They tried their best to lose it in the 4th quarter.

Exactly. Wouldn't call myself a hero. But then, the guy that gave me water and gave several other people water, that were hiking home in NJ ... That guy was a hero to me ... just doing a small thing to help. That is exactly what I want to be clear about though. I didn't give blood, I didn't rescue anyone, i didn't go digging in the rubble, I don't consider myself a hero, never claimed to be a hero. That's a word, you people came up with, to describe ... my bravery, that morning.

Lil bit.

TrumpCartoon.com? Dis wood be, tha most glorious, top shelf, classiest website, ever made. I promise you. Within a week, it would be the top website in the world. End of story. I got some guys, they can do amazing work. Alright, so I write it, give them like basic graphics and stlye sheets, they do the tedious animation to my sound recordings. I can do a decent accent myself, but I prolly sound more like Deniro. That's my basic, pretend New York accent ... deniro. i'm from Arizona.

In case of emergency, break glass. Individual voices and parodies will only take off from what I did 15 years ago. You can't own political parody. Nice try, jibjab.

There were some other guys thst were early on that political scene, and I was inviting of people to contribute, and a guy known as Bad_CRC submitted a flash game to me called Bushtirs. Like Terris, but all the blocks are square, easy, and even if you lose, some chick from Florida with too much makeup says you win. I was kind of in awe. You see, before BushCartoon.com and it's amazing number of visitors, like right out of the box, June 2000. It went viral with the Dukes of Hazard thing (also, at the time, emailed a rep of Waylon Jennings, saying, please don't sue me. You can, and you will win, and I will hafta shut it down, just please don't, and he never did). Anyway, here was Bad_CRC, emailing me this game he made, letting me use it on my site. THAT Bad_CRC? All your base, Bad_CRC? Yep.

Do you know what the largest anti-war protests since Viet Nam were? Anti Gulf War 2. After 9/11. I marched in the streets in NYC. I wrote an editor lambasting his irresponsible writers that were pro war in my hometown newspaper and they published it. I made a website, where I constantly made fun of our idiot president for his first 4 years in office. I felt obligated, to go forward. To try and have a larger impact. And I tried to do it with humor. Before jibjab, they totally ripped me off ... was OK though, I released a monster ... Before youtube even. I had to host the videos myself. So, you are constantly giving up quality for quick loading, etc. Did it all with Flash. Was a Mac guy forever, but to be honest I found the Windows machines handled big Flash files better back then. Rendering and shiat. Predicted the Iraq war in my "Bushzilla" cartoon, set to BOC's Godzilla. Put a link there to buy BOC, Don't Fear The Reaper CDs ... nobody ever complained about a copyright infringement. @40 seconds: Bushzilla claw covers Enron logo turning upside down @53 seconds: The single word "IRAQ" appears in the upper right corner, while Bushzilla heads towards the "center of town".

And then, so, on top of this worst attack on the nation, in the coming months there was also a dramatic call to action, because our scumbag president was setting this all up to finish what his daddy started, instead of fighting a smart war against terrorism. D!ck Cheney had to quit as CEO of Haliburton to be VP. i mean how shady does that sound to start with, by todays standards? Corporate guy just, "Yeah, OK, I'll be VP. Sure." Get ready for war boys .... we are gonna get rich.

True story, end of the day, on the ferry out of Chelsea Piers, once we pulled away from Manhattan, here it was 4 PM and this huge plume of smoke. Some woman said, "Who could hate us this much? To do something like this?" And I said to her, "Have you heard of these people that blow up ancient Bhudist temples and outlaw music in Afghanistan?" and some guy said, "The Taliban." and I said,,"Yeah, the Taliban." Now, that was a pretty good call for someone totally unfamiliar with the intel ... i knew exactly who it was. I knew it wasn't Iraq.

Sleeper: NYG i'd give the Giants two thumbs up for their recent rebuilding of the defense after losing their star player to a fireworks accident. What they are right now is deep. Ya know, some guys are getting their dream chances to play in the NFL, and there is gonna be some guys that step up there. New stars will be born. Against Washington this week, after playing 2 pretty solid games and being 0-2. I mean, season is on the line here. Matt Jones aint rushing for no 120 yards, I can promise you that.

Advil is your friend. My first bouts with sciatica were in my 20s. I went on jumpimg mountain bikes and stuff, misdiagnosed for years. 20 years later I have not only a degenerative disc, but also severe spinal stenosis in the same area, just a little tweak ... like last time it was I bent over to poor some cat food in a bowl, put me down for like a month. Stretching. Lotta stretching and rest.

My Mom and Step-Dad were scheduled to fly out of NYC, Laguardia I think, about 11 AM. That APT is noisy, St. vincent being like 2 blocks away. Windows facing 8th ave, lotta sirens, normal shiat in NYC. My first call from work (didnt have a cell phone) at about 9:35 Mom: Hello Me: Turn on the TV. Mom: What channel? Me: It doesn't matter. Mom: Oh.

You know that falling nightmare everyone has? After that, that nightmare changed for me. Now inside a building as it goes over.
