How weird a year was it?

Here's how weird:

* O.J. actually got convicted of something.

* Gasoline hit $4 a gallon - and those were the good times.

* On several occasions, "Saturday Night Live" was funny.

----With these first few lines you know you are in for a treat.

I always love reading Dave Barry's Year in Reviews and this year's was great. Hope you all enjoy.

I read that today. I absolutely love Dave Barry-- he's kind of been my hero ever since I picked up one of his books (and I was probably WAAAY too young to understand half of it, since I think I was around eight or nine years old).

By the way, my avatar sneers at your avatar.

"Abroad, Fidel Castro steps down after 49 years as president of Cuba, explaining that he wants to spend more time decomposing."

My fav:
The Olympic games are dominated by swimmer Michael Phelps, who wins eight gold medals, thus putting himself on a sounder financial footing than the U.S. Treasury. China wins the gold-medal count, although critics charge that some of China's 11-year-old female gymnasts are under the minimum age of 16. Chinese officials refute this charge by noting, correctly, that they have tanks

I like the "..Detroit was missing" line.
