Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps. Scratch some more… * FIFTH PLACE * Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count ‘em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner’s insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching. There are more….. Double hand scratching after this one.. * FOURTH PLACE * Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella’s when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor’s beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner’s fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun. Pick a new spot to scratch, you’re getting a bald spot.. * THIRD PLACE * Amber Carson of Lancaster , Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to people being responsible for their own actions? Only two more so ease up on the scratching…. *SECOND PLACE* Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000 …. oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure. Ok. Here we go!! * FIRST PLACE * This year’s runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the free-way, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver’s seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner’s manual that she couldn’t actually leave the driver’s seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down? Are we, as a society, getting more stupid….. or are more members of Congress serving on juries these days? Resolved Question: This is no Joke just Facts? It’s time again for the annual ‘Stella Awards’! For those unfamiliar That’s right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head.

Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home. Voting Question: Do you like my NOVEL EXCERPT?!? Chloe was ninety-nine percent sure she was dreaming. Los Angeles is a city of salesmen, a place of relentless schmoozing and professional associations that are not only considered beneficial, but in fact, vital for survival. In a town where every conversation starts out corresponding- what do you do?” -standard etiquette is temporarily abolished. No place is sacred- the locker room at your gym, the checkout counter at Hermes, and even the hospital where you are visiting your sick grandmother, because any of these places could provide a golden opportunity to pitch ideas and sell screenplays. It doesn’t matter where you’re from- Italy, Paris, Oklahoma, even right there in Beverly Hills- if you are not a renowned player in the plastic industry of cool, you really don’t matter. For those of us who maneuver below the towns glamour, this was the ultimate dream land- a region of unreality where phantoms reside and we live in our own unseen dreams. Men with aviators and flawlessly groomed hair-dos stroll about atop the air of their own snobbery; women in sexy silk air kiss on the streets. Fame is everything, more consuming than sex, more pressing than politics; more valuable than the acquirement of money, which is never, for the gambler, the real point of the task. The charm of fame is so excessive that we like every object to which it is attached, even death and face lifts. Magical Hollywood crosses geographical boundaries to include parts of Los Angeles, New York, France, and Montana; the first-class lounges of international airports; nightclub VIP rooms; hyper yachts; and secluded, pampering resorts in odd locations. You may reach this Hollywood only via jet, helicopter, comfortable boat, motorcycle, or luxurious yacht. In Hollywood, people eat raw foods, wear thousand-dollar T-shirts, and bemoan their loss of creative freedom. Once inside, you will do anything to stay. One drawback to being onstage for most of your life is that eventually you forget how to act when you’re off it. Not that it matters. In such a life, you’re never really offstage. Even walking from your bedroom to the kitchen you can’t lower your guard . . . at least not if you’re on the set of one of the most anticipated TV specials of the season– one starring you. Money is not the most important thing in the world. Love is. Fortunately, Chloe loved money.
