   Aaron,
      That was fabulously funny.  The guy brings on a parrot (or similar--
 don't kill me bird-lovers) and has a bicycle with a stand on it.  While he
 is chatting to Dave  about the bird and its name, he is unfolding a plastic
 bullseye he pulled from his pocket.  Still talking to Dave, he puts the 
 target on the floor in front of him, holds the bird at shoulder level and
 says, "Plotz."  The bird shits on command.  Dave walks off the set amid
 comments of, "That is the LAST stupid pet trick" or some such.
     THe bird-owner said that such birds can be trained to so such if you
 remember that they need to drop a load often(i think he said 30 mins).

On the contrary he gets the best! The most unsynthetic, and the ones who

Does anybody remember the letter where someone asked "Dave, do you remember
your first time?"  (This episode was right after the final Carson Tonight
Show, btw)

Anyway, he had flashback where he and Paul were drinking coffee and it was
a parody of the "Jean Luc" Maxwell House (I think) commercial.

They finished it by saying "Do you think anybody ever found out where we
buried him?"

Truly one of the funniest things they've ever done.

Yeah... the Calvert DeForest Tour of Good Will was a classic, but I
think my favorite Larry "Bud" Melman spot has to be a tossup between
Larry "Bud" Headroom and the times he appeared dressed as Roy Orbison
and when anybody said "Larry, you look like Roy Orbison"  Larry would

[Shawn recalls Dave's lack of fear while shooting the locomotive skit]

To recap, Dave went on location to a trainyard, and piled a bunch of stuff
(can't exactly figure out what it was) on the tracks, card house style;
the camera shows Dave leaving to the left, and a locomotive _barrels_ through
the pile, missing Dave by inches.  I couldn't figure this one out; was Dave
actually stupid enough to be _that_ close to this speeding train?  If you
single-step (!!!) through the sequence, there are two or three frames in
which Dave's right(?) foot disappears; you're actually looking at two images,
one of Dave walking away from the tracks, and one of the train; they slowly
wipe from right to left, between Dave and the train.  They then cut to a close-
up of the train smashing through the pile o' stuff. If you have a tape of
the 10th Anniversary Show, it's in one of those "going to/returning from 
a commercial" montages.

You might be on to something here.  In the old days, the term "L7" was used
to describe someone or something that was considered unhip or "square".
If you push the "L" and the "7" together, they form a square.  But you knew

The Science Teacher guy (name's Lee Merritt?) is great.  Remember one of his
earlier appearances where he had to use a fire extinguisher in one of his
experiments?  He somehow got Dave pissed off earlier in the demonstration
so Dave spent the remaining time blowing CO2 at the Science Teacher from
the extinguisher.  It was kind of mean, but I couldn't help laughing (and
feeling kinda sorry for the guy).

When watching last night, I couldn't help but remember the Dangerous Toys
segment.  They had developed a half dozen truly dangerous "toys," of which
I remember only two (and only one clearly).  Wasn't there a gun that fired
off rotary saw blades?

The best however was the motor driven chair with flamethrower and pencil
launcher.  Except for the pencil launcher, the thing really worked!  It
was terrific watching Dave drive around destroying stuff on the set.

Not necessarily.  There was one on this last Friday that was dated

I hate to break it to you, but people who do this, don't actually swallow
anything!  It is a trick.  The sound effects and the swallowing motions are
all part of the act.  These guys produce a great effect, but it just isn't
physically possible to swallow a light bulb whole!

I don't know how the trick is done, but I would assume that it involves
some sleight of hand, and distraction (makes you look at one place, while
the action is happening at another place), i.e. standard magician tricks...
