i remember my dad walking in, pretty shaken up, and telling me the biggest terrorist strike ever had just been committed

I called my dad at work to tell him to drop everything and go find a TV


he got so mad he threw a chair across the room at work (he's american). he was a firefighter training officer at the time so he probably threw that chair pretty hard

there are sales, there are events planned... one of my friends was invited to a neighbor's 9/11 cookout.

it's a loving holiday now, all americans get together and try to out-grieve one another with insipid tales of how upset they were when the heard it on the radio on their loving commute. a ritualistic exercise in mass-histrionics.

for a while id always eat exclusively cake and pie and stuff on 9/11 since it was a day for just desserts

i was hanging out with a couple of out-of-state friends when princess di died. i said some rather impolite anti-monarchial things and without realizing it, really offended one of them. it really put a damper on my trip to visit them, and i have never stopped regretting it

no, they just delayed their jerkin for the event, then jerked it afterwards along with people who were jerkin it normally at that time.
