Apparently I need to go back to kindergarten

It's just dawned on me that the way I've been doing the Gene Kelly countdown -- starting with Day 10, etc. -- doesn't make much sense, even for a countdown. (One would generally count the song-and-dance numbers backwards, but not the actual days, wouldn't one?)

But I've been doing it that way for five days, so I guess I may as well finish it that way.

I didn't notice at all until you said that.

That may or may not be a comfort.

Numbers are just very difficult things . . . :-)

I love the fact that I was an English major. It is my excuse for life.

I have my icon for a reason

Me either. I've read it three times and I still don't quite get the problem.

Same here. Did you ever listen to "Bleak Expectations" on BBC Radio? There was a great line in one episode: "You do the English." (You know, instead of "You do the math.") :-) I'd love to put that on a T-shirt.

I'm not 100 percent sure there IS a problem . . . it just doesn't look right somehow. :-)

I have mine for a reason too!

No, I've never heard it. But now I want to... and I want the T-Shirt! :-D

It's really fun! It's a spoof of Dickens. Very broad farce, so it's different in many ways from "Cabin Pressure." (It has Martian invasions and Parliament blowing up and stuff like that.) But it's still fun.

It can be like a countdown to the best dance number ever as #1!!!

No pressure.
