Well, I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that the Oh-Oh decade is officially over. What’s that you say? The what decade? The Oh-Ohs. As in, two-oh-oh-one, two-oh-oh-two, etc. You know, there were the Eighties, then the Nineties, then the Oh-Ohs.
You can call it whatever you like - I actually heard some chucklehead on one of those New Year’s Eve shows refer to it as the Digital Decade. On second thought, you can call it whatever you like, as long as it’s not the Digital Decade. I will continue to call it the Oh-Ohs, thank you.
So anyway, it’s over, and now we have the obligatory “best” and “worst” lists for the decade. Best movies, worst business decisions, most celebrity mug shots (Nick Nolte, I believe we have a winner).
But those are soooo boring.
So, I’ve come up with the Top Ten Things About the Oh-Oh Decade Which Really Blew Chunks:
10. It was 2007 before anyone could agree on what to call it.
9. The Y2K thing turned out to be a total dud; still trying to unload survival shelter in Long Pond, New Hampshire.
8. Jericho, My Name is Earl, and Growing Up Gotti were all cancelled.
7. 1,681,059 more potholes.
6. Straight-leg jeans went out of style. Twice.
5. Al Gore won a Nobel Prize.
4. No significant upgrade to Zwiggys.
3. U.S. budget deficit became so large that average American can’t tell if it’s in the billions, trillions, gazillions or just a really bad nightmare.
2. Someone learned how to clone lawyers.
And the thing about the Oh-Oh decade which blew the most chunks:
