Your New Year’s Eve Open Thread

/arrives home today at 3pm

Son: All done work, dad?

Me: No. I’ve got to make a few phone calls and then put something together and then email it off. [walks downstairs]

Son: Let me know when you’re done.

Me: [mumbles and grumbles about this time-sensitive thing that has to be done] Yeah, sure.

Me: [walks upstairs about 30 minutes later-is presented with a jigger of Dalwhinnie by son]

There’s so much talk about “The Christmas Spirit”, why does no one talk about “The New Year’s Eve Spirit”? [wipes away tear thinking about son’s gesture]. Okay, I’ll assume that we’re split with respect to guys/gals going out/staying in. Whatever you’re up to, have yourself a good time. As far as the typical New Year’s sentiments are concerned, I sorta-if I bother to think about it-wish you folks well all the year long so I won’t now indulge in that stuff. That’s just me-you guys do whatever the hell you want. Whether you’re drinking up, snacking up, trying to get laid, bingeing yet again on the many sports offerings this evening (guilty) or whatever, take care of yourself so that we can keep this little thing that we’ve got rolling on into the future.

Holy shit I used to have that!!! I didn’t actually know how to play hearts when I was little but I had that deck.

Fireworks, my dog doesn’t like fireworks.

JerBear50

Doesn’t like fireworks? What kind of goddamn America-hating communist dog are you raising Moose?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes, well, she is GERMAN just like Karl Marx!

Never trusted the Marx Brothers!

Redshirt

At least its not people shooting guns in the air. I won’t know if it 2015 or if the British are coming, the British are coming.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I live in Colorado; they are not all fireworks.

laserguru

My brother and I just came up with a great idea for a business venture.

We’re going to open up a donut shop and call it the “Glory Hole”.

ballsofsteelandfury

Do you need investors?

JerBear50

Do you need glazers?

laserguru

Cream and jelly filled would be our specialty.

JerBear50

Jelly would be called the Patriot?

JerBear50

Actually, I guess all the non-Patriot donuts would be jelly.

ballsofsteelandfury

I miss Vancouver. I could go for a Japadog right about now.

“You what?!”

Doktor Zymm

I’m meeting a friend. No one will be sticking an unwelcome finger in my ass tonight! Probably.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s the DFO way!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Qualified and quantified by “an unwelcome finger”…………..

Redshirt

So the finger will be “welcome”. Good show, Dok. Have fun!

nomonkeyfun

If an old black guy in a brightly colored sweater offers you a drink or one of his puddin pops, run don’t walk away.

JerBear50

But what if he really wants to help teach you how to draw?

JerBear50

You’re too good for that kind of half-ass (no pun intended) effort Dok. You demand full salad treatment or you kick his (or her) ass square out of bed.

nomonkeyfun

The sideline reporter on radio for the Houston game was named Allison Williams. I couldn’t hear her speak without thinking of that scene.

JerBear50

I’m not familiar with “that scene” but I think maybe I’d like to be.

(at 3:00)
Me: That’s a lot of wings. You sure you want to order that many?
Mom: Yeah! We’ll eat them! Don’t worry.

(at 9:30)
Mom: Redshirt, we still got a lot of wings left. You need to eat them so we don’t have leftovers.

nomonkeyfun

To quote Marlo Stansfield
That’s one of them good problems.

ballsofsteelandfury

Happy New Year, Halifax!

Shit, I missed Rio…

ballsofsteelandfury

Never mind, it IS Rio!

nomonkeyfun

Thass Raycess.

I’ve got someone named Jack Herer who just stopped by. Only tonight he’s going by “Platinum Jack.”
Weirdo.

Doktor Zymm

I just put on deodorant I must be going out. Damn. Going out on drinking holidays always ends poorly. Though actually this Halloween ended okay. So…95+% ends poorly? Halloween shouldn’t count as a drinking holiday anyhow.

laserguru

Good luck.
We’re all counting on you.

Doktor Zymm

I really hope that’s an Airplane reference.

laserguru

’tis

ballsofsteelandfury

Watch your ass. I believe the last time you told us it didn’t end that well…

nomonkeyfun

Just remember do what the rest of the Commentariat wouldn’t do. Drink responsibly in a bar.

Doktor Zymm

The best part of this song :
“Dope boy, you are not my friend, you need to get away
Call up my driver tell him scoop me in his Escalate
Night Sunday, bet 1000 bucks on Tampa Bay”

This song is from 2013. Dude lost his money.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Just finished a lovely dinner out with the lady. Serves as a reminder of why we generally don’t do holidays at restaurants. Time to hit up a house party. Happy New Year’s all!

laserguru

Remember, Uber is your friend.
Happy New Year BFC.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh I have no illusions of taking the car out tonight. Safety never takes a vacation.

Doktor Zymm

“Swish, I’m balling
I’m so awesome
Old bitch keep calling
She think I’m awesome
Choppers wanna rob me
I’m so awesome
Out here like a possum
I’m so, I’m so awesome”

Mich state wins. Dantonio has a cardiac event which is not technically a heart attack; such events revert back to being called “Dantonios” instead of “Kubiaks”.

King Hippo

Hey, the post-Whalers won! That’s gotta be embarrassing for the Ice Redacteds.

King Hippo

Some poor fucker was named “Macgarret” and decided to make a “Jr” out of it. He’s lucky not to have been murdered in his sleep already.

King Hippo

There Will Be Punts

Doktor Zymm

I saw that as “There Will Be Pants” and I almost had a heart attack.

King Hippo

NEIN, fraulein!! Verboten!

jjfozz

Managing my buzz, that’s what I’m doing!

Doktor Zymm

A pint of 10% beer and half a bottle of cava in, I’m reconsidering my plan of not going out. I could just go to the bar on the corner….

nomonkeyfun

That’s how they get you. Next thing you know you’re singing Auld Lang Syne and kissing strangers at midnight, 20 miles from your home.

King Hippo

but then would you REALLY be ONE OF US???

I miss that old codger Brent.

King Hippo

you’re looking LIVE

nomonkeyfun

I need him to tell me which player has a hot girlfriend that is young enough to be his granddaughter.

King Hippo

you say that like it’s a BAD thing…

Why in the hell were they playing ” We are the Champions” after the game?

Clemson won the semi finals, not even a conference championship.

I’m also really sick of that song by now.

It’s only been cool two times I’ve heard it. One was Live Aid when Queen brought down the house, and when the USWNT had their ticker tape parade. Best of the three ticker tape parades I’ve seen in person. It was really awesome to see all those girls screaming their heads off for women who’d really accomplished something instead of some stupid boy band.

Sill Bimmons

So that happened and continues to happen.

ballsofsteelandfury

Happy New Year, Azores!

I work for a casino, so at present time I am grinding out a few hours on my normal day off to help with our New Year’s BS. Whence I leave here, I have a cold keg of Bitburger straight from Germany on ice in a garbage can. I am going to so much damage.

WCS

I’m not comfortable with living in a world where Clemson is actually good.

Beerguyrob

But I need to live in a world where someone has a chance to make Nick Saban sad.

I’m developing the theory that the person who invented yoga was just a perv. A genius perv, but still just the same.

laserguru

I made it home!
Beers ahoy!

I’ve been catching the second half of the (recorded) OK v Clemson game and remembered reason 1,474 why I fucking hate marching bands.
When the Oklahoma band plays their fucked up fanfare sound where the entire band plays the same note for 20-30 seconds just to make fucking noise always reminded me of this.

I tried posting this earlier, but it didn’t work.
Best art/photo book I’ve ever seen.
Called Contact High, pictures of nekkid (in an artistic way)pretty, young women smoking pot often together.
I’d try to post the cover but it is so close to the edge for the site I don’t want to be taken to Balls Octopus Porn Memorial woodshed.

nomonkeyfun

Yes. But in a normal person hot way.
I saw it in a bookstore and it was the 23rd and I’d just started Christmas shopping. I didn’t really have time to jerk off in the store. So I just looked at a few pictures.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes

litre_cola

Found a 2L bottle of red left over from the xmas party. Normally for the end of the night when I can’t taste anything but hell, might as well hit that before the bar.

Horatio Cornblower

Hey there Glip-Glops.

We’re just about the head out and, much like Oklahoma’s football team, will not be back until next year. Just wanted to say that you’re all the best and this site stepping in for KSK has been a highlight of my year. Look forward to more time-wasting activities such as football, booze and dick-jokes in the New Year.

Stay safe and off the roads, because I will be on them.

Sill Bimmons

Say “hi” to the humans…

Horatio Cornblower

Well they’re ‘Bama fans, so “humans” might be pushing it.

Sill Bimmons

I meant your family…

Horatio Cornblower

One of them’s wearing a panda suit.

What the hell is going on around here?

Sill Bimmons

Try not to get pulled over…

Sill Bimmons

welp

At least the Ice Stillers have rallied to tie the Wings.

I should be in the desert for Ice Cards and Ice Bombers, there are more of my countrymen there than desert transplants usually.

Sill Bimmons

Countrypersons.

“Have you thought of making Margaret a charitable institution?”

Sill Bimmons

How the fuck can all these players, pro and college, be cramping up in this day and age?

WCS

Need more #NanoBubbles

Not enough bourble?

All those tough guys, too cool to drink water.

Need IVs. Before and after games.
