Get Ready…

posted by on September 10 at 16:30 PM

Tomorrow, if you’ve somehow managed to avoid being reminded, is the sixth anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Who cares?

Unlike the rest of you, my brother worked a couple days a week (he's a lawyer) in one of the two towers, my uncle worked every day (he's a lawyer) in one of the two towers and was taking a trip from Boston to the West Coast that day (luckily changed it to go in the afternoon ...) and my cousin is a Colonel in the Pentagon on the side that got hit (he was in a meeting).

Time to bring em home.

Yeah. We'll be in the air. No worries!

Are you baiting moans and groans? Are you pissed about it or something?

Separate the propaganda machine that the Administration turned the event into from how sad it was for our country for a second.


Anyway I hope they continue beaming the blue lights in to the air for each anniversary in the future. That's neat.

Never mind. I'm only guessing at your point of posting this.

Yes, yes, #1, we hear you: personally touched by the attacks in a way other people could never, ever, ever understand. Yawn. What next? Let me guess--you lived in one of the five boroughs before the hipsters arrived, back when NYC was really ‘real’?

Do you think the employees at the New York New York casino in Vegas felt it a little deeper?

Nice use of the David Cross, there, #6.

Um, more importantly, it's my 27th birthday! (Yes, that means that my 21st was teh suck)(and yes, I was being completely facetious.)

@6: I love you! *buys some Chunky Monkey and Yankee candles*

I just realized this means that all the 9/11 Truth nutjobs will be that much more intolerable tomorrow.

Don't worry about it going unnoticed. I'm sure that Bush administration employees are scheduled to go out knocking on every American's door tomorrow, one by one, to remind us about it.

And of course it's also the 34th anniversary of the US sponsored coup against Allende in Chile.

@13 My sister usually hosts one involving Twin Tower cakes. But she's 18 and it's in Bothell, I'm not sure you want to go to her party.

"Who cares?"

"Unlike the rest of you..."

Kiss my ass, you fucking self-absorbed idiot.

I was just stuck in Parking lot-style traffic for an hour on 405 north (for no discernable reason, it turned out) and was amazed to find Glenn Beck on KTTH scaremongering for most of that time about a "potential terror attack on American schools" he figures he's "connected the dots" to see coming. He was actually advising people to sit on a hairtrigger to pull their kids out of school the moment they get a creepy feeling because the Islamonazi Liberals or whatever are going to round up all the kiddies and murder them in droves.

@1 - Tedious wanker.

Every time there is an incident, there is always a bunch of people marvelling about how if they had got up 15 minutes later, they would have been on that bus/train/plane. Yawn. If I had have stepped onto the road 10 seconds earlier today, I would've been hit by a bus too, but I didn't, so it ceases to be interesting to anyone.

Six years on and you're still trying to dine out on being related to people nearly (but not!) killed in 9/11? Move on.

@18 "...The forecast calls for rain, but that won’t stop us. Bring orange ponchos if you can!"

Damn, where did I put all my orange ponchos?

@22 - check your emergency response kit. Mine's right next to the duct tape and my comic books.

I could have sworn it happened in 1999.

@24 your confusing 911 with the run up to Y2K, both plots by the government to allow them to re-invade Iraq, read your sexy text messages, and lock up a few dozen Arabs, but 9/11 was the one they actually did.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 911!!1!!11!111!!!

@25, all the duct tape nonsense was post-9/11 during the anthrax scares.

@24

No, that was Fight Club.

Since you're in Tampa, this is easily excused.

27. Be sure to fall down when he hits you.

Powder on hand to simulate dust is a huge plus.

@5 - actually, I did. But that was from the time I was 1 yo until I was 2 yo, so I don't count it.

You got a problem with that?
