Dates and Numbers

(...or, Fixing the English Language, #1 in a Series)

The days of the week should be:

Oneday
Twoday - the only one that's sort of (tuesday) right
Threeday
Fourday
Fryday - that's when the ad comes out, woo hoo!
Sixday
Sevenday

Ten should not be "ten", it should be onety. Just like sixty, seventy, eighty and ninety.

onety, twoty, threety, fourty, fivety...

Just so you know, there is a better way.

"Ocean's Onety-one"
"I'll give you twoty-three dollars for that"
"Fivety is the new threety"


- Onety-four -

Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.

-Hunter S. Thompson
Dedicated to the other side of Las Vegas, namely; the sprawling, mad, incoherent underpinnings of the world's favorite destination.

That, and the occasional ranting about nothing in particular.
