| ARTICLES RELATED TO Conan O'Brien | | | | |  Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Meta-joke - Self-referring jokeThis kind of meta-joke is a joke in which the joke itself, or, rather, a certain category of joke, is part of the joke.
Examples of meta-jokes are:
A priest, a minister, and a rabbi are walking down the street.
The rabbi says, "Hey, did you hear the one about us?"
An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar.
The bartender turns to them, takes one look, and says "What is this - some kind of a joke?"
An Irishman, a Frenchman, and ...

New England - Historico-cultural roots.
The first European colonists of New England were focused on maritime affairs such as whaling and fishing, rather than more continental inclinations such as surplus farming.
As the oldest of the American regions, New England has developed a distinct cuisine, dialect, architecture, and government. New England cuisine is known for its emphasis on seafood and dairy; clam chowder, lobster, and other products of the sea are among some of the region's most popular foods.

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - New England - Economy In the twentieth century, most of New England's traditional industries have relocated to states or foreign countries where goods can be made more cheaply. In more than a few factory towns, skilled workers have been left without jobs. Largely around Boston in the ring of Route 128, the gap has been partly filled by high technology industries, in particular biotech. Education, high technology, financial services, tourism, and medicin ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Phish - One More Time Over two years after the breakup, Phish announced that they were reforming and would return to the stage on New Year's Eve 2002 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. To capture the very first moments of the reunion, the band recorded a new album, Round Room, in only three days. When the band's much-hyped return to the stage took place on New Year's Eve, they pulled a prank on the audience that actually fooled the entire US media. Page McConnell's brother was introduced as actor Tom Hanks, who came onstage to sing a line from the ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Phish - Their Music Phish's musical ethos is a playful mix of skilled improvisation, psychedelic rock, folk, bluegrass, funk, jazz, a capella/barbershop quartet, reggae, heavy rock, and intricate compositions. Some of their original compositions (such as "Theme from the Bottom") tend towards a psychedelic rock and bluegrass fusion, with more rock, jazz, and funk elements than the Grateful Dead and other earlier so-called jam bands. Their more ambitious, epic compositions (such as "Reba" and "Guyute") are often said to resemble classical music in a rock setting, much like the music ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Phish - Cultural Icons By 1999, Phish were an American institution. They were considered the biggest concert band in the country. With the millennium on the horizon, fans knew that Phish was going to pull out all the stops. They decided to skip the annual summer festival in order to prepare for the New Year's Eve Millennium Celebration. However, at the last minute, they decided to hold a summer festival anyway. 65,000 people came to an abandoned airport in upstate New York for Camp Oswego held in July. The following weekend just a few towns away, the disaster at W ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Phish - Climb to the Top Phish began headlining major amphitheaters in the summer of 1993. That year, the group released another studio album, entitled Rift, which continued the band's streak of challenging, complex music, packaged into a concept album as part of heavy promotion from Elektra.
The group changed their songwriting approach again for their 1994 release Hoist. The album featured simpler songs with emotionally introspective lyrics, a change that became part of the group's overall sound. This shift to a more traditional song format was met with criticism from many fans. In addition, the ban ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - New England - Literature New England has always received a great deal of attention from American writers like Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, John Updike, John Irving and Arthur Miller. Largely on the strength of local writers like Thoreau, Boston, Massachusetts was for some years the center of the U.S. publishing industry, before being overtaken by New York in the middle of the nineteenth century. Boston remains the home of publishers Houghton Mifflin and Pearson Education, among others, as well as t ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - New England - Major Professional Sports Teams Informal polling, along with a general consensus among the sports media, indicates that baseball is the most-watched sport in New England, with the Boston Red Sox being the region's most popular sports franchise and the region's focal point of conversation throughout the summer. Even Red Sox players have noted the feeling of affection and ownership the entire New England region has towards the team. Nearly every major town in the region carries the Red Sox through the town radio station. The 2004 World Series victory by the Red Sox, the firs ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Harvard University - History Harvard's foundation in 1636 came in the form of an act of the colony's Great and General Court. By all accounts the chief impetus was to allow the training of home-grown clergy so the Puritan colony would not need to rely on immigrating graduates of England's Oxford and Cambridge universities for well-educated pastors, "dreading," as a 1643 brochure put it, "to leave an illiterate Ministry to the Churches." In its first year, seven of the original nine st ...

So far, the 2000s has been marked generally with an escalation of the social issues and continuation of the pop culture of the 1990s which included the rise of terrorism, the rapid expansion of communications and telecommunications with cell phones and the Internet, international pop culture, and the rapid, exponenti ...

| | | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Crunk - Etymology The use of crunk to describe a genre of music is derived from the phrase "to get crunk", using "crunk" as the colloquial past tense of "crank". To "get crunk" means to have an extremely good time, usually at a party. Additionally, "making [a club, party, or venue] crunk" means making the atmosphere more exciting and enjoyable to the participants.
While the word "crunk" is presumed to be a blend of the words "crazy drunk," being crunk does not necessarily include being intoxicated, but there is a good chance that if one is crunk ...

It is occasionally termed, in historical contexts, the "turn of the millennium" or "turn of the century" (or "turn of the new century," since the idea of 1900 being the "turn of the century" is still fresh in people's minds). This terminology would probably seem si ...
