FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MORE DAYLIGHT FTMFW.

Right, because we magically produce an extra hour of daylight. Why not just wake up an hour earlier and see the daylight that is already there?

I know its not more daylight in realtime, but its gonna be extremely nice to go home from work in broad daylight.

I guess I should have said MORE DAYLIGHT AFTER WORK FTMFW.

seriously. It'll be a moral boost to walk to my car after work and not be in the dark.

You don't lose an hour of sleep.

Change your clocks at 5PM.

You mean go to bed an hour early?
Then I'll just lay there for an hour trying to get to sleep.

It's not my fault that you're defective.

I beg to differ!

Wait, OdiN is nakedfrog's dad?

:shocked:

Let me bold it for you. For you to be responsible for his birth defects, you must be his father. Me win in logic.

Yes, dear god please. The natural change in daylight times is enough to acclimate to all the time. Artificially futzing with the clocks makes it worse. We don't read by candlelight anymore, do away with the archaic time-futz.

Who said they were BIRTH defects? People can become defective later on in life, you know.
Some people are so insensitive.

Wow, thanks for this, I thought it was on the 23rd for some reason.

Congress made it start two weeks later and end two weeks earlier, or some random crap like that.

oh no! I hope I remember.

After you show up to your first appointment an hour late, you'll remember.

I hope not a lot of people have tests on Monday morning ;) (I know most people will figure it out some time on Sunday, but we all know at least one person who can go through Sunday without needing to know the time.)
