I won't be able to roam around Skins's island today, Monday; work and all that stuff.
Anyway.
Today is November 22, 2010.
Exactly one year ago today, about mid-afternoon, TxRadioguy and I were chatting in the "shout box" here, and I mentioned it was November 22, 2009.
TxRadioguy said yeah, he remembered, too.
Since I don't do television, I asked TxRadioguy if there had been any mention of it on that media any time during the day. He said he hadn't seen anything, not a word.
I got curious, and went over to Skins's island to check things out.
Nope, no mention over there either.
Which grievously surprised the Hell out of me; usually the primitives remember things like this.
The majority of the primitives on Skins's island were in high school, college, graduate school, or on the assembly-line or in the military at the time; old enough to have remembered.
But the primitives hadn't even remembered.
franksolich made mention of it--I think on freerepublic, though, not here--which apparently a lurking primitive spotted, and rushed to Skins's island to start a campfire about it, about half an hour later.
The primitives finally remembered.
Finally.
And they probably had to read franksolich to remember it, just as they did last July, neglecting to commemorate the late red round one, after which the late red round one was commemorated here instead.
At least some of us remember the late red round one.
I encourage members to scout around Skins's island today, to see if the primitives remembered this year.
And as usual, the primitive version of history should prove most interesting.....and as usual, wrong.
