It's nerdy how much the title of this blog makes me giggle :) That is really rather astounding. 9 years!
That's about 8 years and 11 months longer than most celebrity marriages. I think that means someone on staff legally has to marry it. (Dont even attempt to follow my twisted logic)
If noone there will do I will marry the bottle but I may need to visit in the office... everyday. :)
Oh and I waited for an hour but never saw Simon. If it werent for the fact that I saw Jackie Chan and I've only 5 and a half days until I see the show live (3 by the time you read this) I would be inconsolably depressed right now.
Hope you had an awecellent weekend :)

Aaron Responds: Oh yeah! I'm worried that Senor Clamato might already be married, but I don't see him wearing a ring...

I like the part that says "new! easy grip plastic bottle" because to me it implies that this is popular enough to warrant making a new type of bottle. It doesn't sound that appetizing.

Aaron, I was depressed tonight and wanted to cry myself to sleep, but instead I popped in my tape of Conan episodes and rewatched some of my favorite sketches. It seriously helped. I've seen the Harland Williams interview three times today already. Thanks to Conan Christopher O'Brien and Late Night. Again, keeping me laughing and sane in life. I really, really appreciate it.

************************************************************
Aaron Responds: No problem, INOL!!! Glad to be of service! I love Harland... That guy is one of a kind! It's always a hoot when he stops by.

I agree with you about the bottle! Hilarious! Like they thought that their lack in sales might be due to the fact that they had a slippery bottle that no one could use! Awesome.

It sounds grose, but you can actually make one of the best bloody marys you've had with it; just use it in place of tomato juice. That's probably why French Stewart had it, and you should go out and buy a new bottle and make one up---don't knock it til you've tried it!

************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Fair enough, Sandy. Fair enough. I mean, there MUST be people out there who drink it, because they're still making it!

However, there is one flaw in your plan: I FIND BLOODYS MARYS TO BE EXACTLY LIKE DRINKING DISGUSTING SPICY VOMIT. And no one likes drinking spicy vomit (regular "Old World Style" vomit is fine, but when it gets spicy it gets nasty). Yeah. So I won't be trying Clamato any time soon... But if you drink it, you have earned my respect!!

dearest beloved Aaron, :D

I had a feeling you were on, then saw the sudden posts... ESP? BOOOOOO!

I do love a spicy bloody Mary. I have eaten raw claws/oysters with hot cocktail sauce so maybe, it wouldn't be so bad to drink?
Besides, love, aren't raw oysters suppose to be an aphrodisiac? I don't see it but maybe that clamato would serve two purposes. Pleassse send me a bottle.
I might need it one day...j/k

Funny, you know some french? In High school school I studied French and not Spanish. I sort of regret that.

Late Night show, I love the Jane Austin novels, but I relate more to the Bronte sisters... I know who cares?? LOL -- so I am definitely going to see that movie.

I need to go back a bit, I remember Conan licking a small rock so well, kinky-lol, then sucking on his sock and tasting dirt and chewing grass to get the cleansing effect before testing wine, according to Wine Expert Gary Vaynerchuk (8/1/07)
I loved that bit.... it was so unexpected and strangely hot, funny but not gross to watch... you with me on this? No? Bet I could make you. lol kidding--sort of... lol :x

Takes the sugar from 'handsome so everybody hates you', Aaron, so he stays nice... lol as I finish. :P

The Spanish Bit where Conan plays the hero and speaks 'perfect' Spanish, wow. That bit was the best on so many levels, that I have ever seen on Late Night. The guys being thrown from the window was perfect timing, and f-u-n-n-y. And the 3 guy playing the instruments reminded me of that naked guy scene. Do you know which one? The sexy spanish dancing, and Conan did his special dance. awe what a treat that night was... and as so many fans had said when Conan was sitting on his desk loosening his tie, he never looked better. wow

I love the diary bit too when Conan says 'I love love love love Anne Hathaway to scratch that ... ssshhhe is a b*tch. I also love when they try to find actors to play famous people's part. I enjoy it better than the if they mated for soe reason. Who is in charge of doing that?

Can't you share any stories of the late night 'get together' last night? What did you do, Aaron besides drink? Please share... a part of your cool life with us.

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Oh man... I wish I could! Unfortunately, I was only there for a minute (I got a crazy phone call and had to leave), but from all accounts it was a great time!

And I love the "Conando" bit, too!! It's hilarious just to see the guy in a mustache, honestly...

Aaron,
I am ready to go out--- trust me no big deal... but anyway,

after rereading my last post I see a few typo errors that needs correcting.

One, I meant clams not claws-- and not naked guys.. but Naked Gun movie--- there I put my wine away and officially flagged myself (from only one glass of Merlot) ... yikes! -- would you PLEASE fit it for me??? bye

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: HAHAHAHAHA. No way!! What am I, your proofreader?! Let this be a lesson - don't drink and post, kids!!!

Hi Aaron,

Throw that gross bottle away! Don't bother even recycling it. You guys have become sentimentally attached to a nine year old piece of trash! Take a picture of it, and put it up where interested people can see it if they start missing it after it's gone! You guys won't even miss it, trust me! Let it go... Tell it to walk into the light!!! It's for the best, you'll see...

I'm not much of a letter writer. I almost never write letters, but I would like to write Conan a letter. What address should I send it too? Does Conan read his fan mail? Does he receive a lot of it? Could I send it to you and you give it to him, or slide it under his dressing room door, or put it in his mailbox or something? Could you? I would be very happy if you could. Could you try?

Thanks,
Cindy

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Cindy, I'm going to pretend that I just didn't read you calling OUR NEW HONORARY STAFF MEMBER A PIECE OF TRASH. What's next?! Am I a piece of trash, to be recycled simply because I am useless?! Oh you bastard... YOU BASTARD.

And as far as I know, Conan reads his fan mail! Anything I give him would be immediately ripped up and thrown away, however...

You know what might have been nice? A warning about the shirtless Dorff!
I may have accidently woken up a lot of people with my squeal of delight....
Oh and there's a ring around Senor Clamatos neck, does that count? I hope not. He's currently loking like my most viable possibilty in term of marriage.
(Damn you Sev and your having a date with a guy who isnt imaginary... I love her really so I can curse her if I want:)

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: A warning... Or a heads up "Set your VCR" style?! You love it!

And yes, there's a ring around Senor Clamato's neck... But I think that's more about botchulism than marriage, honestly.

I just came over to see if you posted a new blog. Though I've read this post before and, therefore, have read the title, this time I read it as, "Let's Call the WHORE Thing Off." Which, when you think about it, makes perfect sense.

Sev

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Yes. And I really wish someone would call it off, already.

Dearest proof reader Aaron,
You're so mean, that I'm off to the fake w.hore joke thing on the board just to get even!!! LOL ... before it's gone, and you will be my topic. Pay backs, baby... and I get to delete to daddy. hahahahahaha j/k

B.T.W. I'm not sure what crazy call you got that night, but geesh... I have been getting a lot of strange hangups on my office cell.

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Hahahaha! Good luck!

A lot of strange cellphone calls, hmmm? MAYBE YOUR PHONE IS HAUNTED!! OOOoooOOOooOooooOH!!!

Sorry. That was lame.

"A warning... Or a heads up "Set your VCR" style?! You love it!

And yes, there's a ring around Senor Clamato's neck... But I think that's more about botchulism than marriage, honestly."

I wont argue that I did really REALLY enjoy it in an I've already downloaded it and watched it a million times kind of way, it just would have been nice to be mentally prepared for that kind of hotness.
I reread that and I'm officially weird. Oh well.

Ooooooh not married and no botchulism. Just what I look for in a guy. Hahaha, I must meet him!

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: HAHAHAHA!! Oh man - I didn't realize that you needed metal preparation for that! I'll make a note and try to remember next time!!

Please tell me you saw this:

Mr. Clamato Lives!

Ever had Clamato juice? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Well, somebody's drinking it, because Cadbury Schweppes keeps selling it. But one bottle has gone untouched at "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." For nine years. On the "Late Night" blog (http://blog.nbc.com/latenight), "insider" Aaron Bleyaert speculates a guest may have sent the bottle over in 1998 and... no one would drink it. Here's a snippet:

"your blog posting" (I took it out for space)

WELL... in a FIRST ON "FUNNY BUSINESS"... WE HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE RESPONSE FROM "Mr. Clamato" (folks, this is not a joke, I got this from the company -- BUT I HAVE EDITED IT DOWN BECAUSE, LIKE ALL PRESS RELEASES, IT'S TOO LONG):

Hey Aaron,

I'd like to thank you for all the attention you've been giving me the past few weeks...
...my legal team tells that, since I'm part of the show (I think you used the term "honorary staff member"), I really should be receiving royalty checks, or at least get preferred parking over at 30 Rock when I'm in town for a visit.

You threw out a bunch of topics on your blog, so I thought I'd take them on:
Yes, I do read the Internet, though I spend most of my time on gambling sites and match.com.

You called me a freak, but if being a freak includes having a full bodied, sensual taste experience that brings you back to life, and that millions adore, then yeah, I'm Courtney Love freaky. Maybe if you had experienced my complex, savory and unexpectedly sweet flavor, you'd know this.

Speaking of which, I'm going to send over some brand spankin' new me for you to try. Because as delicious as I am, after nine years you should NOT open that cap.
Oh, and it's Clam-AH-to.

Refreshingly yours,
Mr. Clamato

Mmmm...delicious clam juice. Isn't that technically clam blood?

Sev

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Yeah! Thanks for the heads up, Sev! I'm not sure if Clamato juice is technically clam blood... But isn't milk technically cow's milk?! THINK ABOUT THAT ONE.

I was in an improv group in college called Spicy Clamato, and every year, for those who graduated, we would give them a bottle of Clamato juice and a bottle of tabasco sauce. The Clamato still sits on my mantle...

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Nice! How long has it been there?!

I don't know if any of you have ever actually tried clamato juice, but it is the best tasting beverage I have ever had in my life.

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: I HAVE tried it... And I can't really say that I agree. But also I do not like tomato juice or clams separately, so maybe I'm not the right audience.
