Cats".
3 Although I spent a good part of the afternoon there, I never once saw a cat. I saw LOTS of dogs who resembled their owners, but no cats. Especially no male cats.
4 Now if you don't know, Los Gatos is the type of town that might have an entire store devoted to nothing but dogs and cats.
5 You know, a shop that might sell you a cardigan sweater for your dog for around fifty bucks. And they don't have any mutts in that town. I think they're just not allowed. No mutts. No Mutt Zone.
6 Anyway, the reason I wanted to shop in Los Gatos was because it has TWO stores devoted to kitchen items, and I wanted to get an apron and oven mitts for Caitlin's birthday.
7 I walked into one of the kitchen shops and saw a salt shaker for twenty-nine bucks.
8 I was actually looking for the apron and oven mitts. I found a great old-fashioned apron and some huge mitts, and left, quite satisfied. They even gift-wrapped it in birthday wrap. Pretty spiffy.
9 It was really hot yesterday so when I got outside, I looked around and instantly ducked into a coffee place, hoping to get an icy, blended coffee to beat the heat.
10 Now in downtown Los Gatos, you'll be hard-pressed to find a neighborhood Starbucks. They have places called "Roasting Companies". La-de-dah.
11 I went in and asked the barista if I could have a blended Caramel Macchiato.
12 She looked at me as though she had just inadvertently swallowed a caterpillar. She answered with a very terse, "No. It would taste like blended froth!"
13 She then walked over to another worker and whispered something. He rolled his eyes and whispered back.
14 Eventually she brought me a clear plastic cup with hot coffee and froth poured over ice, even though they have a blender. She was kind enough to drop the froth on top, but it wasn't at all what I had wanted. Nope. Can't blend coffee, my good fellow. WE don't do that to coffee...
15 I graciously thanked them and moved down the street.
16 I soon wandered into a wine shop. Caitlin is taking a wine class so I thought I might get her a nice bottle of Chardonney.
17 I walked in and it smelled delightfully like a wet cork. To my immediate right stood a HUGE cheese wheel. It looked good, bit it occurred to me that in all my years of going into wine shops and delicatessens, I had never SEEN anyone BUY a cheese wheel. Still, I thought it looked good, aged and sort of charming.
18 To my right stood a small blackboard with the words "Specials of the Day" written on it. My experience with small blackboards with the word "Specials" somewhere in it is this: watch your wallet.
19 I saw that they had a nice chardonney from this charming little winery called Villa Mt. Eden for $11.99. I had visited that winery a few years back, and thought that it was a perfect deal.
20 Looking up, I saw that the entire wall was a grand wine rack with wines from nearly anywhere. I broke into a huge smile and started looking at all the labels and varietals.
21 After a fashion it struck me that something was not quite right. I turned one of the bottles around and noticed that it had NO price tag.
22 My instant instinct: leave that store.
23 So I did, but not until I noticed that the $11.99 Villa Mt. Eden was the price per GLASS. Live wine.
24 I left in haste and headed up the street, where the crosswalk was positioned at an angle that made it twice as far as the one directly in front of me. A guy in a Lamberghini almost killed me, but worried it might graze his silver shine, so he just slammed his brakes on. I gave one of those cool-guy waves and moved swiftly.
25 I got out of there with a quickness. It occurred to me that I wasn't really a Los Gatos type of guy. I should have gone to Los Banos, with a teelda.
26 Los Banos is a one-horse town that has one outhouse in it even though it's name means "The Male Bathrooms."
27 Eventually I found my way to a place called The Pruneyard, which had utterly no prunes, and not a yard within five miles. But it DID have a Barnes and Noble, as well as a Trader Joe's.
28 Good ol' TJ's. They had three bottles of some great wines, and for once they weren't crowded. I made my purchases, even buying a Trader Joe's canvas bag so that Caitlin could get a sense that she was fighting global warming, and inconvenient truth.
29 I finally got to Barnes and Noble and ordered a Venti Caramel Frappucino blended, and the barista, who looked like a fish lure, said, "Anything else?"
30 I just smiled. I got a lousy card after around a year of looking, and then found a book called, Who Knew?
31 It had this little tidbit in it: Sunglasses date back to fifteenth-century China, where they were worn by judges to conceal their expressions while presiding over court.31 Who knew?
32 That's about it. My computer froze twice while writing all this, so now might be a good time to wish you a lovely day.
33 Have a lovely day.
34 Peace.

Monday, May 21, 2007The Daily News1 Whew.
2 I'm in a race tonight to write the DN due to computer freeze mixed with AOL being it's usual useless self.
3 Right now I"m just too busy to take the time to fix all this stuff, but in around three weeks, I'm going to blow this stuff to the moooooooooon.
4 Moving on: Bullshot Crummond rocked this weekend. They finished off the show yesterday afternoon to the delight of a rare afternoon crowd. I beamed, so proud of so much, and so proud of this amazing group of students. I'm still flabbergasted at how well they did with so little adult supervision.
5 I was all set to go to the cast party yesterday and for some reason, just couldn't. I don't really know why, but I wanted to remember leaving the Theatre proud and amazed. Not that a party would have made that any less effective, I just smiled and decided to bypass that. A lot of emotions I suppose, although if anyone accused me of that I would adamantly deny it.
6 Moving on, Part the Second: A big thank you goes out to all the e-mails and nice thoughts from the away-to-college set. All at once everyone wrote, and all are poised and ready to take on this last week or two before jetting home. Nice hearing from you guys, and yes, I do look forward to welcoming you home!
7 Moving on, Part the Third: Barry Bonds, Barry Schmonds.
8 Moving on, Part the Fourth: Did you ever wonder if Pebbles ended up marrying Bam Bam?
9 Moving on, Part V: My freshmen this year contrast wonderfully with freshmen from past years. For example, MOST of this year's group knew quite well that Shakespeare died. Last year about 60% weren't really too certain. Sharp cookies this year. People ask me all the time what doing activities is like, and very few people have asked about my regular classes.
10 I have a freshmen English 1 class that is brilliant and fun. I have LOVED working with them each morning. At the risk of sounding bloggy, they not only were enthralled by Romeo and Juliet, several stayed after class to catch the end of Mercutio's Queen Mab speech.
11 That's either a nerdy class, or a successful lesson, depending on your perspective. They aren't nerdy, and are just phenomenal students. I don't even mean academically, I just mean they're one of those rare great classes you get every now and again.
12 Sharp cookies, and freshmen.
13 They're the class that during STAR testing, sat while I was trying to run the school bank, the grad tix, as well as around thirty other jobs. This was around two weeks ago, when I received a call from my old pal Sherry LeBeau. Right in the midst of absolute madness a call came in, and I heard Sherry's familiar friendly voice.
14 "Mr. Harrington?"
15 "Yes?"
16 "Are you aware that you have a class right now?"
17 "AW SH#$T!" I shouted to myself. "How long have they been sitting there?" I knew the class was pretty well behaved.
18 "Around 40 minutes."
19 I dashed over, opened the door, and all I saw were smiles and shiny braces.
20 I paused. Beat. I darted my eyes back and forth, then spoke, out of breath.
21 "I'll give you each a dollar if you keep this under your hats!" I said. I really did. They laughed. One kid yelled, "How about ice cream?"
22 We wound up having ice cream last week. I forgot one day, and on another day I remembered, bought everything, but had no bowls. I fined myself each time, adding chocolate syrup, then whipped cream, then cherries.
23 I actually forgot the whipped cream and cherries at home on the day of, so I STILL owe those guys that, and now some caramel.
24 I intend to deliver that on the same day I finally show them Taming of the Shrew.
25 Teaching is still a treat sometimes. I loved it.
26 I loved Bullshot Crummond. I hope the cast and crew understand why I just couldn't get to a party.
27 No pictures today, sorry. AOL once again choked when I needed them, and Mozilla can't do a mass mailing.
28 The computer froze again last night.
29 So we'll just sorta limp to the end of the year when I have a little more time to look into all this.
30 Meanwhile, it was fun sharing some stories about some great kids.
31 And Bullshot, smile this morning. It's your time in the sun.
32 Peace.~H~Another AOL is the SHITS note, 9 p.m. 5-21-07:Still fighting a freezing race with the computer but made strides.So here's today's DN, a little late, but we are finally going in and correcting things.Pardon our dust.Gottago, gotta write tomorrow'sDN!Yippeeeeeee!!!!peace~H~ -

1 This weekend YB does their last three performances of Bullshot Crummond, beginning tonight at 7:30. It goes tomorrow, same time, and even SUNDAY
at 2:30, so go out and support these amazing students, who have somehow kept it all going over there since I declared the Workshop officially dead in October.2 THREE shows.
3 And over at Evergreen, they are doing Arthur Miller's The Crucible tonight and tomorrow night at 7 p.m. You can go see both if you want. I'll be at the YB shows because I'm going to be on the lightboard, something I haven't done in years.
4 Nothing else really jumped out at me for this weekend.
5 I've thoroughly enjoyed Bullshot. Each night has been great fun, so you oughta give it the old college try.
6 Moving on: The Giants seem to have some young guns. I'm lovin' it.7 I went out to a San Jose Giants game the other night with my daughter, the very beautiful Caitlin. We just chilled and watched a pitcher's duel. I think we lost, but I don't really remember, because it was just baseball, and a gorgeous night. And I got to spend it with Caitlin, which is basically golden. What a great way to pass time.
8 Hmmm...
9 Stories I Don't Want to See, Dept.: I can't deal with stories about a whales who can't get back to the ocean, and we get to hear their screams. I never thought it was nice to boil crabs alive and hear them scream either. But we'll be watching that for the next few days, and it'll be sad.
10 They'll politicize it too, blaming Japan and all sorts of other people for hating whales. They already started. I don't really get what that has to do with a couple of wayward whales cruising up the Sac River, or wherever.
11 I just don't want that story. Makes me really sad.
12 Moving on: Mr. Sensitivity.
13 That would be me.
14 Moving on, Part Dos: I think I'm on another diet. I'm never sure, because nowadays every single diet MUST include all the chocolate I can eat.15 For some reason, I'm gaining. And DON'T EVEN say it's because of the chocolate.
16 I have diet chocolate. I don't eat M & M's, I just eat a handful of M's.
17 A coupla years ago I had high blood pressure and was pre-diabetic, so I really should watch the diet. I dieted, worked out, and got the blood pressure under control, and then relaxed a little.
18 But last yesterday the cheerleader coach gave me these chocolate-covered strawbs, and MAYN!!! Not only was the chocolate amazing, but the strawberries were just organically sweet, to the point of smelling pure and wonderful.
19 Shoulda been there.
20 Strawberry Fields.
21 Always with a Beatles reference.
22 That's because I keep playing the Beatles Love, which has its good and bad stuff, but it's great stuff just to drive around to. Yeah, it took a buncha good songs and just turned them into a musical quilt, but it's a nice arrangement, for the most part.23 I give it a C+. But when I'm getting driven nuts, I just pop that CD into the player and I'm well on my way, head in a cloud.
24 The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud.
25 Go see a play.
26 Have a lovely weekend everybody.
27 Peace.

1 It's Good to Have the Both of You Back, Dept: After all that, I was able to get on AOL, which allowed me to retrieve my DN list, so looks like I have each of you back. Don't know if you particularly want to BE back, but welcome back to the good ol' DN.
2 You may delete at leisure, but first, you know you gotta look.
3 It's like craning your neck at a traffic delay.
4 I always see police cars and spinning lights and all the rest, and tell myself, "I refuse to look. I refuse to be like everyone else and rubberneck at some horrible sight. I watched all those safety ed movies, and I just won't be a part of it." At which point I immediately look, just like everyone else.
5 Ah, it's human nature.
6 That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
7 Moving On, Part Deux: Hey, I watched the entire Warrior game the other night...
8 M'bad.
9 Somewhere I read that Utah fans had a shirt that said, "We Be-leaving" but I refused to put it in the DN.
10 Yesterday.
11 Moving on, Once More: Haha, still friends?
12 Bizzy, bizzy, bizzzzzy.
13 I had to help do nearly everything the past two weeks, and at the end of the school year, EVERYONE wants to do one last thing.
14 So I'm also on EVERYONE'S hit list.
15 The other side of it is that they're now on MY list.
16 With all due respect, you don't wanna be on that one.
17 Moving on, Part Tres: I saw Rickie Lake last night on Leno. She looked like she had just crawled out of a lagoon.
18 The sad thing is I didn't know if she looked good or bad. Nowadays losing weight is such a very big deal that a guy with bony elbows and a toothpick nose is the envy of everyone walking about.
19 Rickie du Loc.
20 Leno said that she looked great since she dropped all the weight, so I guess she looked terrific. I think he mentioned she might be going on The View.
21 There's a stable job.
22 Moving on, Part the IV: Conan is talking about orangutans throwing poop. People are laughing like hyenas and clapping.
23 I'm Irish, and I STILL don't see how that guy is considered funny. He seems like he MIGHT be funny if you are sucking the last wet debris from a wine bong.
24 Sort of like Come On Feel the Noise by Quiet Riot. Never quite got that one either.
25 Sounded good once, a long time ago when my neighbors hat a skunk party.
26 My 1/4 Pound Big Bite later that night was Truth.
27 For around twelve seconds. Then I hit a small piece of gravel and something decidedly red hanging in the middle of the meat, and threw it down the drain.
28 I did chase it with some cheap apple juice, and I instantly became Prince Charles, but that was long ago, in a faraway land, nowhere near here.
29 And Finally, Moving on: Meanwhile, it's good to have everyone back. You HAVE to get through this first strange-ass year with me. Graduation is just around the corner, and it's almost impossible to believe.
30 Nothing is real.

32 Well, better go.
33 It's good to have the both of you back.
34 Peace.
