Is it just me, or is NYE one of the most overrated "holidays" ever?

What are you celebrating? Another day went buy, and you write "2007" instead of "2006" for the next 365.25 days. That's it.

Listen, I love drinking and I love hanging out with friends and no one can say different without lying. Especially the drinking part. But I don't need to spend cash to go out to Boston or New York and party with millions of other morons to celebrate something that means NOTHING. I'd just rather sit at home and play the Wii.

Holla if you hear me!

At least NYE is a drinking excuse. Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday named after saint whose name was also used for a massacre. It's just another friggin' shopping day and excuse for you to buy chocolate and jewelry because you're socially obligated.

You drink a lot on Valentine's Day, and people accuse you of being depressed. You don't buy something for your significant other, you will get slapped and be accused of not caring. You buy something typical, and you may still get the prvious response. Aren't birthdays and Christmas enough? It's in February, too, two months after just getting presents. Christ. At least put it in the summer.

It's a win or lose holiday. You can't draw. You either score with your lady/man friend or you get slapped/accused of being depressed.

That and I swear PDA levels boom on that day also, making going about in public an unpleasurable experience. Save it for that motel room, buddy.

What the fuck happens on Labor Day?? Nothing. We just get a day off.

For us High School students though, It's the unofficial end of summer because in a week's time, we'd be back in school.

I dunno, I think we need a few semi-arbitrary holidays, just as an excuse to relax. New Years is less arbitrary than many. Keep in mind you're not obligated to celebrate, but you still get a day off work/school. Leave Times Square to the crazies, and just kick back.

That depends on the relationship. Wink

However, I do agree that holidays get too much hype. I find that if I just scale it back a bit, I'm a lot happier. So if you'd rather hang out at home and break out the Wii, gopher it! Very Happy

I went when I was 12 with cousins from brooklyn. You couldn't pay me a million bucks to do it again.

what? Valentines? I like buying shit for chicks. I have no cock. NONE! Lost it ages ago. Where'd it go? I don't know. If you see it, it's small, and not mine. Becuase my cock isn't small, see?

Anyway. Holidays? There's lots of 'em. I just use 'em as an excuse to hopefully score with a person of the female variety. Unless it's like National Remember People who Died day, 'cause no one wants to celebrate dead people by fuckin' each other. Unless you have some weird fetishes. Then by all means, knock yourself out.

What the fuck did I just say?

I found it. Down on Second Avenue toward St. Mark's Place, where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street, I saw your penis lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven. Some guy was selling it. I had to buy it off him. He wanted 22 bucks, but I talked him down to 17.

I knew I shouldn't have tattooed my name on that thing.

For $17, I would think that it would sing or dance. It would at least serve as a good gag prop for college parties.

It does headstands. Seriously, that's why I had to chop it off. Mindin' my own business, then BAM, my cock is on it's head and I'm on top of it, and appear to be hovering like ~~three~~ twelve inches off the ground.

Syd! You found my broken toaster too? No wonder you were the one called to create this site. Now, um, it's a bit of a walk from my place to St. Mark's.... Would you mind Fed-Exing it for me?

Posted: Dec 27 2006 06:09 pm

Yeah... I just watch Ghostbusters II on New Years eve. Been doing that for about ten years now.

EDIT: I voted Labor's Day. What the heck is it? What are we supposed to do? At least on Arbor Day we plant a tree.

Posted: Dec 27 2006 06:19 pm

Hey Syd! When you found the penis and toaster, you didn't happen to find my vintage 1984 [Playgirl ~ Plumbers, Electricians, and Circus Clowns] edition?

Just checking...

I think Boxing Day is pretty lame, but that's probably because I don't celebrate it.

My grandfather is native american, so I'm not exactly fond of columbus day. You have heard all of the rants before, so I'll spare you.

I vote he be replaced with William Dampier.

Posted: Dec 27 2006 08:17 pm

Is it just me, or does it seem that nobody got the reference that Syd was making?

I loved King Missle. What ever happened to them?

Also, Columbus day sucks and should not be celebrated. He didn't find shit. If he was the first person to discover America, then where the fuck did all the natives come from? Also, if you want to point out that he was the first "Explorer" to discover America, you would be wrong again. It was Leif Erikson by a few hundred years. He set up colonies in Canada long before Columbus was born.

Not to mention the fact that we celebrate him for getting lucky. He wasn't even LOOKING for a new world. He was trying to get to India, and he missed the mark by quite a bit, wouldn't you say?

Yeah, but pilgrims, dude.

Pilgrims.

Nonsense. There's over 1.6 million Indians (as in, from India) living in America. That's like the second biggest Indian population outside of India itself. He probably docked, walked into a Dunkin Donuts, saw the Indian cashier, and made an honest mistake.

This Is A Joke

Now now, I think it's pretty insensitive to say that about Indian people and Dunkin Donuts. There is no degree of certainty that what you described is what actually happened.

Now, if he had taken a cab from the boat to Dunks, then I can see what you're saying...

Not a Dunkin Donuts, but definitely a 7-11.
