Spunky | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 05:09 pm     No nominations today??? That solves our big dilemma...8/14 14/8 |
Eeyoreslament | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:23 pm     The only horses I can beat are the ones that are already down, dead, and buried. That said, isn't there a huge amount of humanity that doesn't even use our calendar? (Jewish, Chinese) |
Puzzled | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:32 pm     Quebec goes with 14/8, too. Maybe that's why HydroQuebec was able to keep the lights on.  |
Scorpiomoon | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:33 pm     LOL Puzzled! |
Nonconformist | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:32 am     Goddess, I am so glad that I didn't have any liquid in my mouth when I read your post. Because I would have sprayed my computer, which would not have been good, since I am at work. It would have been too hard to explain!! |
Catfat | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:36 am     Are we still waiting for nominations? Does anyone know what time the event will take place? |
Ophiliasgrandma | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:39 am     On the 'Live' thread, BB announced two hours till noms. That was at 10:22am, so I'd guess about 12:30pm. |
Bohawkins | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:40 am     Since the US is the ruler of the known world, it is 8/14. Justin and Robert. |
Battlestarz | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:55 am     I'll go by Star Trek's Star Date 200308.15 |
Kaili | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:58 am     Is that how they did the date on Star Trek? I never knew that. Hmmm. Maybe it should be changed to August 15 (or 15 August- I honestly don't care either way) though since the nominations weren't yesterday. |
Squaredsc | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 11:54 am     omg wood and gal, im roflmao. how did i miss this earlier. |
Cafe976 | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 12:04 pm     ::LURV:: to Woodpecker and GoddessAtLaw |
Bohawkins | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 01:42 pm     It's over Justin and Robert are the nominees. |
Earthmother | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 01:56 pm     I really wish it had been Justin and Jee (I know Erika made a deal with Jee) since it would have been a hoot to watch Ali and Jun running around campaining to keep their respective boy toys. |
Spunky | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 01:56 pm     Someone...please... Jee or Jun... go run to Jack and tell him Ali wants him out soon... I can't believe, here we have Jack who wants to keep Ali till the last 4 and Ali who wants to get rid of him soon.. Big miscommunication here. We'll see how long it will take for Jack to discover it... Meanwhile, Erika really wants Robert out and not Justin because she believes she'll be up next and will be voted out with Robert still there... How will she convince Jack that Robert has to go now??? Mmmmmm (here is the secret for my 14/8 ..I'm French Canadian living out West.... compris???) |
Beruthiel | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 02:32 pm     Oui, je compris! Je suis une Anglaise d'Angleterre, et 15/8/2003 est tres bon avec moi aussi! It's the logical sequence, day/month/year, and it's only these illogical Americains who insist on being different from tout le monde who make it complicated! [Pardonnez mon Francais, s'il vout plais. ] |
Jan | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 03:26 pm     yes Beruthiel..I live in Ontario and am English Canadian and we say 15/8 here too. I have many american relatives and it often leads to much confusion over dates. |
Twiggyish | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 03:37 pm     It's confusing. Don't you know the world will never change Americans. We don't conform very easily to other systems. (think metric) It doesn't matter how everyone else does it..LOL |
Seanflynn2003 | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 03:51 pm     Americans have a hard time with the concept that ours is the one right way to do everything; we have reinforced so much by politicians and the media that we are God's gift to the world. There is a lot of greatness to this country, I am happy for the privilege of having been born here, but we have plenty of room for improvement, and in a lot of things (metric being a prime example life ultimately would be far simpler and productivity greater if we adapted to metric) we should listen to the rest of the world more than we do. |
Tissy | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 03:59 pm     What about driving over in the states? we drive on the left - europe on the right confuses the hell out of me Which side do you drive on? <excluding when drunk driving> |
Seanflynn2003 | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:03 pm     Presuming you are from UK -- it's because of your empire that half the world drives on the left! (Much of Africa, Asia, Caribbean + Japan) |
Tmleafs4life | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:08 pm     I'm English Canadian, from Ontario, and I use M/D format... I guess its all individual preference. My parents have been here for 30 years and they still use D/M format. |
Seamonkey | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:15 pm     THE logical sequence, useful to computers and in math calculations is YYYYMMDD or Julian date YYYYDDD meaning the day of that year. Translating for humans is usually done.. and to me 15 August 2003 is probably the most understood. |
Miggles | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:25 pm     Also, Y/M/D is the Chinese style and when the year is omitted, it is M/D. Everything in Chinese is big to small -- this includes other hierarchical descriptions such as street addresses -- most logical in the world. |
Catfat | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:40 pm     EEEEEEEKKKK!!!! I just want to know who got nominated. |
Cameltoes | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:43 pm     LOL Catfat - Robert and Justin. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:45 pm     Send your birthday greeting, along with huge amounts of $$$, to my mailbox on 11/15 or 15/11. Please, no Francs or Canadian funny money. |
Catfat | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:48 pm     Thnak you, Cameltoes. Whew. |
Nexell2 | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:50 pm     I started a thread hours ago as to who was nominated. I found out on another board. Did I do wrong? just asking.Thanks |
Woodpecke® | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:51 pm     No Nexell. We were bored. Blame it on us. |
Jan | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:52 pm     wood go here to add your name and you just might get it (of course, not from me as I only have Canadian funny money ): official birthday list for TVCH members |
Nexell2 | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:54 pm     Ok- I know we need more feed posters and if I had the feeds I would do the late night when all the stuff seems to happen. Thanks to all the updaters anyway. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 07:19 pm     When you say 'this country' what country are you referring to? Sorry, but not everyone is so country-centric. |
