What was the massacre committed by Mormons on a wagon train made up of non-Mormons that was passing through their territory? I remember seeing a doc on History Channel about it.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Mountain Meadows Massacre.
It ALSO happened on my birthday. As did Pinochet's junta. September 11th has had crappy stars for a looooong time.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Damn. If it weren't for your birthday, that date would have absolutely nothing going for it. And your birthday is a shiny and fabulous thing, but it's a little unfair of the universe to expect you alone to balance out everything else it's dumped on that day.
::looks all squinty-eyed at the universe, particularly 9/11's crappy stars::

My mom and I are so twisted that I jokingly thank her for waiting that extra week. I think Mr. Olbermann may be the real-life human I've tagged most...considering my attitude about Turkey Day this year, it seemed to fit without celeb nuptials. Note to self: buy and bring cake.(cause I'm a freak that doesn't like pumpkin) Hec was the tag I kept longest.

Also the day that Stephen Colbert lost two brothers and his dad in a plane crash. So not a good day (Trudy hippo birdies aside).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

At the wake, one of his (much) older brothers gave him a copy of The Hobbit to read to take his mind off of things. That's how he became such a big Tolkien fan.

Yup, Mountain Meadows. Not a subject of popular discussion in these parts. To the church's credit, they do cooperate when historians want to investigate the matter.
