For anyone who doesn’t know, he’s leaving NBC before they can shove the Tonight Show into the 12:05am time slot, which would effectively kill it (Jay Leno is coming back or something). Plus, it’s after 12am, so it would not be the “Tonight” Show anymore. It would be the Tomorrow Show. And that’s just stupid.
BUT they owe Conan something like 50 million dollars for breaking his contract. So yeah, if someone was offered $50 million to go away, it’s pretty obvious what most people would do. Maybe he’ll finally get a new car.
But on to the serious business! A great night at the Horse & Hound last night saw a big first place pot go to People’s Liberation Army of Hood River. Unfortunately, they left like 4 1/2 seconds after they got their money, so I couldn’t snap a picture of them. Instead, here’s a picture of the team with the best name of the night (Prehistoric Chuck-Norrisaurus):

In second came a team name we can all agree is classy: “Black Light Beamin’ for Semen”. Heh, at least it’s funny, once you get it. Taking a not-insubstantial third place was the Pub Team, calling themselves Wenis Prints. Apparently a wenis is a real thing, at least in the Urban Dictionary. It sounds dirty, but it just means the skin of your elbow – though a quick google search says it’s sometimes used as a derogatory slang word. Maybe there are elbow-people? I’m not sure.
A big thanks to everyone who drove through the rain (though it IS Oregon, so don’t pat yourselves on the back). Special shout out to Suzanne for bringing me some Wisconsin cheese. I used some Smoked Cheddar in the omelette I made this morning. And it was delicious.
