Once again we’ve all been robbed of an hour of our Sunday. And adding the customary insult to injury, we now have to get up before dawn again until the sun catches up to Daylight Savings Time. Here’s an idea: Next year, let’s have this “spring ahead” nonsense on Monday afternoon. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon on the second Monday in March, let’s bump all the clocks ahead to 5! Just don’t fuck with the “fall back” part. I like that. —Sleepy, Dopey, and Cranky

I can get behind this idea in a Biiiiig way!
Wow. Two DST bitches in one day. That must be some sort of a record. 😛

oh yeah, and losing an hour in the live stock market…. I’m sure investors would love that….
oh and all the legacy mainframe code they’ll need to re-write… right after re-learning how to code in COBOL again.
humorous but highly impractical bub
Z3: way to go bud… perfectly good dream shot to shit! boo you!
Stop being all practical-like, Mister!
Thanks Z3…first you ruin Christmas and now this. Remind me to stay off the board come Easter time.
Dump DST, go to a 24hr world clock and get rid of time zones, then it’ll be the same time everywhere.
Hey, Hugo, were you cutting across the Hollis Street side of the Joe Howe building this afternoon (about 5:40 p.m.)? Hat-bearing dude with glasses and a very Twainy mustache, curly grey hair, late 40s breezed past me outside as I stood inside the building trying to warm my pendulous ass. First thought, holy fuck, I’ll bet that’s Hugo – son of a bitch!
hey dopey, it’s been done today, already. it’s old bitch now. grow the fuck up, and live with it, you aren’t going to get it changed.
Make that around 4:40 p.m. – I have to reset my synapses each spring.
Nope, not me TTFN. I only wear a hat when it rains 😉
DST is for morons afraid of the dark plain and simple. Grow up!
Really? You probably complain about jet lag on a flight to Toronto.
