NYC: Our Humor Is Blacker Than Yours

[serinde]

In the spirit of the first sign of emotional recovery in our office being someone wedging a Nerf glider in between the twin towers in our Puzz 3-D of the New York skyline, I declare a contest: Post here your suggestions for the relabeling of the eleventh of September.

I have opened the bidding with the modest contribution of "NEVAR FORGETT!!1 Day".
elibalin upped the ante with "The Feast of St. Zomg".
What've you got?

Unerringly, folks have been commenting on my post, not here. So, may I suggest heading there to check it out! (http://lifecollage.livejournal.com/265098.html)

This one (http://lifecollage.livejournal.com/265098.html?thread=1822602#t1822602) is the hands-down winner thus far.

BTW, I'm *so* going to the special hell.....

FLUFFY RAINBOW BUNNY DAY!

I don't have any suggestions, but, from Overhead NY sometime last September:

On the E-train:

Tourist Lady: Is this the train that goes to 9/11?

National Jenga Awareness Day?

If I had been drinking, this comment would have made my computer very unhappy. And thus, I am happy.

dagnycat522's comment makes me want to suggest This One Goes To Eleven Day, in the spirit of Nigel Tufnel.

Or:

All Scalawags' Eve
Moral Turpitude Day
Humpty Dumpty Day
Morning in America And Eve Of Destruction

(I got here from lifecollage, whose "It's Raining Planes Day" totally knocks mine out of the park)

[mizchalmers.livejournal.com]

Splatterday.

Sorry, entire universe.

[otherwise-nyc.livejournal.com]

Sorry? I think you win the internet.

As someone who was fucking *here* on 9/11, if I never have to hear another maudlin not-journalism report about "what it was like" or some shit like that, it is TOO SOON.

Also, I'd like my civil liberties back, plzkthx. I WAS STILL USING THEM.

The Feast of the Permanent Republican Majority.

"Today is the anniversary of 7-11. Let's go get slurpees!"

I was thinking of something like "Gay Fawkes' Day", that we'd all celebrate by going out on a date with someone of an inappropriate gender, but all us bisexuals would be forced to get just too creative.

Besides, the metaphor breaks down unless we use it to celebrate the Oklahoma City bombing instead.

How about replacing it with Osama Bin Laden's sentencing date? (oops, sorry, inserting serious content into non-serious thread, 10 yards, first down...)

Thanks! I needed this!

Fugitives From Justice Day.

Osama bin Laden, Whitey Bulger,... congrats for another successful year on the lam!
