Can't the government keep their hands off my clock?

Just like jet lag,deal with it.

And the 1999 Darwin Award winner is.....

(5 September 1999, Jerusalem) The switch away from daylight savings time caused consternation among terrorist groups this year. At precisely 5:30 Israel time on Sunday, two coordinated car bombs exploded in different cities, killing three terrorists who were transporting the bombs. It was initially believed that the devices had been detonated prematurely by klutzy amateurs. A closer look revealed the truth behind the untimely explosions.

So some internal clocks became external clocks.

Shit, now I've got to re-do my whole schedule.

7 AM - Masterbating in the moonlight will have to be moved to 6 am.

8 am - pagan rituals as the sun comes up will have to be moved to 7 am.

9 am - the early Morning ritualistic abortions / sacrifices will be moved to 8 am.

10 am - making fun of teabaggers and religious kooks has always been free form so they won't be affected that much.

Spring forward, fall back?

Do the farmers this idea was originated for still need this archaic practice to continue?

Spud sez nay.

Be Well.

Daylight saving time, Ben Franklin's worst idea.

I generally agree, but the results made the practice seem justified.

However, I'm still trying to decide about having sex with Marie Antoinette. She was good, no doubt, well practiced and skilled, and she helped us win the revolution, but boy, that twat was skanky.

I think the farmers were never involved. It was done for the golfers so they had time to play after work.

FF!

Up to me, we'd never go off of DST.

"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun ..."

DAMN YOU BEN FRANKLIN

why couldnt you have just found another hooker to screw in Paris instead of coming up with this?

How about if we just go forward half and hour and split the differentce? That way there is no switching back and forth.

I remember a time when DST didn't beging until LATE April. And now it starts in November, meaning that at 6pm on Halloween it's not that dark yet. The wise people in D.C. are not so wise.

DST sucks. It should be abolished.

DST should only be, if at all, in the spring. You don't need it in summer when the sunset is late enough as it is. When it's hot, it doesn't make sense.

I would be quite happ with the sun going down at 8 pm in the summer instead of 9.

Hmmm... just dawned on me the best time to pass away would be between November and March so you wouldn't get cheated out of that extra hour.

when has a farmer ever considered what time it is? that just shows the logic involved in this forum. i'm surprised no one blamed bush. that is usually the depths you brainiacs achieve.

As a kid I loved DST. One more hour to play outside.

Yeah!!!!

If Springing ahead one hour is good then why not five hours ahead and all year long. While we're at it make every other day Christmas, oops sorry libs how about every day being Ramadamn.

OK, all my clocks are already set to DST, the ones I have to set mannually anyways. This year I won't rant about DST like I do every year.

Great choice, Christine. Listened to that many times during the psychelic 70s.

I knew you'd like it, sweetie : )
I always liked that one too.

Time is relative 8-o

ask your M-I-L to fix your clock

"I always liked that one too."

Of course you did, Christine. You heard it many times on acid, no doubt.

So now, those of us who Actually get up in the morning are plunged back into darkness, while the dilitants of this world sleep in and play in the light into the evening. How lovely for them.. .

It takes a month to recover biologially from this bullshit time change. And DST saves absolutely No electricity, since those of us who work for a living and our children who get up for school have to turn on the lights, the toaster, the oven, run the hot water, et al.

This thread is ruining my Saturday night. I'm already feeling tired and the night is still young. Thinking about loosing an hour somewhere between now and Monday morning when the alram sounds to get up and get going back to work is just not fair to do to a person on a Saturday night.

I was just getting into my music on Pandora and the brown stuff in the glass next to my PC. What a drag.

Party poopers!

"And my soul has been psychedelicized."

Yup, sounds like Cali Christine.

You heard it many times on acid, no doubt.

Sorry, I wasn't any big acid freak. I did do my fair share of partying, though. Lots of partying.

Here it is 11 PM, no wait I think it's midnight, just pulled up from FDITNB and heading off to the land of the bizzare (sleep).

Did I change the clocks earlier or is it really 1 AM? Hmmm... I'll figure it out when the sun comes up.

All you leftists out there don't forget to set your clocks back an hour,

BPH-
re: All you leftists out there don't forget to set your clocks back an hour,

Why, that wouldn't be progressive. We should set them forward an hour. Of course that will merely advance the progressive agenda of equal rights and social and economic justice by an hour, which we all know is a commie/fascist agenda devised by president Wilson to drive idiots like BPH insane in the 21st century.

Makes losing that hour just a little less melancholy LOL

Okay, I had to snort over that one. Funi flaggins!

America just lost 35,257 people-years approximately.

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
