The Cone Zone

Rounding out this day o' laughs, I'll leave you with this golden oldie. A friend sent it to me way back In The Year 2000, when the internet was in its late adolescence. Just page after page of recycled clip art and midi files. Were we ever so young?

Like the internet Conan has sprouted into a powerhouse, waiting in the wings and poised to ascend the late night throne. I don't watch him with anything like the frequency I did a few years back, but I have fond memories going back to early high school. Catching Conesy with sister Liz & brother Bill was a regular date.




It'll be interesting to see what happens to his material when he adjusts to the earlier time slot. It won't make or break my opinion of his comedic integrity, but something tells me the Masturbating Bear may not be welcome among the bluehair set on the West Coast.

Anyway, the speech is fairly long, but it's worthwhile. A veritable humorgy (humor + orgy = humorgy) awaits you. Best line:


You see, in those days I was six feet four inches tall and I weighed 150 pounds. Recently, I had some structural engineers run those numbers into a computer model and, according to the computer, I collapsed in 1987, killing hundreds in Taiwan.

Good night and be cool, my babies.
