THE RAMBLINGS
============

<> Mulligan's always money in the bank, I tell ya.
<> I'm enjoying the color of Rickles' jacket there.  <> I saw part of
"Regis and Kelly" this morning, and their "Travel Trivia" phone contestant
was from Montana.  Regis proceeded to ask if she lived near Dave, and she
said, with a "uh, duh" kind of tone in her voice, "Um, I don't think David
Letterman *lives* in Montana" ... anyways, Regis pointed out that Daddy
owns a ranch, or what not, and half-jokingly claimed they were gonna go on
a vacation there together sometime.
<> Weird; I started watching tonight's show at 12:37, and ended at 1:37 ...
I guess I paused and rewound things enough to balance the time I saved with
fast forwarding through commercials.  Hmm.

=========
THE QUOTES
=========

<> "You could read the price tag on her bra!"
<> "Hal hasn't worked here in six years."
<> "When you get to prison, your ass is mine, Winona."
<> "Jews don't have Halloween; we sell the candy!"

=======================================
RANDOM UNEXPLAINED "NAME-DROP" OF THE DAY
=======================================

<> I spoke to Art today on the telephone.  You know, "The Late Show" ...
"please hold" ... that guy. No details, just the facts.  Nice guy, he is.

=========
THE CLOSER
=========

<> Decent show tonight ... Mailbag was feh, Rickles was amusing, Gaffigan
was forgettable-hell, I've forgotten his set, and I finished the show 4
minutes ago.  Clearly not the best show of the week, but not bad for a
Friday show, and a superb week overall.  Until Monday,
