I've never had any doubt that Graham was correct, he's been doing this stuff for way longer than I've been watching it after all, who am I to question?
According to what I can find in Wikipedia, British Columbia is at UTC-8, whilst the United Kingdom (Where I am) is at UTC. I think that means that it's equivalent to GMT-8, or noon when I'm at 8 PM (If I'm wrong, sorry, time is fleeting and so is my memory). So for me, it's usually a day after anyways.

That's right and 8am Pacific Standard Time, UTC-8, is 6pm Greenwich Mean Time (UTC).
I live just east of the halfway mark between youze, and having a sparsely-populated island sitting on one of those time zone lines meant we got a 1/2-hour time zone of our own, rather than spit Newfoundland into two zones. UTC-3.5 or EST + 1-1/2hrs...or PST + 4-1/2hrs.
So if LRR puts a video up on their site at 8pm Friday, it's already 12:30am Saturday here in Newfie-land, and it's 6am Saturday...you know, in England.
Folks in Australia have even more fun; Sydney is UTC+10, so by that point it's 4pm Saturday with that same video posting.
The West Coasties, they just keep doddling behind us, eh?

Someone needs to build or find an island in the middle of the Pacific that hurdles the international dateline. That way you can wake up on the west side of island having slept in and goofed off all day, then walk east to work and in the process jump backwards 23 hours to start the day normally.
Only problem is that walking home would take a full day to accomplish. Hmm.

Yeah, it's those little bugs that made Them draw the IDL back and forth off of 180degrees Longitude to go around several island chains...
...bunch of spoilsport killjoys.

I completely agree.
"They don't need help to begin with," was very smooth, heehee.
Giraphphe, I laughed so hard at that. The only problem with those sorts of incognito jokes is I get laughing and miss something, which is not an issue with awesome endings. Like this one, where I laughed away contentedly without missing more fun.
