Getting ready to go down to the pool.

It's such a strange world.

[Magrittes Pipe]

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. I was in Edgeworth, PA...

cutting grass.

[Dogmudgeon]

17. I was in Philly ...

Getting ready to drop enough acid to clean the rust off of an Edsel.

It's such as strange, multi-colored, melting-plastic hungry-ghost eschatologically-provisioned love-filled dynamically destructive oh look the toaster is flirting with Amy and Joanne but Joanne is really only into electric can openers world.

And you can quote me.

7. That was the day of my first date with Mr. CottonBear.

We were watching a Braves game on TV at a sports bar and some jerk cahanged the cahnnel to OJ! Arghhh! The Braves won with a 9th inning home run. We listened tot he end of the game in the car!

8. I was in the Rheinland, FRG

...working the graveyard shift (Army), when the fellas next door alerted us over the teletype. I wandered over to watch some of the low-speed chase on their TV.

[Zuni]

9. I had just finished 10th Grade

when that happened

[politicaholic]

11. I was watching the playoffs and they had the car chase in the corner...

of the screen. I remember thinking "This is truly pathetic." and as the trial went on it got more and more pathetic.

Ugh!

[matcom]

[malmapus]

15. I was on leave visiting my gf in NYC

I can't believe I remember the day when I saw that crap on TV. But yeah I was actually putting my shoes on, sitting on the edge of her bed and turned on the TV and there it was.

[Dogmudgeon]

16. The first GREAT AMERICAN SEX DEATH FRENZY!

It had everything --

A blonde bombshell!

A bad-boy entrepreneur with shady friends!

A wacky, bo-backy hair-farmin' dad!

A pitiful pair of prosecutors who were thrown to the wolves by ... the other wolves!

A crew of forensic scientists who didn't know a Gringnard Reaction from a Straight Flush!

A middle-aged porn star named after the color of a horse!

A notoriety-seeking cop studying for his Grand Wizard exam!

A judge who administered the law by day, but "gave them a stand-up routine in L.A." by night!

A cootchie mama who ... who ... I don't remember!

A hot-shot, tough-as-steel lawyer with a sensitive soul ... who composed poetry! ("If the rhyme isn't right, you must indict!")

An insomniac houseguest who would go from Video Twit to America's Heartthrob -- without even sleeping with an American Idol judge!

A deck of Race Cards -- all jokers!

A passel of outraged -- outraged, I say -- pundits with nothing to say!

And ...

America's most beloved athlete-in-retirement and rising screen star, role model to millions of children living on nothing but hope, in the role of a lifetime, looking for that one final Hail Mary pass, carrying the weight of America's love-turned-hate on his broad and strong shoulders, facing the alternately unthinkable futures of a life behind bars or a life on the links!

It was The First GREAT AMERICAN SEX DEATH FRENZY!

Coming to you on CourtTV. And Fox. And CNN. And every other god-damned cable station you're paying too frickin' much of your hard-earned money to waste on such crap.
