Hello...Newman
I totally do the knuckles thing. I don't even know all the words to the nursery rhyme.
Okay, this is just getting weird.
On Thursday I wondered why you didn't have a blogroll and then you made one. Then today J and I were discussing the knuckles vs. rhyme thing and here you are discussing the same thing!
What kind of magical genius are you, McPan? 
the knuckle thing sounds complicated.
i use the rhyme.
I use a calendar. I've never heard of this other stuff.
WhyLaw...you know that saying about monkeys on typewriters and eventually one of them would randomly type Shakespeare or whatever? Yeah. I'm your typewritin' monkey. That or I've got the Being John Malkovich thing going on inside your head. Ooh. That's actually kind of scary. For you, I mean.
Oh...and you never said which one you use.
I used the knuckles as a kid, now I just have them memorized. What kills me is when I look at my watch for the date at the end of the month...it spins through a 31 day cycle regardless and I have to reset it.
Speaking of timekeeping, you ever notice how many clocks with Roman numerals use "IIII" instead of "IV"?
I always heard that the clock-makers like to use IIII because it makes the clockface look more "balanced" with VIII on the other side.
Oh, yeah. I use the knuckle thing.
I had never heard of the knuckles thing. I just do the rhyme. Which reminds me -- I have to pay rent today.
Milbarge-
I guy once told me that clock makers used IIII instead of IV because King George IV didn't want them to use his suffix.
Anyway, I did a little research last night...follow the trackback to see what I came up with.
The knuckle thing is confusing. I use the rhyme.
On another note, I was at Target last night buying some studying snacks, and I randomly overheard an interesting conversation about three lanes over. This woman was talking to the man in front of her about...FRITO PIE. What are the odds? She was very excited about it, apparently, because I could hear her three lanes over. She likes to get it at Sonic, but they also sell it at her kids' baseball games.
I kind of wonder what sparks a conversation like that between strangers. My guess is that your blog has created a nationwide buzz about Frito Pie, and now everyone's talking about it.
I are awesome!!! I need a blog now completely dedicated to Frito Pie.
A blog dedicated to the Macho would be better.
Okay, perhaps I'm living in an alternate universe where there is no Frito Pie and people only do the poem.
Oh lord...please tell us that that universe at least has corn dogs!!!
