When's Opposite Day?

Well...when is it? Just today I could've used that in a scathingly brilliant way. I said, in response to my long-suffering Stats prof, "It rejects the null!" (I admit to feeling a bit triumphant at this point) and she said, "It what?!" (Which immediately nulled my feeling of triumph, only to replace it with a sinking realization that I had NO idea what the hell was what)so IF I had been fast and on top of my game, I could have said, "It's Opposite Day!" but, instead, I had to concede that it really failed to reject the null which is a whole different matter.

When is Opposite Day? It's not on my calendar.

how do you know? I think SD likes to eff with me (because I banned him from something and then he got into my good graces, and THEN, I had to ban him again coz the girls just weren't ready for that level of perversity when he brough it.)


Plus, SD is a grammar Nazi (I'm not forgetting that one, Steve)

I thought I was un-re-banned? It's hard to keep track, though. Anyway, maybe you just need to recruit some different girls.

14 St. Valentine’s Day. Patron saint of kidney disease and, uh, romantic stuff. Champagne at a fancy restaurant or whiskey sours with your cat.
