What Are You Doing New Year's Eve ?

[Father Luke]

Outside my hotel window, Santa Cruz's Pacific Ave is winding down from
something called: "Last Night".

I don't know about y'all, but watching teenagers puking in flower vases
on the streets, and then getting arrested, gets old after a few times.


I'll be cuddling with my baby. I have the entire six seasons of the Sopranos.
It's 9:00 we are through two episodes. Neither of us have ever watched this.

I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist.

Casablanca is a masterpiece.

Lucky you! I'm a Sopranos fan. It's one of the best TV series in later years (together with Deadwood), I think. What do you think of it? Do you like it?

 

[jordan]

my plans: talking to rubyred on skype all night. with beers.

 

[chronic]

About to take a couple of codeine (for my back), a double shot of Essence of Spud (for my front) and a couple of hits of some kinda potent green shit (for my top).

Up early tomorrow to take the kids to the mountains and the snow.

So, happy 2008 to one and all. Let's hope it's a damn sight better than 2007.

 

[jordan]

Agree with you about Deadwood - Best of Show.
Sopranos is in the top three right next to Deadwood.

Had a glitch and watched 1,2,3,11,12,13,4...

yeah. you read that right. - funny.

Any bid for the third show of the top three?

 

[Father Luke]

I hate to be this way, but seriously? Who needs television
when this shit is right outside your window:

1) WHAT WERE YOU DOING AT MIDNIGHT ?
2) HOW TIPSY ARE YOU NOW ?

Left the loop with three regulars. Uneventful. An hour later the loonies were starting to migrate toward pure unhappiness. One guy, who told me he'd tried to break up with his girl friend (happy new year!), who was on the bus with him at that moment, was trying to apologize to me and the few people on the bus for an outburst of what he would have said to the transit cops if they'd found the bottle his soon-to-be-ex-girl friend ditched for him, thus saving his ass. Transit cops love it when people give them an excuse to be hairy knuckled morons.

They got off. Another seriously inebriated lout got on a couple stops later wishing everyone a happy new year, shifting from seat to seat. He got off as well with no noses being disjointed. (Happy new year passengers get to that point much quicker than, say, Monday evening passengers, except when Monday evening passengers are drunk. After all, it's Monday, let's celebrate with a drunk, a fuck and a fight.)

All that in less than ten minutes. Glad it ended soon after that. There are zeros, even as I type, being transported out of the downtown shit hole to the suburban shit hole. A game of checkers if you will, moving zeros from nowhere to nowhere. And I'm glad I'm not there to witness it. Been there, seen that.

But, alas, no big assed broad dropping her pants to moon me like one did last Friday night. She was wearing a dark blue thong....and I've only had one Heineken.

As stated before, I chose to stay in last night. No imbibing for me, so my only impairment was/is from cold medicine. At midnight, I was trying to calm and re-assure my cat that there was no harm from the loud fireworks booming throughout the neighborhood. Then I broke out some salami and cheese, which we both enjoyed. He is now 15 years old, and I don't know how many NYE's he has left, but this was a good one. We both dozed off as the little b&w TV glowed with scenes of celebration from around the world. And this morning there is about 3 inches of snow on the ground. Happy New Year.

 

[hank solo]

I'm not really a New Year person, but even so I'd like to wish a Happy New Year to all Forum readers and posters.

 

[Ponder]

Happy New Year everybody.

 

[Bukfan]

I wish everybody on the board a Happy New Year!

You certainly got a valid point there! It looks even crazier than Moe's Bar in The Simpsons...:D

 

[Father Luke]

crazier than Moe's Bar in The Simpsons

That reminds me:

Somebody laid the entire eighteen seasons of The Simpsons on me.
Never seen them either.

It's gonn'a be a fun year.

 

[Bukfan]

All eigtheen seasons? You lucky son of of a gun! Incredible that you have'nt seen any of the episodes before. Where have you been? Living in a cave meditating? You really have something to look forward to! They're hilarious...

 

[number6horse]

Father Luke - just get the hell out of here. OK ?
I would advise you to take the nearest exit and run as fast as you can immediately.
Now.

NOW!

Because you are in for modern American satire of the funniest order (I didn't say highest, neccesarily)... but Matt Groening - the former underground newspaper cartoonist has two great blessings :

Skepticism

Faith

Does this sound contradictory ?
Just watch the episodes, Father ! You will be converted in no time......

Ha ! ;)

 

[Father Luke]

All eigtheen seasons? You lucky son of of a gun!

Homeless, and without a television. Yeah. I'm looking forward to it.

Father Luke ... you are in for modern American satire of the funniest order

Thanks.

One of the writers for the Simpsons was one of the band members from This Is Spinaltap but I can't think of his name just now :confused:

harry shearer

 

[number6horse]

Harry Shearer also provides the voices for Mr. Skinner, Kent Brockman, Mr. Burns, Dr. Hibbert, and Ned Flanders among others.

 

[mjp]

The Simpsons is miraculous if only because after all these years they continue to poke mercilessly at every sacred American cow they can find. I can't imagine a comedy with live actors getting away with some of the anti-government, anti-family, anti-religious lines that I've heard on the Simpsons. I saw a few minutes of a Friends episode last night and they couldn't even say the word "circumcised." So that cartoon may indeed be our finest example of cultural satire.

Those first couple seasons are spotty though. But they hit their stride a few seasons in, and it has been consistently funny ever since.

 

[Father Luke]

Harry Shearer kicks serious balls.
This auddahbe great.

 

[hank solo]

I love The Simpsons. But.
What went wrong with the movie?
:mad:

 

[ROC]

Oh really?
I was going to see it this Tuesday.
Bad idea?

 

[hank solo]

Just disappointing really. Quality animation, but not a great script. IMHO.

Lucky you! I'm a Sopranos fan. It's one of the best TV series in later years (together with Deadwood), I think. What do you think of it? Do you like it?

I just bought the entire collection. 28 dvd's? Never watched a single episode.

 

[Bukfan]

Start watching it! It's really great! I've answered you in your Mafia thread...
