It's not December 7 in the States yet, and certainly not in Hawaii.

You and TarJak need to get a watch it's still the 6th of December in the U.S.

Platapus · 12-06-11, 08:26 PM

What is this becoming a contest about who can be the first?

Uh Vendor, we know about Pearl Harbor. You really don't need to remind us. It is kinda big to the people on this forum.

I have not mentioned the word contest, and my ties to what happened, then is strong for several reasons, and I felt that there were grounds for a post .... or wait until the time zone is correct, which I can not do because of jobs.

I know, and this time I was just teasing. Yes, we do know about it and tomorrow everyone will be saying so, so you've done nothing wrong.

Thanks for showing support for us, and thanks for reminding us, whether we think we need it or not!

Of course two hours and twenty minutes of my day tomorrow will be spent watching Tora! Tora! Tora!

you don't say

EDIT: Couldnt resist! :P
I can tell the lady giving me a job interview tomorrow that 70 years ago as she and I are talking Pearl Harbor was being attacked.

August · 12-06-11, 09:29 PM

Tora Tora Tora sounds like a fine idea. Thanks Steve!

BTW Pearl Harbor rememberers: Hawaii is GMT-10 hours.

That means 7:48am Hawaiian time is 12:48PM US Eastern time. Or in other words the bombs started dropping right after lunchtime 70 years ago tomorrow.

Sorry to laugh but that movie came up today and someone said (regarding D-Day) "oh that's coming up tomorrow!" Uh, no. Wrong anniversary.

On a somewhat related note, I was talking to one of my fellow kenpo students about it (the movie) a couple weeks back and he told me about some guy he used to work with. He and my friend had both recently seen the movie and were talking about it, and the other guy asked if it was a true story. My friend started to say, well, there was a thing with one family where the brothers were all killed, but it was a different situation, and the Private Ryan in the movie was a fictional character and his story was made up for the movie, etc. The other guy interrupted him and said, no, I mean that whole thing with the beaches and Normandy and the war in France and all that...

This guy was an adult with at least a high school edumacation and HE DID NOT KNOW THAT WORLD WAR II WAS A REAL THING.

So altho some of us don't need reminding, there are some people who need a whole lot more than that.
