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.

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!

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.

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.

26. This is crazy...be warned
I 'became a woman that day.'
I woke up and thought I was dying ran downstairs to tell my mom and she literally hushed me for a moment to watch some dude drive down the street (thats all I could tell was going on at that age.)
She figured it out real quick.... That day has always been hilarious to me.

27. I was in Canton IL, playing at some place called Feasters.
I only remember the name of the place because I was sleeping with one of the waitresses.
