On the plus side, a half rack of Keystone probably sets you back about a nickel.

Speaking of which, I am going to tell everyone another story about the incredible depth that our time-wasting skills were honed to in the days of Conan...

One night we were all trapped in the writer's room, trying to fix some shitty bit for the next day's show. I don't remember what we were writing but it was a typical situation where a bit for the next day fell out because someone we were going to make fun of died or whatever, so suddenly we all have to whip up a Clinton Clutch Cargo or fuckall horrible comedy piece. So everyone is in the room trying to finish it and we're tired so no one can write it so we start wasting time and getting punchy and now we REALLY can't write and next thing you know it's 3am. So on one of those nights, Andy Richter was laying back on the couch throwing a rubber ball against a wall. Somehow, in the insanity, people started chanting as the ball hit the wall Niii - gger! Niii - gger! The "Gger" would happen on the impact of the ball. Now, I hope I don't have to point out that we were chanting this because we don't like black people. Sure, it doesn't help that there was no one black in the room, but just take my word for it, the word was chosen because of it's lack of propriety, not because we were racists. Anyway, so andy's throwing the ball and we all chant nigger with each throw and he starts throwing it faster and faster, making us chant faster and faster and soon we're all yelling "Nigger! Nigger!" And andy loses control of the ball but doesn't want to break the pace, so he throws a pillow, then a couch cushion, then he picks up a big chair and, with a grunt, chucks it against the wall as we yell "NiiiiiGGER!". The chair leg went right through, taking out a chunk of drywall about 5 inches around. Then we all laughed really hard and then got VERY DEPRESSED. The room was in stony, ugly silence within seconds.
The hole that the chair made stayed in the wall for a few weeks. It got to be known as "The nigger hole."
Okay, soat some point that none of us noticed or cared about, someone repaired the hole in the wall. Then a few days later, Bob Wright, the president of NBC, came up to tour the Conan offices. He was being led around by Jeff Ross, the producer and there was some delegation of very important guys with him. He peeked into our writer's room as we were all eating lunch there and grimaced at the mess. "Hm. Kind of a mess in there." He said and walked out, but before his heels were even properly out of sight, Dino said, in an indignant and WAY TOO LOUD voice "Well, we fixed the nigger hole at least."

Hey guys, I have an idea. We should have a forum to put the best/funniest threads in so that people don't have to hunt all over and post shit like "does remember that thread where we all photoshopped clown makeup onto rape victims? what happened to that thread i can't find it."

a place to store our favorite memories you might call it!

Basically a forum called "Favorites" where the mods can move good, old threads and close them so no one can post, view only.
