You Can Get More Than Glue From Horseshit

[s~Z]

>>> You had to be there.<<<

That's what my grandpappy used to tell us about Pearl Harbor. "The average
Joe thinks our fleet was attacked by bombs falling. Pshaw. I was there.
Kamikaze planes, sonnyboy. That's how they attacked our homeland. No bombs.
It was planes crashing. It's some kind of horselover fat reality shift all
of this talk of planes on 9/11 and bombs on 12/7. 'sother way around kid.
Other way around."

You had to be there.

Although I was told Pynchon wasn't in New York at the time of the bombing,
and that while on vacation he had rented the Brian Eno video, "Thursday
Afternoon" and had fallen asleep watching it the night of 9/10. May account
for his impression of 9/11.
