Quote: a reference related to our upcoming political elections
If this were the case, I couldn't post it in the Lounge with its "No Politics" rule.

If you get a chance to be in the totality area, it's worth seeing - we went down to Cornwall for the 1999 UK one, and despite the cloud and rain cover it still made the hairs on the back of your neck rise.

I remember were I was that day. I had an interview at Blue Byte, right after the eclypse.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Just checked it's path an I'm only about a 45 minute drive south of the total eclipse band. I might have to take a little road trip next year.

I would also take a road trip to see it, if I were anywhere near as close as you are!

I posted an innocent item about a solar eclipse. Others are trying to turn it into a political joke.

Good thing you included the link - otherwise he would never have found it with the "u" in it...

I was thinking more in the line of general sorrow and desperation... (not to mention the eight years in potential medieval darkness)

Freakin' misguided cosmic bodies - totality being totally wasted on the nation's wastelands.
I think they should cancel the damn thing until a better route is planned.

Same thing happens election day but I had to read the whole post before I figured you weren't talking about that.

Damnit, I've just spent whole minutes fretting over whether or not English has a word for the minus-oneth anniversary (the minus twoth anniversary has something to do with football, I believe).
I'm almost certain that there isn't one, especially given how we treat verbs that refer to future events (No, Virginia, there is Not a future tense in English).
There are plenty of words that presage future events, but not by a year precisely or annually, and certainly none that take a direct adjectivised numerical determiner (that I could think of in the minutes I've dedicated to it, so far).
This must not stand!
Someone has to make one up!
