You can take the Oxford comma from my cold, dead hands, but the name of the show is Mystery Science Theater 3000 not 3,000. Oh well. The mayor was doing good by the show, so I can let it go.

Whoa, commas. We sure we don’t want to make this thread about something a little less divisive, maybe political discussion instead? Or maybe one space/two spaces after a period?

The situation could have been worse; the mayor could have been born and raised in any one of a number of certain non-English speaking countries. Then the proclaimation would have been for “Mystery Science Theater 3.000” day.
I’ll show myself out…
[Edit] Have you actually read the full text of that proclaimation? It’s a hoot! I’ll forgive the comma for this paragraph alone:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jacob Frey, Mayor of Minneapolis, do solemnly swear on the grave of Eegah, that November 22nd, 2018, shall be known as

The confusion arises from the fact that the show clearly does not take place in the year 3000. So the poor muggles are left wondering, 3000 of what, exactly?

Well, the theater itself is the titular Mystery Science Theater, so perhaps 3000 is its Turkey Volume?

Eegah’s not dead.

It says so in the Book of Genesis:
“There were giants in the earth in those days, and they died in the swimming pool,” Chapter 4, Verse 32.

“3,000 is far too large a volume for a turkey! It cannot be! I know this for certain; for I am Turkey Volume Guessing Man!”
