This is Date Thread.
Do you want to, you know? ;)
No! this isn't an opportunity for online lasciviousness, this is Date Thread
Maybe later.

I'll explain, person/thing names a year (past or future) and the next p/t answers with something that happened in that year, names a year for the next.

But there hasn't been a new game thread on the forum since 1862... :-\
Can we do day/month/year dates?

I suppose, but not those uncouth month/day/year dates!

Perish the thought. :o

Under the strip light
And I'm sitting in the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...

For the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering
Where she's been
And I'm crying for yesterday
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip

Oh that's sounds sensible, I didn't know it was a thing.  Very good, lifting light weights instead of heavy ones, I approve.  It should do away with all that unattractive huffing and puffing.
