what's so kludgey about this, Phil?

I'm actually curious why you want it set soooo far into the future?

I usually only set it for 3 months on the long end.

It's highly unlikely that your site will still exist in its current form
in 100 years from now, let alone 2 or 3. Of course, you can always be
optimistic. :)

I don't know of any date limitations since I never look ahead that far
(cookies, life, coding, etc), so I would go by tbe guidance of others
regarding the 2038 date.

honestly made no sense to me as to how to do it.
