Norm was a great one....

 

Loved the one about Johnnie Cochrane...."At least I didn't kill her like some people I know!" :classic_laugh:

 

its easy to forget how brutally funny Norm was, the dgaf factor was epic. He knew that doing all the OJ stuff was going to get him fired and he did it anyway, which makes looking back on it even funnier.

Apparently Cancer has denied responsibility for OJ's death, but has vowed to find the real killer......

I heard cancer was writing a book on how it would have killed OJ, even though it totally didn't.

I just want to see the funeral procession led by a white Ford Bronco. 

AC can drive the hearse and oh by the way, OJ requested a gun be placed in his hand and against his head inside the coffin.

Don't expect many will know who this guy was but I always thought he was quite something.   Never forgive him for the talk box though.
