My libtard seester is going to NYC to watch some fucking ball drop. She asked if Ms. Freud and I would like to go.
Hmmmmm ….. actual ISIS posters.
New York City is kinda like an armed camp right now. Nevertheless …
Q1: Should I go? Would you go?
Q2: Don’t you think ushering in a New Year by getting drunk is a really really stupid fucking way to start a year?
Q3: How will you celebrate this evening?
You can’t stand your sister. You can’t stand crowds. There will be 2 million people jammed into the Times Square area. You should not go. My three boys went up to NYC for one night earlier this week to see Phish at Madison Square Garden and the crowds were fine. Not tonight.
I dealt with drunk friends last year at the Valley Forge Casino and it was amusing. I don’t get drunk anymore.
I will be in bed and asleep by 10:30 tonight.
We are moving the engineer student into a new hopefully clean apartment. For the last time.
Happy New Year
I can’t stand my sister’s POLITICS. The Stucky family consists of less than 10 people. I can’t afford to hate any of them. I love my fucking libtard seester.
Other than that, you are spot on. We have another couple hours to decide … but, I’m 95% sure we’re staying put.
You asked the wrong question. The correct question would be Why in the world would anyone even consider going to NYC on NYE. I’d rather stick a hot fork in my eye.
I will appease my bread and circus college football addiction and watch the Clemson OSU game, and then go to bed.
In the words of the great prophet Thomas Chittum “stay out of crowds”
Yeah, I wouldn’t go either. Fuck that stupid ball. Why people get all fired up for what amounts to one second of time befuddles me these days. Even more so that I used to give a shit myself. Haha!
And thank God I won’t be seeing any of those craptastic TV celebrations with the obligatory cut scenes of dopes in the crowds with the “2017” glasses on either.
I’m more pissed that a lot of places I typically go will be closed or have limited hours.
In the past growing up in Boston area during the 70’s/early 80’s good bands would play.Saw Todd Rundgren in a small bar,usually saw either Areosmith or the J Geils band many times New Years,fun times in the old Garden!
Now,watch a movie/read a book,wake up slightly amused though the world seems to be going insane survived yet another year,have fun whatever your plans are!
If the Muslims had the ability to attack in any big way, they’d be doing it all the time. More of them are semi retards, which is why they have to sate their bloodlust by beheading 12 year old Muslims deemed to be from a heretical version of their own fucked up religion. You’d be safe there, just uncomfortable unless catheterized. Of course you should get drunk. Just do it in your own house, naked and passed out on top of a half-eaten pizza like the rest of us.
Yup. They really ARE a bunch of fucking Mental Midgets.
It is somewhat amazing to me that these mooslimfuks haven’t yet targeted a sports arena or mall. Security at those places are usually a complete joke, if it exists at all.
Just consider it an exciting and death defying adventure into a target rich environment.
If things go totally chaotic you’ll have bragging rights about being there and living through it.
Stucky- You need to take one for the team and do a TBP LIVE REPORT.
Being 7 feet tall has a huge advantage for scanning over the crowd. Send back real time pics of the crazies,trannies,drunks, arrests etc. and of the actual ball drop. If you see any Blackwater guys with the logo on their hats/backpacks or Mossad, get the hell out as a FF is going down.
This could be your greatest moment in journalism…………if you live.
Trying not to be a moran(word I learned from you earlier this year):
Q1: No and No. I do not want to be where there is a real possibility of an act of terrorism.
Q2: Yes.
Q3: We plan to remain quietly in our rural home. Ol’ Remus of Woodpile blog recommends to stay away from crowds-much safer.
Millions of tax dollars probably with no return spent on security so people can watch a ball drop. Stupid in my opinion. And the next day it’s the same old story. The debt goes up and the decline continues.
No, I would not go, Remus again, and no bathrooms.
I will not be getting drunk, possibly a little buzz.
We will be home in the sticks with the fire going, warm and
cozy, and ordering any animal forays (onto the bed) to cease
and desist. Then a lovely sleep. Best news, no hangover in the
morning.
Ringing in the New Year tonight…ringing in the ears on the morrow.
Q1 – No, I wouldn’t go. But you, Stucky, should most definitely go, just so we can hear you rant about it, hung over and pissed off, tomorrow.
Q2 – I won’t be getting drunk, but Ill drink a little. It used to be fun, but things change.
Q3 – In my own house, doing more or less the same thing I did last night, watching netflix after the kids are in bed and we’ve had dinner, and reading. We have two small children and won’t be going anywhere. Even if we had a babysitter, we still probably wouldn’t go anywhere. Even though I live in an area where I have little to no concern about a terrorist bothering me, I still hate crowds. Plus, the roads are a really dangerous place to be even if you are sober, and it is supposed to be raining here all night.
God damn, Im 31 and I sound like an old man already. WTF happened to me?
Gator,you became a parent,that’s what happened!I having no kids at 31 was a party animal on New Years.Hell,years later am still doing”What can possibly go wrong?”activities,but,have no kids or wife!Hell,almost married Julie,I did that would have killed me,OK,she would have killed me!I love crazy women but even for me she was nuts!
A friend of mine married with a kid,he loves uneventful/slightly boring lifestyle,that said,he does at least prep for chaos.
Ya my crazy days are over. Every now and then when I have to travel for work and don’t have wife/kids, ill go out. But I usually find myself thinking about things I could have done with the money I just spent going out to bars the next day and wish I’d just bought a bottle and stayed in. Having the wife and kids is what made me start wanting to be at least somewhat prepared for chaos. The ‘boring’ lifestyle doesn’t bother me a bit. 5 years ago I’d have said ‘no way’ but now that I have this life, I wouldn’t want it any other way. Happy new years, James.
It’s called acting responsible, the process that transforms even younger folks than you into “gray panthers.”
God willing, I will wage jihad tonight!
How can unit472 not have 50 thumbs up? That was funny.
Reading Suzanna’s post I realized that I did not answer the other questions posed by Stucky.
That’s a big NO for me as I don’t enter Yankee territory on a good day much less plant myself in the middle of a crowd of that size.
I’m not a drinker but may have a glass of champagne.
@ Stuck –
I’m from small-town Oklahoma. I would like to go to NYC on New Years Eve, just so I could check it off The List.
This could be a chance at developing/healing/reconciliation with your sister, provided you stay away from hot topics. She invited you. Maybe that means she’d like to spend the night with you and your wife.
I think getting rowdy drunk is perfectly acceptable, provided the person has a legitimate plan not to drive.
We’re going with a cousin to watch the Dallas Stars play ice hockey, and then back to the cousin’s house for mucho vino and some Cards Against Humanity. It’s entirely possible I’ll have a hangover tomorrow morning. When we go start drinking wine with her, in the beginning, it’s a small taste of this, and a little sample of that. As the night progresses, it’s less about “tasting” and more about “drinking.”
As a full-grown man, here’s the thing about hangovers. There’s no mystery to them anymore. If you’re going to play, be prepared to pay. I know where a hangover comes from and what causes them. It’s not like a surprise anymore.
I, for one, think you should go. Drink none, or as little, or as much as you want.
1. No & no. Are you out of your fucking mind? I will 2nd the stay away from crowds thing.
2. Yes. It’s a pretty dumb way of doing much of anything… except getting drunk or maybe, ya know, getting arrested? Both cops & regular assholes are out in force on NYE, just like St. Patty’s Day. When I did drink regularly (& heavily) we called these 2 nights “amateur night” & stayed the hell home. Even habitual drunkards have more sense than to go out tonight.
3. It sucks being sick, but is so nice starting to feel better. Just like yesterday evening. Feed the fire, be warm, eat delicious meatloaf again (hopefully with baked potato tonight), sneak up on the old girl & initiate an early bedtime, get up c. midnight to take meds, go back to bed.
1. Not on YOUR life.
2. Foolishness.
3. I will sit next to the wood stove with my wife of 41 years and start another year and be thankful.
1) No, you should not.
2) How you usher in a New Year is how you will likely spend the rest of it. Unless you prefer an inebriated state it is likely an unwise choice.
3) The local ski resort opens its slopes to sledding and then has a fireworks display. We set up a pop-up enclosure, bring chili, cornbread, hot cocoa, a bottle of champagne and a propane heater and enjoy ourselves immensely.
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE AT TBP!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!
So I’ll be naked and passed out in a half-eaten pizza all year? Excellent.
Q1: Should I go? Would you go? Your A$$ Stuck, My wife really wants to see TOP.. Tower of Power in Htfd tonight…Pray for me…I don’t like being in crowds or gun free zones…most dangerous places on earth..mike
No. No. Yes. I don’t know.
When I lived in Madrid, Spain I used to go to the Puerta Del Sol (Madrid’s Times Square) already hammered along with all the natives to eat grapes as the bells counted down the final seconds. That was a different time and crowds didn’t make me too nervous.
We have no plans for this evening. I’m trying to get my sleep cycle adjusted back to my regular schedule to go back to work next week so I’ll be up until 3:00am. I’ll probably be reading something and sipping a wee dram of Utopias with a little poured over a slice of the most devine, fresh made fruit cake on earth. My bosses Scottish mother makes me a loaf each year in return for a couple bottles of wine.
Everybody STFU and go to bed. Who the fuck stays up past 10PM to ‘usher in’ another day?
I have to go to my brother-in-law’s house in Sunland right off the 210 to have some Menudo, the real (hot) stuff, not the dull Sopa de Pata.
Otherwise, I’d be right here watching the morans on TV freezing their collective asses off waiting for a ball to drop some umpteen times. Why do they do that? That shit is the precursor to reality TV where morans make fools of themselves and provide the media with content by unpaid ‘extras’.
My personal nightmare would be if I found myself freezing my ass off waiting 24 hours on the curb for the Parade of Roses. I hate parades and if I added the sacrifice of sitting on a curb for that long, fuck it.
EC
You and Admin seem to be suffering from Low T.
What is this sissy crap about going to bed at 10/10:30 tonight. I will be up til two or three swinging from the chandeliers. Eat some fukkin oysters or something.
Bea, I hope your not throwing a necktie party for yourself. Heh.
No, I have to go to a party, I only sent everybody here to bed if they are planning on going to Times Square.
Actually, the way I’ve been ragging about women and everything else, low T is not a problem.
The problem is that I don’t like NY celebrations. It all stems from the time (1975) I was celebrating the new year with my GF and before the year was out, she was gone.
Q1:
I’d stay put Stuck. Personally, the older I get the more I prefer solitude as opposed to chaos. I have a feeling you might feel the same way?
Q2:
To each his own. Nothing wrong with celebrating and blowing off steam.
Q3:
Soberly. I put down the booze over 8 months ago. I always stay up to watch the balls(s) drop on TV. If the entire family is home at midnight, our tradition is to break out the fancy glasses, pour some sparkling grape juice and tell each other what we were thankful for over the past year and what we are hoping for in the new year. If the entire family is not home, we do this at breakfast or lunch on New Year’s day. We have done this since the kids were old enough to stay up until midnight and it always amazes me how I keep recalling the moment(s) throughout the year(s). Kind of fun.
Whatever you do, be safe and enjoy yourself.
If there is one thing I hate it’s crowds, and if there is one thing I hate more than crowds, it’s crowds in Time Square on New Years Eve!!!
Ya! You should go as I was not asked and ,therefore, I have no need to refuse.
[Q1: Should I go? Would you go?
Q2: Don’t you think ushering in a New Year by getting drunk is a really really stupid fucking way to start a year?
Q3: How will you celebrate this evening?]
1. Yes, you might wind up with a lovely story to relate to the rest of us. No, I wouldn’t even if I could; I have no friends in Sodom-On-The-Hudson, and wouldn’t enjoy visiting just to drink, and didn’t lose anything there to go back and retrieve.
2. Yes, if you’re married / sane / over 30; otherwise, do and drink up!
3. I ‘m working tonight; I’m part of a backup service to provide 911 confirmations for deaf people. This is my weekend gig; since I make 6x the money hourly as a consultant than I do doing this, it’s almost like volunteer work, but not quite. The system is useful, we have gotten some lovely cards / letters from folks who got pulled out of a jam because we were able to send 911 folks looking for them when they needed help. I work 3 – 12PM on Sat / Sun, so at midnight I will be here, just getting off shift. Hopefully I’ll make it past all the drunks and stoners who might be whooping it up on the highways, or maybe I’LL have a lovely story to share with the rest of you.
Happy New Year to you all; with Obama leaving the WH, there’s a good chance it will be.
No
No
Maybe a few drinks but definitely not drunk.
Home with my family, college football, maybe an episode of GT on Amazon.
Don’t like crowds. Don’t like getting drunk. Don’t like freezing my ass off. I don’t get thrilled by a fucking ball being lowered on a string. Would rather watch a turd fall into a toilet, it least it wouldn’t last that long.
Stucky
Before I start to party…….
Iz you or ain’t you in Times Square? Inquiring minds want to know.
We are on central time here so it is a little after 10:00 pm for you………where is the live coverage we have been waiting for?
Are you still awake? Good Lord!
