	Charlie Sheen; and Institute. PLUS: *the Late Show* bear; Week In Review; a top ten list; Will It Float; and Harold Larkin's Sneak Peek. Dave was having a nice chat with the audience before the show when he suddenly was cut off. He must have forgotten we had a show to put on. So when he takes a seat at the desk after the monologue, he finishes what he started. Dave was driving down the road. In the back seat was little Harry*. In the front with Dave was Harry's mom. They came across some birds along the road; a heron and some little turkeys. As they crossed the road, Dave rolled down the rear window to give Harry a better look-see. Harry was playing with two stuffed animals; "Big Horsey" and "Little Horsey." Seeing the ambling winged-birds walking across the road, Harry throws "Big Horsey" out the window. Dave goes out to retrieve "Big Horsey" and returns it to Harry. Harry, not yet two, says, "Thanks, Dave." Safety First. It's time to put away the Late Show* Bear. It's something we have to do. I think the Stagehand Union has it written into their contract. Putting the Late Show Bear away tonight is our Outdoor Props Coordinator, Ruth Siegel. Ruth does a yeoman job with the bear. Odd thing, though. It wasn't a bear that Ruth was putting away. It was a guy dressed as Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President. What's up? Dave explains, "The bear costume was at the cleaners." There's a guy on the staff who asked Dave if he could have a moment on the show tonight to say a few words. Since we had very little prepared tonight, Dave allowed the request. And who wanted a few minutes? It's Johnny, the oldest CBS Page. Dave: "How are you, Johnny?" Johnny: "Living a dream, Dave, living a friggin' dream." Dave: "Did you have a nice Labor Day, Johnny?" Johnny: "I went to a barbecue at my Uncle Kenny's place." Dave: "That sounds great." Johnny: "Yeah, right up until I ate the clams. Cheap bastard picked up a bushel at Costco." Dave: "Oh, that doesn't sound good." Johnny: "Yeah, you get a couple dozen of those boys in ya and BANGO! Lights out, Peggy! Touch 'em all and don't forget to write. Know what I'm saying, Pedro?" Dave: "Uh, not entirely." Johnny: "Hey, it's cheaper than Scotch! Ha ha." (expecting a rim shot that didn't come) "Hey, Shaffer, who gave you the night off? We're working over here!" Dave: "Now, Johnny, I think people have a natural curiosity about you. Why is it that you've been a Page for nearly 40 years?" Johnny: "I actually tried to get out in 1989. I started a salt water taffy business in Bayonne, New Jersey, but of course right when I get rolling the stock market goes (raspberry sound) . . . 'tits up!' Dave: "I didn't realize the stock market has an effect on salt water taffy sales." Johnny: "Absolutely! Stock market goes (raspberry sound) . . 'tits up!' Salt water taffy goes (raspberry sound) 'tits up!'" Dave: "Is there any way I can get you to stop saying that?" Johnny: "One more for hi-def (raspberry sound) . . . 'tits up!'" Dave: "Johnny, did you happen to have a bad clam tonight?" Johnny: "Ha ha! Good zinger, Peppy!" (turns serious) "I'll see you in the parking lot. Johnny D-Out!" Exits. Dave: "Johnny Dark, CBS's oldest page." Dave is not a bit surprised that Johnny Dark has been a CBS Page for 38 years. "You can tell, he has great people skills." It's now time for the Late Show Week In Review 1. There's a lot of discussion about what to do about America's energy problems. Vice President Cheney has a surprising solution. Announcer: "Dick Cheney recognizes that we need to end our dependence on foreign oil. Therefore, the Vice President proposed making the entire Persian Gulf a new U.S. state called East Virginia, so the oil from that region will be domestic rather than foreign. It'll be easy. They love us over there. Dick Cheney --- still the one!" 2. "Transporter 2" is still a popular film at the box office. It's about a mysterious courier who transports things for the underworld. It seemed like a good idea when the first movie came out, but Dave doesn't think this is a good time for a sequel. We see a promo. Announcer: "Audiences are cheering for the number one movie in America, 'Transporter 2.' The underworld's bravest courier is back to transport anything you need --- just as soon as he finishes waiting in line at the gas station. 'Transporter 2': now playing at theaters everywhere." 3. It's Fashion Week here in New York, so to give you a taste of what it's like, we wanted to bring out a lovely model to show off one of the extravagant styles. Dave welcomes, Jodie Kidd. We see the guest entrance. Enters is our building engineer George Clarke in a stunning off-the-shoulder black evening gown. He stands center stage. George tries to keep from thinking what he looks like; instead thinking about the extra money he's getting paid for this bit. Dave looks at George and says, "You've gone tits up, right?" Dave: "Uhh, George, what the hell are you doing?" George: "Sorry, Dave, Jodie Kidd landed a Chips Ahoy commercial." Dave: "Oh, well, thanks for pitching in." George: "No sweat. If you need me, I'll be at Bungalow 8." Following this, Dave asks us all to think about what we just saw. It was nothing more than a guy in a dress. But it worked for me. Go to the right place in New York City and you'll find a lot of guys in a dress. 4. Criticism continued to swirl around President Bush this week, but to his credit, he's fighting back. We take a look. Announcer: "Responding to criticism surrounding his administration's handling of the hurricane, President Bush has vowed 'we're problem solvers.' This is true. For instance, the problem of Iraq? Solved! The impending Social Security crisis? Solved! Health care? Solved! Staggering deficit? Solved! Putting Osama dead in the ground? Solved! George W. Bush --- Lyin' his ass off since 2000!" 5. A few days ago the International Space Station jettisoned a load of trash and garbage that fell back to earth. NASAS released this footage. We see the International Space Station over the earth. It expels a bulging garbage bag. The garbage bag zooms towards earth. Cut to Larry King doing his show. Suddenly, an explosion and Larry is obliterated, the giant bag of garbage landing on top of him. 6. On Sunday the New York Jests played their first game of the season losing 27-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs. Here with a commentary is our announcer, Alan Kalter. Alan: "Thanks, Dave. All over New York, Jets fans are still reeling from Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. What went wrong? Well, it's easy to blame quarterback Chad Pennington, who fumbled six times and threw a painful interception. And center Kevin Mawae admits he choked on the field. But if you ask this sports fan, the blame falls squarely on the frail, girlish shoulders of the referees. That's right. Those zebra-striped morons were so far up Kansas City's ass, the jets never had a chance. But what do you expect from a bunch of pot-bellied pantywaists who aren't man enough to actually play football?" Off camera, we hear the blowing of a referee's whistle. Cut to the audience. A large, beefy man in a referee uniform bounds on stage. He bellows, "Who you calling a pantywaist?" He then pummels Alan about the head and body. Alan slumps in his chair in incredible pain. The referee exits. . . . . then returns for another pounding of our red-headed show introducer. Alan slumps further down into his chair. Dave: "Thanks, Alan. A fine analysis as always." And that was our Week in Review. WILL IT FLOAT? Still the single-moat popular segment in history of television. This was proclaimed by some organization. Tonight's Item: a 12-ounce plastic bottle of Pepto-Bismol. Easy. Dave says Float. Paul agrees. The Will It Float models drop the 12-ounce plastic bottle of Pepto-Bismol into the Will It Float tank and it . . . . FLOATS! And it was good to see Ms. Grinder back from her gig. And this isn't a gig? TOP TEN: Least Popular Disney Attractions. - Disney opened their newest theme part in Hong Kong this week. #5. Bambi's House of Venison Jerky #4. Thirty Seconds alone with Walt's frozen corpse #3. Billy Joel's Wild Ride CHARLIE SHEEN: Dave believes they first met many years ago as neighbors in California. Charlie isn't sure. Dave knows he met the rest of the family and believes he probably met Charlie as well. Dave doesn't like to pry, but he says the last time Charlie was on our show, things didn't seem to be going so well at home. Now they are just fine. Charlie says he and his wife are working hard at getting back together. Dave is happy to hear that. How big was the fissure? The crevice? Charlie says the "fissure" was significant. Charlie says the breakup was the first time he was dumped in his life. Was he surprised? Charlie says he was at the time but looking back, it was well deserved. Why? Charlie admits, "Well, I was a gigantic ass." And kids were involved. Charlie didn't quite get "kids" or the responsibility involved. He asks, "I mean, who bathes during the 4th quarter of a game? Or in the 9th inning?" Dave says, "You must understand, your life is no longer yours." DING! Dave is right on that, but it does take a while to learn that. In fact, just last week (Sept. 6) I wrote something just like the above. I was talking about wanting to see the Fab Faux perform. I wrote: "As soon as my girls get a little older and I get my life back, I'll be going to the first show I can." Kids. It's all for them. And I'm happy it is. Back to Charlie and his wife walking out; or kicking Charlie out . . I'm not sure. Dave asks, "Were attorneys involved?" Charlie says there were. Dave fearful Dave says, "It's easier to walk in and out of hell with a quart of milk" than to fix a marriage once the attorneys get involved. But Charlie and his wife seem to be on the right track. Thinks better now? Charlie says they are. Dave advises, "The hardest thing to do is change human behavior." Dave shares that after his heart attack, he was told to give up cigars and Pringles. At the time, Dave swore he would give 'em up. But jump ahead a few months and it's cigars and Pringles on the back porch! Charlie Sheen's "Two and a Half Men" is in the Monday night CBS power position, taking over for the "Raymond." Check it out. Monday's at 9:00. HAROLD LARKIN'S SILVER SCREEN SNEAK PEEK Harold: "Thanks, Dave. Today I'll be giving you a sneak peek at the new Nicolas Cage film, 'Lord of War.' 'Lord of War' tells the harrowing tale of a lord and a war. The film is unpredictable, just like most warlords. Nicolas Cage delivers another terrific performance, arguably one of the cagiest of this career. Is 'Lord of War' any good? I'll let you be the judge. Back to you, Dave. Dave: "Harold, that didn't make much sense. Did you see the movie? Harold: "No. It opens Friday and we tape this show on Monday. Dave: "Thanks, Harold." ACT 5: It's time for the Late Show Number Scramble. (numbers 4 5 7 9 appear on the screen) Can you unscramble these numbers to come up with the correct answer? (the numbers scramble, then stop at 5,749) Did you get it? If you guessed 5,749, you're correct! Congratulations, and stay tuned for the next Late Show Number Scramble. Keep it real, America!" INSTITUTE: From their CD, "Distort Yourself," Institute performed "Bulletproof Skin." Dave and Paul enjoyed the Institute. Dave calls it "big time rock and roll." Paul describes the band as being "tighter than a mosquito's ass stretched out over a . . . ." then fades off. Whatever, it can't get much tighter than that. And that was our show for Thursday, September 15, 2005. Wahoo EXTRA! Hey! That looked like a Friday show! What was it doing on Thursday? I'm not sure but I think it had to do with the President's speech and our being delayed. We didn't want you to miss Ted Turner's for visit with Dave in over two decades. He's now on Friday. The other day I was asking for "pop" vs. "soda." During the back and forth, I discovered some Wisconsinites call their water fountains, "bubblers." Adam Skoglund of Woodbury, Minnesota writes: "As a (thankfully) former Wisconsin resident, I can say I've heard 'bubbler' only once in my life, and that was someone talking about a drinking fountain. Lived in western Wisconsin for two years, and traveled around the state a decent amount just last summer, but only once have I heard 'bubbler.' Since I brought it up, any chance I can get you to investigate what water fountains are called elsewhere? That was the first and only time I ever heard 'bubbler.'" Mary Jo Field of Madison, Wisconsin writes: "Bubbler: came from a title given by the Kohler Company, a Wisconsin-based plumbing fixtures manufacturer, to market its drinking fountain. The Bubbler model became just a bubbler, same as tissue became kleenex, or for some, pop became coke." And what do you call a water fountain, other than a "germ dispenser"? Hey! The Big Screen Classics are back! Old movies at my favorite movie theater in the world, The Lafayette Theater in Suffern, New York. Here is the lineup this fall. Any suggestions?
