2024 ACS Marathon Countdown


January 9th: So here we go again! This thread is used to countdown to the next ACS marathon next Christmas Eve. I use this site, http://www.xmasclock.com/, to keep track of the days. I hate to even say it but we are 350 days away. I really hate this time of year. It seems like January and February take forever to go by. Hopefully by the end of the year we have YoutubeTV and i can take part in the marathon again.

April 7th: Well we did our second mow of the year today. It is getting in the 80's now so summer is right around the corner. Hope everyone is doing well. Just remember 12 weeks from now the Halloween decorations will be hitting the shelves. Boy these years just tick by now. Have a great summer. 261 days left until the marathon.

June 14th: only 193 days left until the marathon! Man it seems like once March is over the year just flies by. In less than 3 weeks the 4th will be over and the Halloween stuff will be back on the shelves. It is hard to believe that Fall is right around the corner again. Hope everyone is doing well.

Fall?

What are you smoking man?

August 9th: 137 days left and it's coming quick! School has started and alot of Halloween stuff is already out on the shelves. I swear once March is over the year flies by. The hot weather just broke and i am hoping that is pretty much it for summer.

As I post this, it's August 9, 2024. You posted this 2 months ago, so in June. Summer starts on June 21, so you posted that Fall is right around the corner before Summer had even started.

What are you on and where can I get some?

Haha, I said the same thing. This guy is a lunatic!

All 145 of his posts are on this board (A Christmas Story 1983). Every single post he's made on here over 7 years! Every. Last. One.

He must be the worlds biggest A Christmas Story fan.

I think I’m the world’s biggest Bio-dome fan but I don’t make it such an obsession. Imagine if this guy ever falls in love! Poor girl!! Haha

The countdown has been going on since 2012 i believe. It was a big deal on the old IMDB boards before they shut them down 7 years ago. Over there we had a whole community that would converse throughout the year and the countdown was always a popular thread. When everything moved over to here i tried to keep it going but it has never caught on. I am not sure why i keep it going every year. Just comforting i guess. 8/27 and 119 days left.

I never watch the marathon as I have it on DVD.

Party pooper.

Watching marathons, much like sex, is more fun in groups and discussed publicly later.

reply

I don't even own cable anymore.

reply

Yes me neither. I am not sure how to watch the marathon this year.

reply

11/3: 51 days left. We just took up the Halloween decorations today. The holiday season is flying by. I hope everyone is getting ready; it should be fun the next few weeks.

reply

December 18th: only 6 days left. It's almost bitter sweet at this point. I hope everyone is having a great Christmas!
