“Hey waitaminute, dude! Shouldn’t that say ‘2014’ up at tha top a tha page?”
“Huh?”
“C’mon, dude, New Year’s Day was yestaday! It’s 2014 now! So shouldn’t that be 2014 up there?”
“What? An’ make people think they slept through tha year already? Ya wanna start mass panic ‘r somethin’?”
“Hey, that oughta be fun! ‘Hey dudes, tha zombies stole 2014 while ya weren’t lookin’! Yee haa!'”
“Worse. Happens ever’ year. Groundhog Day in reverse.”

“Sorry, dude, ain’t gonna happen.”

“Thing that starts in Year X still is known as happening in Year X even if it slops over a bit inta Year X plus 1. National Football League’s still playin’ its 2013 season even though tha playoffs are in January 2014 an’ the Super Bowl ain’t till February. An’ we all know that football is God. Sure as hell makes more money than God. Ask any church ’bout that, ‘specially if services conflict wit’ a game.”
“Awright, OK. But I sure hope OC ‘members ta put the right year down when datin’ his checks?”
