The unlabelled years
posted by Rob on May 31, 2008 10:15 AM
I've griped about this before, but what is this decade called? And the next one? Consider the appalling filler TV shows I Love The Eighties and I Love The Nineties. What's next in that series? How can this decade be mostly done with and it's still not been classified? I think I've finally made my own choices for decade names, though. This decade I shall call the 'Two Thousands'. The 's' on the end is important there. And for the next decade I shall adopt the semi-popular label the 'twenty-teens'. There. Settled. Everyone else please follow my lead. Or, do I prefer 'twenty-tens' instead? Damn.

Isn't it the naughties?
And isn't that a library stamp?

Not everything is about libraries, Jenn. Believe it or not, I stole the image from The Internet Rubber Stamp Shop. I think the 'naughties' is a bit too flip for such a dirge-y decade. Unless it's about 'naught' rather than 'naughty'.
Also, have I ever told you that I've got a library book that's twenty-three years overdue?

What a fiend you are, Rob. I'm sure the library has missed that book in every single inventory they've done for the past 23 years.
I've been calling it the "oh-oh's" but I find it hard to say it with a straight face.

i've been calling it the Zeroes. It works on every level.
