Eating innards and liking it is something you either learn as a child or not at all a friend of mine once said. And he's right: I tried Haggis in an Edinburgh restaurant (actually a fancy place) for the first time about a year ago and it tasted great. Recommended. Like all folksy recipes it is probably very much down with how much love it has been prepared. 

But if you are from a well-to-do family like Dave is where eating innards was frowned upon ...

Next week, class, we'll learn about the enjoyment of eating humble pie, another innards dish, this time prepared from game.

Well-to-do? Tell me more. Is there a family fortune somewhere I missed hearing about?

Best description of oatmeal I heard was that it tastes like something someone ate and regurgitated. Who knows, maybe the innards would make the taste palatable.

Hard to say without knowing the club's overhead. OTOH set cover too high and you lose too.

I am still annoyed that NBC yanked Tom Snyder off to make room for Letterman.

Feeling our age, are we?

Still annoyed that your horse and buggy got replaced by those newfangled horseless carriages?

I thought the Ritter gig bag company was Swiss, not British.

Of course the Swiss would never be involved in international finance.  :-X

News this AM says that the Washington Generals (the team that plays the Harlem Globetrotters) has offered the 6'5" Conan a gig playing with the Generals until he can return to TV.

That would be hilarious, and it would be great publicity for all of them.

Nice positioning of reverse and nonreverse.

Is the bottom center the one you bought that had half the body broken off?

Rob, I'm sure you can do something at your end about the VAT. I just got a guitar DVD from a company in Eindhoven, 19% VAT was listed in the cost but not charged to US customers.

Beefy, but not overwound or distorted.

US to lift 21-year ban on haggis

Still sounds revolting to me.

OTOH, this survey claims that 26% of kids in the UK think bacon comes from sheep, and 29% think oats grow on trees.

One thing I havn't seen anyone address is that Jay Leno has talked about retiring before, doesn't it seem short sighted of NBC to send Conan up the river when Leno probably only has a few years left in him before he wants to retire anyway?

Personally I think Leno should have just retired when all this became a big mess.

Dunno the truth to this but I heard a rumor that Conan's contract/leaving settlement disallows him to host a show for x  amount of months. I heard they may start up a new show before that time is up and until Conan's contractual obligation finishes Andy will host the show and Conan will be his sidekick so they can get back on the air sooner. I hope that's true.  :)

I don't think Leno is anywhere near retiring. He did talk about "retiring" from the Tonight Show 5 years ago, but that's just the way things were said instead of the truth, that NBC was taking it away from Jay 5 years down the road in order to keep Conan from going to ABC.

I don't see why Leno should retire, he was #1 in the late night ratings and will probably do well when he returns. The people who say they won't watch him now are probably the people who don't find him funny and didn't watch him anyway.

As George said, Conan can't host a show until September 1st. I think the part about Andy hosting until then was a joke, but you never know.

As for me, I'll keep on watching Letterman's monologue and occasionally watch Conan or Jay if they have a guest I want to see.

And. . . .  for the unwashed. . .  Who are Conan and Fallon??? 8)

Conan O'Brien, longtime host of NBC's Late Night, and Jimmy Fallon, comic who took his place seven months ago when Conan moved to the Tonight Show. Conan has just left the Tonight Show and NBC after a big row and big financial settlement.

The OP REALLY needs to post this on TB.  Just like in the cartoons:

"If I dood it, I get a whuppin'.  I dood it."

First somebody needs to photoshop the diamond Ritter into the pic. Then PM the guy who got upset.
