gwax's rumblings

I just came up with what I think is a good first line for a book and a not quite so good sec­ond line:

“Our par­ents used to ask each other if they remem­ber where they were when a man first walked on the moon or when the Berlin Wall fell; we used to ask each other where we were when the World Trade Center fell; now, if we can find any­one to ask, we ask where we were when the world ended.”

“I remem­ber where I was when the world ended; I was in a McDonald’s, and I didn’t even like McDonald’s.”
