OJ will stand trial in Las Vegas. My Predictions:

• His plea will be “absolutely 100% not guilty”.
• The defense will say that the audio tape of the encouter does not fit OJ’s mouth and therefore cannot be his voice.
• The defense attorneys will say “Cha-Ching!” alot in an attempt to lull the Las Vegas jurors into the local slot machine trance
• He will be acquitted in the criminal trial but will then be sued directly by the victim and held responsible
• Kato will testify that this time he wasn’t near the place and didn’t hear a thing
• Judge Ito will make a cameo to rule on a motion
• Fox News will outbid MSNBC for the rights to air the trial
• The trial coverage will be sponsored by the Florida Orange Council’s “OJ that doesn’t kill” campaign

Chiquita is being sued over some killings in Colmbia. Evidently Chiquita has outsourced their field security to Blackwater.

Banana Picker: “Hey Mr. Tally mon - tally me banana! Daylight come and me won go home.”
Chiquita Manager: “Yeah, uh….it would be great if…uh, you didn’t come in anymore. We are re-aligning our corporate structure to meet the new business paradigm and current economic realities.”
Banana Picker: “Que? No habla englais.”
Chiquita Manager: “Let me introduce you to Jim here. Jim is with Blackwater. They have been contracted by corporate to handle our security out here in the field.”
Blackwater Jim: “Step away, sir!”
Banana Picker: “No habla englais. Tally me banana?”
Blackwater Jim: “Step away or I am authorized to use deadly force by my corporation!”
Banana Picker: “Que?”
*BANG*

I don’t watch 24. The clips I have seen have lavish technology setups that stretch the possibilities just a tad - kind of like Fox News.

Anyhoo, here is what Jack Bauer would be having to deal with in 1994.

This clip is funny but I have to think that faced with not having a quarter in a phone booth Jack Bauer would use a code. I got my first cellphone in 1994, but I was a bit of a phone freak. Jack probably would have had the Startac brick phone at that time. The collect call joke is worth this inconsistency though.

Also, where are the AOL sales promotions when he logs in? You would have to click “NO” to at least 2 pop ups like “Would you like to buy a double-speed CD rom for $299.99?” or “Upgrade to a Hayes-Compatible 28.8kbps Modem for $149.95″. Kind of like modern Mac OS when you first load it.

“I can’t come back, I dont’ know how it works”

With those words Joel left MST3K, but evidently he has figured it out and is bringing something new to life. Interesting timing as lately I’ve been missing that show and am delighted to find clips all over the internet.

Kevin Murphy is Tom Servo to me, however. He brought a new life and upgraded personality to that character that I just love. I’m sure he’ll figure out a way to get involved with the new project.

You don’t think you have it but you do. You download cute screen savers, smileys for your email or instant messenger. Why do you think they give it away for free? because its a front door for malware that pops ads up on your computer and/or reports your activity that they sell for marketing.

A homeless man found dead at a Lockland recycling center likely was killed in a trash compactor, Lockland police said.

Moral of this story: never go into a garbage compactor without a comm-link to your R2 unit. Didn’t anyone learn anything from Star Wars?

If you notice the color or taste is a little off in your Starbucks coffee over the next few months remember the cup is made from recycled materials, and be leary of the new “Soylent Green Chi Tea” special.

Cincinnati made international news this week with the antics of Cincinnatian Kim Leblanc who was arrested for breaking into an abandoned car. When police found him he was without pants and told them yes, he had done some drugs but that a leprechaun led him to and let him into the car.

Cincinnati Police put out an APD and cornered the Leprechaun in an alley. They were going to take him in for questioning but fatally shot him instead. Even though the Leprechaun was unarmed Cincinnati Police stated that they saw him reach for something in his pocket. It turned out to be some lucky charms.

I saw the article on Reuters too but can’t find it now.

The FBI has raided a warehouse owned by David Copperfield and seized millions in cash. This was after many complaints of Mr. Copperfield walking up to random people on the street making $20 bills disappear without making them re-appear. Anyone who has seen “The Prestige” knows you have to make it re-appear or you have no trick!

Christie was obviously the brains of that relationship.

They now have a candy bar made of bacon. Ew…. Link

Deep milk chocolate coats your mouth and leads to the crunch of smoked bacon pieces. Surprise your mouth with the smoked salt and sweet milk chocolate combination.

Nope still don’t have me.
