Today..is very special..It is 7/17/17...Think about that one.

[Stuart G]

While every day is truly special, the numbers on today are very special because of the order they are in.
What order you ask?....7/17/17. Kind of neat. 3 sevens and 2 ones. in order.......
Now, next year we will get 8/18/18...but we got to wait a whole year for that one.....

TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY........7/17/17.....................thank you......

[femmocrat]

1. And it's a palindrome.

May all those sevens be lucky for us today!

[Stuart G]

3. I must excuse my self for not knowing, but, what is a palindrome?

[Botany]

5. same thing if they are read backwords

examples

bob pop teet

[Stuart G]

10. Thank You for definition....

I guess that I had heard that definition before, but I have forgotten it...Why would someone forget that? I do not know, perhaps, I should be so bold,
as to say......................I am growing old.

[The Blue Flower]

6. Words that read the same both forward and backward

"Able was I ere I saw Elba" was the most memorable one taught by my ninth grade English teacher, attributed to Napoleon.

[Stuart G]

12. As a former teacher...in the public schools....I would like to say this....

THANK YOU......THANK YOU...THANK YOU.....THANK YOU...THANK YOU

hattip for you.......

those of us who are teachers, or were teachers like to know that something we said, whenever we said it,,,,,

................is remembered by our students....THANK YOU.......

[femmocrat]

7. It's a word or phrase that reads the same forward and backward.

Like "Hannah."

[Brother Buzz]

9. Bob is a palindrone

Know your palindromes:

[Docreed2003]

28. Just cause I'm a dick...at the risk of derailing the thread

[Brother Buzz]

35. That's the genuine Allen Ginsberg in the background

Weird Al's is an impostor!

[Docreed2003]

36. Lmao!!

Indeed....And I have an unnatural love for both!!

[Docreed2003]

38. Seriously though...

as an 80's kid I love some Weird Al, but I can't stand this song, mainly because, yes Bob could be weird and obtuse in his lyrics but "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is pretty clear in its meaning! Lmao, love a spoof though. My seven year old loves to sing "Yoda" every time "Lola" comes on the radio, which is weird and funny at the same time!

[Brother Buzz]

40. Seriously, it is Bob Dylan's favorite video

He recognizes it for its pure genius. There's even a rumor he plays the audio nonstop when he's working in his shop in Malibu

[Docreed2003]

43. Hahahahahahahahaha!! That's awesome! Thanks!!

I've had exactly one interaction with Bob and it was pretty incredible. Your story doesn't surprise me!

[snort]

13. Would Dog be a palindrome

if God was a Canine?

[KatyMan]

15. how so?

7/17/17 backwards is 71/71/7.
A palindrome would be "A man, a plan, a canal--Panama!"

[Stuart G]

17. oh my? someone might have made a ........"mistake"...on a definition????

I rule on this thread..............just this one thread......that......................................


MISTAKES ARE OK..............MISTAKES ARE OK...........
MISTAKES ARE OK..............JUST FOR TODAY.............

WHY...how can you say something like that????????????????????????????

Because, I think, that they still put erasers on pencils...don't they????
that means people make mistakes.......and..well, ...Stuart...this is too much....

ok....time to hide for a moment....

[Auntie Bush]

22. I noticed all the sevens on 7/7/17...

[KatyMan]

23. And that person was me!

for not ignoring the slashes...thanks Stuart!

[marybourg]

19. Ignore the slashes.

Just read the numbers.

[stopbush]

25. So you impose the slashes on 7/17/17, but you ignore THE COMMAS

in "A man, a plan, etc"

Why?

[KatyMan]

27. I mea culpa'ed! :D

39. Lets not bicker and argue over 'who killed who'!

DIDN'T MEAN TO? You stuck your sword right through his head!

Sorry!


One day lad ... all this will be yours!

What ... the curtains?

NO NOT THE CURTAINS LAD!

Lancelot's is one of the best sketches of MP&THG ... though the whole first hour is brilliant ... Black Knight, Castle Anthrax, Bring Out Your Dead, The French Castle, Is She A Witch, Robin's Minstrels, The Knights Who Say 'Nee', Constitutional Peasant, etc. So bloody classic.

[KatyMan]

42. I think one of the best exchanges is

"I am Sir Galahad, the Chaste"
"My name is Zoot. Just. Zoot."

Awesome!

[DrDan]

18. as was every day since last Monday - and tomorrow . . . and Wednesday

10 straight days of palindromes

[ProfessorGAC]

20. I Noticed That Too

Of course we can't do the MM thing, just the M thing. Otherwise it's 07/17/17, and then the palindrome goes away.

I know, i know. I'm being a spoilsport.

[Botany]

2. But 9/10/11 was a better day

[jberryhill]

4. Made special by Pope Gregory

[Doc_Technical]

8. 11/11/11

That was Nigel Tufnel day.

[Moostache]

11. 17th July 2017

We use European date-nomenclature at my firm...So dates are always Day-Month-Year instead of Month-Day-Year.

7-17-17 doesn't happen here...I feel cheated now!

[Stuart G]

16. PLEASE.......PLEASE.....DON'T FEEL CHEATED......IT IS OK...

maybe in your non- work life..not at your firm..you can use whatever you want....

at DU..there is no police to say use this, or use that ...grouphug...

[TeapotInATempest]

14. Interesting!

Today is also a memorable day for me as my father died 17 years ago today.

[Auntie Bush]

21. I noticed that on 7/7/17.

[WinkyDink]

24. My late mother's birthday. Born 7/17/24 (7 + 17 equals 24).

[byronius]

26. My birthday today.

I turn 57. And the number of letters in my names -- 5,7,7.

Surely it will be my greatest doom/fortune.

All I want for my birthday is a Democratic House, Senate, and President. Small favors.

[Stuart G]

29. Happy Birthday to YOU !!!!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY....!!!!!!!!

Enjoy this day............................and everyday.!!!!!!!!!

.......and I also want a Democratic House, Senate..and President..........

[struggle4progress]

[Stuart G]

31. Amazing.....that will be a great day.......but wait...there is no 17th month is there???

[struggle4progress]

32. quibbler, sheesh.

[Motley13]

[Permanut]

34. I noticed it at 7:17 this morning.

[panader0]

37. Full House!

[brooklynite]

41. ...if you're a numerologist. I'm not.

[HappyBeing]

44. A very special day, indeed.

7/17/17

It's the day we can safely say that Donald Trump's presidency died. All I can say is I hope they decommissioned his nuclear codes. If he ever had any.

Trump lost his repeal and replace bill. The United States Senate has said "No Deal." Winning the election was the only trick in his bag of tricks. He doesn't even have a bag; it was just that one trick.

He is highly likely to be under investigation. Almost everything his team says about his collusion with Russia is not true. They are simply not going to stop lying about it. Everybody knows this.

It's been mistake after mistake after mistake for 7 months. Instead of being tired of winning, his supporters will be exhausted of his terrible miscalculations.

Legislators are going to want a better leader and that is basically anybody who is not Donald J. Trump. It's over for him.

[Motownman78]

45. Yup, was my Birthday today n/t
