Digital Clock 1.0

Alas, alack. We had planned to download Digital Clock and use its creator’s promotional blather as a bouncy springboard for trenchant remarks such as “Disco is dead, long live rock and roll!” and “Does ANYONE have memories of 1974?” and “Why should we pay $3.75 (or 75 Tootsie Rolls) for a tiny picture of a clock we already own?”

But then we visited the website of Acutus Trading — the proud purveyor of Digital Clock and a scary item called Moni the Goat-Boy (must be a Canadian thing) — and our sweet little newborn plans were crushed to death ‘neath a cruel oliphaunt of prohibitory legalese. It appears that we are not allowed to reproduce images of the app or quote from the developer’s website or, really, say anything at all about Digital Clock.

So we won’t.

We will just ask an unrelated question for you to answer: Is it remotely possible that an application so heavily laden with draconian mumbo-jumbo does not suck donkey’s butt?

I was in the midst of puberty in 1974. I refuse to remember anything about it. Except "DISCO SUCKS!"

Hmm, "Is it remotely possible that an application so heavily laden with draconian mumbo-jumbo does not suck donkey’s butt?" No, it's not possible.

I was still in the planning stages in '74.
Actually, I probably wasn't even that.

Well, '74 probably sucked ass anyway.

In 1974 I was a seven-year-old, bright-eyed and unsullied byt the ways of the world. By 1980 I had seen "Grease" and "Star Wars", eaten McDonald's, drunk Coca-Cola, and been bullied at school. Suddenly life was no longer the same. Slowly and subconsciously at first, I began to plot a rather juvenile form of revenge on the world.

And damn it all if the van Tols didn't beat me to it! You *bastards*!
