TOPIC: Richard Simmons
Posted  Friday, March 26, 2004 at 11:57 AM
Post 1 of 12
This will probably be the most pointless topic ever but has everyone heard that Richard Simmons was cited for a misdemeanor offense when he slapped a 255 pound "ultimate cage fighter" in Phoenix? Simmons was in the airport and the "fighter" said sarcastically, "Hey everybody. It's Richard Simmons. Let's drop our bags and rock to the 50's." Simmons slapped the man in the face after saying, "You shouldn't make fun of people who have issues." The man was not hurt (surprisingly, HA) but intends on filing criminal charges.

This is the funniest thing ever to me. Who do you think is worse? Simmons or a fighter who starts the fucking thing in the first place, doesn't fight back and then want to press charges. Don't get me started on Simmons but still...I think I would have just let this one go.

The last time Simmons was on Letterman, he was dressed as a chicken and tried to kiss Dave in the mouth. Letterman went beserk and sprayed him with a fire extinguisher calling him every name in the book and I think I distinctly heard through intermediate bleeps-"You fucking son of a bitch." Needless to say, I think Simmons is pretty messed up but the fighter is a fucking jerk. Sorry this post is pointless and long.

This is all pretty hilarious, in my opinion. I hate Richard Simmons.

Was he wearing those dolphin shorts when he slapped the guy?

You know what really surprises me about all of this? That the guy is pressing charges! Man, if Richard Simmons slapped me, I would want it to be forgotten as soon as possible.

HA, HA, HA! That's hilarious.
I have all of these Dave Letterman reruns in my head but a few years ago(before the kiss to the mouth thing) Dave told Richard he would buy him the new Barbara Streisand cd if he would put on a "masculine" outfit. Of course, Simmons was complaining the whole time, but he did put on this army outfit complete with camoflauge pants(yes, he put on pants), button down shirt, an actual t-shirt underneath, along with a hat and big brown boots. He had to wear it all day before Dave bought him the cd. I'll see if I can dig up a picture, not that anyone cares. But this was just hysterical to me. I'm a SICK person.

Okay, I will shut up about this but if you want a laugh go to:
www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow
Click on Dave TV, comedy clips, and look on page 2 towards the bottom and there is a clip, if you have a real player, called: Door to Door with Richard Simmons.
Check it out if you want a laugh. I had trouble linking it so sorry about that. I hope you all laugh as much as I did.
