Not because it was sappy. In fact it shouldn't have evoked any emotion at all other than a lust for bargain priced furniture. But no. At the end it said, "Spring isn't half over. Its half off!"
You have to realize that as this commercial was playing in the background, I was looking out our front window at a snow-covered lawn as rain continued to fall. "How can Spring be half over?", I thought. "Its still winter outside."
Honestly, Utah. I thought you were a desert.

Good call, yo!! Monday, I could have sworn that summer was very well on its way with the sun and the no coats or anything. But Thursday, only 4 days later, it was like the middle of January all day long!! Then when I got up this morning, it's 40 degrees! Desert indeed.
you do realize that spring just began on march 21. so we are only like 17 days in right now with about 75 to go til summer. so i thinks "half" may be a bit of a lie.
I do realize that "half over" is a bit of a lie, but I didn't say it, the commercial did.
Also, I don't find that the official dates always seem to line up with the weather. I tend to think of June, July, and August as summer, as opposed to July, August, and September, and so forth.
Using that method of calcuating, spring begins on March 1 and at this point is 38 days in (45 would be halfway).
dude, there was so much snow on my car at the U Thursday when I left for home (4:15pm). It is the only time in all 5 years where I needed a guy to shovel behind my car and 3 guys to help push me out of my parking stall ... crazy.
so if i could arbitrarily assign the seasons, lets make spring february 1 - may 1, and tyhen we can say summer is almost here!
I think the key problem with your argument is the word "arbitrarily". I was assigning seasons based on things like weather patterns and the traditional school calendar. Not just "arbitrarily" doing it.
so, according to your weather patterns, does it snow in the spring? if not, i would say your seasonal deliniations are a little off.
