The Morgue 2024

Just last week I read his assurances to fans that he was far from dead and everything was ok.

Like so many pro athletes, he was affable, handsome … and had the ethical pole star of a weasel (“If I Did It,” 2006, I mean come on OJ show some class). I have to wonder if his prostate cancer got out of hand, treatment-wise, during his long prison stay ending in 2017, or did it metastasize after his release.

Either way, I imagine Fred Goldman rests easier in his grave today.

Can we break the rule about not speaking ill of the dead just this once? :football: :hocho:

Will the coffin fit?

…then you must acquit.

I predict OJ’s gravestone will breathe new life into the tourism industry of whichever city hosts his grave.

It’ll attract two kinds of people; idiots who think he was framed, and people who want to piss on it. If his estate (does he still have one?) has any brains, they’ll leave his grave unmarked.

Coming out of the OJ rabbit hole long enough to wonder if his kids even care about visiting his gravesite, so maybe that’ll happen. What a life. Did you know his pop was a famous drag queen who came out of the closet “later in life” and who died of AIDS? I did not know that.

That said, I think an unmarked grave could leave some $$ on the table. Maybe buried with a stout granite obelisk gravestone that has a 4k camera installed on top, images from which are hosted by yt 24/7 and let the $$ resume rolling in for a few more years.

I also predict the DVD of Juiced shoots up in value this year.

Not all those details, but I knew he was gay from that documentary miniseries a few years back (OJ: Made in America?). Not that it matters, except I did hear rumors OJ himself was also bi.

Ugh.

Where did I speak ill of him?
I just mentioned Kardashians, because some Taiwanese on this forum might not know The Juice, but they’ll know the big butters.

I don’t think he was saying you did.

No, I meant myself! Jeez, the football+knife emojis weren’t big enough hints?

Nope. Some emojis don’t come across clear.
I even had OJ’s football poster in my room as a kid, lol.

Deadly Derek’s dead.

Sad. One of my favorites (philosophers, not New Atheists).

So, who’s your favorite New Atheist?

I like Dawkins

Seriously? Nobody tops the Hitch.

His support for the Iraq war is the only thing. Otherwise, yeah

He had a particular issue with Islam among organised religions, which arguably affected his decision making.

So does Harris. For Dawkins, it’s trans.
