What's the best cure for a hangover?

It's the age old question. Well, at least for those like myself who enjoy going out and getting absolutely obliterated beyond recognition nearly every weekend. I am one of those unfortunate human beings who has been blessed with the ability to possess an incredibly unbearable hangover about 1 out of every 3 times I drink heavily. I've tried it all. Drinking excessive amounts of water before bed, Gatorade the next day, I've even bought those Chaser pills. Now, I do know that there is one full-proof method of avoiding a hangover.... don't drink excessive amounts of alcohol; if any. But seriously, who wants to do that?
Today I had one of my infamous head scorching hangovers. It has just recently dissipated and the time that reads on my clock is 12:35 a.m. (just in time to get a good night's rest before work; what a productive day). My best method of surviving the brain crunchers is to stay in bed, keep the lights off, and try to fall asleep in hope that when I awake the nasty sickness will be gone. This said I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on your personal home remedies for these seemingly necessary evils. If you send a suggestion, I will gladly go out and drink my face off and test your remedy.

White Stripes on Conan - Unrehearsed, Uninspired, or Unbelievable?

The White Stripes performed for Conan O'Brien's final Late Night appearance last night. Shocking most, including myself, they chose to perform We're going to be friends. The slowed down version of the lullaby-esque tune caught me off guard. I was ready to rock out to Dead Leaves, Death Letter, or Blue Orchid. Those around me at the time had mixed reviews. Mainly, everybody hated it except me. So thanks to me, it was mixed. At the time I had about 6 Yuengling's in me and about 3 Snakbite's, so I sorta wanted to rock out. Initially I was unimpressed and a bit bewildered. Upon further review this afternoon, I enjoyed the performance a bit more. It seemed to fit the circumstances (possibly in more ways than one). The tone of the song was fitting for a Conan sendoff that turned a bit somber near the conclusion of the show, so I suppose it fit. BUT, was the tone set to establish a swan song for the Stripes? No drums for Meg. Straight black garb for Jack. When I heard that the Stripes were reuniting to play Conan, my mind immediately raced at the thought of a new album, new tour, and new energy from the duo. Hopefully my mind was right. Only time will tell what holds for the future of the White Stripes.

Back to the lecture at hand. Was the performance of quality? I've read several reviews, most of them not happy with the song selection and criticizing the style in which the song was played. There were many who claimed that We're going to be friends is Conan's favorite Stripes song, but my guess is that one goober said that and the assertion simply spread like herpes. The way I see it, if you're a true Stripes fan, you took it for what it was and appreciated and enjoyed it (trust me, watch it again, then two more times). And if you're not a Stripes fan, well you obviously hated it and are still worried more about why they dress in all red and black than you are about if they will ever reunite and/or tour again.
