20/20/2020 --how should we celebrate?

Hurry up folks, you only have 4 days left to get ready! It’s party time!!!

This is the only day in your lifetime when American-format dates will match the rest of the world’s, with 8-digit symmetry.
Bonus points if your party begins at, of course… 8:20* pm,

(but you poor Yankees will have to do a little math to figure out why. I dunno why, but Americans always get confused about the 24 hour clock.)

I am old, and have a bad memory- remind me again, which month is the 20th? :stuck_out_tongue:

umm–never mind. I’m drinking.

but it was fun while it lasted.
:slight_smile:

:metal:
Rocktober!
:metal:

Shit, sounds like a good party!

I’ll have what you’re having.

Oh, no. No, no, no.

2020 does not have twenty months! 2020 is over in 15 more days!

If there was going to be any year that secretly had 20 months, it would be this one.

Is that vigintemember, or do we follow the 2 off rule, and it’s actually octodecember(or duodevigintemember)?

Lousy Smarch weather…

According the French Revolutionary Calendar, the 20th month would be Frigidaire.

There are only two things to celebrate about 2020: Biden’s victory and a Covid vaccine. 2020 may now get its ass out the door posthaste.

Of course there is also the first day of the first month, the 2nd day of the 2nd month, and on thru Dec 12.

Actually, we’d probably do better to consider that 2020 does have 20 months. Because the first 20 - 12 = 8 months of 2021 will be just about as COVIDtastic as the last half of 2020 was/is.

If we consider that 2020 runs to the end of Aug upcoming, we’ll have corralled almost all the bad into 2020 and we can start 2021 in Sep in a clean condition with low disease headcount, few ongoing deaths, low disease risk for all, and Biden in the White House. (I fervently hope on all 4.)

Back to OP @chappachula, this thread is great! I’m glad for your inspiration.

Unfortunately, under my proposal we need to wait 8 months and 4 days before the party really gets rolling!

The pre-party between now and then might be epic though. :wink:

I would guess that OP is trying to tell us about this day and time :

For a while there, the way things were going, it felt like we would have been lucky if the year had only 20 months.

This is reminiscent of the riddle:

How many seconds are there in a year?

(Bonus points if you can solve this in your head.)

Answer:

Twelve

Huh?

January second, February second, March second, et cetera.

@Senegoid: I’ll just leave this here :wink: :

I gotta confess, LSLGuy, I don’t get the joke or pun (?) in the second xkcd panel.

Completely agree with the sentiment though…

The guy told the riddle wrong. It should have been,

“Angry and hungry are two words in the English language that end in ‘gry’. Try to think of another one. What is the third word in the English language?”

“Angry” and “hungry” are beside the point of the riddle. The operative question is “What is the third word in ‘the English language’?” The character in the panel stated the riddle incorrectly.
