“Crazy Expensive” Comedy Bits by Conan

God, I love Conan. Evil Genius? Comedy Genius? Boy Genius? Yes.

On Wednesday night, O'Brien decided to hit the network where it hurts the most -- its wallet -- by rolling out a "crazy-expensive" comedy bit in the form a "Bugatti Veyron mouse."

Two Toots Railroad Restaurant

While in the 'burbs of Chicago we visited a neat little train-themed restaurant called 2 Toots. The restaurant has model trains running through the dining area to bring food out from the kitchen, which would be reason enough to visit again. But what I really love about this restaurant are the burgers (pressed thin so that the edges get crisp) and the milkshakes (thick, creamy, served in metal mixing cup). Delicious!

Libby in the Dryer

Don't call child protective services - we only tumbled her on the "low" setting:

In reality Shannon was doing one of the 423 loads of laundry she does each week when Libby gleefully jumped in for the first (and last) time.

Thanks Alison, Matt, and Ethan

We spent the last few days invading Matt and Alison's house and were sad to leave (even though we probably overstayed our welcome :) ). Here Libby is giving Ethan one last hug before departing:

I'll post a few more pics over this week from other activities we did.

Leno Says Conan Can Have ‘Tonight Show’

.. the only catch? It was 2004. I wish we had the old 2004 Jay Leno back:

Man, Leno was so classy back then.
