Set Your Clocks Back This Weekend...

**chefcraig** · 10.27.06, 06:08 AM

Yup, the old "spring forward, fall back" thing is in motion again, and the long winter nights are soon upon us.

Do Not Forget to set your clocks back an hour this weekend, so you don't show up to work at the wrong time on Monday and look like a moron.

While that is terrific on many levels, what is indeed frightening is that some of those mentioned above plan to model the fashions they wore in 1984 today as a tribute, with little to no regard for their current waistlines.

An extra hour of sleep!!!! Nice!!
Except for the people of Arizona, Hawaii and a small area somewhere in the midwest (I forgot which state).

Nah, I believe Indiana is on board with DST now.

I need some extra sleep, so I'm thinking of booking a flight to the Middle East so I can turn back the clock a couple of thousand years!

And some have not let go of "Business in the front, party in the back" hairdos

Yup. I just saw Barry Melrose on ESPN. Either hockey is back, or ARMBI!

Yeah unless you have infants or toddlers; they have no respect for time changes. "Spring Forward" isn't bad but "Fall Back" means my 17 month-old twins will be up an hour earlier each morning, at least for a few weeks. Crap.

My wife and I have begun trying to have kids, so this could be my last "peaceful extra hour of sleep."
