  • 12/8/80: where were you when you heard John Lennon was killed?

    I remember it vividly. I was riding in a family Truckster on my way to a wrestling tournament in PA with a few other kids and 1 of their parents.

    Radio stopped playing in the middle of Another 1 bites the dust. midway through the song the DJ is a wreck while sharing the breaking news. My friends mother took the biggest breath of air and put her hands to her mouth and started sobbing. His dad kept saying "OMG....omg....." Over and over.

    We drove another mile or so and they pulled off the road into one of those scenic view sites the northern tier is filled with. They kept waiting for more updates but none came.

    I got pinned in my first match and lost in wrestle backs 7-2. I pretty much sucked.

    John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.

      500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.

                        Breaking news in Maryland at my parents house (... getting a rim job from 3I's mom while, "Please Don't Go" by KC and the Sunshine Band was playing on my Walkman. Girlfriend at the time broke up with me and I needed some "me" time.)
