While I was getting my oil changed today, I saw a truck with NY plates come in for some maintenance. On the back of the truck, I noticed an american flag sticker and some detailing - "9/11/2001 - Remember Flight 93."

I commented to the wife of the couple that I noticed the sticker and how I liked it - how people usually focus on the towers and forget that another 500 people died from the Pentagon and Flight 93.

I then found out that the father of her husband - the man driving the truck - was on Flight 93. We spoke for a little while, and I told her that Todd Beamer lived right down the highway, two towns over.

We shared some mutual sorrow... it was somewhat cathartic, but it was the first time I physically met someone who had lost someone on September 11th.

As the couple left, the gentleman punched me in the shoulder in a friendly gesture and said, "Thanks man. Take care." "I said to him thank you - and thank you to your father, for being a hero."

Who wants some?

I hate teh Luna.

No, not Drusilla, fuck that twat.


Arpikarhu

As we all know, Ken died about a week ago, and Arpi's brain cloud got the best of him.

So Ken has reinvented himself (actually he just dropped all the new gimmicks and is posting his same old tired jokes again) and signed on with a new screen name.



Let's all welcome him.

Anyone keeping an eye on the Adelphia accounting scandal?

I know it's Buffalo and you don't care, but it pretty damn funny/scary.

What does this have to do with sports?

just wondering if anybody still listens to wnew anymore.
there has been some weird shit this week

For some reason, I'm getting into the world cup. It's the Curling phenomenon - for two weeks, you get totally into a sport you have no interest in for four years - and once it's over, you go back to whatever.

Beckham and Yorke are my heroes.

And if you're K1d and have 15 monitors, feel free to post 'em all.

The opposite of everything is true:

I had dinner with Skitch last night.
I could listen to him talk for hours.
I hung on his every word.

the movie Braveheart was written by a distant relative of William Wallace.
