Maybe. I heard rumors that we'll have to wait until the 12th of Never.

TOWG		2013-02-07 07:48:36 AM

I demand my bill be adjusted for the days I'll miss!

Grungehamster		2013-02-07 07:49:38 AM

I love the article trying to act like this is some sort of scam. It's a joke that doesn't harm anyone, like texting people you can't find your cell phone so could they please call you back so you can listen for your phone ring.

SpdrJay		2013-02-07 07:50:34 AM

Good. Since I haven't used my FB in 4 years anyway.

sulco		2013-02-07 07:50:44 AM

Sooo then for three days people would get back to getting shiat done?

Well it is possible to text from the web, so could be legit.

ComaToast		2013-02-07 07:53:52 AM

Thanks for the heads-up. I will postpone logging on to Facebook until the 5th of Vodak.

KStDrew		2013-02-07 07:53:59 AM

I wasn't able to log in on November 31st. I guess there's something wrong with their servers...

Feb 30th is my birthday. At least that's what I tell the office assistant who has to manage the office birthdays. I usually get "Aw, you only get to celebrate your birthday every four years." Yep. Sad. Sad 12 year old me.

Circusdog320		2013-02-07 07:55:37 AM

if you wish to file a complaint about loss of Facebook access on these days dial 867-5309 ask for Jenny.

StaleCoffee		2013-02-07 07:55:48 AM

I don't get these emails. Either I have great filtering software or no friends.

I'm kidding, there's no speculation involved. I have no friends.

Mangoose		2013-02-07 08:03:22 AM

But can I still not log into facebook today, tomorrow and every day before and after these three days?

/that's right. I became that guy.

I came into the thread to post that I refused to believe that anyone was stupid enough to fall for that. fark you for proving me wrong.

But if you don't share the news with fifteen of your friends, Jesus will give AIDS to your dog.

Or like calling AAA because you are locked inside your car with the keys in the ignition.

Oprah Winfrey has her own alternate dimension now too? Jeebus that woman has alot of money.

FTA:

The message is absolutely right. You can't use Facebook on those days, because those particular days don't exist in February this year.
so in other years we have Feb 30th?

eyeq360		2013-02-07 09:12:32 AM

I had plans on February 31st! How am I to post pictures of semi-naked women that day!

The most deadliest of poisons that has been linked to every death in history.

sulco: Sooo then for three days people would get back to getting shiat done?

Surely you're joking.

lousyskater		2013-02-07 10:14:08 AM

I wish it would go dark for a few days. I know a few people that would absolutely lose their minds if they couldn't access fb for just a day even. It would be incredibly entertaining to watch.

Langdon Alger		2013-02-07 10:22:38 AM

ok, get me a tree lean indicator so we'll know where it will fall when we cut it. Grab the left handed monkey wrench so we can tighten the chain on the saw. THEN we can go hunt those snipes.

Wait, wait, wait. That's not it. "A kind of September". That's it.

One time I locked my keys in the trunk on a remote freeway rest stop, and I spent about half an hour trying to use wire to trigger the seat release switch inside the trunk, so I could get in though the back seat.

Until I realized I could just pull the trunk release lever.

Yeah. What about my paper stretcher, my 4 foot yard stick, my left handed hammer. Gonna go out and replace the muffler bearing on my car. Gotta buy a gallon of inert gas first.

Rather than not passing that on, a better idea would be to pass it on then on March Boobies to Facebook openly mocking those those who took it seriously and explaining why they were stupid for doing so

Be sure to check your blinker fluid and fill it to the proper level before leaving. You don't want to get pulled over.
