Happy New Years. Since I'm the scion of a bunch of Welsh, and to a lesser extent Scottish and Scotch Irish protestants, who moved to east Texas, the best I can do is this:

We (my friends in Austin) used to run arm in arm, hurling ourselves across the living room, listening to this music on holidays, rivers of whiskey flowing. Good times for sure.

Cait from the Pogues was an unbelievably hot chick back in the day, sigh.

Happy new year everyone! Hope you have all made some peak oil conscious new years resolutions.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cbxer55', 'I') suspect this will be one of the very few times we go out to eat in 09. We have gift cards for three other joints, so will use them eventually, since they are already paid for. Other than that we will eat in.

Happy New Year everyone!

Don't forget to eat your black-eyed peas!

News Years Day & Black Eyed Peas

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n the southern United States, people traditionally prepare a meal of collard greens and black-eyed peas for a year of good luck. A dime is often placed beneath the plate as a part of the tradition.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Andrew Heller makes his annual absurd predictions for 2009; One of these is bound to happen some day

...skip...

Barack Obama is sworn in as president, then immediately resigns, saying, "Do you know how bad things are? And do you know who everybody's gonna blame when it's not all fixed in a year? Me. Do I look stupid to you?"

Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to be sworn in as president the next morning, but is found dead from a teeth whitener overdose.

By rule of succession, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi becomes president, causing Rush Limbaugh's head to literally explode inside the EIB network studios, causing janitors to say, "Eyew, I'm not cleaning that up."

Seriously guys, what did you expect to find there? Fallen shelves, rotting bodies of salesmen scattered around the store?
