Sunday, February 2, marks a unique calendar date, as it forms a palindromic day — one that is written the same both backward and forward.

But this Sunday is more special than post palindromic days.

In this case, the date rendered as it normally is in the United States — as month/day/year — is identical read both normally and reversed: 02/02/2020. However, in the numerous countries that follow a day/month/year format, the date is still the same either way. And in the many Asian countries that place the year first, it is still identical backward and forward. More

  3. You might also add that it will be superbowl Sunday.

    Am I the only one NOT WATCHING that shit? I haven’t watched an NFL game since that nappy headed little bitch on the 49er’s started that kneeling bullshit! The spineless commissioner enabled all the other America hating over paid lowlife ghetto ratbastards follow suit. So I say FUCK THE NFL! I’ll put on some music and work on my taxes instead!

    No, not at all, Doc. I think maybe I’ll slide John Wick in the disc player.

    Back to the date thing — I’ve been a fan of the yyyy/mm/dd format for decades. Being a computer geek, I like things to sort properly. I also prefer the 24-hr (“military”) time format. Thus, tomorrow evening if I’m watching the right clock and if I look fast, I’ll see 2020/02/02/20:20:02.02.

  5. Doc, you’re not alone. The NFL died for me when the human Velcro loop kneeled with no team/league repercussions and it then caught on with other teams and members. I’ve got a good memory and I mean what I say and say what I mean. I’d rather bathe my cats.

  6. I used to care more about the commercials, but even those have been corrupted by PC Wokeness – they were AWFUL last year, and I have no doubt they will be the same this year. That leaves nothing left to watch. RIP NFL.

  7. When tha Baltimore Colts snuck out of town on a snowy Christmas Eve was the last time I bothered to watch a
    pro feetsball game. Used to play in my teens but when that
    happened I figured out that their world was not my world.
    Then I heard that the team that represented the City
    where “The Star Spangled Banner” was written while
    under fire from the British fleet, KNELT while it
    was played in Fucking London. THEN they STOOD for
    “God Save The Queen”. I don’t hate the Brits.
    I do hate that bunch of local losers who play with balls.

  9. The nfl seems to have been recalcitrant about its kneeling fools. I was quite happy to enjoy the games this year. I will watch KC defeat SF this year. Nancy and cccColin need to lose bigly to Mahomes and Kansas City.

  10. is it really a palindrome if there are padded zeros?

    2/2/2020.

    Who writes checks with padded zeros? I don’t. Only on the computer is it normally padded.

    Look forward to 12-11-21 or 1-20-2021 with full year.

  11. Remember too, kiddies, that tomorrow February 2 is also Magic Rodent Day. On Feb 2, Schiffy the Bug-eyed Squirrel comes out of his hole. If he sees a subpoena we get 6 more weeks of impeachment.

  13. Was it a cat I saw?
    Don’t nod.

    On a clover, if alive, erupts a vast, pure evil; a fire volcano.

    Are we not pure? “No, sir!” Panama’s moody Noriega brags. “It is garbage!” Irony dooms a man — a prisoner up to new era.

  15. My friend OTTO gave me a TOOT about this. WOW. But I didn’t think he was on the LEVEL. But he thought it was his CIVIC duty to inform his friends. I’m glad I was on his RADAR. I’ve been repeating his message to everyone, even strangers (“MADAM, do you know there’s palindrome coming up?” She got pretty weireded about and said, “I’m going to REFER you to the police.”)

    Btw, a past Prime Minister of Cambodia was named LON NOL.

  16. It’s a bit similar to the Mad Magazine’s Upside Down Years. 1961 was one. So was 1881.

    The years 3003, 3333, 6969, 8008, 8888, 9696 will also be upside down years, I think.

  19. I’ve never forgotten a palindrome that I was taught by my history teacher in grade school: “Able was I ere I saw Elba.” This was supposedly attributed to Napoléon Bonaparte, the French Emperor who hailed from Corsica, who was exiled to the Island of Elba.

  20. Anybody who watches it be alert to any mention of one of the 49’ers assistant coaches, who is a bull dyke and has the looks to fill the role.

    The media will make a huge deal out of it.

    I’ll be traveling and will be able to avoid the lousy rendition of the National Anthem, the over-hyped commercials, the usually sorry intermission show, and the general sickness of the entire spectacle.

    The NFL promotes the thing as something all Americans can unite around and forget their differences for a few hours. Screw that, a mere sporting event is not going to make me make nice with fuckin’ liberals, not for an afternoon, not for a minute.
