Early daylight-saving switch. Be sure to set your clock an hour forward tonight.

This is one more hour of precious, precious sleep I don't get.
The Makeout Hobo is real, and does indeed travel around the country in his van and make out with ladies... If you meet him, it is customary to greet him with a shot of whiskey and a high five (if you are a dude) or passionate makeouts (if you are a lady).

I can sleep in as late as I want Sunday morning. Plus, I have this whole week off, so I'm not going to miss one hour that much. All things considered, this is as good a time as any for the clocks to go forward as far as I'm concerned. :D

If my clocks were $*&?ing, I think I'd leave them alone and give them a little privacy. I can always come back later when they're done.

Um..., since when does Ben Franklin have anything to do with Daylight Savings Time? As I recall, DST was invented in Canada by Sir Sandford Fleming as a way to keep the trains on time. I may be wrong, but if I am I know I will be met swiftly by many people telling me so. As it stands, I am going to jump over to wikipedia and check my facts before someone kicks my ass.

EDIT: OK, just checked and you can all have one free shot at my ass with your foot. Sandford Fleming introduced Universal Standard Time, not Daylight Savings Time, but for the same reason as i stated previously. It seems I was mixed up a small bit. I obviously dont know much about American history. (can you blame me? Im Canadian) So ya, one free shot for all, to be redeemed no later than midnight tonight.

What a great time for it to happen, at the beginning of Spring Break. Now it won't effect students' ability to be on-time to class the next day.

Unless they're stupid enough not to change their clocks when they get back from vacation, in which case they'll still be late. Sigh.

While it can't be stopped, I'd rather not see this happen.

Originally, a clone account was as close to a perfect match of the original account as could be had; same avatar, same sig, same location. The only thing that was different was the username and even that was as close to the original as possible, often substituting in letters or numbers where they would in theory be least noticeable (I or 1 for "l" and so on). They were used to confuse posters who just glanced at the posts they were reading and it really was a strange way of paying respect to the cloned individual. Only a handful of people had them and they were not, typically (ever?), owned by the owner of the original username.

Of course, the Duck here isn't following that same tradition to a "T" but if it's all the same, I'd like to see clones stay low in number.

And now I notice lack of sig and location. Pfft. Alea, you dork.

But, uh, clearly I knew that and was helping the newbies get the picture.

The clocks at my school are all controlled by some kind of master system and whoever is in charge of it put the clocks back a week prematurely. Naturally, they'll probably just wait out the week rather than fix it and then fall back again. :roll:
