    a daily syndicated horoscope column
 5) They kept hot drinks hot, cool drinks cool
 4) They made fun of Roman soldiers wearing skirts
 3) They sometimes worshipped a giant statue of Ray Charles
 2) They claimed to be "born to lose"
 1) They died out in the early fifth century / They partied like it was 1999

Subject: Ted Williams
Date: 22 Jan 93 09:14:57 GMT
Organization: University of California, Berkeley
NNTP-Posting-Host: violet.berkeley.edu

Since Ted Williams rarely makes TV appearances, here are some notes to
help appreciate a person who some have argued is the greatest hitter
who ever lived.

He had a mild stroke about a year or so ago.  It looks like he's apparently
fully recovered from it.

He's a Big Bush supporter.  It's a little ironic that he appeared on the
day of Clinton's inaugural.

He wasn't wearing a tie.  He has never wore one, even when Bush awarded
him a medal last year.

The line about "everybody but the symphony orchestra was on the right side
of the infield" was referring to what was known as the "Williams Shift"
that every team used because of where he hit the ball.

Williams wasn't in the Army as Letterman said but the Marines.  He
was a carrier fighter pilot in WWII and Korea.

He was on the Boston Red Sox from 1939 to 1960, losing about 4 1/2 seasons
to the wars.  He began with the hometown AAA San Diego Padres of the
Pacific Coast League in 1936 when he was 17.  He had had no previous
pro experience.

Regarding his vision, it was measured as 60-20 when he enlisted and it
was said he could read the label on a spinning record and see the seam
on a pitched ball.  He didn't like to make too much of it, though, since
he thought it unfair to use as an explanation of his hitting talent.

Some stats:
Career batting average: .344, 6th highest behind Ty Cobb: .367,
Rogers Hornsby: .358, Joe Jackson: .356, Wade Boggs: .352 (not current),
and Ed Delahanty: .346

Career home runs: 521, tenth highest.
Career on base average: .483, first.
Hit .406 in 1941.  Last player to hit over .400, only the seventh since 1900.
Closest since Williams was George Brett's .390 in 1980.

Williams hit .388 in 1957 when he was 39 and .316 in 1960, his last year.
He hit a homerun in his last at bat.  Only once did he ever hit below .316
when in 1959 he hit .254, during a season in which he suffered from a pinched
nerve in his neck.

I think Dave has been using that "Oprah--she has ALL the money" line
for at least two years or so.  I thought it was a comment he overheard 
on the streets of New York, got it stuck in his brain, and felt
compelled to repeat over and over whenever the subject of Oprah or
money came up.  Most times he says that line he uses a particular
voice (not his generic Dumb Guy).  I don't know of a more specific source 
than that, but I think that line entered Dave's repertoire long before the 
of post-prime talk show wars peaked.

Wrong! He did: there was a home run, and Michaels called the shot,
then said: "Or as David Letterman would want us to say: Elvis has
left the building!"

So Dave got his wish after all. I, for one, didn't expect Michaels
to do it. But he really did.

Me too!!  Oh man, the Gold Cart of Death!  Remember the one with the

the rest of the show covered in and smelling like that stuff!  Though it

I wonder if there will be any places to call from Dave's new studio. It's
always funny when Dave calls the pay phones and when he calls across the
street. If he leaves New York it won't be so easy for Regis to drop by in a
Santa suit or whatever. Does anyone know when and why Dave started saying
"Oprah has all the money!"?

Best I can do for you is go back to that Siskel/Ebert interview on the
night Dave announced the CBS deal.  S&E invited Dave to move his show
to Chicago, and Dave said that S&E and Oprah really ran that town.  Then
the skinny one (Siskel, I think) said it was them, Oprah and Mike Ditka,
but now Ditka was gone.   So Dave sat there, chuckled and kept reapeating
"You guys and Oprah," "You guys and Oprah."  It might've re-sparked his
interest in the People mag story on OW.  Or maybe we're reading too much
into this.  Hmmmmmm.

Except, of course, when Dave does it on purpose for a laugh.  Like

I, unfortunatly, watched the movie which had LEEEEEN-DA in it.  Kathy Ireland was in
the movie, but was NOT LEEEEEN-DA.  LEEEEEN-DA was a native girl, but Kathy Ireland
had the role of swimsuit model stranded on this strange island.  I think the TV movie

Lorne was very nice about letting Dennis do his own show.  Soon after he left,
Lorne produced the Paul Simon Concert in Central Park show for HBO, starring

We get Almost Live up here in SUNNY Vancouver, British Columbia, on a
Bellingham, WA station.  John Keister replaced Ross Sheafer and in recent
years the show has gotten so good it makes Saturday Night Live (which follows
it on the same station) look almost pathetic.

MORE reasons to watch Almost Live!

a) On a Saturday, even the 11:30 timeslot won't conflict with the New Dave
b) MIND YOUR MANNERS WITH BILLY QUAN!!!!! (or he'll twist yer arm off)
c) The Ineffectual Middle Management Suck-Ups
d) Jet-Guy (hilarious spoof of The Rocketeer)
e) SPEED-WALKER!!!
f) The High-Fivin' White Guys! (All right!)
g) Uncle Fran's Musical Forest ("Uncle" is cynical and nasty)
h) Constant bashing of Microsoft and Boeing (both Seattle companies)
   eg: Micro-Cuts (look like Billy Gates)
       Date With a Boeing Engineer (the ultimate horror movie)

Hey, I love Dave as much as the next intelligent insomniac, but Almost Live
approaches that level and sometimes exceeds it-- it almost certainly beats
out SNL most weeks.

Summary: how would miller react?


In the wake of the Jennifer Tilly uproar, someone asked how Dennis Miller
would react to her.  Your answer is this:

When she appeared on his show and behaved the same way, he did his best to
get through the "interview" and then, once they'd come back from the
commercial and she was no longer on stage, commented "that's the easiest
interview I've ever done; one question and I get ten minutes of Lolita on
thorazine."

So there you go...
