NR_Ohiobando Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Flashback Central! 2000: Bb's are now legal, Cadets start us off with a bang... Cavaliers lookin awesome! Boston comes out of nowhere! EAST EAST EAST! What's happening to Madison? WOW Southwind's music is great! Glassmen bring new meaning to the word "soloist": Seattle Cascades make finals for the first time in their history! Magic of Orlando breaks the scoring record in Div II, then makes finals in Div I? Cavaliers break 99 and set the new scoring record with their "total package" shows. Something called "DCP" is spawned from hell Blue Devils break Cavaliers' streak with pure peformance... Spirit breaks into finals yielding an Ott flag: Madison breaks back into finals after a 1 year hiatus... Bluecoats and CCrown start creeping up on the pack while Boston and Gmen fall behind... Blue Devils have one hell of a hornline!...And also there's that Scott Dean guy! SCV's "Double Beat" is now a standard DCI tune Blue Knights are back in Finals!! CCrown can play...but can't sing Amps and Voice are legal...there was not much rejoicing... Cadets show signs of going WAAAY out in left field, George Hopkins becomes the devil, and they also tie Cavaliers' record for highest score: Phantom Regiment is everyone's new favorite corps, and for good reason... Crossmen drop out of Finals for a while... Blue Devils still have one hell of a hornline! ...but you can't hear them... ...because... ...YOWZA YOWZA YOWZA!!! Madison is back in the top 6!...but they got beat by a bunch of Bloo guys...? DCI's online webcasts FAIL Phantom Regiment wins Percussion?! Cavaliers continue to dominate. Is that the Bluecoats in 4th place? WHAT on EARTH are the Cadets doing?! Bluecoats beat everyone during the season! They'll finish in the top 3 for sure!!! ... ... Wow Carolina Crown is great! Why hello there Colts! Haven't seen you guys in a while! Thank God Troopers' Drum Major is back in town: What's happening to Madison...again? Cadets...you're great!...but where are you going? The Cavaliers in 3rd PLACE!?!?!?!?! IMPOSSIBLE!!! Spirit and Bones share each others' pain: Where'd the Cascades and Southwind go...? Seriously...WHAT on EARTH are the Cadets doing!?!?! Everyone loves Phantom Regiment FanNetwork is AMAZING!!! Blue Devils look cool in the semi-throwback uniforms...but what the heck is their show about? Carolina Crown is climbin the ladder... Is...is that the Blue Stars?! Crossmen and Madison duke it out for #12 spot... WOW! Phantom's secret ending is AMAZING!!! .025 Electronics????!?!?!? REALLY?!?!?!?! WHAT IS MADISON WEARING??? Crown's uniforms are disgusting, but their corps is amazing. George Hopkins gets some redemption from DCP. Blue Devils are a bore-fest in comparison to their competition. Fortunately they can execute better than their competition. Glassmen aren't in 11th place WOOO!! Troopers and Blue Stars are back in the fray!...but where did Madison go?... Phantom Regiment in 9th place after winning a championship?! BD wins...crowd doesn't seem to approve, but numbers don't lie. Cavaliers drop to 4th. Their lowest placement since 1998 (when they also finished 4th) CCrown is here to stay? Again...what's happening with Madison?...again 2009: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIHasBeen Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Um ... The decade would actually go from 2001-2010. But nice idea anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Um ... The decade would actually go from 2001-2010. But nice idea anyway. Would you say 1991-2000 to describe the 90s? Nope. So, I'd say 2000-2009 accurately describes the 2000s. And way to practically shoot down a thread with good intentions.

Nope. 2000 was the 10th year of the 90s. 2001 was the true first year of the millenium. There is no year zero. Look it up, I wouldn't lie to you.

There is no year zero.Look it up, I wouldn't lie to you. Looked it up in the encyclopedia: http://www.statemaster.com/encyclopedia/2000s The 2000's decade, according to the encyclopedia, = 2000-2009. The 1999's decade, according to the encyclopedia, = 1990-1999 And wikipedia = 2000-2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000–2009 Free dictionary defines a decade from 1900-1909 (etc) http://www.thefreedictionary.com/decade So, to quote good ol' John McClane, "Bzzzt! Sorry Hans, wrong guess. Would you like to go for Double Jeopardy where the scores can really change?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perc2100 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Can't use Wikipedia as a reference ... And how can you depend on a "free" dictionary? I can't trust Wikipedia. Unless it's verified by other multiple sources. I did choose to only quote three of the MANY examples that back up what the OP (and apparently every other human being) said: and that doesn't include the many sources that only defined a decade as 10 consecutive years. *edit* The US Census also defines a decades as 1990-1999: http://www.census.gov/popest/archives/meth...90s-co-meth.txt Edited August 10, 2009 by perc2100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Godzilla! Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I can't believe you took a #### on a good thread just to argue about when a decade starts. Great idea. Loved the pictures you used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
