      - Then I can blame you for this headache? -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:38
    - I'm sort of picturing Conan fighting for Richter to be on the show -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 08:31 2
      - Ditto. And I think they'll do some of the couch stuff in the future. - Beryllium Jun 2, 08:32 1
        
        They have to, IMO -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 08:33
- Liked it. I'm wondering how long it will take Conan to refer to the "Tonight Show Band" as the "Max Weinberg 7". -- nm - Ender Jun 2, 08:18 7
  - It's not the Max Weinberg Seven??? - con_carne Jun 2, 08:19 6
    - It's the same people, plus the barefoot guy who used to fill in for Max, they're just not called the "Max Weinberg 7". -- nm - Ender Jun 2, 08:21 1
      - Nice. I have to check this out. -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 08:24
    - It is the Max Weinberg 7, but is *is* the Tonight Show Band. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:20 3
      - And it is not Andy, it *is* Ed. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:21 2
        
        The unfortunate part is that as part of the contract Andy had to have his house foreclosed on. -- nm - Ender Jun 2, 08:22 1
        
        *ba-dum-shsh* ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 08:32
- I liked the opening a lot. I liked Will Ferrell. I like Conan's taped bits. I still find his monologue and jumping around really annoying. - pmb Jun 2, 08:17 3
  - Ferguson is very Conan'ish for me. Rough around the edges, but fantastic overall. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:31 1
    - They both use their bloopers as sources of comedy -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 08:33

- Or a smart SOB. -- nm - psilotum Jun 2, 08:14 1
  - If he was smart, he would have billed $10 -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 08:14

- I *heart* my credit union. -- nm - psilotum Jun 2, 08:17

heh, mcdonalds has told its employees to fill cups with more ice to lower the cost of teh $1 drinks this summer. - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:03 17
- Considering soft drinks have the highest profit margin in restaurants this is pretty stupid -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 08:06 3
  - sure, but when you basically offer something at a 50% discount, you miss your old profit margin. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:10 2
    - True, I get that, but the margin is still extremely high on those drinks -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 08:11 1
      - sure, but they are just greedy. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:11
- It's been a while since I've seen a McD's where I don't get to dispense the drink -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 08:05 3
  - I don't know if I've ever seen one where I got to pour my own drink -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 08:35 1
    - ... in Canada, at least. The one in the MGM in Vegas was self-serve. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 08:36
  - Drive-up. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:05
- SEE?!?!?!?! -- nm - Will si Jun 2, 08:05 2
  - I feel vindication. It already comes from a chilled machine. No ice is the way to go. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:12 1
    - :) -- nm - kelly Jun 2, 08:21
- Yeah, especially in the styrofoam cup I always ask for light ice. Plus, inside you make your own. BK has lines printed on the outside of the cup. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:05 5
  - yeah, these instructions are probably more for the Drive thru window -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:05 4
    - I know, Spawn sheesh! It's the drive-up window, duh! -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 08:06 3
      - I am dumb. - Spawn Jun 2, 08:08 2

note, the car trade in story, I think that it is a government voucher, which the dealer can turn in, not money in your pocket, but two different - tRuMaN Jun 2, 07:38 18
- also, dont forget that if you buy a new car, you can deduct the sales tax on that purcahse on your federal tax return - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:11
- that'll clean up many front yeards in the south - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 07:59
- [deleted] 14
  - maybe, but since they have no value to the dealer (they are being paid $4500 to scrap them) the effect isnt that big. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 07:46 13
    - if your SUV is worth less than 4500 it is a big deal. - groiny Jun 2, 07:47 12

        see you are doing a service for the enviroment. - groiny Jun 2, 07:57
      - sure, but you have to buy a new car to get that voucher, and that means you have to be able to afford a new car, which puts a lot of people with - tRuMaN Jun 2, 07:48 3
        
        See, I buy a clunker for $500 then trade it in for a new covertible. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 07:49 2
