Comments on And Now, In Honor of the Anniversary of September 11th, I Present to You...

What is with all the fucking snark about the anniversary?

The symbolic and political abuse of 9/11 has been so thorough, it's hard for me to take it seriously as an anniversary of anything except The Beginning of a Bunch of Really Bad Shit.

I—and the calluses on my soul—apologize.

Fair.

That vid was funny, but after a while it started sounding like the asshole roommate who has sex on a squeaky bed all the while playing his clock radio loudly to try and cover up the noise.

that was touching that he composed the nose trumpet symphony for his fiance. I am truly moved. I can only hope that someone lovesme enough one day to play the nose trumpet online in my honor.

"Love, and Eternity, and all of the rest of the stuff that goes with that." Awesome. This is beautiful music, I want it played as I walk down the aisle someday.

This reminds me of a story Mel Brooks once told about a spat he was having with his wife, Anne Bancroft. Mel raised his backhand mocking a forthcoming slap to Anne's face (be assured there was never any intention of actually hitting her; that isn't Mel's style).

Anne: Don't you DARE hit me. My body is my instrument.

Mel: Oh yeah? Let's hear you play "Melancholy Baby" on it.

@#4 I read your comment while I still had the vid going in the background, now that is what it sounds like to me too. Too funny!

British people are adorable.

YAY!
