It was indeed formed after the murders, but before the bronco ride. Also, for those seeking OJ jokes, check out alt.humor. There is already a listing of "canonical" OJ jokes, most of which are unbearbly bad, but include references to football, hertz, orange juice, usc, interracial marriage, waiters, etc. Fascinating. There is also a bulletin board called alt.oj-simpson.die.die.die. And I heard there's already a quickie paperback on the market. Donna Cunningham University of Southern California [log in to unmask]
