Conan O'Brien's alleged "priest stalker," 46-year-old Father David Ajemian, was cuckoo for Conan more than a year before his arrest at 30 Rock on November 2. He didn't just stick with disturbing letters and e-mails to his targets, either.

Using the nickname Padre009, Ajemian posted on the NBC message boards discussing Late Night With Conan O'Brien, signing off with a French phrase that means, "shame on him who thinks evil of it."

Ajemian called the host "Corncob O'Brien" and reacted cantankerously to another poster's crack about "complete lunatics" on the board: "I'm just a two-bit HACK and I don't even know it!!! My stories and nuttiness are PATHETIC--- why?? Well of course because they DON'T MEAN ANYTHING!!! Compared to THE WRITERS who are---- GOLDEN---- AND---- BEAUTIFUL---- AND---- BELOVED ... Yes the WRITERS---THE WRITERS--- UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING!!!! Everything that you witty and crazy and sweet young things could EVER want to know about the world."

"Gosh, I never realized until now.... CONAN.... THE WRITERS.... THE WRITERS.... THE WRITERS.... OH ITS JUST PUTTING ME INTO A TRANCE.... What a beautiful... beautiful.... and artfully insane world they weave..."

This holy terror in a clerical collar probably produced a hell-raisin' homily or two in his day. Another of one of his 550-plus posts on the Late Night boards sounded like the beginning of a sermon: "You know Jesus talked about ten ladies who were waiting for a guy late late at night. And five of them made sure to get oil for their lanterns so they wouldn't go out. The other Five? They had already turned off their TV sets and gone to bed once Conan finished up...." (Facial!)

Father Ajemian could get up to a year in jail if he's convicted of the misdemeanor stalking and harassment charges against him. Padre009 is currently relegated to posting messages on the walls of Rikers Island.
