The Daily News
1 Hit the link before you goof on today's DN. Blast it through your stereo. You will laugh your ass off.
2 Hit the link, I swear to you.
3 One of the most classic goofs ever.
4 I have no idea how to embed You Tube into Xanga.
5 I tried it once.
6 It was akin to putting a mouse with a sinus condition into a ridiculous labyrinth, and then trying to coax him with mozzarella.
7 Okay okay okay okay!
8 Lousy analogy.
9 I do that.
10 I swear to you.
11 It has something to do with the super powers of human beings, which sounds random, but hear me out. Listen:
12 Young people, for example, truly have super powers. All of them.
13 They can do anything better than older folk.
14 Like all super heroes, however, they must have a vulnerability.
15 Their vulnerability is this:
16 Lack of Wisdom.
17 LOW.
18 The kryptonite of the young.
19 Every time I see a young person run a stunning 100 meter, or dance a glorious ballet, I see super heroes.
20 I can no longer do those sorts of things.
21 Actually, I could never do those sorts of things.
22 If I were a super hero, I would probably call myself Wiseguy. Wiseguy would be an intelligent geezer.
23 He would simply out think every young villain, and would do it with quips and fancy reasoning.
24 His wisdom would always conquer brute strength and young idiocy.
25 He would disguise himself as a professorial high school teacher, a stable grammarian fond of old movies and skilled with root beer and whistles.
26 He would be an Old Brown Shoe. He would look and act like Bugsy Siegel.
27 He would drive a deep blue Nissan Altima, which he would call the Ol' Timuh. It would have under its hood18 cylinders, designed by a younger science teacher who has among other things, a still in his garage.
28 His weakness would be senility, the kryptonite of the almost-old. The cure would be the hooch from the science teacher's still.
29 The science teacher could be his sidekick, Moonshine.
30 And on and on.
31 Eventually there would be a parallel universe, where he would travel to and get killed. There would have been a prophecy when he was an infant that one day a woman would be the death of him.
32 A woman would be the death of him.
33 And on and on.
34 Moving on, Part the First: Some comic book stuff.
35 Always fun.
36 Moving on, Part the Second: I would be remiss in my duty as the worst role model in the history of education if I didn't report here on the Ben and Jerry's lawsuit against porn thieves who stole their image and made a series of porn films called Ben and Cherries.
37 The company, Rodax Distributers and Caballero Video out of North Hollywood, agreed to take all of their smut off the shelves.
38 The DVD's had names similar to Ben and Jerry's, only with a porno flair. Some of the titles included Boston Cream Thigh, New York Fat and Chunky, and Peanut Butter D-Cup. They gotta be worth something on the black market.
39 For the record, B and J's original name of these were Boston Cream Pie, New York Super Fudge Chunk, and Peanut Butter Cup.
40 Moving on, Part the Thoid: All of which brings us back to my first random point.
41 I have a super power that is ass-backwards.
42 I am unutterably adept at making lousy analogies.
43 I do this so that people who get annoyed with me will stop reading my ridiculous daily rants and can save themselves from sinking in the quicksand of my mucky and mundane folderol.
44 Exhibit A.
45 With that, I believe I will turn and face the weekend.
46 I will do so with force and dignity, and try like hell to have a blast.
47 You do that to, and forget all this.
48 Life's short.
He put his shoulders back and his heels together. "To hell with the handerchief," said Walter Mitty. He took on last drag on his cigarette and snapped it away. Then, with that faint, fleeting smile playing beautifully around his lips, he faced a firing squad: erect and motionless, proud and disdainful, Walter Mitty the Undefeated, inscrutable to the last..
49 Have a great weekend.
50 Peace.

YES BECAUSE IT WASN'T REAL IT WAS ALL A CONSPIRACY BY OUR GOVERNMENT
I don't understand being annoyed by something like that. But that's just me.
Maybe she was a family member or friend of someone who died that day.
She must also be sick of Memorial Day, and Labor Day. Bet your ass if they were giving her time off for it she wouldn't be bitching.
No, because it changed the world. Regardless of public opinion.
No way. Same goes with the Holocaust, Veteran's Day, etc - we don't just stop tributing them.
about what?
I didn't like 9/11.
We still remember Pearl Harbor....and that was 71 years ago this coming December 7th.
No.
though i can put myself in her shoes i wonder what she posts blogs about. there is really nothing posted on Xanga that's new under the sun except for fiction. does anyone really think relationship issues, discussions about body part sizes, fashion or who's hot today and who's not today or pictures of landscapes however beautiful are anything new?
I think people get sick of it because people still cover it in the "this was sad, you must be sad or you are a bad person" fashion. It is understandable that people find it frustrating.
Sorry, but we can't afford to go back to the mindset we had on 9/10.
No. If she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to read or watch it.
Another few more years to make it 20 years. Something to do with a generation i think..It fades somewhat naturally with time..
don't watch the coverage then
I'll never get sick of my favorite kpop vids. watch things that don't make her sick but make her in the party mood.
It will NEVER be appropriate to stop covering the 9/11/01 attacks, the attacks which preceded them, and the attempts which have occurred since. These people truly want to destroy America, and make this an Islamic World.
Once we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it and never learn from it. I'd have told her off. lol
I don't think we can ever stop talking about it but it would be great if the pack of lies that go along with it stops being told. That said people need to remember & celebrate all the ones that needlessly lost their lives or had their world forever changed on that day. Eleven years later it still breaks my heart.
No. 9/11 was kind of a big deal...If she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to watch it/read it.
@randomneuralfirings - What mindset was that? Living free living without in fear? If so, please bring me back to those days. Now all we have are the unamerican DHS and TSA terrorizing regular law abiding citizens. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the terrorists won. You're living in fear and we're wasting billions of dollars in the name of protecting ourselves.

What @ShimmerBodyCream - said.
Yes, it's like reopening the wound that it left in the hearts of thousands affected by it. We shouldn't forget the heroes we lost that day though. We should just make it a holiday where everyone gets to have a day off. It'll make those who complain about it happy
I saw something on Facebook where someone posted a pic of the two towers and said sobering thought:11 years ago over 3000 innocent people said goodnight to their loved ones for the last time.
Unfortunately we as humans need to be reminded of things. We forget and eventually forgetfulness becomes I don't care anymore.Selfishness will only rest for a little while then it wants center stage again
24 So there you have it.
25 Somehow, a bunch of bullets invaded today's DN.
26 I can't shake them.
27 Anyway, weird things are happening.
28 And it is now around 4:30 a.m.
29 Okay, miraculously, I got rid of them. They were bulleting each DN item. I'm fairly certain that my fonts are going to change and get smaller. Fear not. It's not a government conspiracy to silence me.
30 It was sort of funny, that one guy who used the same Goofy with the fishing pole that I have grown fond of over the years. The rest of those people need to clean up their English skills. Brutal.
31 That being said, I'm a bit struck dumb by the entire concept of being "sick of 9/11 coverage." Is that becoming the trend? If so, it's a tad dangerous.
32 This is why I teach it.
33 It changed America.
34 It changed our country.
35 It blew up the Bill of Rights.
36 And regardless of politics, the people who lost loved ones deserve respect.
37 It's sad that a generation not affected could be so callous as to be sick of the coverage.
38 Too bad sweetie.
39 It should be clear to anybody that we must never forget.
40 Not because I am suddenly a raving patriot.
41 I just happened to have lived through it. My family lived through it.
42 New York lived through it.
43 And America lived through it.
44 And the rest of the world watched.
45 Give it a thought. Thinking is still legal. I'm guessing that sentiment wasn't an original thought.
46 But it is a scary thought if that's what is out there.
47 I won't watch all of it. But I will think about what happened to everybody that day.
48 I have to.
49 And I will continue to teach about it.
50 That I promise.
51 Peace.
