There was a Year 2000 store that popped up in 1999 at a local mall. My mom went literally maniacally insane with year 2000 presents. I got a T-shirt, two pairs of socks, an awful screensaver, big stack of Y2k sticky notes, and a hat, all sporting "01-01-2000" monogrammed in big letters.
Three things wrong with this:
1) The millenia actually ended in December of 2000, not 1999. 2001 is the first year in the 21st century. I was
adamantly opposed to all the stupid celebrations simply because they were celebrating nothing at all.
2) I was in college at the time. I was class of 2001. Wearing anything saying 2000 on it is considered heresy and
punishable by a public flogging (I jest, but it is still really bad to do that).
3) Who wears a freaking hat, shirt, and pair of socks with something that stupid on them? The socks sat in my drawer
with the little plastic hanging hook still threaded through them for near 4 years. The shirt stayed rolled up in its
box and was never worn. The hat collected dust on top of my desk. On a whim, I installed the screensaver. Just a
stupid countdown until the year 2000. Uninstalled, spat upon, and thrown away.
