I had a co-worker tell the boss "I don't work on 9/11, it's a holiday of remembrance for me" mentioning that he had family from new york. He was full of shit and just used it as a free day to drink.

Many people use Pescatarianism Pride Day as an excuse to drink rather than remembering why we observe it.
We drink like fish on 9/11, but our gold fish brains deny us the memory of why
In memory of every pescatarian who died.
real heroes don't wear capes...
i crafted a respectful and true-to-ourselves hashtag for this beautiful movement
#9/11sleepwiththefishes
*sleep signifies how soundly we sleep knowing pescetarianism is saving the world (in a non catholic way)
#AmericaDeserves9/11. For too long pescatarianism has been underrepresented on menus. It's time to confront America head-on.
I talked to a halibut the other day.
She whispered in my ear "Bush did 9/11".
Who am I to argue, I don't even have gills.
Every proud pescatarian can say they did 9/11 after next week.
Doing a Catholic fish fry to own the Muslim extremists.
That's a harmful stereotype to associate Pescatarian-Americans with Catholicism. What if I said "Oh you're Italian? So you must not be able to read." You would have someone read that sentence to you and it would hurt your feelings.
What are you saying? Do you think fish is too good for the Irish?
I'm saying pescatarianism is widely practiced throughout many cultures. Associating it with Catholics drags us down to their level.
I wasn't saying all pescatarians would join in the fish-fry. I just thought, as a member of another religious group, known for ritual pescatarianism could use their religious traditions to reclaim that day from Muslim extremists.
Next Monday, fly our flag
What's this flag gonna look like? Maybe a fish on the left, and a grilling fork on the right?
A rainbow with all the colours greyed out except blue, for the sea.
