Y2K Awareness Day

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I propose we make August 15th International Y2K Awareness Day. We could all do this by heading down to a busy intersection and yell irrationally at traffic all day.

If this happened on enough street corners and in enough cities it would be sure to garner media attention. And if it does we could yell irrationally into the microphones and television cameras.

Mr. Nugget.....

Good luck with this in Southern California. You would have to 'take a number' and get in line with the 'work for food'folks and others who already occupy most corners. Screaming will get you no attention either and setting yourself on fire will garner a few stares at best.

And don't forget your Doomer T-shirts to make sure that you stand out from the "herd".

(I have a feeling that if you people actually had to wear t-shirts proclaiming your Y2K predictions then you wouldn't be so quick to tote around your holier than thou attitudes. You'd be too busy running from the guys in white coats)

For@your.info, thanks for filling me in on the situation in Southern California. Perhaps we would stand out if we actually left the sidewalks and marched on to the actually street. If they make Doomer T-Shirts in bright neon colors, this would help us to be seen by on-coming traffic.

All Doomer T-shirts are available in a wide variety of colors and for an extra five dollars you can order one that has a bright beacon on the front to alert all low flying aircraft to land before they "fall out of the sky".

Oh and I almost forgot, for an extra ten dollars you can get a long sleeve Doomer shirt that has extra long wrap around sleeves and zips up in the back.

But don't forget, anyone wearing their Polly Rose Colored Glasses) won't be able to see the doomers, and will run them down in the street....

Do you sell an all white shirt with the logo available in invisible ink? Also do you sell matching white pants, socks, and a ski mask so I can blend in with the UN vehicles?

I think that due to the demand in t-shirts Doomer Inc. will have to limit itself to just shirts. Depending on how well we do this quarter we might be able to expand ourselves to other apparel, expecially after the 1.1.00 rollover when the TRUE fanatics will be bagning down our doors with orders for Doomer Wear. They will read : "Yep, any day now..."

The polly's can get their "Everything is Peachy" shirt too, except it comes from a government P.O. Box and after ordering it they assure you that you will recieve it by 12-31-99.LOL

Why wait for Haloween? I go to work dressed as a '77 Ford Pinto every day.
