Summer vacation between 4th and 5th grade so either playing Sega/SNES or riding my bike around the neighborhood. Didn't really pay much attention to the OJ trial until the verdict was announced.

The Knicks were choking against the piece of poo poo garbage team the Houston Rockets. Bunch of bullshit that crap team won back-to-back titles.

I was getting mad irl that they were interrupting the Finals for some stupid car chase with some hasbeen.

Now I care less about the NBA and I'm a better man for it.

Watch the ESPN OJ documentary. First episode explains his rise and he was mega popular and didn't frighten white people

He was a funny addition to the Naked Gun movies but that was about it

I remember hearing the Captain Janks prank call live on ABC and Al Michaels had to come on afterwards and explain the meaning of "Baba Booey", good times

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

I'm a Knicks fan and that overshadowed the closest I've seen them win a title :negative:

Also I went to bed assuming he'd off himself, that was anticlimactic

lol I was old then too. I think I was at a friend of Rob's yard party. Somebody mentioned the OJ chase going but we couldn't all go inside (bitchy wife, kids, new carpet inside) so they set up a TV in the window and we got to pound the keg and watch that poo poo. Then drove home.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
I was 14 and followed every bit of the trial as I could, it was fascinating. Truly the best thing to happen in my lifetime except maybe 9/11, that was fun too

They were setting up a betting pool if OJ was going to use the gun. I should have got in on that; I knew he wouldn't. Little prima donna bitch he is.

I was 8 and watched the chase with my dad, who was trying really hard to explain things as best he could without mentioning things he didn't think I should hear. He really should have just said "they think he's a bad guy and he's running because he doesn't want to be treated like a bad guy."

Can't remember what I was doing because it was the summer between 5th and 6th grades so I probably didn't give a gently caress, but to this day I still want a white early 90s Ford Bronco with a custom plate that reads "BLANCO".

That was the day Ms. Petrokov wore a really short skirt to class and sat on her desk reading the first chapter of some really long and boring novel for every one of the fifty five minutes of class. I recall sitting in the second row, enthralled by the view; one meant for all, stolen by me, frozen forever as a moment used for many boring afternoons and nights.

This thread just makes me sad for you guys who were grown rear end adults in the mid-90s. Fast forward to 2016 and you're taking baby aspirin for your heart and drinking a glass of wine a day for the anti-oxidants. You could feasibly die right now of natural causes and people would be like, "Yeah, well, makes sense hrm hrm he was 40-something". Please get your blood pressure checked middle age+ goons, I worry about you.

I remember being in the 3rd grade and the teachers took everyone into one classroom to watch the verdict. One of my classmates said, "Poor OJ," even though he was found not guilty, but maybe he knew this wasn't the end of his troubles.

What are your memories of the trial? What were you doing when the verdict was announced.

In a 4th grade classroom, watching it live. When the verdict was read the teachers covered their mouths in horror while and all the kids cheered.

Everything I know about the trial came from late-night talk show quips and SNL sketches. I knew referencing it was an easy way to make adults laugh even when I didn't understand the joke
