One aired around the time Dave picked repeatedly on Phil Collins for
recording the song "Sussudio."  Phil Collins was on the show that
night, and the pre-theme skit showed Collins trying to write a song
while Larry "Bud" hammers together a birdhouse.  Dave asks Collins how
the songwriting is coming; Collins announces that he's blocked and
can't think of a line.  Larry "Bud" suddenly hammers his thumb and
yells, "Aie aie aie!  Homina homina!  Su-ssu-ssudio!"  Phil Collins
smiles as if struck by an inspiration, and starts writing again.

Actually, his name's Lee Marek and he's a high school Chemistry teacher. He

Incidentally, don't feel too sorry for Lee Marek. He just loves doing that

Yeah, my bird poops on command.  It's a bit hard to train them not to
poop at random times, but shitting on command is easy.  It's a bit like
giving a dog the "speak" command.  They usually will, but it's hard to
keep them quiet at other times of the day.

OB Letterman:  speaking of dogs, what ever happened to Bob and Stan?  I
guess they got old and were put to sleep, but it seems like they
vanished at the same time.  Could it be that Merill got custody of them?

Anybody remember the story about Stan (who I named my bird after, BTW)
when he ate some rancid meat and Dave had to make him vomit by pouring
peroxide down his throat.  Then, when Dave went to go wash up, Stan was
left to eat his own vomit again?  (Dave tells it better, of course)

Hey kids--
(aaaaugh! I have just made the transition from lurker to poster in *yet
another newsgroup*! I am becoming a usenet junkie! aaaaugh! anyway...)

L7 is from Seattle.  Good band, despite that fact (I live too close to the
"Seattle Music Scene (TM)" to be overly impressed with it).  They come
from the same independent label (SubPop) that spawned practically every
other SeattleBand (TM) including Nirvana (TM).  I suspect that the
stage-bashing may have been a response to Nirvana's stage-bashing on
Saturday Night Live (which I recall being quite a scandal, *tight-lipped
scowl*)...I generally think L7 is above that, or at least if I recall the
concert I saw quite awhile ago.  Incidentally, on the aforementioned SNL
Nirvana performance, one of the Nirvanans (I forget which) was wearing an
L7/SubPop t-shirt in the curtain call.

Up until that episode, my brother and I would stop plastic fans with our

the blades are spinning).  Well now I stop fans with my tongue as well.
It hurts after about 5 times doing it, although with metal blades I guess

I rarely ever watch Letterman because I want to see a certain guest.
Dave's so great he doesn't need famous guests to get his audience.
He has more of a comedy show than a 'talk' show. If you want a kiss

When he said to Dave, "Barbara Bush pinched me on the ass!" (or something
like that), I lost it.  Larry's great.

My favorite recent gag was the edible plunger.  Dave used it in one of his
bits of comedy, then gave it to Anton Figg's father, who was in the
audience.  His father then actually took a bite out of the plunger, and
passed it along.  So we saw the edible plunger being passed around, with
audience members taking bites out of it.  I was literally incapacitated with
laughter while (and for several minutes after) watching this...

Anyway, does anyone else but me think that no matter what network 
Dave ends up on, he should keep his time slot? Not that Arsenio or
Leno would be any sort of a challenge, but Dave needs to be able to

Naw.  The only "other races" on Trek (except for the occasional

It's one of my gripes with the show.

I remember one time when Letterman was up there in his opening mono. and
he was remarking about a memo from NBC Standards and Practices.  He said
that a memo was issued telling the on-air people not to use the word
'Johnson' (subculture slang for penis) on the air.  Letterman, of course,
used the term >10 times or so as he spoke.  The camera cut to Paul and he
said words to the effect of '.. I don't see what's wrong with saying
Johnson, unless you're talking about your {dick}.'  The word 'dick' was
quite recognizable, although it was cut out of the audio track.
