Tim Conway and Ernie Anderson<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">A couple weeks ago, author, actor, and humorist John Hodgman was the guest on NPR's 'Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!' As I listened to John and host Peter Sagal, John's simple, polite, and deadpan delivery of often ludicrous responses to Peter's questions reminded me _very_ strongly of an old comedy album of my dad's that I listened to time and time again growing up, where ABC television announcer Ernie Anderson plays straight man to comedian Tim Conway in a series of interviews. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2008\/11\/15\/are-we-on-tim-conway-and-ernie-anderson\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2007<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2007\/11\/15\/turtle-butt\/\">Turtle Butt<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">In lieu of actually posting anything truly interesting, I give you one of my favorite shots from our trip to Hawaii this summer. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2007\/11\/15\/turtle-butt\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2006<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/11\/15\/lockdown\/\">Lockdown<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Seeing as I haven't been writing a whole lot lately, this seems as good a time as any to declare this site on temporary hiatus while I transfer over to the new webhost. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/11\/15\/lockdown\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/11\/15\/vogue-no-more\/\">Vogue No More<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">1) The Vogue is closing at the end of the year. 2) The new club will be called Blacklight and will be in the upper level of the Capitol Hill Arts Center (CHAC) and opening in the second half of January. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/11\/15\/vogue-no-more\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2004<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/11\/15\/exterminate-all-rational-thought\/\">Exterminate all rational thought.<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Mike posted about joining up with NetFlix, and his list of upcoming movies included Brazil and Time Bandits, both wonderfully bizarre films directed by Terry Gilliam.
