WHAT TIME IS IT?
03.11.07
I usually rise early on Sundays and make the trek over to St. Patrick's for my Sunday obligation because the 7:30 service is fast with NO singing. Then, I grab some gas station coffee, come home, begin my assistant editorial duties, and brace my body for the transition from drunk to hungover. This morning, I stumbled down the sidewalk to Mass at what I thought was 7:30 AM, but was in fact 8:30 AM. When I arrived at the empty church, I feared I had been "Left Behind" because of my drunken and lascivious ways, but a kindly old lady appeared and said "You know it's eight-thirty dear." "Oh, I must have overslept," I attempted to enunciate with my swollen tongue, but she explained that Daylight Savings Time began today. The horror of it all! I had to wait until 9:00 for the next Mass to begin at which there was a full choir. Combine a pounding headache, gnawing hunger, awful hymns and my Catholic guilt, and you can imagine my extreme dislike for the people that did this to us three weeks earlier than usual. Only Dante Alighieri himself could have devised a more diabolical punishment. -KD

what the hell was that? college basketball is on fire and the weekend editor at one of the best “sports” blogs gets a simmons-like case of diarrhea of the mouth? no one cares about your morning. did you mean to login to your personal online diary?
if only the DOE had the power to skip entire days at a time, we’d be further from this bullshit and closer to matthew’s monday return.
Sorry sparky, but you gotta change your tag to Department of Transportation. They are the “assholes” in charge of daylight savings time.
Don’t ask. It’ll just make your hungover head hurt more.
poor, bitter eze. didn’t get any this weekend?
this year?
damn eze e’s all up on matts nutsack
7:30 AM on a Sunday? Damn, that’s dedication.
I’ve missed mass for the last 3 weeks working on our new house so we can move into it. Coincidentally I planned on making it to 6pm (the teen spirit mass) and missed it……….due to Daylight’s Savings. I’m going tomorrow during lunch just to make good on the score card. Keep up the good work Kev
When church is an event to be endured, haven’t you missed the point?
Oh, KD, I could tell you a similar story, but I don’t want to fight with Eze-e. Just know you’re not alone.
