    It's 12/12/12, the last day most of us will see where day = month = year. The next will be 01/01/01, in just over 88 years time. Unless there are some truly astounding medical advances in the future, I won't see it, but I can live with that.

    All together now: One Two, One Two, One Two ...

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Make a new feature request to the boards developers... "timed or post-dated posts".
    So you can write the same post and schedule it for 01/01/01.

    As usual, the Americans get things bass-ackwards, so they'll be celebrating International Microphone Testing Day on 12/12/12 instead. Silly Colonials. :cool:

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Check, One Two, One Two, Check

    Check, Check, One Two, Check, Check

    It has to be one of the above, it's obvious to me that you've never heard a real soundcheck in your life.
    How dare you open a thread with such a fraudulent post.

    Good day to you.
