World Trade Center
Tomorrow I am going to visit the World Trade Center. I hope to get there nice and early. I just can’t wait to look across the city of New York from the top of the building.
Recommend this post to your friends so I can get their suggestions too.
For those of you who have been to the top of the World Trade Center, what would you suggest I look out for?

WAHAHAHA
Next summer you should vacation in Iraq! I hear 2002 will be a good year for Iraq, lots of fun events!
I didn’t know you could do that?!
btw-sick choice dan, very sick
=O
Oh Dan!
Xo
:-S ouch…
You have a twisted sense of humor. Are you sure we’re not related?
This is absolutely great!!! I love it.
Oh dear.
OH DAN.
SICK AND TWISTED HUMOR, INDEED!
I don’t really know what to say :X
oh lol geez…
Lol. How did you make the date like that?
omg!!
my first instict is damn that’s just wrong but its kinda funny.
just dont fall off,,, they keep the windows closed dont they?
from someone who was in the city on 9/11 this post makes me want to vomit.
I smiled at this.
Because I’m a horrible, horrible person…
Sorry Dan, but that was just wrong!
Michael
@Imp_is_lurking - me too
@ETCACTOR - I agree,many people died.
bahahahaha
Hahah.
haha burn…
lol!
you are too funny for your own good.
Look out for bad taste. You seem to have develped it.
Oh that was twisted…
funny but still sad :0( but still funny
I’m not a fan.
[When did *I* become such a Debbie Downer?]
Birds are nice.
Shame on you Dan.
Sometimes you’re funny. This is not one of those times.
Bwahaha, oh dear.
Some of us are ready for this kind of humor, others are not. I have to admit, I am more horrible than others.
big airplanes. i hear they plan to try out a new pickup terminal there.
You will have an absolutely incredibly exciting time. I promise you that.
lol this is so wrong and funny at the same time
I feel horrible that I actually burst out laughing from this.
Am I going to hell?
I didn’t find this funny at all. Sorry.
I suggest you look out for airplanes, they have the tendency of being a bit pesky around the towers.
But seriously yo, I hope this gets the right point across and doesn’t come across as cruel.
no, this is just wrong.
oooooooooo. That’s wrong on sooooo many levels…..and yet slightly amusing. I’m a terrible person….
hmm
wow. that’s kind of in poor taste.
but I saw it coming before I hit the link.
I mean, it’s funny, but, that’s totally still an open wound for a lotta people.
ehh. funny anyway, in an you-oughta-see-a-shrink sorta way.
Now you can post something on the 12th with a retouched picture of you on top of one of the towers, with a plane in the background.
You seem to have a taste for the controversial. It’s a very…ironic post.
this isn’t funny. and i’m not uptight.
Please tell President Bush that there’s no WMD.
Odd. This is one of the rare times I don’t find what you wrote funny… that is… if you were intending for humor. And yet I’m not personally offended by this either. It’s interesting gimmick. I’m much more fascinated by your readers’ reactions as a gauge to see how many people are desensitized to event by now, and how many feel it is sacred and should not be blemished by playfulness.
I can handle most sarcastic, sick humor. However, this is a bit too sick.
Bad taste…
As someone who lost a close relative in the North Tower, I appreciate the attempt.
The entry kind of highlights how Sept 11 was just supposed to be a completely normal day and kind of makes you wonder about how things aren’t going to work out like we always plan.
Look out for airplanes.
Alright, I’ll admit that, at first I had no clue what was going on here. But then I saw the date on it…And, for once, I don’t really know what I think.
Oh dear.
You’re a bastard Dan. Why don’t you convert from Christianity to Islam?
@esch99 - I didn’t think of it like that.
Wow…
wow… this is kind of personal to a lot of people including myself.
thats not even funny.
@esch99 - i agree with you, by the way. i too loss a close relative, i however did not think this was enligtening… but you have a good point.
Well you did say you wanted to take over the dead people’s xanga’s…I never would have guessed that you’ve been dead this whole time!
Silly Dan. I’m really interested to see how people react to this..
*laughing* good sense of humor. lol!!
Ha!
Just my kind of humor.
This is in poor taste. You could have chosen an event in the past, where hundreds of innocent lives weren’t lost, to illustrate your post about backdating entries.
I hear that there is a great night club in Bali. I hear that October is a great time to go, I’m planning on being there on the 12th…see you then?
@justcounttothree - this made me kinda upset too, but thats cause i lost someone very close to me that day… but i do understand it was all in fun… not meant to hurt anyone… at least… i don’t think it was… am i right dan?
LOL Awe damn…
@esch99 - I am sorry for your loss. It gives me chills what you said about a ordinary day going so terribly wrong.
That’s not very funny.
I won’t say I laughed, but won’t say I was upset by this either.
This is fun.
It’s funny just to see all these reactions. Personally, I’m not offended. And I lost someone in the attacks. Does that make me a horrible person? Maybe.
Everyone says it’s in such bad taste, but…
I chuckled.
I must be the devil.
I’ll admit this made me chuckle and roll my eyes. I have a sick sense of humor though. My sister in law’s birthday in September 11. 2001 was not a particularly fun party for her, but 2002 she got a cake with a toy airplane crashed in it.
Hell will be full of people I know.
Ha ha.
Lookfor the chargers and controlled demolition explosives throughout the building.
Wow that’s a dark joke…
oh wow…..
@justcounttothree - I was in the city too, I smelled the jet fuel, my friend was in the dustcloud and almost died of respiratory failure a year later. I have pictures of the shrine erected by the residents of Astoria in the huge Astoria gate under the N train. I could not return to college (BMCC) for a month.
And this was still funny as heck. Did the terrorists win? Can we not smile again, eight years later?
I’m seeriously effed out by confusion right now..
But then again, I just woke up.
This is fabulous! I think I may have woken up my roommate with my laughter.
I’m not amused.
@fullmetalbunny - 2002 may have been a fun year for Afghanistan.. but nothing really happened in Iraq, considering we didn’t invade until March 20th, 2003. Lots of pretty fireworks…
Ever see the photo of King Kong on the building and the caption says,”We needed him” ….
I Laughed til I cried on that..
It doesnt hurt to have a sense of humor …
Even if its sick.
I think that you are just like maybe Jesus’ brother since you arent dead right now… lol!
But seriously, that is a scary feeling to think how you “just missed that flight”… ROFL
hahaha.
that is just wrong
Naughty, naughty, naughty!!!
Look for a dildo as big as a 747. When you see it coming, just bend over and count to ten.
How distasteful.
For some reason I just pissed my pants laughing. Dan, you’re too much.
I’ll admit, I laughed. Hard. I’m the sort to make “Jews did WTC” jokes, so my reaction was not surprising to me. I think there are quite a lot of people who honestly put 9/11 up on a pedestal and demand that no one ever ever ever joke about it and hold it up as the single most shocking thing they can think of, because (and I quote) “lots of people died.” Lots of people died in the war we decided to enter afterward, and lots of people died in the earthquake, and lots of people died in previous wars, and forgive me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that /everyone/ dies. I don’t know, I just feel sad that people cannot let their guard down and laugh about something like this, when they may well find a different “sick” joke funny, like making fun of black people or Mexicans or the “towel-heads”. Human life is human life, whether it be American or Iraqi… mourn the Iraqis’ deaths as much as you mourn the American deaths.
Not the best example to do a back post entry,
I’m sure you’ll have a fun and great time! ;D
seriously, that’s just messed up.
but…
hahahaha…
Not cool man, not cool.
hahaha this is awesome
@fullmetalbunny - ahh for a moment i was so confused. but..after like 5 minutes i finally caught on. i giggled QUICKY because i felt just a tiny bit ashamed of myself… not for taking so long to understand the joke… but..because that’s just AWFUL!
clever. but AWFUL.
Not the best topic to joke about…
eh…
@PocketRocket94 - That. Was. HAILARIOUS.
@justcounttothree - I have to agree with you. The only thing worse than that is the fact that people think it is funny. I see nothing funny or comical about 9/11 at all.
@Floating_Above_the_Dance_Floor - It is distasteful and rude to the families of the people who died in 9/11. It has nothing to do with putting it on a pedestal. I would feel the same way about someone making a joke about the war. Considering that I have been called a terrorist, not because I am Middle Eastern but rather a bellydancer and became one after 9/11, I don’t find racial jokes to funny either.
I have a sense of humor I just choose to use it on things that are actually funny.
… wow. i just got it.
you are a brave man.
ZOMG LOLZ! This is TEH FUNNIEST!!! Man, I have such a SICK sense of humor. I’m a HIP, EDGY FREETHINKER!!! AM I COOL YET, GUYS?
Seriously, folks? This is not funny in the slightest. Thousands of people died on September 11, 2001 in a disgusting, malicious act of hatred. Thousands more have died in the wars that resulted. I don’t see anything humorous about that. There’s nothing wrong with not being able to laugh at this. Do we laugh about Oklahoma City? Waco? Pearl Harbor? No, we don’t.
And we shouldn’t.
And I suppose you’re planning to visit the campus of VA Tech on April 16, 2007?
Really, Dan….boobies, condoms on dildos, and this? I’ve been losing respect for you little by little….
It’s gone now. The “Enquirer” is in better taste than your site.
youre fucking retarted
hahah i get it now
that was actually pretty funny.
That’s not funny idiot. It’s BLASPHEMY!
YOU FUCKING Idiot! . May The Flash of Thunder and Lightning struck down on you and powderize you from this earth.!!! . You stink!
Oh, haha!
your ass stinks bastard!!!
I’m confused…. you wrote this recently? Call me slow.
Oh. I get it now.
Blonde moment. And, no comment. I don’t want to get hate mail.
Hilarious. I enjoyed that
rock on!
Man, that’s awful. No soup for you!
Sounds like fun! I’d totally recommend being on the 90th floor & start throwing pennies. Oh yeah, you might wanna bring a parachute just in case.
This is on one side of the scale. The number of times I’ve heard “let’s go fuck up those camel jockeys” is on the other. The latter is so. much. heavier.
I don’t dig this post explicitly, but I applaud the size of your nads and your level of confidence to be able to post it.
Look – Dan’s first ever post! So cool.
Good Lord…
Ouch! Hahaha…
no
just… no.
@ProfessorTom - What the hell is that supposed to mean? This post is fucked up but don’t you join him in generalizing an entire religion for some assholes actions.
@ShatterFreak – I found it vary offensive and treasonous that an American would try to crack such a joke. I found this back-dated post to be anti-American if you will, which makes me feel like if Dan wanted to make such a joke he should go join those who purportrated the act so he can be treated just like them.
To me, it would be the same as backdating a post to May 20, 1940 and saying, I’m visiting Auschwitz today. Are there any executions of note taking place today?
This post was in bad taste and Dan deserved to be called out on it.
<3.
You’re a terrible person, hahahaha.
Yuck Dan I am so ashamed of you
Can someone tell me how you can have a time stamp with a date from BEFORE your blog even existed? Anyone?
Take me with you.
I don’t think this was meant to be funny. It was meant to show 1) backdating entries and 2) how we never know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Point proven.
i don’t see this as bad taste at all. if you think about it, i’ll bet there were many blogs around the net using this same wording in 2001. we can see it as a sick thing to write, or look at it as another way to remember the lost from that year. interpretation is up to us. chose to remember.
Say hey to thexangateam while you’re there, Dan.
I wrote a comment expressing dislike of this post, then I noticed the date of the post. If this is to show that time is critical to each one of us, then your making apoint that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Many men and women didn’t realize that that day would be their last. Likewise, in the war that followed, many men and women didn’t realize that tomorrow would never come for them.
Make your peace today, for tomorrow is not promised for any of us, and we don’t know who we’ll not see tomorrow, if WE see anyone at all.
You ass.. hahahahaha ::headdesk::
@xxquarterlifecrisisxx - ooh, there’s an interesting way to look at it.
Back-dating posts is awesome. THE END.
Oh, trick! This is from a long time ago! Or I mean back dated. You should look out for planes.
Say Hello to a family friend who works in North tower. Tell her that her son loves her, even though he doesn’t show it.
…
Someone’s probably said this, but I couldn’t resist:
meeeeeeeeeeee.
Have a great time, Dan! Tell me how it was.
oh…goodness, I know this was most likely posted to be light-hearted, but it still made my stomach knot up. I can’t help but wonder about people actually going to a landmark like that right before it’s gone forever, this one in particular. I guess it reminds you not to take anything or anyone for granted. Make sure you enjoy your trip! There’s an amazing Japanese restaurant around 54th I highly recommend!
life is so transient…its almost too bad Im not religious!
there is a World Trade Center in Stockholm. About 10 stories tall. Let me know if you decide to come here
Very nice, at first I thought “how horrible!” and then as more and more people were disgusted the happier I got… I’m definitely not a professional sadist if that’s your implement.
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - you just type in the date you wanr when creating your post, or when editing a post you’e already made.
I wanna see one from the 1800′s…
I remeber the first time I commented this post. I told you to look out for airplanes. I still stand by my advice.
i hear jumping from buildings is a popular attraction there… you weirdo you…
I was almost in tower 2 that day. I didn’t get the job so I wasn’t but it would of been my first day! I still don’t think its funny.
ok, i’m stupid.
at first, I thought this was real.
but then i thought, oh yeah, you would be dead.
Okay, you almost had me. Still twisted though. Count yourself lucky. I was up there a week before that horrid day, taking my cousin from Europe sightseeing.
What a coiwinkidink, I’ll be going to the Pentagon tomorrow. Should make for an interesting trip.
There are several world trade centers!
How did you get a date like that?
i’m sorry but, how is this funny?
Only you…. LOL
GOOSE!
Bahaha!
Look for airplanes. Wear a parachute.
I will be in Reno waiting for a flight home…
This entry seems to keep popping up suspiciously on recs…
omg! where do you get such funny ideas from? hahha
lol!
I’d have to say pull the fire alarm at 8:00. =/ if that would be enough time. That or make a call.
See if you can see the Empire State Building from there.
Okay! The game is on. Let’s get it started!
I laughed. Hard.
I hope this isn’t a time-stamped post! I’ve been to the site. VERY depressing!
Words cannot describe how hard I lol’d.
Somewhere the Bad Taste police are speeding in your direction.
This was in very poor taste, Dan. VERY poor taste.
