12-12-12 The last repetitive date in our lifetimes. |
But then I thought . . . this is true, but only if you ignore the small matter of two thousand before the last of the twelves. Suddenly it becomes silly numerology!
And then again, I realised that this is a day when USA and the rest of the world can unite. We are all writing the date in the same format for a change. Whether the format is dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy doesn't matter.
It is not a unique event, but that's not a reason to avoid a celebration.
I have explained "the dozens" to several midwestern white people because of this.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth it to see their horrified looks and hear them say "that doesn't sound very nice."
ahhhh I miss the East Coast big cities!
