Okay, so.... if someone has "88" in their username, they better be either 33/34 years old and kind of oblivious to the world, or else literally a broken digital clock.
@mattdm I'm kinda oblivious to the world personally—why 88?
@benjaminhollon @mattdm Remember the adage "If you hear the whistle, you're the dog"? You aren't hearing the whistle, so congrats.
@union @benjaminhollon @mattdm Is it the chinese number combination for good luck? They pay a lot for license plates and things with more 8's on them. Or something related to back to the future?
