In the Netherlands there is some pre-carnaval party every year on the 11th of the 11th.
Something with 11 being a fools/silly/crazy mans number. Thank god that idiocy only takes place in the south part of the country

I made one of those too. War Room.



Oh Tonk..

11/11/11 happens once a millenium.

It is an auspicious numerical alignment.

aka.

Teh Rarez..

I don't know... The whole dropping of two thousand numbers before the 11 makes me feel a little less like this is anything special.

So where were you at 11:11 on 11/11/11?

am - sitting with our regional manager in an underhanded attempt to set the ball rolling on him firing the current project manager and giving me his spot.

pm - probably feeling guilty that the project manager has been cool as hell to me, yet I'm trying to steal his 6-digit salary job.

You're moving up really quickly there. This job was a really good move for you. Nonsense and drama front-loaded at the start, but overall, looks like it was one hell of a break. Congrats.

Sounds like a good time. I'd drop by, but I'd probably come on the wrong day or something... :emb: :lolz:

Wasn't born 900 years ago, and probably won't be alive 9100 years into the future. So it's only relevant to computers that can't count over 99.

Beats by Dre are the most overrated pieces of crap ever.

As much as I hate Beats, it's helped make headphones more popular which has trickled into the hi-fi to mid-fi stuff (real stuff, not kiddie designed stuff).

I'm rockin' some Denon D2000s. Sound freakin awesome.

Fair enough.

I lold at my friend's 'Beats' earbuds, though.

I have some V-moda Vibe earbuds that are 25 bucks and sound 10x better than Beats by Dre.

Ill have to google Denons

Have you ever had a pair of Grado earphones?

Same here, 11/11 is the official start of the carnival season over here, namely in Cologne and Mainz. It comes from the "Elferrat", a council of 11 fools who symbolically take over the key of the city they live in from the mayor from 11/11 to Ash Wednesday in February. The fool's reign.

I kinda like carnival to be honest but not before January. November and December belongs to Christmas and, more importantly, Oud end Nieuw, my favorite holiday as a fireworks freak. :)
