    Ack! I didn't even think about this. Good thing I need to go to the party store today. I can't die having never worn 200_ glasses, can I?

    I actually was wondering aloud about this to my wife just the other day. I almost bought her a pair of the 2009 glasses as a joke stocking stuffer because I thought they might be the last.


    So, I guess what I'm saying is thanks for this post.

    This brings up an important question. What decade are we in? Nine years into it and I still don't know what it's called.

    Come on, where's the creativity? You could make an eyehole out of the curl in the "2" and of course the zero, so there you have glasses for the next 91 years.


    Although they may look stupid there's always going to be douchebags who will want to impulsively buy them on NYE.

    As my sketch proves, the 2010 don't look too bad, I bet some cheap company will outsource the mold to China and make them... it's 2011 they should be worried about... NYE monocle anyone?
