Also: what the fuck? I've never heard of this silly clock.
You're too young. It was a bigger deal in the 80s, when the Russkis were about to blow us all up.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Dammit, our Academic Decathlon topic was the '80s. I don't think that was in the curriculum.

I sometimes have that effect on people.

What is even happening?
The clock came about in the 1950s, though.

Yeah, and it was moved after 9/11. But I didn't hear about it. Maybe because I wasn't on b.org at the time, and b.org is where I get all my cool news.

Always Anti-fascist!
Work a campaign...that will kill any phone fear you ever had(except for the scary ones looking for the money I owe them) Sometimes I feel tempted to say "You know, I don't know where that money is either...do you wanna buy a book? I've written two." Or sometimes I want to freak them out and be all friendly "Hey, I thought it was you!" But my luck would be there's a law against messing with debt collectors.

OMG now I feel really old.

I am not old enough to remember when it came out, but I am definitely old enough to remember when it was like 11:59:45 or some shit during the Reagan era. Not that it's a digital clock.

I am not known for my being on top of current events.

It should be. Digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
