I have solved the mystery of the whacky clocks! Well i just asked someone..
Hung out with Capn't D back from chillin in Hawaii.. We decided to eat around the 24th street area.. a bit trendy but it's where the foods at. Theres this antique clock repair shop on the same street and we walked by and theres this HUGE clock in the front window. The clock had what i called the Jacked Face! Way back when Vicks showed everybody that her ikea clock was screwy, in which the roman numeral '4' should be 'IV' not 'IIII'. We all thought it was some cooky made-in-china error.. We go to the clock shop and this guys clocks all had the 'IIII's.. So i asked and he said that it's been like that since the 1800's. Because the 12 o'clock position, and 8 o'clock position has alot of roman letters and that the 4 o'clock position didn't look right with it's correct 'spelling'. So people changed it for look.. All for LOOKS! i hope these people who set this strange standard die of vanity!
Everybody goes Cookoo for clocks!
Other news, i sifted through my 1300 mp3's to see what to play for the big day. So from music ranging from Soul bassanova to Classical to (old)top40 to rap to techno it's gonna be a fun one.. Any requests? Someone wanted vanilla ice.. but i definatly know that we're playing the humpty dance then!!
