O.J. Simpson ponders a reporter’s question as he signs autographs Friday, Sept. 30, 2005, during an event hosted by the ‘NecroComicon’ horror convention at Pacific Northridge Cinemas in Northridge, Calif.

The ASSociated Press has O.J.: Horror-Convention Setting ‘Strange’.

A decade after he was acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her friend, O.J. Simpson was back in Los Angeles autographing sports memorabilia for people attending a horror movie convention.

Simpson said Friday it felt “strange” to be signing autographs in such a venue. He said it did not occur to him that the date nearly coincided with the 10th anniversary of his Oct. 3, 1995, acquittal on charges of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

“I don’t keep these dates in my head,” he told The Associated Press while signing various items with the inscription “O.J. Simpson ’68 Heisman,” a reference to the year he won college football’s Heisman Trophy.

He said the only anniversary he observes is when he and his children mark their mother’s birthday with a cake.

Sick.

Simpson will be appearing through Sunday at the convention and Al Cowlings will be appearing Sunday.

WIST television has Art breaks into dental world with tooth tattoos.

The next time someone flashes his pearly whites at you, you might want to take a closer look, there might be a Picasso on that tooth.

Dr. Randall Turner looks inside people’s mouths for a living, but when he opens wide, “I got Superman in my mouth.”

Turner is one of hundreds of Americans wearing the work of Ron Grant, “It’s not just paint. It’s porcelain you bake on.”

The Watkinsville, Georgia, artist is the self-titled Monet of molars. From animals, to logos, to just about anything, if you want it on your tooth, Grant can make it happen.

Turner says, “People are extraordinary on what they’d like on their teeth.”

Turner’s enthusiasm for the tattoos rubbed off on six of his seven children, who also had Superman permanently baked onto their porcelain crowns.

And it’s rubbed off on about 100 of his patients, including Bob Seline, who has a biohazard sign on his molar, “I think of it as part of me, or an expression.”

An example of Ron Grant’s work:

Flap knows Dr. Turner but never really inspected his tooth tatoo………..

This is not really the bling bling effect but if it is what patients want……

Robert Novak has in his October 1 column, McCain in California.

Sen. John McCain is willing to go to California to campaign in favor of a labor-opposed “paycheck protection” measure that would enable workers to prevent unions from using their dues money for political campaigns.

In a recent private dinner sponsored by the American Spectator magazine, McCain said he always has supported the concept of paycheck protection and would be happy to go west to campaign for the referendum. However, McCain told this column that nobody has requested his presence.

A footnote: McCain said he also favors other ballot issues sponsored by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, including congressional redistricting for California.

Earth to Governor Schwarzenegger – You NEED McCain to run television ads to combat the Alliance for a Better California and the California Nurses Association.
