Hey since im pretty sure at this point that im going to forget to say it i love most of you spags (if in doubt ask me. Chances ill say why did you doubt it? Arguments be damned.) so happy new year. And i mean that in the most literal sense. I wish you all an awesome 2012. And if we belive in incans (@lmno) then fuck it might as well have fun anyway. Slainte.
I'm in Oregon, so we still have about 5 1/2 hours yet... Happy New Year! :lulz:
Cabal is in the works.
Im a discordian. Villagers best friends boyfriend is a non pd discordian. We were talking. They are likely to be villagers roommates. Lets hope that this year works out.
I somehow managed to get tonight off, and I am drunk as fuck.
This is the culprit
Belfast bomber
Equal parts jameson, kahlua, baileys, and stoli vanilla (or any vanilla vodka). Strained over ice, and downed as the best shot ever, which it is.
Happy fucking new year. Favoritest holiday.
In my adult life, I have not had one single enjoyable new years eve. This year, I figured I'd stay home alone, and hopeful avoid a disappointing evening (Y'know if your expectations are low enough, there's less chance you'll be let down). Well, sure enough, the bull-shit followed me home.
Fuck a motherfucking new year right in it's stupid fucking face.
Oh, and to all the Mayan Calendartards, I fucking told you so. Something waaay worse than Mayan apocalypse is coming in 2012: Me, fucking your shit indefinitely.
I'm all dressed up in black, on my way to FBF's annual NYE dinner party. Yay!
Quarter of. Having a blast. Happy new year!
Half-past. Happy New Year, y'all. We stayed in, watched seven minutes of a live stream of Times Square, then sipped grape fizzy water. GF went to bed because she opens in the morning. BF is tooling around the internet. I'm going to get another Pepsi, crochet, and watch something on Netflix.
We party it up here, yo.

Happy New Year's, you lovely spags! Here's to finding where that mythical wall went and to the bringing of things to it. And to another 365 days of doin' it wrong.
At this time of night, here in the wee hours of the morning, with this many (I'm holding my hands really wide apart here) girly drinks under my belt and a complete lack of Open Bar to put shit in, I give you a song which expresses my TRUE feelings about PD... and all of you. <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvGpCMqZ358
Happy 2012 :lulz:

I want to know what sadistic bastard invented stilettos and how he convinced us women to think it was a good idea to wear them. :x
I had to back out of a party that I was psyched for, when it came to my attention that there would be no overnight accommodations (wtf?).
Instead, I played Risk with the family and we completely ignored the passage of midnight. Some loony neighbor set off fireworks earlier in the night and sent the dogs into a tizzy. Woo!

Happy new year! Wish you all some excellent twelve months! <3
This year there was an awesome party at a friend's house - we were right next to the central plaza, from where the fireworks were shot, so at midnight we got on the roof, sang and screamed and shouted and watched as the fireworks rained upon us. I believe that champagne tastes best when the air is saturated with the smell of gunpowder.
And suddenly it was 2012 out of fucking nowhere.
Happy final year you loveable spagholes!
W. Iron,
Feeling ridiculously good today.
I don't give a shit that it's almost 24 hours since actual New Years (I was at a damned awesome rave instead of lurking laptop-side), so happy New Years, everyone! Hope you brought it in in style (or, if you're ECH, in someone else's pants). :)

Yep. Instead of waking up with panties hanging off the ceiling fan and goldfish in the bathtub, I woke up at 9. I crocheted some more, drank a Pepsi, and went to work. Where everyone assumed I had a hang-over because I was busy trying to figure out how to make my bullion stitches not look like a cat chewed on them.
Apparently my thinking face is the same as my constipation face and my hung-over face. O.o
If 2012 continues as this day has gone for me so far, I will be UNSTOPPABLE.

I celebrated the New Year THE RIGHT WAY, by walking down to Swan Island Industrial Park with a friend and getting a McRib (we had never had one before and HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THIS ABOMINATION?) and then walking the beach.

That sounds simultaneously pleasant and awful.
There is something frightful about that which is the McRib...However, the combination of MSG and pickles makes it oddly tasty to my fucked up palette.

Fun fact about the McRib: the longer it sits under the heat lamp, the better it gets. McDonalds workers will claim one a couple of hours before their lunch break and stash it out of the way. Other employees know not to touch it.
Or, at least, that's what I heard from a friend that worked at McDonalds circa 1990. The McRib may have evolved since then.
It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever put in my mouth.

They seem to have evolved a bit... from what I can tell looking on the internet, the shape is now more rectangular (for some reason writing that made me shudder) than it used to be.
Another rain of dead birds! It's getting to be a New Year's tradition. http://abcnews.go.com/US/dead-blackbirds-fall-sky-beebe-arkansas-years-eve/story?id=15269793#.TwFLiUqp1I4
QuoteBiologists said last year's kill was caused by birds who were spooked off their roosts by the loud explosions and began flying into homes, cars, telephone poles and each other.
Around this same time last year, thousands of dead fish also turned up in the Arkansas River, prompting conspiracies about the end of the world, poison and environmental catastrophe.
Taylor and Duke both agree, though: it's probably just the fireworks in Beebe.
And who says ABC News don't have a sense of humour?
Also, we don't know that they actually rained down after dying. The cause of death may be their raining down. Think about it.
The other explanation, of course, is that birds are traditionally seen as enemies of snakes.
Do we know any snake deities associated with 2012? I believe we do (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feathered_Serpent_%28deity%29). HE COMES!

Cain's logic is undeniable.

Speaking from first hand experience of the discarded end product, /you should avoid it at all costs/. It is NOT good for your body. Just saying.

Yes they have. Not for our betterment, either. They're not exactly /sentient/, but they definitely have some level of awareness. As they breed and become even more inedible, eventually they'll be poisonous. On that day, I forsee a great exodus of pre-cambrian style flatworm slithering out the doors and dumpsters of Micky D's everywhere. I don't think they'll see vengeance, just ecological residence. Probably the bottoms of the collecting ponds for large parkinglots and effluent channels for water treatment plants. In any case, you'll know they're there because when a McRib gets wet you can smell it from hundreds of feet away.

I never said I eat them regularly (I think I had one last year when they brought them back for shits and giggles) . In fact, since I've cut beef and some pork out of my diet, I can't have one. They do, however, remind me of Christmas. That and Monopoly, which they don't do at Christmastime anymore.
I seem to recall hearing somewhere that they were removed from the menu at one point because they didn't meet FDA standards for human consumption. And then they lobbied to have the FDA's standards changed. Note that I cannot find any indication that this story is actually true, and indeed, it seems like a rather unlikely scenario, I would not, in fact be surprised if this was indeed the case, because I always thought that they were barely edible. :lulz:
^ reiterating that I cannot find any evidence for this story and am merely repeating hearsay.
Despite what everyone says about McDonald's or other fast food chains, they do really have to use real meat* in their food. It is real chicken, beef, and pork, and it's also surprisingly regulated. That doesn't make the industry any less gross.
*-Real as defined it came from some edible part of an animal, but not necessarily Grade A.

Oh, I never doubted that. Low-grade meat combined with various chemicals, however...

See a resemblance?
After observing the McRib for an extended period, I've come to the conclusion that they contain amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and electrolytes of all kinds necessary to sustain life. In addition, and despite their stationary nature, I've noticed a curious congealing effect that occurs after heating and cooling. The lipid particles seem to migrate to the surface and form a protective phospholipid layering, just as was suspected to occur with the first cells. This suggests that after a sustained period of sunlight, the circulating biochemicals within the McRib will self organize and form replicating units,
id est, life.

From what I've read this year, in fact, the cause of death seems to be impact with the ground.
