In time-honored Letterman Style:

Top Ten Ways Polygamist Asshats Keep 'Em "Back in 1999"

10) They've incorporated "Groundhog Day" into their theology. Everyone  
believes they're reliving December 31, 1999 over and over again.
9) Get up before everyone else and reset the clocks AGAIN!
8) Have an enormous secret warehouse full of the 1999 "Farmers  
Almanac" produce a new one every year, say "The wise people at Farmers  
Almanac are never wrong! This is the new Almanac!"
7) Convinced followers it was all 'a computer hoax that he innocently  
fell for; after all it said it was sent by Bill Gates, the FBI and all  
of AOL's Directors.'
6) Claim God had a last minute change of heart.
5) Claim they were all magically transported back in time. They have  
to stay hidden to avoid letting the natives get ahold of their  
advanced 1999 Dodge technology.
4) Say one year is just not enough to "party like it's 1999"
3) Ooops, wrong calendar!
2) Unfortunately God subcontracted the Apocalypse programming out to  
Elbonia. The Apocalypse is delayed until all the mud and pig parts are  
cleaned out.

and the number one way Polygamist Asshats Keep 'Em "Back in 1999":

1) Good old patriarchal terrorism!
