Happy New Years to all TBPers. Thanks for a great 2012. I’ve learned a lot from all of you. We will finish 2012 with almost 4.6 million visitors. I hope more visitors will become commenters. We promise to be nice.
I wish you and your families a happy and healthy 2013. See you next year.

Auld Lang Syne means Times Gone By and it is with this in mind and the news that 2013 will bring us the comet Ison, perhaps brighter than any in recent memory, I would like to share the fond memory of Marshal Applewhite and his Heavens Gate followers now riding through space on the comet Hale Bopp.
Here is Marshal in 1998 shortly before he discarded his ‘human container’ explaining it all in this video entitled- EARTH TO BE RECYCLED

“Your life should be able to tell at least a few good stories.”
Thanks for the stories, the humour, and for seeking out the truth, Admin. You’re the greatest! Happy New Year to you, Avalon, your family, and all the rest of the great crowd here. Hope you all make some good memories in 2013!

Bah Humbug!! I wonder what sort of fucked up legislation Obummer signed this New Years Eve? Perhaps he has executive ordered a Fiscal Cliff Plan or Gun Confiscation Plan?

@sangell, Comet McNaught in 2006 was visible before sunset. I observed it just as it became an evening object at 47 degrees north latitude. It was like spotting a 24hr old Moon, only smaller. The multiple disconnected tails rapidly became visible just moments after sunset.

Happy New year to all the crusty old TBP curmudgeons and in the New Year let US all endeavor to help those in need to achieve the education required to be of a success in this highly competitive albeit forcibly structured socializst society we continually mislabel a Republic.

Ms. Freud said I spend too much time on TBP. She said, “It’s either me or TBP, take your choice.” So, I said, “See ya later.”
Which worked well with my #1 2013 New Year Resolution …. keep my fucking priorities in the right order.
Happy New Year to all !! (Can you spare a dime?)

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.
Thank you for so much light in an otherwise dark time.

I’ll have to say you shit throwing monkeys have taught me a thing or two during the past year. My best to everyone.
My prediction…admin will be detained indefinitely without due process, labeled by a Congressional committee as a dangerous subversive, and all TPBers will be rounded up and forced to renounce this blog…or be deported and permanently banned from the internet.

My prediction is that someone will doppel Eddie as a HNY present, just to get his year started off on a good note. He will leave in a snit, but will again realize there is no place on earth like TBP, and will sneak back for more of the shit throwing.
Glad you stayed around, Eddie. You are toughening up.
