Popular? Honey, this has become a lexicon of pop culture!

Or at least a MacRumors legend... :D

Yeah. It is. And I won't really for real believe it until I get back in there and drive through it.

I have relatives in SE CT (near Foxwood's). In difference to my Dad, I always took the GW bridge and the hi-way through the Bronx(?) to get there - rather than taking the Tappen Zee. I generally timed my trip up north to go through NYC at sunrise, just in order to see the WTC at dawn.

It was just months before 9-11 that my ex had a friend that came through DC and had an interviews in NYC. He asked if we could drive him up. In return we would have two nights at the Millennium Hilton across from the WTC.

We had a Jr. suite across of the WTC plaza. My joy those few days was to go across the street to the Krispy Kreeme and get a dozen warm donuts and for my ex to just watch the people below going to their jobs each morning. And the photographer in me to watch the play of the shadows of the towers below.

Maybe it is my view of life; but on 9-11 as I watched the news as the events at the WTC unfolded - I could only think of the people that sold me my warm donuts each morning. The vendor down on the Path level that sold me my paper. And the so many people that I looked down upon on my perch - as they went upon their day.

On that fateful day, I arrived at work late. At the time of the first strike, I was pausing and felt a strange sensation. It was only later that I understood that strange feeling.

It was 2002 or 2003 that I had to make a trip North to NYC; via my usual route of the NJT and the GWB. It was the hardest journey I had till that point.

The new tower(s) will be welcomed for me. But there will never be anything that could replace the simplicity of the Twin Towers. In their simplicity, came an elegance.

In this age of when buildings have passed their prime after just 25 years; I had hopes that the WTC towers could be a beacon for many years to come.

May the Freedom Tower complex live up to what so many of us held in regard.

Mardi Gras out here is much better anyway. It's all locals that know how to really celebrate. New Orleans Mardi Gras is...was mostly people from out of town looking to just booze and look at tits. Oh well. Things happen. It's going to take at least 5 years, more realisticly 10 for everything to get back to "normal", not this 8 months they're saying.

So if I hear you, it is the local communities that have the best parties, rather than the "Downtown" NO's proper. So should we all plan on crashing at your place this Spring?

That's exactly what I'm saying. And I'd be all for you crashing here, but I'm kinda living in my old bedroom at my parents house right now... :eek: But, if you ever end up here, let me know, I'll take you to a some damn good parties.
 
I really hate that they plan to call it the "Freedom" tower. It's a stupid name for a tower of money (which is what the original WTC was, too). Why not just call it F*CK YOU OSAMA Tower, and put a huge nuclear canon on the top.

I detect sarcasm. Totally warranted. :)

The republicans have perverted the word "Freedom" over the past few years (claiming they're for it, while reducing it). Calling this "Freedom Tower" just makes me think "Republican Tower." Yuck.

Let Freedom Reign.

No. Seriously. That was funny. I had this mental picture in my head of that. It cracked me up. I could imagine this tower wrapped in barbed wire with "F*CK YOU OSAMA!" painted up the side. Some redneck with a beer in one hand and a Vietnam surplus army helmet on his head sitting in this cannon turret.
 
Yeah, calling it freedom tower causes me to throw up the same vomit that I throw up after seeing those "I support our troops" ribbons on the back of cars :rolleyes:.

Rememer when we talked about underwear shortly like a bazillion pages ago? I'm curious, but what kind of underwear do y'all prefer?

I'm all about boxer-briefs. I prefer the short 'trunk' styled ones.

I've never really been a brief wearer. Although I think they are sexy, I can't help but make a connection between them and 12 year olds in my mind.

If it was a redneck in NYC, he'd be wearing Prada, not Army surplus!! ;)

Yea. "Support the Troops! -- Send them to Iraq with no armor to die!" :rolleyes:

I guess this is getting REALLY off-topic... Don't Ask, Don't Tell!

Hey Emo.... uhmm.... pauses to check = just briefs, something else that the French have to answer for. Got back home from the specialist / blood tests and was in such a pox mood, I crawled under the duvet and slept for two hours. What a topic to arise to. But no 12 year old association here.

Both boxers and briefs, depends on my mood (and what is clean :) )

Couldn't agree more about the 'freedom' stuff though. I mean 'freedom-fries' ?? :confused: Did you guys realise how stupid that sounded?

The perversion in the meaning of words almost reminds me of 1984.
War is peace
freedom is slavery
ignorance is strength
 
Just boxers. White boxers. No prints. Can't tell you why, just what I've always worn since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I've been told I look like a movie character when I'm in my undies. White boxers, white undershirts, all the time.

I'm with you scem0. I like boxer-briefs the best, but I also like briefs. Absolutely NO BOXERS though. Mine has to be supported and immobilized. Otherwise I pitch tents all day, which can be very embarrassing. :)

Yes- but the right situation is not in a conference while you're making a presentation. :( Trust me- any friction at all gets the motor running. Flopping around is NOT an option. :)

OK- explain to me how it works exactly. I mean- wouldn't you end up sitting on it? Ouch! Or smashing it between your legs?

If it was 12" maybe, but it isn't.
