wearescott reminded me that today is the tenth anniversary of the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan dustup.
For some reason the only amusing detail I can remember is that two newsgroups instantly appeared:
alt.fan.tonya-harding.bonk.bonk.bonk and
alt.fan.nancy-kerrigan.ow.ow.ow
I remember seeing her house in Clackamas somewhere while visiting Portland and noting the lawn covered with pickup trucks and major appliances, also. Who says we don’t have class war here?
My favorite part of the whole affair was when Kerrigan ( after the scandal) was the guest of honor at a parade either at Disneyland or Disneyworld, and there was an audio tape of her saying ..”this is soooo lame.”

Yep, Miss Harding lives up here somewhere. Her and her house are briefly mentioned in Mister Fight Club’s book about Portland. I’d rather see the self-cleaning house, myself.
