@cengland0 It is an unmourned tragedy that we have one too few months for there to have even potentially been a Friday the 13th in Undecember of 2013. (If we shifted to having thirteen 28-day months, we could have either a Festival day between years, with two of them every fourth year, or the calendar for the year would be a single grid that simply shifted one day or two days after each Undecember, according to whether it was a leap year. Which would mean an entire year of months with a Friday the 13th, or every year if you have Festival. But this would make far too much sense, so it can never be implemented.)
@cengland0
There are 365 or 366 days in a year. 28x13=364. So we could have a far simpler calendar by having 13 months of 28 days, with the leftover one or two set aside as an automatic holiday or as a bump at the end of the thirteenth month, which I have preemptively declared to be Undecember because December was so named when it was the tenth month of the Roman calendar, and Latin for “eleven” is Undecim. That way, we could potentially have a Friday the 13th every month, and 2013 could have had a date of 13/13/13. But alas, we have the chaotic and irrational twelve-month calendar instead…
@werehatrack if you want to go all the way back to the Roman calendar, March was the first month and January proceeded February like it does today but January was the 11th month and February was the month that they used to throw in all the extra dates left over. So whenever a tweak to the calendar was needed to be made for leap years they always added it to the last month of the year.

Two-packs of cases of flavored coffee so that even if you like it before you order, you’ll hate it before you work your way through it. Two-packs of LCD projectors so that you can simulate dual monitors on your wall, or so that you have a spare ready to fail when the first one craps out in mid-presentation. Two-packs of indoor electric grills so that you can pop the kitchen breaker faster. (Best done during a blizzard that keeps you from going out to the panel to reset.) But most precious of all, IRKs with two IRK bags - for ten bucks instead of five.
This means that not only is it twice as free as it was before, your packages will be shipped via Pitney Bowes and will enjoy a minimum of twice the scenery of across the US as they make their way to their destination, and take a minimum of twice the time they would with another shipper.
@f00l If mehrathons typically happen on Thursday, if one launches at midnight Eastern time that would still be 2/2/22 Texas time, so the twos could be a winner. Or not.
I didn’t get the 1st date right but I’m doubling down on my prediction for the 2nd date! I’ll even go so far as to name it. It will be called the “Ni-rathon”. Why? Because Ni means 2 in Japanese and I’ve recently seen “Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail” so it also makes for a good reference to “The Knights Who Say Ni”.
For providing Meh with this brilliant idea, I demand they sell a shrubbery during the Ni-Rathon. No, make that TWO shrubberies. Both that look nice. And not too expensive.
@Rueki
I’m going to change that name to the NO-rathon! No in the English language means not, no indeed,
absolutely not, most certainly not, of course not, under no circumstances, by no means, not at all, negative, never, not really, no thanks, nae, nope, nah, not on your life, no way, no fear, not on your nelly, no siree, naw, and nay!

@Ignorant I actually posted with the \ for the shrug emoji and it didn’t show up. Not sure why.
@Rueki if you don’t use the /shrug command (at the start of a new line), you’d need to type it in like this
¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯for it to display correctly.@Ignorant @Rueki
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That would be just 2 much, 2 easy, or 2 soon.
@werehatrack And every deal will be a 2-fer deal. Especially in the 2-22-22 Mehrathon.
You can bank on it being entirely 2-fer Tuesday deals.
@mike808
The 22nd is a Thursday…
@werehatrack Can I have some of what you’re smoking?
Today is Tuesday. Today is 02/02. So 3 weeks from today will be the 22nd. That makes 02/22/22 a Tuesday.

@mike808
Today, I am smoking nothing, but tomorrow I am smoking pork ribs using pecan wood. They will be excellent.
@mike808 @werehatrack
Funny you should say that. I’m planning to smoke some cream cheese and some olive oil tomorrow… With pecan wood!
@mike808 @werehatrack
And here I thought you were going to say smoking dope.
Whose lifetime are we talking about?
@2many2no
The kind of lifetime in a Magellan Lifetime Maps Update guarantee.
But any date is a once-in-a-lifetime date. Are we ever going to get back 1/1/2022?

@cengland0 @werehatrack I’m in awe.
This makes sense. Also to sell things in pairs. Two phone chargers, two sets of Cuisinart, 22 trackr pixels. If there are any left

And best of all, JUST FOR VMP MEMBERS, Double Free shipping.
This means that not only is it twice as free as it was before, your packages will be shipped via Pitney Bowes and will enjoy a minimum of twice the scenery of across the US as they make their way to their destination, and take a minimum of twice the time they would with another shipper.
@ironcheftoni @mike808 @werehatrack Double free! Genius!
NOPE!! Not today meh says.

Oh well, guess not for 2-2-22. What a missed opportunity.

I predict that you have no future in predictions…
Maybe no mehrathon today, but still plenty of sheet.
@macromeh
I’ve had enough of this sheet already.
@macromeh @werehatrack
But this is different sheet than the other sheet.
Ok. TwodleTwo for now.

Are you sure that cousin isn’t twice removed?

@Rueki Careful, Meh - I think you can see where this is heading…

And one a bit higher than the other.

@romellex
Better not be 2/22/22.
That’s the only day I will be unable to participate in any shape or form.
If it’s 2/22/22 I’m going to kidnap Irk and sacrifice him to the moon God.
The All-Twosday Mehrathon will be starting in a few minutes. Get ready y’all.
@Rueki
you lied and I hate you now
Hey @carl669:
Join me!
I don’t just “hate”. I fucking hate.
“Hatred” is way better when we have the motherfucking intensifier.
Ooops
See you in another 1,011 years OP for 3/33/3033 (March will have 33 days then)
