Now now, there's a difference between meaningless and arbitrary. The natural rhythms of time (days, seasons) certainly aren't meaningless, though weeks and months certainly are arbitrary (see the number of different calanders in use through-out history).

Which is why I operate on the Celtic calendar. Goes by the seasons and makes infinitely more sense that harassing some poor ground hog that's trying to hibernate every Feb 2. There's going to be more winter whether the poor thing sees his shadow or not. I'm just surprised that he hasn't bitten anyone.

Smart idea there! Do you get more ale by following that calendar too? <.<

Ironically enough, my parents were married on Groundhog's Day so I don't mind the holiday too much...though I have to say that I'm kinda surprised Phil hasn't gotten himself a finger or two for a snack myself!

Eh, I drink it whenever the hell I feel like it. Like I wanted to tell an NP recently when she tried to make me feel guilty about having an alcoholic beverage 4-5 times a week: What do you want? I'm Scots-Irish. If one half doesn't want scotch, the other half is lobbying for a Guinness! (Or Beamish, or McKeeson, or St. Peter's, etc. Heh, I just realized, I don't like American beer!)

Celtic just makes more sense because it goes with the solstices and equinoxes. Makes is a lot easier to get through the winter when you realize that at the winter solstice, the days start getting longer again.

PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HIPS AND PULL YOUR KNEES IN TIIIIIGHT!

But it's the pelvic thrust (groupsexgroupsexgroupsex) that really drives you insa-a-a-a-a-ane!

I've got an uncle who owns a vineyard. Nuff said about my drinking habits.

Back OT.... at my work we only accept cheques from businesses. One tow-truck company owner gave me a cheque dated Feb. 30. Fortunately I spotted the error and now he always asks what the date is before writing his cheques.

Date?

Haven't been on one for a while.

My last date was spontaneous... after attending our gaming group, my fiance and I decided to go out to dinner somewhere other than where everyone else was going. It turned into a nice romantic evening, despite my attempt to eat something you're not supposed to eat. (a leaf wrapped around a piece of chicken... a kitchenhand rushed over and said "excuse me sir, people don't usually eat those". I thanked him and found the chicken did indeed taste a lot better without the leaf)

I actually had to look at the calendar when reading this. I don't know right off hand how many days are in a given month. I know some of them but most of them I just have to look at the 3 different calendars that I have hanging in the house. I use the one big running calendar that I have for writing down all the appointments and events coming up and it is fun to look over it at the end of the year to see how busy I was.

I thought those were a myth!

I use the knuckles on my hand to tell. You start with January on your index-finger-knuckle, and then move through the months by counting the knuckle and the space between. Once you get to July on your pinkie, you go back to August at your index finger and start over.

I hope that makes sense. *joins the smilie brigade*

I was taught a similar one... only instead of going back to the index finger, you just repeat the little finger and go backwards.

I've been on a grand total of two dates. And one of them was in high school.

I really don't have any use for dates. I'd rather just hang out with people I like. Of course, then it can be a bit hard to go from "we're buddies" to "we're possible companion material" but it's a lot less stressful than the whole dating thing.

^-.-^

[morgana]

Date?

Date . . .

Hmmm, new word. Wonder what it means.

[cinema guy]

I remember dates. I went on one back in the last millennium.

As I said to someone at work the other week, "You know that phrase about being put back on the shelf? I've never been off the shelf, but the view's good."
