2018 ACS Marathon Countdown


Well i am way late getting this started this year. I usually try to get this up on New Years Day. This thread will be away for board members to check in throughout the year and countdown how many days are left until the next marathon. I use this site, http://www.xmasclock.com/ to get the number of days left. I know this is the worst time of year with Christmas being sooooo far away, but we will get there. 327 days left!

Feb 26th: 301 days left! March is almost here and spring is around the corner. Ready to get summer under way so we can finally get back to Fall. Hang in there everyone we still have a ways to go.

reply

April 19th: We have 249 days left until the marathon! Summer is almost here and in 13 weeks the fall decorations will be rolling out. The worst part of the year is over and the sun is finally out. Fall will be here before you know it.

reply

June 3rd: We planted our pumkins the first week of May to get ready for Halloween. We are only 204 days away from Christmas and the marathon! I am glad summer is finally here because Fall will be rolling in right behind it. I believe in about two weeks we will be at the half way mark. It's hard to believe we are already this far into the year. It seems like Christmas was just a couple months ago.

reply

June 29th: Well it was the summer solstice a few days ago and every day is officially getting shorter! I can't wait for fall! In four weeks Sam Adam's Octoberfest will be out and the fall decorations will be hitting the shelves. This first part of the year has gone by so quickly. It's hard to believe we are 178 days away from another marathon.

Gotta be kidding!! Why do a countdown to a 24 hr marathon of this movie, when you can watch it whenever you can?

reply

nice!

i'm ready for some anchor xmas ale!

Septemberth 14th: Well we are 101 days away. It's hard to believe we are only 2 days away from the double digits. It really feels like March was only a couple months ago. Nutsberryfarm, what is the ACS beer that you posted about a couple years ago? I want to make sure and try it this year. Take care everyone the Holiday Season is upon us:)

October 13th: Yesterday was the first day i had to turn the heat on in the house and car. Only 72 days left and i am hoping my next mow of the yard is my last. The season is here!

reply

October 30th: 55 days left. It has been a great October! Enjoy the best time of year!

reply

November is here!

i'm stocking up!

reply

Dec 5th: 18 days to go. Man the season is going quickly. Everyday is so busy i have to remind myself to stop and enjoy it ever so often.

reply

Dec 24th 6:37am: 12 hours left, we have officially made it through another countdown. Thanks everyone who joined in throughout the year.

Got some hail the other day here!

I've seen it shown on TBS already in Nov and is scheduled to be on 12/7 a couple times. I wonder why they are showing it early?

reply

Ratings I imagine.

Lots of folks can see it at those times but many people won't be near a TV on Christmas Eve/Day.

reply

When I was a kid I watched nearly every showing on tbs or TNT. Up until I was like 20 I actually wanted to...somewhere around 21..22...I tried to get into the excitement of the 24 hour marathon but I just couldn't. I'm 34 now and I will tune to the marathon and leave it on in the background...but hardly watch it. Any adults here that still watch it?

reply

I watch at least one showing and then tune in throughout the day....but I saw this in theaters, so I was on board a LONG time ago.
