Where Will YOU Be 08.08.08 08:08:08
August 7, 2008(This is a duplication of my post at 37below, but with bonus colons in the blog title.)
I'm sure this has been blogged to death elsewhere, elsewhere being other More Sophisticated Blogs, but it's hard to resist this many eights. This Friday will be August (08) Eighth (08), 2008 (08). And if that wasn't enough to make your head spin, you can throw the time on top of that, 08:08:08 (which is eight minutes and eight seconds after eight o'clock in the morning.) What does all of this mean? Absolutely nothing, I'm sure - but as one who gets excited when the car's odometer turns to some even number, like 10,000, I have to point all of this out and comment on it.
So what will I be doing during the Big Second? Normally I would be in the midst of the morning Getting Ready For Work Ritual, but I plan to pause and yell "WOO HOO!" to no one in particular. Then I'll go back to brushing my teeth or whatever.
What will YOU be doing to celebrate the Big Second? Leave a comment - and make sure to set all of your clocks and watches to the Official Atomic Time. We wouldn't want anyone Woo Hooing a second or two late. And if you end up doing something crazy and exciting, consider snapping a cellphone or digital camera pic and email it over. I'll be happy to post the most interesting, colon-free photos here. Bonus points for any zombies celebrating the Big Second in some way.
Comments
I hope to sleep through it, myself. Don't approve of that hour of the morning.

I'll probably be riding up the elevator to work. Maybe I can get lucky and freak out a fellow passenger with a loud woo hooo!
Maybe I should have booked a room at a hotel that has the number 8 in it. That would make the 08.08.08 experience Super!
