Eve… Is That You?
2009 begins tomorrow. Do you call it “two-thousand and nine”? I say it is “twenty oh nine” [or "twenty ought nine" if I'm feeling especially priggish puckish]. Since I am not likely to still be alive when the 22nd century rolls around, this is the last of the ought-years I will see. Hmm, better make sure I irritate as many people as possible with it this time around….
Does anyone remember what candy claimed the year 2000 as their own? [And yes, I did call it "two-thousand" like everyone else rather than "twenty-hundred." You were wondering that, right?] Here’s a hint on the candy. it was IX years ago…. I thought it was very clever, but I got the impression that that ad campaign didn’t go over very well.
See you tomorrow next year!

well whatever you call it i hope it’s a happy one for you.
Have a wonder new year!! For your question: Starburst Jelly beans by The M&M Company? or the REESE’S NUTRAGEOUS candy bar? **can you guess I’ve been googling?**
Happy New Year! I vote for “ought.”
And since they are working on that cryogenic thing, you might just yet be around for 2109.
Happy New Year Tim!

It boggles my mind that it’s the year 2009. I don’t know what you call it when talking about it. Heck, I never wrapped my head around what you call this decade when all is said and done and it almost is. Have a happy one though!:)
I’m guessing M&Ms b/c the M is the symbol for thousand, right?
