Ripping off David Letterman since 1994

September 24, 1998

~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Today's guest moderator is Peter Bauer, who edits computer training manuals
in real life, and who claims being a Top 5 contributor as "his life's
highlight" (pretty pathetic when you think about it). Peter would like
to tell all the teachers he's ever had who told him to quit clowning around:
"Nyahh nyahhh nyahhhhh!" He'd like to, but he can't write.
