Okay okay, I’m going to bed now.

Dude, that’s the coolest day ever! Think about it…it’s the most of any one number in a row in a date. It’s better than 8/8/88 and 9/9/99, because there are techically zeros in front. Man, it doesn’t get any better than this until we get to 2/2/22!
(Yes yes, I know there is also a 2 and a 0 in front of the year, but I’m not going to live another 109 years. Hmm…11/11/1111.)

March 3, 2003 is one day before my 29th birthday. Fooey.
I don’t want to wait until 3/4/34 to do something crazy, darnit. Or better yet, 3/4/74, when I’ll be 100 years old.

On June 7, 1989, my husband came home from work just so that I could take a photo of him standing by a clock and pointing to his watch when it was 11 minutes and 12 seconds after 10.
6/7/89, 10:11:12
He is the only person I’ve ever known who finds humor in statistics books…
One of Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughters was born at 8:00 on 8/8/88. I think it was Princess Beatrice.

I got married on 02/02/02. I think Mrs. Scribe was trying to make sure I’d remember our anniversary.

If I recall correctly, there was a couple who got married at 8:08 on 8/8/88 in the town of Eighty-Eight, KY.
I also delighted when my digital watch (twice) showed the date and time as 12:34:56 7/8/90.

What happened May 6th, 1978, at 34 minutes past noon?

I liked it.

**cmkeller** ’s is the best yet, tho (all the digits in ascending order)
What would the date be, or have been, for all the digits in _descending_ order?
