Ladies!!! Got your eye on a special someone? Well, today is your Lucky Day! Folk custom has it that February 29th is the (only) day a gal may propose marriage to a guy.
So, if you’ve been a-pinin’ after Mr. Right, you’ve got until midnight to pop the question or back on the shelf you go for another four years.
Ignore me. I’m just posting nonsense so I can have a post with a Feb. 29 time stamp.
I make my own Leap Day at home. The commercial varieties give me gas.
I was awakened at 5:30 AM to storm sirens going off for a tornado warning.
Davy Jones died.
It’s my ex-best friend’s birthday.
Fuck Leap Day.
Well, that all really sucks, PapSett.
Is it Leap Day, or Hump Day today? Is it Leaping Hump Day? Humping Leap Day?
It’s Lump Day.
You might want to have a doctor look at that.
Lump Day - that magical day that happens when Leap Day falls on a Wednesday.
mee too!
HLD!
I finished my PhD 12 years ago today. A few years ago, I found out that the coworker three cubes down also finished her PhD on the same day on the other side of the Atlantic.
I’m always amused by advertisements that use the 24/7/365 claim. I wonder what day they won’t deliver this year. Probably today I would think.
That is all.
I’m with you on this one. There is no reason at all that today should not be a holiday of epic, and by epic I mean Christmas × 4 proportions, or at the very least New Year’s × 4, since that holiday is also just based on a quirk of the calendar.
I guess that means though, that we wouldn’t have to be all that creative. We would just need to sell it somehow.
This reminds me of February 29, 2000, when I got quite inebriated with my friends. And we were all very proud of ourselves for doing so, since the centennial leap year only occurs once every 400 years, making it bigger than Woodstock, or at least it seemed that way after most of a bottle of Jack.
But not by a lot. 
More adorably, it’s also Little Orphan Annie’s birthday (which is why she ages so slowly)
Woo, there were 29 posts when I started reading this thread!
I just spent some impromptu time with my mate who has a birthday today, and called another friend to remind him it’s his dads birthday. He wondered how I remembered, I don’t even know his dad.
Tornadoes hit the county I grew up in today and Davy Jones is dead. Leap Day - and, indeed, the entire month of February - can suck it.
Today is the day Sam Beckett never made it back home.
I got broken up with today, by my boss <the state of California> Yay layoffs!
I sense a new tradition starting.
In America, this happens instead on Sadie Hawkins day, which is in November.
Well, there’s always next time! :smack:
Bah, I spent Leap Day in a Hazardous Materials Shipping class. I did manage to snag a few geocaches afterwards but I forgot to come here and post. Damnit!
Lies! Lies and heresy!
