10 Years Ago This Month
I feel like I'm about to drop a lit match into a ocean of gasoline, but, for those who have forgotten.
10 years ago this month.....

I'll let you guys fight out the various interpretations of this event among yourselves. It should be fun to watch.

Actually, now that I think of it, most of you aren't old enough to remember it.
Fuck, I'm getting old.

I'm old enough to remember both of those. Happy birthday to my old mate Mr Hitler there. . . Must say, seems he was fairly good at what he did.
Yeah you like that? "Fairly", "good" and "Hitler" sitting in there nice and close.

Hitler was born on April 20 and the shootings were on April 20. Hmm....I smell a conspiracy theory coming on. We merely need to work in some repugnant aspects of human nature and undocumented technology. I'll contribute my paranoia and distrust of technology and authority if GM will contribute equal portions of meglomania and cabalistic magic. Then, we just need Opteron Man to build us a thought control generator with timeflux capacity and Dan Brown will gladly buy the rights to the entire idea.

Meh. Worse things have happened since then.
Unfortunately.
[I'm old enough to remember it. I was at University then. Man, a lot changes in ten years....]

Still don't.

I believe they planned it because of it being his birthday...
Also if it gets made into a film, I'm on costume design and makeup.

Our school had a ton of bomb threats after Columbine and we'd have to sit outside on the grass while they searched the school. I remember playing duck-duck-goose in high school out of boredom.

Nope, because of how I dress, they decided I'm a columbine kid.

Well this had to be the quickest descent into reductio ad Hitlerium I have ever seen!
Godwin was right.
