New Years Eve Thread

Yeah…how does the whole ball dropping thing?

Well, when a young boy reaches puberty they start getting hair in funny places, get feelings for girls and then the ball drops. I am not a doctor but it is something like that.

Better place for this:………… my grandson stopped by and started singing (to the tune of Puff the magic Dragon):Barack Hussein Obama came to DC to clean up the f#&cking mess left by the GOP!I’ve added:They’d turned a budget surplus into a pile of debt,And now they clearly don’t even give a fucking shit!Come on Cescans. Let’s do IT!Where’s Elvis when you need him?I know there are some really creative folks here!Sadly I’m not one of them!

The Joe,”Well, when a young boy reaches puberty they start getting hair in funny places, get feelings for girls and then the ball drops. I am not a doctor but it is something like that.”It worked a little different for a few of my friends. One of them got hot for me which was taboo in the 60′s, but I tried it anyway. Just wasn’t my thing. Different strokes for different folks!

Blagojevich and Cabbage Patch go together like Bolton and Loompa.

I’m from Canada, but I’m here in NYC and heading down to Times Square shortly. Excited to be spending the New Year’s festivities with all you U.S.Americans.

Ok. What’s I miss?

Welcome Harem! Also.Watch yer cornhole there, bud. And yer wallet.

Dunno, Packattack. What is I miss?

Heh, thanks Jane. We’ll be very careful.

@ Jane… very funny…@ HaremScarem… good luck.. it is freezing out there tonight. Everyone should experience Times Square on NYE once in their lives … then you realize that once is quite enough. Just imagine people gridlock.

Harem, if you can manage it I highly recommend getting thee to a rooftop at midnite so as to be out of crowds, have a view of all the fireworks in the city, and get a taste of living there in the city flexible also.I must go buy steak.

Would that I could Jane, but we’ll be in that logjam. I’m excited/apprehensive.

Sheesh! Embarrass me over a typo, Janeygoblatsin.For anyone interested, it warmed up to -11F here today!Since it will cool off again, I’ve decided staying home tonight is just a damned good idea.

>>>funny feelings about girls.Sorry, I wasn’t trying to make a statement about sexual preference. It was suppose to be a joke about the biological effects of balls dropping. Again, sorry.

Jane,Those two pictures that you posted upthread of Blago v Cabbage Patch just cracked me up. Would you mind if I used them on my blog, giving you your due credit of course. These need to be my lasting images of 2008.Willpen

I’ve started my New Years’ drinking…I don’t want to be functional tomorrow…

Digg?Dugg.

I see Bob’s figured out how to diagram a Palin sentence…QT

What about when the other ball drops. Is that like the other shoe? Do you have to go to another big city like Sydney or something and drop that one there?In 15 minutes I’ll be missing my traditional midnight Hogmanay call from my daughter in Edinburgh. So I could wrap up my New Years at 7pm and hit the hay, knowing it was New Years where my kid was and that she was in the city doing the celebrating with (as I heard it on the phone, loudly) crazies screaming and fireworks blasting. So somebody fucking call me from NY and give me that warm fuzzy feeling. But make it 5 hours early to get the full effect. Find a way to simulate the crowd and the fireworks. Oh, never mind. I should get over it.

It’s going to be very cold in NY – wind chill is gonna be like 5 and some of those streets are going to be like wind tunnels. But with a million other people crowded together, maybe it won’t be so bad…

They’ll be packed in like penguins in Antarctica.So, what is everyone doing tonight?I’m going to two parties. First there’s an adult wine party followed by a family oriented, lots of kids and more wine party. Ending with fireworks, champagne and bad singing.

Willamina, have at it. I’m just surprised I haven’t seen it elsewhere yet.(funny feeling about boys)DP, I’ve long been thinking of this as Amateur night. One to avoid.I’m going to Kat Beach tomorrow to enjoy the scenery minus the people. *sigh*

Jane,Thanks…

I have a dilemma! One of my non-cescan facebook friends just became a fan of (I can hardly type this)..SEAN FUCKING HANNITY….my immediate reaction was to unfriend her immediately. And now …there is an ad for the aforementioned SFH on my Facebook page. WTF?!?!

UNFRIEND THEM! NOW, while you aren’t Tainted! (or give us all their email, phone number and home address. And cell).

CM, my condolences on the loss of your former friend.

yeah..you guys are right..that is just to big a gap to bridge….you think you know someone and then they go and become a fan of a right wing dickhead.what next??!?!

and by “to big” i meant “too big”…its the wine

Ooh! Twilight Zone marathon on Sci-fi.

I am not a fan of Hannity or Rush but I do listen to them religiously. I like to know my enemy. In no way do I agree with anything that comes out of their sewers but I like to scream at my radio. It is more fun when my windows are down in the car. People look at me like I am the unibomber.

“Ok. What’s I miss?”When you hit the TAINT!

Bwahaha

ewww gi …i would have to take a shower after listening to either one of those buffoons. how do you stand it?!?

Yep… Twilight Zone Marathon allll night….:)

CM, I like controversy. I can only tolerate them for about 5 minutes before they say something to vile. However, I like to hear the hillbillies call in and agree with their racism.

Joe, I respect your sanity now. I understand the “know your enemy” thing but damn it’s hard to listen to more than a couple minutes of Rush the Horny Bastard.

CM: I’m coming late to this (I got sidetracked by the Travis D fight a few threads ago), but I wanted to let you all know that if you unfriend someone, they won’t be notified.

Will, I think you were right…if we ignore it maybe it will go away.

What’s up kids? I’m back on my side of the coast, hungover from a long day of traveling, and beginning what should be an excellent champagne hangover tomorrow.New Year’s Resolution #1: Drop some balls.

Oh, and Kansas – you need Matt Osborne. He’s like the lyric genius.

Howdy Kat. Visiting yer neck tomorry for a little mini-vaca. Sightseeing without the peeps and all.

Welcome back, Kat! missed your wit.

Right on, Jane. We should meet up for coffee or something – send me an email if you think you’ll have time.Thanks for the welcome, ceu. And for the pressure of having to be witty. I blame any lack of wittiness this evening on having to walk through O’Hare today. That airport will suck out your soul.New Year’s Resolution #2: Be photographed by Lee Stranahan.

I’m sure Lee wouldn’t mind!

Ouch. how embarrassing. Everyone seems to have lives…

No, Lee doesn’t mind. I haven’t done any new photos in a few years but I’m thinking I should, so….

I thought that I was part of a small minority who is doing nothing tonight…Theo– I was at Lee’s post as well. Can’ t see why it couldn’t be let go by anyone–is it a guy thing?The Minx

New Year’s Resolution #3: Do 100 crunches daily before being photographed by Lee Stranahan.

New Year’s Resolution #4: Be photographed with Kat, Jane, Ceu and Gypsy in any position Lee finds worthy.

Sorry, I was watching Monster’s Balls and they did drop right into Hally Berry’s mouth.Nope, no life over here. I hate all holidays. I am saving myself for January 20th.

well, while we’re on the subject, top five new year’s resolutions?

Seems that you are, Minx

Oh, GI-our-Joe,I am truly hurt by not being included in your photo session. Am now pouting in the corner with teh gimps.The Minx

New Year’s Resolution #5: Be photographed with Theo after November.

Heh, GI, thanks.

My latest one is not to hold anything back. I need to truly share how I feel, some more.hee, hee!The Minx

Checking MyFace photo for clearance…

GI – I don’t find it’s really that helpful to try and ‘pose’ that many people…impossible to choreograph. I just set up some lighting that works, create a comfortable atmosphere and let people do whatever they are going to do…So, I’m saying – just jump in the pile. I’ll figure out something to take a picture of.

Ryan Seacrest reported that the ball for the Times Square drop this year is twice the size of last year’s. What is it with the obsession with big balls? Ick..Which leads me to New Year’s Resolution #5:Never mention Ryan Seacrest in conversation.

1: Remember that Obama is leading for the center-left 75% of this country, rather than the 5% fringe liberals.2: Do at least some photography every day.3: Get over my writer’s block.4: Read every book on my shelf, and re-read the ones I’ve already read, even if they make me cry a lot.5: get gay-married.

Now we’re doing New Year’s resolutions?Here’s mine: I am resolute in never making another New Year’s resolution again. Except…Also.. the budget can be made by the VP, but New year’s resolutions are especially, too, position flexible type Senate duties, when in FACT the farmers of the constitution left great flexibility in making New Year’s resolutions available to Real Americans who live, ya know, here and there acrossed this great land where, too, Joe Six-Pack can get his own $17,000 makeover…also Joe the Plumber likes beer and that, too also is a position flexible and negotiable to the VP.You betcha I’m watching it not snow tonight!

P-cubed – that was the most insanely Palinesque comment ever.

>>New Year’s Resolution #4: Be photographed with Kat, Jane, Ceu and Gypsy in any position Lee finds worthy.Oh, honey…I’m your mother’s age, but it’s a sweet thought. (even though you didn’t friend me)

Access granted.New Year’s Resolution #6: Include Teh Minx in photos prior to and after November to include Theo only after the 18th birthday around the month of november.FBI… I am a good man.

He hasn’t friended me yet either, Chris.New Year’s Resolution #5 (I realized I never did #4): Practice holding my breath for minutes at a time in case I end up on the bottom of the pile.

GI: I don’t believe I’ve been friended by you either. Where are ya?

Kat,You betcha!Lee,”I just set up some lighting that works, create a comfortable atmosphere and let people do whatever they are going to do…’So…you make porn?

Ceu, help me out. I have no idea who to friend. Please give me a clue to who you are and you are in the magic box.

Pooper, Yes Lee makes soft/hard porn. I am actively trying to create a whole new album of GDAB Cescans photos.Theo you are in.

Yay, now I can hack into your computer!…kidding.

Oh joe….I posted on the wall when Carlos asked us who we all are. I’m the old one…

Theo, my computer is protected better than Pres. Elect Obama. No one can get in to my computer or my bedroom.

Kat is apparently not worthy. *sniff*

Teh Joe–Much Better! I will be delighted to be included with such a beautiful and politically astute group (after Nov. for being delighted w/Theo!)Hey Pooped! I’m in Milwaukee (actually a semi-crappy small city to the west of Milwaukee). Now you know why I want to be in NYC!Teh Minx

I think I added you as a friend already. The option to add as friend isn’t available. Ceu.

GI: Lord, I hope Obama’s better protected than your computer. Anyone see that a leather-fetish convention is gonna be in DC the weekend the Obama’s move in? It’s like Jane’s favorite things are colliding!

I make ‘fine art pornography’. IntimateArts.com is my frequently not updated site. It’s linked off LeeStranahan.com, too.

>>New Year’s Resolution #4: Be photographed with Kat, Jane, Ceu and Gypsy in any position Lee finds worthy.Posted by: GItheJOE at December 31, 2008 09:41 PMKat, you were my first. Check your MyFace Wall.

You wrote on the group wall, Joe. And yes, in that picture, I’m the one in red.

Heh, kicking ass on Facebook’s West Wing trivia.

Teh minx,A semi-crappy small town west of Milwaukee? Umm, Oconomowoc ?(now nobody laugh! That really is the name of a town in Wisconsin!) Pewaukee? WEST Allis?

And where the fuck did Jane go? Is she having a life? Was she given permission for that?

Hey Katerino & Janeski!Where are you located? Can I sleep on your couch? This also goes for anyone else who would like to share a couch with or without GI-R-Joe.MinxCan anyone guess that I Hate Wisconsin with a white-hot fury & would be out of here in a second if not for the husband?!!?

We are in North Carolina, Minx. Which isn’t exactly toasty tonight, but better than y’all.

Yikes P-cubed! Ding!Ding!Ding! West Allis is the magic word!Now the duck will drop down with your cash prize from Groucho.Teh Minx

You didn’t, joe. I’ll do it – as long as you’re not going to ignore me. If you ARE going to just tell me now…I can take it.Usually I have Jane round up my friends for me – it’s hard work. (grin)

Arrgh!! Now suffering from the anguish of terminal finger cramp!!Damn you, I-pod Touch, Damn you to hell!!Minx

Teh Minx,I feel sorry for you. I’m here in balmy Two Rivers, WI. It don’t get any better den dis, ‘cept maybe for Arizona

Could be worse, Minx…could be a Zune…

I don’t know, P-cubed…Arizona was 34 when I woke up this morning.

Oh, since Minx mentioned the iPod Touch – I have been working a mobile version of my erotic photography – point your browswer to http://IntimateArts.com/m/Just two galleries of photos up right now but it’s a start…

Ceu, sorry I was confused. I now know who you are and don’t worry you are still in my photo. I loves me a cougar. Grrrr!!!!

LOL!more champagne please.

New Year’s Resolution #6: Get Rachel Maddow to marry me. In the most least-stalkerish way possible.Speaking of my future wife – her New Year’s special is on now!!

Rachel & awards…”Fish in the barrel award” goes to Blago.

Oh, spoke too soon. He’s just a nominee.Along with In What Respect, Charlie? and Putin’s ugly rearing head….

Kat! Kent Jones in a tux!

Dubya deserves the ‘Fish in a Barrel’ award. Couldn’t they make it a three-way tie, though? A ‘menage a tie,’ if you will?

Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll never spew that kind of horse crap again.

yeah, you will. which is why we keep paying you.

“Menage-a-Tie”, Katerino?Heh!! Is that what Teh GI is working on for after November??And Where is Gypsy?? I’m missing her!!Minx

It’s 60 in Phoenix now. So no mare hatin’.

Hmm. I missed on the photo shoot, huh? Oh well. Just dropping in to say happy new year to all! QT

You guys are all drunk…. Happy New Years…. going back to watch more Twilight Zone…

Will gets the “Stating the Obvious” award for the evening. Not quite as prestigious as the “Denial is a River in Egypt” award, but pretty close.

Hey! No life here. Was just, um, cleaning up the basement. Happy New Year kids! Better luck next year!

Happy New Year, East Coasters.

Back at ya, far northern west coasters.

Happy New Year East Coasters! 3 more hours to go for us Cali folks. I’m off to an 80′s sneaker party @ Yerba Buena Gardens. Mos Def is performing! Woo-Hoo!

Well thank fucking god that’s over with!

Happy eastern ball drop everyone!

All I hear outside is a train. It’s NC here! Can I get a gunshot or two?

you all are living in the past.

I sure as hell am, Ceu. The late ’60′s, early ’70′s. I like it here.

I had a couple illegal fireworks here, Jane. We coasters are crazy people. I dragging my tired slightly intoxicated ass to bed. Happy New Years, all! And that will remain valid for hours for all you west-coasters!

Happy New Year to All!!Bedtime for me–Thank You to all of the Cescans, you showed me that caring can be fun. I never saw the sense in reading a political blog until I ran across this one, and I am thankful.Yes We Can, Yes We Did and Yes We’re Going to Keep On Caring.Teh Minx

good lord, i’ve spawned one who doesn’t like champagne…Night, Kat & Minx. Have a happy.

Happy New Year all.Resolution: Do not respond to unreasonable blog posts – even if my intentions are positive. Ignore the trolls and argument baiters.

Boom!! Boom!! That is my Pennsylvania gunshot for Jane.Yes, QT you are in the photo.Happy New Year All. I am so proud to be on the PTT on New Years.

More awards!

Oooh thanks Chris. Thought I missed it.

Yay! I get to be in the photoshoot! Happy New Years everyone. Best wishes to all who haven’t entered 2009 yet.I’ve been up since 3 in the morning yesterday… and I’m off to bed…QT

I’ve been up since last year.

The earlier ones were different. don’t know if that will be replayed – was pretty funny. Even the non-champagne drinker was laughing.

Nite QT.I just had a cheap cup of coffee so I will be up until 2010.

HHAAAPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!! had to give an 09 shoutout to my my blogging bestests! MISS YOU GUYS MORE THAN MY LOST VIRGINITY!!! nonritzy says hi alsoo such as! hahahahahahahn bye

How can one not like champagne?

I believe that was a drive-by shout-out.

Don’t worry Jane that was gypsy’s vagina talking.

he’s 18gypsy’s having fun, eh?

Bars are open in GypsyVaginaland for another four hours.

I tried getting drunk and all I got was tried. Jesus what are they putting in beer these days ambien?

Happy (belated) New Year! I fell asleep right after dinner in 2008 and just woke up in 2009. Now I’m afraid of what might happen if I go back to sleep. Damn, it’s gonna be a long night.I hope you all used the “leap second” of 2008 productively.

It’s not 2009 until the west coast weighs in.

As soon as the polls close here in California, I bet they call this for 2009…

That’s right. We have to wait for the west coast to weigh in before 2009 is official. I feel much better now.

With great appreciation that the midnight position flexible here in Alaska is even later than the West Coast and such as.And also.

I missed the photo shoot? Great. I do, however, want to SEE it.
