Go OJ Go!!

Gotta love OJ. He's a constant source of amusement. And mayhem.

According to a memorabilia collector, Alfred Beardsley, OJ and five other "thugs" burst into his hotel room and demanded that they hand over the sports memorabilia they had. This was all allegedly done at gunpoint, though it's been reported that OJ himself didn't handle a firearm.

The sports memorabilia in question ranged from football game balls signed by Simpson, Joe Montana lithographs, baseballs autographed by Pete Rose and Duke Snider and framed awards and plaques. Beardsley also had the suit OJ wore when he was convicted in the civil case. Some of the memorabilia has been ordered turned over to the Goldman family as part of the civil case payment.

The irony, in a case filled with irony, is that some of this memorabilia, which OJ claims is his and that he was operating a "sting" to get back, had previously been sold by OJ himself. So he's sold something, claims it's still his and commits armed robbery to get it back. The guy's clearly nuts.

Man Sues McDonalds For Not Holding the Cheese

A South Carolina man is suing McDonalds because he ordered his Quarter Pounder without cheese and it had cheese on it. The man is allergic to cheese and almost died after he bit into the burger.

The man's lawyer noted that Mr Jackson, "told a worker through the ordering speaker and then two workers face-to-face at the pay and pick-up windows that he couldn't eat cheese, Houston said."

"By my count, he took at least five independent steps to make sure that thing had no cheese on it," Houston said. "And it did and almost cost him his life."

How about some personal responsibility? YOU'RE DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO CHEESE!! How about YOU look at YOUR food before YOU shove it in YOUR pie-hole? How is it McDonalds' fault that you can't seem to manage YOU'RE own affliction?

Somehow I'm sure he'll get some cash out of it and we'll all suffer for it.

Anna Nicole Smith, Because You Can't Avoid It Anymore

I have tried to avoid posting about Anna Nicole, but it's just too bizarre and ridiculous to NOT say something. Here are some court highlights:

- Howard K. Stern took the witness stand at approximately 12:15 pm EST. He stated they became intimate over two years ago and decided to keep the relationship a secret. Of Anna he said, "We became more than friends, she was my whole world, everything to me. She was my lover." Of Daniel, Anna's son: "Daniel Smith was "like a brother" to him, and that "Daniel was a great boy and a wonderful wonderful person."

- Stern claims that Smith wanted to be buried next to Marilyn Monroe but it was too expensive. He also said that she felt that she would die young. Specifically, die while giving birth to Dannielynn.

- Anna Nicole Smith attempted to crawl into Daniel's coffin at his funeral.

I'm at the point where I don't think anything would surprise me.

I'm beginning to think that she actually committed suicide to avoid the horror of a paternity suit which reveals that the father of her baby, Dannielynn, is actually her own son, Daniel, now dead from an overdose of similar drugs that killed Anna.
