I mean just the album Thriller alone redeems the entire 80s. I can't imagine what it must feel like to reach your unquestionable peak at 24, and know you're going to spend the rest of your life playing catch-up.
Only thing good that happened this decade was all the sweet ass movies and games. Everything else sucked. Which I guess always holds true that real life blows and it's only the entertainment that makes it bearable.

There was some pretty exciting research done this decade

I like ass movies too. I've never bothered with ass games though - that stuff can stay in Japan if you ask me.

I'd be far too upset about being part of the most successful pop groups of the earlier decade and sleeping six to a bed.
And every money-grubbing unscrupulous brat trying to get into my money in the next decade.
Thing I hated: The sudden sainthood of Michael Jackson the moment he died.
Too those people I would like to say:
"He was still the same guy you made fun of, the day before he died! The only thing that changed was him dying and you gaining a ugly case of necrophilia."

The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.
Were there any good terms for the 1900s besides "turn of the century"?
I bet people in 1909 were thinking "This sucks, what are we going to call this decade? Oh well. At least we've got a hundred more years to come up with something before it happens again."
We've let them down, you guys. We've let them all down.

I just saw the 20th episode of Wakfu. I did not need another downer right now man.
Okay. Okay. We still have eleven days we can do this. There must be some kind of blog that's doing a sweepstake on what would be an appropriate name. Andrew Sullivan, for example - this kind of stuff is exactly his kind of bag. That, and disliking the fuck out of Sarah Palin.
2010 is the tenth year of the decade, just like 2000 was the 10th year of the nineties. The ten year period won't be complete until the tenth year is over.
we're going to have to have this argument every ten years now, aren't we?

in other news, the record will show that I made michael jackson jokes on the day he died and continue to do so

it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
2000 wasn't the 10th year of the 90's. It was the start of the new millenium. The 90's took place from 1990-1999, just as the '00's took place from 2000 to 2009.
in cultural terms (which is really the only reason we have this discussion), the previous decade continues for a year or so into the next one anyway. If you went back in time to 1990 you'd think you were in the 80s.

Well, I guess it's settled than
2000 > 1980 > *

what about the OK Go video?

And then AOL ruined usenet.

How much of what you use on the intertrons existed before twenty aught one?
Compuserve, my good man. Been there done that.
Seeing how corporations handled the internet makes me gratefull for the system we have now. Private corporate nets sucked balls big time.
Video and interactive applications are the onl...oh.
We were poor, and AOL kept sending out disks with loads of free hours. :rotate:
Yeah, we got 7 years of free internet from the various ISP's from calling and getting the free trial extended or swapping and starting over.
Compuserve was awesome.
Only because of Gemstone...
WTF are we supposed to call this decade?
turn of the century wont work, as monocles and top hats are (sadly) not in fashion
and turn of the millennium sounds stupid and takes too long to say
aught 1/2/3/4...
no..........
The 9/11's?
Edit: Oh shit so depressing that wouldn't work.
It works better if you're over 60.
I have a feeling we'll be stuck with "the 2000s" despite how horribly inconsistent and improper it is.
The Zeroes?

You didn't have to do that, Cracked. That could have been avoided.

anyway this is a dumb argument and I'm abandoning it here
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
I'm using my calendar
the only one that matters
The French Revolution calendar was better.
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
today is the start of Year A
next year is Year B
the year after is Year C and so on and so forth until we reach Z, and then we will start at Year AA, and then AB, etc. etc.
there will be no decades or centuries, only Alphabets
today is Year A, Alphabet A
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
10 months was cool I will grant
but 36 day months with 10-day weeks is unwieldy.
Did they take the remainder of the days as, like, free days at the end of the year? I don't really remember.
