Every so often I come across a meme, cartoon or expression which makes me chortle… except that it is extremely date- or time specific, and can only be posted at a certain time or on a specific date, e.g.
So I have a folder on my system called “Date Specific” which contains all of those, and inside are sub-folders with names like “Tax Day 04-15”, “National Ammo Day 11-19” and so on, in which I keep said objects.
So a couple days ago (May 5) Reader Steve D. (who is, I think, Hispanic) sent me an email which contained the following:
Bravo, Steve. It took me a minute, of course, because Sinko Da Mayo is amazingly not a date which resonates with me, particularly as it isn’t as relevant to me as dates such as a former South African client’s daughter’s birth date (don’t ask, I never even met her) or the day I first French-kissed a girl (December 17, 1968) and so on.
Anyway.
The only problem (for me, anyway) is that I have to keep a mental note of annual calendar dates so that I can post the appropriate entry — and given my advanced state of age-related mental diffusion, that’s becoming increasingly difficult.
Which sucks, because if I happen to miss the date and fail to post the thing, I have to wait a whole damn year before it becomes relevant again.
Here’s one I missed last July 4th, for instance:
Please forgive this addled old blogger…

...and guess what? It’s the only part of Microsoft’s code that actually works as intended.
...because it’s a well-known fact that innovation thrives under a monopoly.

In Police Files:
...what happened to “terminating” or “prosecuting”?
...not a bad start. Eleven hundred down, eleventy millions to go.
And in Global Warming Climate Cooling Change© news:
...and in other news, the funeral for Irony will be held on Friday. And still on the topic of Cute Lil’ Animules:
...”horror moment”? How about “amidst mocking cheers and laughter”?
...missing from the headline: “Following massive bush fires which destroyed the koalas’ entire food supply and severely burned most of them…”
And in Sex Wars:
...I bet she can differentiate them better than you can, fairy Boy.
...which would be unremarkable except for the fact that Our Wayne was born in Liverpool and played for Manchester United for well over a decade.
And now [drum roll]… 
And as we stroll down 
:
World Cup’s hottest fan looks unrecognizable with dramatic new look as she wears bold F1-themed bra to Miami Grand Prix
...don’t know who she is? Well, here we see her at the Miami GP:
...and here she was at the World Cup:
Gives us a whole new perspective on the word “streetwalker”, huh?
Does this mean it’s Monday and back-to-work time?
And in our weekly diary:
Back to the usual stuff:
And to end all this with something(s) worth looking at:
