Also: what the fuck? I've never heard of this silly clock.
OMG I feel old.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It was a bigger deal in the 80s, when the Russkis were about to blow us all up.
Dammit, our Academic Decathlon topic was the '80s. I don't think that was in the curriculum.
OMG I feel old.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dammit, our Academic Decathlon topic was the '80s. I don't think that was in the curriculum.
OMG now I feel really old.
The clock came about in the 1950s, though.
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.

They didn't set it ahead in October 2004 when the Red Sox won?

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

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

No, I just mentioned that, because I'm not so sure it ought to belong in academic decathalon materials on the 80s.
