Yeah, I know, I'm a bit early...and ATOT will probably forget, and 10 people will post the same thing...but, at 0200 Sunday, Daylight Savings Time comes to an end for those of us who play the silly time-change game...Time to turn the clock BACK one hour...

Also the recommended time to change batteries in the smoke detectors...

Remember back when we actually did have to change our clocks and people were late/early to stuff? Sad times. This is easily the greatest effect of computers and cell phones.

cannot wait.

I really struggle to wake up when my alarm goes off at 6 am and it's pitch black outside.

I'm working midnights. Not looking forward to watching the clock twice read 2am.

I'm gonna seek out the bastard that invented DST and kick him in the nuts so that his seed would/could never propagate the gene pool. What a retarded fucking idea that was.

You wanna save time, WAKE YOUR ASS UP EALIER!!! How fucking simple was that? NO, we have to go and fuck up the very concept of time, just because some dumb fuck couldn't set his alarm clock one hour earlier, or later.



Enough with the profanity. A simple F-bomb is fine. You are making my ears bleed.

What is this DST of which you speak?

<--- Lives in Hawaii :awe:

When I wake up on Sunday morning I will be one hour closer to all of you. Think about it. Be afraid...

Educate yourself. It's actually a pretty logical, reasonable thing to do - depending on which industry you have interest in, lol.

I know what it is, it's snake oil selling, and it's retarded.

Instead of adjusting ourselves, no - let's go fuck up time so we can fool ourselves. Pathetic humans!
Fluoridation makes people docile and more willing to accept stuff like DLT, Dancing w/ Stars, and genocide.

Sometimes, people just don't realize that they're nobody. Yes, I'm talking to you.
