[Puppet Guy]

- OJ trial verdict: this was while I was in university in PEI, so I was probably studying or drunk. didn't register on my radar at all.

- Princess Diana's death: Charlottetown, waking up to go to work.

- 9/11: Halifax. Was working in a pub doing morning prep when our delivery guy came in and told us what was going on. We got to the TVs in time to see the first tower collapse.

- Canada hockey gold in Vancouver: My living room in Calgary. I bounced around the room screaming "IT'S IN! IT'S IN!" and hoped my excitement wasn't going to put Mrs. Puppet into early labour.

- Gretzky trade: Lethbridge, frantically trying to mow the lawn as fast as possible so I could catch the presser. I recall feeling quite elated.

- Flames eliminating the Canucks in OT: Calgary, living room of my old apartment. I first screamed "WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME?!?!?!" to the hockey gods when Van tied it, then screamed for joy a la The Olympic gold description. Mrs. Puppet hadn't yet come on the scene.

- Challenger explosion: Lethbridge, coming home from school for lunch. Felt pretty numb the whole day afterwards.

- 1st Iraq Gulf war: Lethbridge, working in a kitchen and getting ready to close when we heard the planes were in the air.
