By the way, the decade of the 2010's does not end tonight as many are saying. We don't start counting years at "zero." We start counting at "1." So the first year of this current decade was 2011, not 2010. This decade lasts one more year. Just so you know.
Edited to add, my pal Lightning said they did this bit in a Seinfeld episode that I had long forgotten. You can see the punchline here and be sure to read the comments for some further explanation and debate!. Thanks, Lightning.
In case your Christmas was a bust....
There was a great Seinfeld episode about this concept. Newman made a reservation for a party years before, only to hear what you wrote. I thought of that as I wrote about the end of the decade in my blog, so fooey on you!
ReplyDeleteAnd ... ummm yeah, I noticed the pictures.
Wow, I had totally forgotten that bit from Seinfeld, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. I added a link in the post to the clip.
DeleteHappy new year everyone in the Robsphere!
ReplyDeleteRobsphere? I like that!

Happy New Year Rob!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lester. You too.
DeleteThe West Wing also addressed this issue. I'm with Sam on this one.

Ha. I didn't remember that. But not only is Toby right, Sam essentially conceeded the point...basing his argument on "common sensability"!
DeleteEven the DC police wanted to arrest Toby for his stupid argument!
