Sid Meier's Civilization V Day

[PieceOfMind]

Where's that facepalm smiley when you actually need it.

Wait a minute.. that could be a shoot into the foot.. If 21st of September is really a holiday in Maryland.. than.. you wouldnt be able to buy the game in the shops.. because.. they are all closed! Or did I got this wrong? *scratches head*

 

[Disgustipated]

It's not a real holiday. We have all sorts of days in America. We even have Secretaries Day. We don't exactly get the day off for that.

 

[Preytor]

That's awesome!

Maryland's going to be pissed if there's a last minute delay that pushes the release date back.

No, that depends how it's used. Let's not get into PDMA, eh civking.

This is the most proud I've ever been to live in Maryland.

They even mention it in one of the biggest Norwegian newspapers.

When is it appropriate?

This is the most proud I've ever been to live in Maryland.

Is Sid just that awesome or are you saying Maryland sucks, it can be interpreted all three ways?

 

[Ddude97]

Maryland!

That's pretty cool.

Hopefully the game isn't delayed.

Here it is!

 

[Shurdus]

I rather think it's insanely silly.

You and me both. Good to see those taxdollars are well spent! Also, how nice that the governor has the time to spent on these things... Not curious at all.

In the US, shops don't close on Holidays, they have big sales!

Anyone else have an image in their head of Sid Meier smoking a cigarette sitting on the bed next to the governor of Maryland, passed out next to him, a pen still in his hand. Sid smiles at the signature on the bill inked in front of him declaring the new holiday?

Okay, maybe that's a little graphic, but it makes my sides hurt from laughter.

September 21st is officially Sid Meier's Civilization V Day in Maryland.

As in, actually proclaimed by the Maryland governor. For real. (...)

Very nice

Get me the day off in Texas and I'll send a brisket

Zechnophobe I think you confused Civ 5 day with Secretaries Day?
