[55 Fargo]

Hey is there going to be a New Years Eve party on here for those of us that are not going to any New Years Eve hootenany's.

I know for us, as we have small kids at home, and the weather will be down to -14 tonight, staying home will be where it's

[Young Ed]

I'm going down to a friends house with Carmon for a night of games WII and snacking! May mix in a drink or two even

[Plymouthy Adams]

[daddyo23]

Might be working part of the night. After that, I'll just go home and watch the 3 Stooges on AMC.

I have always thought New Year's Eve was overrated. To me, it falls into the category of Valentine's Day, Father's Day, and all the rest of the minor league holidays. I'm usually in bed and sawing wood by ten. People do like to drink and the cops are very attentive on New Year's which is one of the main reasons I stay off the road. And I'm allergic to crowds. Happy &$#@!@#$ New Year.

I think we all should head over to Coatney's, and sample some Tennessee water that flows through there. Tony C

[michael.warshaw]

[Plymouthy Adams]

[Dennis Hemingway]

I'll be checking the inside of my eyelids for leaks. or maybe I'll watch Speed TV until midnight, that's when TimeWarner Cable say they are going to cut them off. Then I'll call Direct TV to see about signing up with them.

Technically speaking, next year (2010) is the end of the decade just as 2000 was the last year of the millenium. 2001 was officially the start of the third millenium. Only when 2000 was over had there been two thousand years in the AD dates which completes two millenia. Don't mean to be picky but maybe some members will now have another bit of trivia for their amusement, just like with blue moon.

I went a round with the local newspaper here when they were proclaiming Jan 1, 2000 as the start of the new Millenium, and it took several letters with supporting documents from myself before they finally admitted they had it wrong...and then their excuse was they were going with that date anyway because National Geographic, and a lot of other people were, and they printed that excuse in thier own paper. As you point out, a decade STILL takes ten complete years. Joel

Was there a documented year zero in 01BC, 0, 1AD? anddowe go 1 through 0 or 0thorugh 9, and who is incharge of this mess. All I really care about is later this year I can start collecting Social Security. Always wanted a government job.

[BobT-47P15]

Max and I will be in this very same corner again tonight at a local sports

bar/restaurant called Sportsman's Park. We played there for 2007/2008

doings.

We won't be doing any drinking, just our playing. The club is offering free

taxi rides home for folks who need it, plus has a limo service available as

well. (That's me on the left.)

Happy New Year to all.
