Either I'm not following you, or the the zones have really changed since I was there.

USA writes month/day/year.
UK and much of the world writes day/month/year.

I just go outside and shout "WHAT IS IT?" and pretty soon someone will say "Saturday...October....twice" and that pretty much calms me down.

Sounds like Berkeley in the 70's.

Do they really say "Saturday...October....twice" once, or do they say "Saturday...October" twice?

Yes, I had to go over it a couple of times but now everybody knows what's expected; for yesterday they would answer WHAT IS IT? with Saturday (for the day), October (for the month), and twice (for the second day of the month). Only the 1st and 2nd days of the month can be called out as "once" or "twice" but all other days just require the number itself. For today, WHAT IS IT? would be "Sunday....October....3."

Doh . Will you be mad if I respond, "Sunday....October....thrice"?

That's totally acceptable as long as your enunciation is clear....one would not wish to hear "thrice" as "twice" and thus be a day off.

If I'm drunk I will say "3".

Photo of suspects released after teen girl shot in head by bullet

We never hear of people being shot in the head by a marshmallow.

Taliban release decree saying women must consent to marriage

I read it to mean that women no longer have a choice, but it's actually the opposite.

15-year-old killed in car crash by illegal immigrant allegedly under the influence

Teenage substance abuse is a big problem.

Maybe the folks at Faux Noise need ESL classes, irony.

Good grief - why feed the Q-trolls? This headline is dumb only because of its conspiracy-feeding implications:

"Record-Breaking Omicron Is Now So Bad in U.K. Even the Queen Has Canceled Christmas"

No, the Queen didn't cancel Christmas. She canceled a Christmas party. Using "cancel" and "Christmas" in the same sentence is garon-teed to bring out some village idiots with their torches and pitchforks.

It's the same kind of crazy shit that's going on in TN. I expect to be arrested in about nine hours (3am) over that nice note I sent that crazy TN state legislator. He's probably spitting mad and experiencing tremors that make the body go stiff for a brief time. He'll get over it.

If you post your street address here I'll make sure the Tennessee state legislature Sargeant at arms gets it.

My name, email address, street address, and phone number are all in the email I sent that stupid bastard. I made no explicit threats and am in no danger unless Kent elects to send someone here in an "unofficial" capacity, in which case I will be happy to consult with them. See, these morons take it for granted that all their constituents are ignorant. Even though I am not one of his constituents, I wanted to make sure he knows about me in the likely futile hope that he will stop being a wingnut. And as far as I know, the TN state house sergeant at arms has no authority outside the house chamber. I'll kick his ass.

Does this mean we're not going to have leftovers anymore? That's what we've been feeding them for over 20,000 years.
I didn't read the article; the headline was too dumb.

Funny.

I read a day or two ago about the great cream cheese shortage.

Went grocery shopping yesterday, shelves were full of dog food and cream cheese.
