I can’t remember the last time I went out on New Years. I’m usually asleep by 11:00. Not this year. I’ll be partying until the wee hours of the morning. First we go to an early dinner at a steakhouse in King of Prussia. Then we head over to the Valley Forge Casino to drink and gamble until 10:00 pm. Then we ring in the new year with a concert by Avalon’s favorite band of all-time – Third Eye Blind. I hope I can stay awake until midnight.
It’s been an eventful year for TBP. Our visitor count went from 4.4 million last year to 6.1 million this year. As things get worse, more people gravitate to reality based sites like TBP. I must have attracted nothing but cheapskates, as the donation total dropped from $12,000 to under $11,000. It must be my tremendous business acumen that makes this site such a financial juggernaut.
I’d like to thank all the donors, all the contributors, all the commenters, and all the lurkers for being part of something bigger than themselves. We may disagree, fight, curse each other, and get bent out of shape on occasion, but at least we have a place to vent where the government and the mainstream media can’t interfere. I think 2016 will be a historic year. We are still in the midst of the Fourth Turning, so 2016 will certainly not be better than 2015. But we can all ride it out on a daily basis here on TBP.
See you next year.
And since SSS and the rest of you old farts have never heard of Third Eye Blind, here are a few of their hits.
2016 here already, all the best to everyone involved with the site, 2016 is going to be a wild ride.
Thanks, Jim, for keeping this two-bit blog going.
I’ve read so much about your personal lives, I feel like I know you.
Stuck, lloph, SSS, I_S, El Coyote, Maggie, Stephanie, bb, Admin, and all the others. You feel a little bit like family, in the same way that Crazy Uncle Jim is family.
Thanks for sharing all your lives and insight into this 4th turning with all of us.
Happy New Year to everyone here. This heathen heretic is praying, offering best wishes and success in to all in year ahead. Should be interesting part of 4th turning with the evil shitlord Trump leading the way.
Happy New Year to everyone at the hippest corner bar on the Interwebs.

Happy New Year everybody!
@Rob in Nova Scotia,
Look on the bright side. At least “the evil shitlord Trump” is occasionally amusing. The lying bitch Hitlery Clinton is about as inspiring as a wad of soiled toilet paper.
Tim, I’m honored to be included in your list. However, there are high flying avians and there are low flying chicken. There are long distance sea birds and land lubbers. I’m more of a ground pounder myself.
Haha
No worries VegasRob Hitlery is beyond contempt. At least Trump keeps it real.
Admin, you read but you don’t listen….”no public place is safe, but I especially avoid cities, airports, sports venues, malls, bad neighborhoods and bars.” Ol’ Remus Tsk..tsk.. I hope your rackin and packin.
Here’s wishing TBPer’s a great and prosperous New Year.
In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship but never in want.
There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head-
If a man doesn’t drink when he’s living,
How the hell can he drink when he’s dead?
2016! I win!
I couldn’t get trashed if I wanted to. I have a built in failsafe. Once I’ve had three drink I don’t have the coordination to get my hand to my mouth anymore.
Tim ,thanks . I must have really made a profound impact on your screwed up life.
To all TBP ers .Have a safe and happy New Year’s eve including you Tim.
KaD says: I couldn’t get trashed if I wanted to. I have a built in failsafe. Once I’ve had three drink I don’t have the coordination to get my hand to my mouth anymore.
We call those girls in a bar ‘available’.
Happy New Years admin and TBP dysfunctional family. Another year, another kick in the balls. And I am just talking about the sad sack Eagles.
Also, please open up the stinking checkbooks you cheap bastards. Admin, expect donation within a week. Remind me with some unkind words if I forget to do so. I really appreciate what you do.
Archie, if you can spare some of that male hooker money you have stashed, please send some to TBP
happy new to all, hope it is a healthy one. i will say this for this crowd, whatever comes down the pike we will not be surprised
Thanks to Admin for hosting this site, pointing out fallacies as they come along, and giving us the chance to speak out as we choose. Best wishes to all
Now el boracho, that was a very unkind and gratuitous statement. Please retract it, or in the coming new year I will make it a point of poking your eye out each night and feeding it to my neighbor’s rabbit, blackjack.
Or, alternatively I will become a rabid anti beaner, even more so than you are. I don’t think you will like it.
Happy New Year to Admin & the rest of you monkeys. It’s been fun sparring with you in 2015 and I look forward to even more fun and frolic in 2016.
By the way el coolie, I did at one point have a beaner friend, until I found out he was an actual faggot.
No way, For Real ? The Year of The Monkey 2016..I’ll be Damned…I Better send Jim another ten bucks…Thanks for the perspective STM’s..I love this place..Mike in Ct…
Arch, back in the day if you asked old Phil from NY to remind you of something, he would immediately remind you. Since you asked Admin to remind you with unkind words, I decided to remind you with unkind words right then.
As for your gay friend, I pissed off my co-workers on a regular basis by declaring, I have nothing against gays – most of my co-workers are gay.
Have a happy and wonderful night celebrating the end of another year. We made it this far, buddy.
As the sun sets over Free America and 2016 signals the end:
Thanks to everyone here.
Arch, I’m not a rabid anti-beaner, I’m a beaner, a free-thinking beaner.
If I throw a stone at whites, I hit half the folks in my family and if I throw a stone at blacks, I hit another half in the family.
Like Francis Marion I also have queers and lesbos in the family. Fuck.
They in turn have a relative participating in TBP.
This diversity bullshit has got me all diversified. Maybe we can slice and dice groups of folks into tranches or mutual fund families.
For auld lang syne”, “for (the sake of) old times”.
Happy New Years! – Left Coast Style:

El jefe, no harm done. I actually chuckled to myself. I think you are the most mercurial and bizarre poster here on TBP. Most of the time I don’t know what the fuck you are saying. But you seem smart. You might be Shakespeare or a back room man, a genius or a stock boy, I don’t know, really.
My gay Mexican buddy was actually fruitier than a fruitcake, but he had a good sense of humor. That goes a long way with me. Now that I am older, I just prefer my own kind with prejudice.
Merry New Year To All !!
Admin- Thanks for not throwing me out of TBP, you are the best sincerely. 🙂
I suspect there is some loss in the translation and then there are my leaps of logic and entire sentences dropped because I figure explanation isn’t necessary.
It is hard to tell a male chauvinist joke to a feminist because after 50 years, it is still too soon. That’s my problem, it is always too soon but if I wait, somebody else will get the glory for being on the edge.
I’m a 5’4″ introvert with regressive attitudes and a critical eye. Still, I do not have any women locked up in the basement.
EL Coyote says:…… “If I throw a stone at whites, I hit half the folks in my family and if I throw a stone at blacks, I hit another half in the family. ”
Now that about fucking explains it
Bea, you can’t spell TBP without you. My nightmare scenario would be if you, flash and stuck decided to take a break from TBP at the same time. We already have practically lost LLPOH; his infrequent comments are more like postcards from paradise.
EC- I’m glad you are piped in at the moment. We have a question about Mexican New Years food. What is the traditional Mexican New Years Day meal?
For example, we eat cabbage and blackeyed peas with ham or corned beef.
We have a New Years tradition with our two girls. No matter what, we all meet for breakfast on New Years day at the local Tastee Dinner.
Merry New Year to all..beef jerky time!!! ……………Happy New Year to all you shit-slinging simians. Have a good night…………..Remember, Statism is the great lie…….it gives us the opposite of what it promises us…no security, no peace, no prosperity, just fear, poverty, war, racial strife and death..what do you seek? Total State or total freedom?…you can’t have both…
My parents gave me cash for Christmas. They just HATE it when I spend it on cigars and other shit, so I promised mom I would replace my 10 year old pair of sneakers she HATES, and get some nicer dress jeans. So, we went to Jersey Garden Mall ….. a huge outlet near Ikea. What a haul!!
— Nautica ski jacket
— Nike sneakers
— Puma sneakers (I bought 2 pair cuz it’s RARE and hard to find size 14-Wides !!)
— House slippers
— 2 pair of Wranglers and 2 pair of Levis’s
— a quilted lined flannel shirt
— a lined blue-jean shirt
— 6 pair of black socks
— 8 pair of white socks
— 8 Hanes boxer shorts
— leather belt
Total cost? $227. Ho Lee Fuk, how is that even possible??? But, it is. God bless this great country, a consumer heaven.
Afterwards we went to Ikea for a late lunch (horse-meat meatballs, fries, and liggonberry juice). Mostly, though, we went to relax cuz it’s fun watching the planes land at Newark airport, just a hundred or so yards across the Turnpike. Man, oh, man, I do luuuuv me some ‘Murica!!!
Happy New Year ya STM nutjobs!
“We went to eat at Ikea for lunch”
You don’t hear that every day.
What an amazing and funny (funny as in you make me laugh) collection of people.
May you find many blessings in 2016 despite the ominous clouds over there on the horizon.
Another ball dropped?

Bea Lever says: EC- I’m glad you are piped in at the moment. We have a question about Mexican New Years food. What is the traditional Mexican New Years Day meal?
I don’t know. Most often, people over here have turkey or ham. In the past, when we were kids, my parents bought a hogs head and made tamales. Other times they made menudo. These are po’ folks, not the hoity toity Mexicans.
Fred has tried to explain it and I have said so before. Even Trump has said this. Mexico does not send its best. It’s mostly poor dumb folks that are desperate enough to leave their homeland. The Mexican nationals know this and they despise us cholos for being sons of wetbacks. That is, until they come over and then they try to stay true to their Mexican roots. Hypocrites.
It was an eventful evening, with Admin almost thrown out of the concert. Any night that ends with a 2:30 am double cheeseburger will not result in a pleasant morning. I’ll write a post a little later when we get home from the hotel. I’m a little lethargic after 5 hours sleep.
Admin, I’m glad to hear it because a certain fishcake told me in the Odds comments that you and llpoh were getting soft around here.
You will not give a damn that Nick and I successfully infiltrated the hillbilly festivities here and successfully rang in the new year with fireworks and shotguns with no one harmed but Bullwinkle, as you can see from his remnants decorating the fireplace.
Happy New Year!
