en_US locale date formats:
FULL: Saturday, August 18, 2007
LONG: August 18, 2007
MEDIUM: Aug 18, 2007
SHORT: 8/18/07

MMYYYYDD isn't in anybody's locale format as far as i can remember but chopping 
the string into date parts & building a datetime object from those is pretty 
trivial for one locale w/a fixed format like that.

yes & that's why you should *always* format dates using one of the (java) 
standards formats, FULL,LONG,MEDIUM,SHORT. you can pretty much always parse 
those back to datetime objects.
