Yeah, i had already downloaded that one as well! I had no idea. I have a buddy living in Germany (Munich) and he told me that American talk shows are not that really popular in Europe....

Conan popular? Well, Gurj... you did notice all of those post cards, didn't you? Laho, that doesn't neccesarly mean much. It is always possilble with these types of shows here that the post-cards and letters were contrived.... damn funny though!

Well, these are the real thing. Actually, there is a site in web where you can sign your name if you've sent Conan a card, and encourage the others to send him more cards.

With the traditional Finnish Midsummer creeping in, I realized that you guys might need some practice. 223 meters this far.

Towards the end of the golf course, Dave hit his ball into the woods and found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the patch. All of a sudden.....POOF!! In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared. She said, "I'm Mother Nature! Do you know how long it tookme to make those buttercups? Just for doing what you have done, you won't have any butter for your popcorn for the rest of your life: better still, you won't have any butter for your toast for the rest of your life....... As a matter of fact, you'll never have any butter for anything the rest of your life! Then POOF!......she was gone! After Dave recovered from the shock, he hollered for his friend, "Fred, where are you?" Fred yells back "I'm over here in the pussy willows." Dave shouts back, "DON'T SWING, Fred; for the love of God, DON'T SWING!!"

I'm sure a few of you have already heard this one but here is an actual conversation... This is an actual radio conversation between a United States Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast off Newfoundland in October 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 as authorised by the Freedom of Information Act.)
CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
AMERICANS: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
CANADIANS: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.
AMERICANS: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln. The second largest ship in the United States Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers, and numerous support vessels. I demand that you change your course15 degrees north... I say again...That's one-five degrees north.... or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship!
CANADIANS: We are a lighthouse. Your call

Homer walks into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. He sits down next to this blonde at the bar and stares up at the TV.
The 10:00 news was on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump. The blonde looks at Homer and says, " Do you think he will jump?"
Homer says, "You know, I bet he'll jump." The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't." Homer placed $20 dollars on the bar and said, "You're on!" Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset and handed her $20 dollars to Homer and said, "All is fair. Here is your money."
Homer replies, " I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump." The blonde replies, "I did too, but I didn't think he'd do it again."

The manifesto of men
Mistress, miss, girl-friend, fiancee, broad, wife and all other women
When you think you are fat you'll probably be it. Don't ask. I'll refuse to answer.
When you want something, it suffices if you simply ask. Just to clarify: We are simple. We don't understand subtly, indirect questions. Indirect questions don't work. Like those obvious indirect questions too. Just say it as it is.
When you are asking a question considering no answer don't be surprised when you are getting an answer you didn't want to hear.
We are SIMPLE. When I ask you to hand over the bread I don't mean anything else. It's not a reproach that it's not standing on the table. There are neither hidden hints nor reproaches. We are really SIMPLE.
We are SIMPLE. There's no sense in asking me what I think. 96,5% of all time men think about Sex. No, we aren't obsessed. It's simply the thing that pleases us most.
We are SIMPLE. Sometimes I don't think about you. It's not bad. Get used to it. Don't ask what I'm thinking unless you want to talk about politics, economy, philosophy, boozing, tits, butts or cars.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday = guzzle a lot= Friends = hockey on TV = Beer = bad manners. It's like full moon or ebb tide and flow. It's inevitable!
Shopping isn't fun and I will never like it.
When we go somewhere, no matter what you wear. It suits you. I swear.
You have enough clothes and shoes. Crying is blackmailing! To ruin myself is no proof of love to you.
Most men have three pair of shoes. I repeat: WE ARE SIMPLE. How can you even think about that I would know which of your 30 pairs fits best with your outfit?
Simple answers like yes or no are really sufficient, no matter what is asked!
When you have a problem please only ask me to solve it. Don't ask me to ommiserate you like your friends do.
Headaches that last for 8 weeks aren't headaches! Go to the doctor!
When I say something that you can understand in two ways and of them is disturbing you or making you unhappy - then I mean the other thing!
ALL men can see only 16 Colors. Peach is a fruit, not a color!
And what the hell for a color is that apriko(tt)? And how do spell that?
WE LIKE BEER like you like handbags. You don't understand we do either.
When I ask you: What's up? And you reply "Nothing!" I will believe you and will behave like everything is ok!
Don't ask: Do you like me? You can be sure about that. I wont be with you if it wouldn't be true!
The basic rule in case of any doubt: Take the easiest decision.
WE ARE REALLY SIMPLE!!!!
