twosday

February 22, 2022 4:41 AM

Happy Twosday! Today (February 22 2022) is, in some formats, both a palindrome and an ambigram! Some people consider it a lucky day, but maybe we should ask ourselves what's really in a number? Celebrate this once in a lifetime event by doing things twice, having two tacos for Taco Twosday, by getting married, or just typing "Twosday" into Google!

Lest anyone try to hold off their celebration until 2/22/2222 don't bother - it's a Friday.

I had two sandwiches for lunch. By coincidence. Then I remembered I'd been looking forward to Twosday ever since I first heard about it, about two years ago. I'd forgotten Twosday! It's all a bit two much. But at least I celebrated. They were small sandwiches.

Two be, or not two be? That is the question.

Won't have another day like this for a little over 11 years, when 3/33/33 falls on a Threesday.

There's a special badge for geocachers who find two caches today. (I think I will sneak out at lunch and try to grab a couple of Park & Grabs.)

Other than taco sales and margarita promotions, what else is going on in your favorite subculture?

The New York Times crossword puzzle has a little something special in it to celebrate the occasion.

I’m not a person who considers two a lucky number but I just really enjoy this! Someone was waiting for this back in 2017.

My kid wore a tutu to school and I think it's definitely taco Tuesday for dinner tonight.

Here in not USA it's palindromic Tuesday: 22/02/2022 which I'm gonna argue is even more satisfying.

I was at a Seattle Mariner's playoff game once when a batter had two balls and two strikes on him with two outs. It must have been a key part of the game, I dunno--there was a lot of yelling. As the pitcher was getting ready to throw, a guy behind us yelled to his buddy, "It's all Nixons! It's all Nixons!" And I've been thinking about that game and about Nixon leaving office all day.

Well, why not: you too could own MeFi userid 22222. Just comment in that MeTa to enter yourself in a raffle. Deadline is 22 hours and 22 minutes from a few minutes ago.

I know someone who's getting married today because of the date. (I actually asked "why a Tuesday?!") Hilariously, they're a throuple, so it kinda ruins the symmetry, but it's the thought that counts.

Room 222 was one of my favorite TV shows as a kid.

It's my birthday today! Too bad I'm not turning 22 (passed that a long time ago) because that would have been rocking!

This would be great for a mefite named Tuesday (especially if they're a Gemini).
