I was just wondering if there are some desperate (a disputable term, though) people who'll hang around here on PF on New Year's Eve? We could organize a party, I thought I read something about that in a post some time ago. :cool:

So, do we start a thread where everyone posts a "HAPPY NEW YEAR" message when the clock strikes midnight in their time zone? :biggrin:

:biggrin: The posting, of cooourse. Btw, I wouldn't like to know what 'drunk posts' would look like. Although, it would be an interesting experiment. :smile:
 
They'd probably look like one of those deleted posts. :biggrin:
 
Just for the heck of it, I changed the display on my computer clock to read Unix time. :P

Someone here has a signature quoting a drunk post, goes something like "I'm too drunk to see why that proposal wouldn't work..."

:smile: Actually, I think there were a few in last year's New Year's Eve party thread (we were passing around quite a bit of Nyquil and Near Beer for everyone who got sick from visiting relatives over Christmas).

I don't know if I'll be around or not. The friend I was supposed to go out with has a bad sinus infection, and I'm still getting over another bug, so it might be another Nyquil and Near Beer party for us.

Oh, he's paying for it right now. :mad: :devil:

I made him feel so guilty Christmas day when he didn't even send me a FREE e-card that he went out in the freezing rain and took photographs to make me a card.

Here's what he made me. :approve:

Ok, so I threatened him if I didn't have a card in my inbox the next time I checked e-mail. So he almost caught pneumonia photographing places. Not my fault he couldn't find an e-card he wanted to send.
