So, who's not with Co-Co?

So it seems everyone is on Conan's side and they have a right to be. I also think he's a better entertainer and that NBC is giving him the shaft. I follow one of the members of Hawk Nelson's blog and this is what he had to say:

"Today, the news broke that NBC is paying Conan a severance package of $32 million dollars, and his staff another $12 million.

So, let's get this straight.... NBC spent MILLIONS developing two new shows (Leno's new primetime show, and Conan's Tonight Show), then pays Conan MILLIONS more to leave the network, so they can go back to what they had before, except with Fallon in Conan's old slot. Fallon's great, but he's no Conan. So they've essentially paid millions and millions to DOWNGRADE their lineup.

Plus, they've paid Conan millions to leave, and he will most likely start a new show at some point. That means they paid MILLIONS, downgraded their lineup, and created a new competitor.... all the while making themselves look like the bad guys, and making Conan look like the witty, charming victim.

After all, he never REALLY got a chance at the Tonight Show. When you replace someone, and your predecessor refuses to leave entirely, you haven't really replaced them. People that were used to watching the Tonight Show with Leno simply watched Leno in primetime. They never had an incentive to get to know Conan. I firmly believe that if Conan had been given the years and grace that Leno was given when he started, the mainstream late night audience would have grown more fond of Conan. The Tonight Show would have continued to be the most-watched of the late night shows, like it's been for most of it's 60 years."

Way to sum it all up.

Ha!

Ken and I had the same thought.

It's time for another round of The Caption Game

Here's mine: "At least I was having a good hair day"

Fun with customers 2

An 8-year-old boy walks up to our front counter and orders a suicide drink. As the lady who took his order is making it she says, "Aren't you a little young for mixed drinks?"

Without missing a beat, but clearly not understanding what she's talking about he responds, "No, I've been drinking them for years!"

Interesting things found in Chick-fil-A #763

As I was sweeping the parking lot this morning, I came across a plastic Barbie leg. A few feet away was an arm...and another leg and arm...and two halves of a body. I never found the head though

Fun with customers at Chick-fil-A

At the drive-thru:

Me: "Would you like some sauce for you nuggets?"
Customer: "Yeah, can I have a couple of Arby's sauces?"

Perhaps I misunderstood him. "I'm sorry, what?"
"A couple of Arby's sauces."

We look at each other for a few awkward moments; then it clicks.
"I mean Chick-fil-A sauce."

He drives away and I chuckle.
