I remember 8-8-88 and 9-9-99 as being really cool, surreal, once-in-a-decade things. This once a year stuff has me really disillusioned.

A woman in our neighborhood is having her birth induced today so that her child can have a 555 birthday. Somehow I don't think many women will rush out to give their child a 666 birthday. Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
Wait, isn't it supposed to be 06/01/06 these days? Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
What does 555 stand for anyway?

My grandmother was born on 11/11/11 I always thought that was cool.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
Er- Dan, don't you mean it ends 12/12/12?
Posted by dabbler (Member # 6443) on :
I did it. I set the alarm for 5:05 am and woke Justin up telling him it was 5 am and 5 minutes on 05-05-05. I expected a homocide for waking him up just to tell him that.
Instead?
"Oh, that's nice. Cool. That's why it's so dark out. Ok."
We both promptly fell back asleep. *snore*

My brother was born on 05-15-75. I was due in June the next year, and my mother was really gunning for 06-16-76. Alas, the c-sectioning doctor did not cooperate.

dh, I forgot all about that! Old superstitions die hard, though.

All about what? What Old Superstitions are you talking about? I was just making a joke...

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Hapful Birthday EL! Posted by Fyfe (Member # 937) on :
My small cousin was born on 9-9-99. That made me happy.
Posted by mimsies (Member # 7418) on :
Happy Birthday!
On a side note, I didn't have a particularly cool birthdate exactly, but my brother was 07-17, mine was 08-16. We always thought my mom sohould have had mor kids born on 09-18, 10-20, 11-22, and 12-24. BUT, we were the only 2.
My 16th b-day was kinda nifty, 16 on 08-16-88

I remember the "upside down" year 1961. When is the next one? I won't be alive.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
2005 is an upside down year. Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Happy birthday, Eaquae Legit!! Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
The one after this will be 2115.
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Hmmm...... I was born in that upside down year, screech.

You buffoon, Dan!

Yay! somebody older than me!
I remember 7/7/77 very well. We thought it was very cool. For some reason, I don't remember 8/8/88 or 9/9/99 at all though.
I remember on 11/19/1999, some guys on the radio were making a big deal that it was the last day in over a thousand years that all the digits would be odd.
The things people get excited about...
Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :
Just wait till 2011, when we get four days like this. 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, and 11/11/11.
How's that for awesome.

What time is it when your clock strikes 13?
Time to get a new clock.
So, what day is it when the calendar reads 13/13/13?
The day you buy a new calendar.

Which one 7-14 or 8-16?
Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
8-16.

Drat! I missed 5:05!
Posted by Pixie (Member # 4043) on :
11/11/11 will be a most spectacular day. It'll be my birthday, of course =D.
I always kind of wished I'd been born in 2000 so that I could turn 11 on 11/11/11 but, alas, I'll have to settle for 25 .

yay! Thanks to this thread I remembered to look at my watch at 05:05:05PM PDT!

I don't remember 7/7/77 at all, i was a few days short of my 4th birthday. I do know, though, that we were in the process of moving into the house where my parents still live, and I'm told that I spent most of the second half of that year in a funk. Moved, started kindergarten (yes, barely 4 years old) and got a baby brother that I tried to send back to the hospital...
8/8/88 didn't cause any blips. Again, it was summertime and I was probably just bumming around the house all day. Although football season (good old two-a-days) may have started by then... not sure.
9/9/99 on the other hand.... by that time I was working pseudo-IT for a court reporting company and my boss completely believed ALL of the rumors about entire networks crashing and viral payloads exploding... soon to be followed by the Y2K rollover insanity...
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
While I don't have a 7/17 birthday, I do have what I think is a great one.
7/13
And for my 7th birthday, my cousin gave me a black kitten.
This could explain much.

That's my sister's birthdate.

That's another sister's birthday.

*Inner monologue... Do I dare even bring up Harry Potter in this thread? Well, people are talking about birthdays now, and this is a cool birthday thing... Too late to change your mind, you clicked Reply!*
The third Harry Potter movie came out on my 21st birthday, June 4th, and the fourth one coming out this year will be on my sister's 18th birthday, November 18th. I think that's the coolest thing for a couple of die-hard fans like us. Posted by Brian J. Hill (Member # 5346) on :
I always thought my birthday (8/28/82) had a nice ring to it.

That's Kaioshin00's birthday.
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
Did you know... um, I forget how this goes. Like, the number of the month and the number of the day are the same day of the week each month after like February. Or something. I forget. It's the sort of thing only bookkeepers notice.
Erm, but it would be a good way to organize a perpetual calendar system. This is apparently a thursday year, non-leap.
Nevermind, it is the even numbered months only (besides Feb) so it's actually a Monday year.

Today is my mother's birthday - she was born on 5/6/56. I always thought that was cool.
Oh, and my dad's birthday is also 7/11!
I should have read the whole thread before posting - Dan_Raven, my brother was also born on 7/13.
And I know that I share a birthday with T_Smith, at least - our birthday is on Monday (5/9)!
