I'm impatiently waiting for it to be burrito o'clock.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't figure out what I want for lunch. It's so freezing in my office, I'm thinking about soup.

Looking at all the locales that are defined on my Mac, only the US and South Africa use MM/DD/YYYY. All other English speaking countries (along with Brazil, Israel, and Spain) use DD/MM/YYYY.

The rest of Western Europe uses DD.MM.YYYY, except for Norway, which uses DD-MM-YYYY. Some Eastern European and Asian countries use YYYY/MM/DD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Apparently the problem with the world oil market is there's too much oil on the market. At least that's what Libya says. They might cut their oil production because of this.

Or maybe they just can't produce as much oil as they used to....

Sorry, it's The Netherlands that uses DD-MM-YYYY, not Norway.

Do you know what India uses?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Much ma to Pico.

Shir--I hope the evening is as wonderful as the dress!

Sorry, MacOS doesn't have an Indian locale defined.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

India uses dd-mm-yyyy (I suspect that the punctuation varies a good bit for any of these locales, but the date is definitely day first).

I think you're outta luck when it comes to translating your dates, tommyrot. It's just us and the South Africans holding out.
