Where were you 9/11 2001?

Only because a giant monkey was there to bat it away again.

I think you'll find it was an ape...

We'd a very sick younger member of our family in NJ - made it impossible for the Irish lot to get to the Sates. He passed away a week-ish later, but there were so many bodies from the WTC made it impossible to have a funeral in any decent time.

It brings back lots of tough memories.

He said someone had flown a plane into it.

Then again, not a lot happened when someone did that to the Empire State Building in WWII.

Only because a giant monkey was there to bat it away again.

Erm, nope. In 1945 a plane did crash into the Empire-State Building and King Kong wasn't there to save the day.

That's what they like you to believe. It's a cover-up.

[Doggy Styles]

Ah yes.

The Giant Invisible King Kong Coverup.

GIKKC for short (for them in the know).

You haven't seen me, right?

I'm sure I saw King Kong a couple of years ago. He wasn't invisible then. Probably living under an assumed name somewhere.

I was in LA attending an HP conference/jolly staying in the Hilton in Annaheim, had been out the night before on a vendor bender and was rudely awoken the next day by a colleague who phoned my room to tell me about the first plane hitting. Thought it was a load of tosh so told him to p#ss off and went back to sleep.
Woke up at 2PM and left my room to find the hotel deserted (3000 occupancy down to 300 in a matter of hours), everyone was hiring cars for silly money and driving thousands of mile scross-country to get home.

I spent the next 2 weeks stuck there propping the bar up on expenses becoming increasingly numb to the constant images of horror on the multiple screens everywhere you looked. Horrid times......
