I remember 8-8-88 and 9-9-99 as being really cool, surreal, once-in-a-decade things. This once a year stuff has me really disillusioned.

A woman in our neighborhood is having her birth induced today so that her child can have a 555 birthday. Somehow I don't think many women will rush out to give their child a 666 birthday. Posts: 7050 | Registered: Feb 2004

I did it. I set the alarm for 5:05 am and woke Justin up telling him it was 5 am and 5 minutes on 05-05-05. I expected a homocide for waking him up just to tell him that.
Instead?
"Oh, that's nice. Cool. That's why it's so dark out. Ok."
We both promptly fell back asleep. *snore*

My brother was born on 05-15-75. I was due in June the next year, and my mother was really gunning for 06-16-76. Alas, the c-sectioning doctor did not cooperate.

On a side note, I didn't have a particularly cool birthdate exactly, but my brother was 07-17, mine was 08-16. We always thought my mom sohould have had mor kids born on 09-18, 10-20, 11-22, and 12-24. BUT, we were the only 2.
My 16th b-day was kinda nifty, 16 on 08-16-88

Yay! somebody older than me!
I remember 7/7/77 very well. We thought it was very cool. For some reason, I don't remember 8/8/88 or 9/9/99 at all though.
I remember on 11/19/1999, some guys on the radio were making a big deal that it was the last day in over a thousand years that all the digits would be odd.
The things people get excited about...

11/11/11 will be a most spectacular day. It'll be my birthday, of course =D.
I always kind of wished I'd been born in 2000 so that I could turn 11 on 11/11/11 but, alas, I'll have to settle for 25 .

I don't remember 7/7/77 at all, i was a few days short of my 4th birthday. I do know, though, that we were in the process of moving into the house where my parents still live, and I'm told that I spent most of the second half of that year in a funk. Moved, started kindergarten (yes, barely 4 years old) and got a baby brother that I tried to send back to the hospital...
8/8/88 didn't cause any blips. Again, it was summertime and I was probably just bumming around the house all day. Although football season (good old two-a-days) may have started by then... not sure.
9/9/99 on the other hand.... by that time I was working pseudo-IT for a court reporting company and my boss completely believed ALL of the rumors about entire networks crashing and viral payloads exploding... soon to be followed by the Y2K rollover insanity...

That's my sister's birthdate.

That's another sister's birthday.

*Inner monologue... Do I dare even bring up Harry Potter in this thread? Well, people are talking about birthdays now, and this is a cool birthday thing... Too late to change your mind, you clicked Reply!*
The third Harry Potter movie came out on my 21st birthday, June 4th, and the fourth one coming out this year will be on my sister's 18th birthday, November 18th. I think that's the coolest thing for a couple of die-hard fans like us. Posts: 486 | Registered: Feb 2005

Did you know... um, I forget how this goes. Like, the number of the month and the number of the day are the same day of the week each month after like February. Or something. I forget. It's the sort of thing only bookkeepers notice.
Erm, but it would be a good way to organize a perpetual calendar system. This is apparently a thursday year, non-leap.
Nevermind, it is the even numbered months only (besides Feb) so it's actually a Monday year.

I should have read the whole thread before posting - Dan_Raven, my brother was also born on 7/13.
