The Guy Who Forgot 9/11 [update]


via

A couple years ago my buddy Zack was going to title a record for his band "The Guy Who Forgot 9/11" (h/t ) but he didn't end up using it. Too soon, I guess? Or maybe he was afraid of moving a billion records and being called a sell out? That's probably it. 

I always loved that bit myself.

"Wait, that sounds familiar. What happened again? Couple planes? Both of them? No shit."

With the anniversary of the big day here, I wanted to share some of my favorite 9/11 related merchandise. You can consider this like my 9/11 gift registry. Because I'm getting married to 9/11. Gay married. 9/11 was a dude.








Florida? That's weird.
"Get rid of that ugly dealership license plate frame.  Replace it with a Never Forget license plate frames with a screwdriver.  Made of tough black polymer that will hold the test of time.  Get 2 for the low price of $4.99."  If you don't like these options, literally anything on this page will work.











"Striking 2-track, twice around cribbage board commemorating the 9/11 attack on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Centered on the board are 2 twin towers logos with the words “Never Forget,” and adjacent to each of those logos are 2 New York state quarters. The board is made of a beautiful burgundy colored cherry wood with black grain, and the cherry wood is edged with Northern birdseye maple wood, lightly stained to accent the grain of the wood." Only $115!




"An amazing image by Jeff Hobrath depicting a fireman angel holding an infant, looking up to the heavans in honor of those lost on 9/11." Amazing is an understatement.

My favorite joke of the past decade:

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Nine-eleven.

Nine-eleven who?

YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER FORGET!!!

said...

Hehe. I think it should end before the last line.

said...

I can see that, but I get my jollies screaming that last line at whoever. It helps if I start crying.

said...

Haha, always does.

Hrm. This post too soon? Not too soon enough maybe?

True story: I went and saw the movie The Others on 9/11/2001 after the shit started hitting the fan and they let us out of work, went to the Loews on the Common. And there were still two loud black ladies. The indomitable New England spirit/Maybe that’s racist. Decent flick, though, not too scary, but then again I saw it the day we thought everyone was going to die, might have skewed my perspective.

The Man Who Forgot 9/11. That's a funny bit.

I was thinking about the Man Who Forgot bit today. Soooo good. I can't believe he didn't use it. Ah, well, there's still time.

The chess set "commemorates" 9/11. Is that the right word?

said...

(I just checked the dictionary and it turns out it is.)

More like a celebration, PK. A chess set that says I did my part. Forget the WWII crowd. THIS is the greatest generation.
