Alphabetical clock

[the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org]

@IanAMartin @catsalad i think it was mostly that James Garner saw the character as more of a working stiff and the Trans Am upgrade would cost the character a lot more than the character would spend, particularly if they went whole hog and got the 455 High Output engine and all. Kinda like if they gave Columbo a Lancia instead of that gray old Peugeot 403 that looked like it leaked.

This actually hurts my eyes

@catsalad sorry im European, our clock goes to 24.

[demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@catsalad im sad it doesnt count from 0. Like where the 2 is being 8 instead.

[ianamartin@thecanadian.social]

@the_turtle Excellent explanation. He might drive a Dodge of some sort, for instance, but it wouldn’t be a Charger for the reason as the Firebird / Trans Am you explained. Makes perfect sense.

@the_turtle @IanAMartin @catsalad

Like they did with sunny crocket in Miami Vice

@the_turtle @IanAMartin @catsalad

I'm kidding, no way a cop can afford a Ferrari

[ianamartin@thecanadian.social]

@eljorgeabides @the_turtle @catsalad They explained the cars and the cigarette boats by claiming they were all ‘seized assets’ that the cops were using as cover.

…sure…

@ocean I think more efficient for that would be clocks where the numbers are moved clockwise one position, so where 1 usually is, is 12 and where 2 usually is is 1. with this clock you'd immediately notice something is wrong, with a slightly wrong clock you need to pay attention to it and then you'll be even madder

@IanAMartin @eljorgeabides @catsalad miami vice was to actual cop activity what Disney World is to actual Europe.

@the_turtle @eljorgeabides @catsalad The best thing was waiting for Edward James Almos to stare stoically out a window, raise a walkie-talkie to his mouth, and say “…go!” Excellent stuff, and guaranteed to happen no less frequently than in every other episode.

[the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org]

@IanAMartin @eljorgeabides @catsalad somebody should make a supercut of that, like they did for "Mad Men" .

@the_turtle @eljorgeabides @catsalad Somewhere just past the ½-way point, I thought ‘is this a loop, or…’ and then what were clearly fresh moments appeared.

Genius.

[kkarhan@infosec.space]

@hellomiakoda @catsalad yeah…

To the point that I've to remind folks thaf asking someone if they are is quite illegal in Germany…

[locuyinglet@toot.cat]

@catsalad Wicked enough for me to design such a face for a clock

[kkarhan@infosec.space]

@sarah @catsalad

How do you do, fellow fedizens?

@catsalad I reckon this could go well with the alphabetical calendar:

April
August
December
February
January
July
June
March
May
November
October
September

Complete with alphabetical weeks:

Friday
Monday
Saturday
Sunday
Thursday
Tuesday
Wednesday

And alphabetical dates:

8, 18, 11, 15, 5, 4, 14, 9, 19, 1, 7, 17, 6, 16, 10, 13, 30, 31, 3, 12, 20, 28, 25, 24, 29, 21, 27, 26, 23, 22, 2

And for languages other than English, they're arranged alphabetically in their respective languages as well.
