Top 10 Things You Really Don’t Want to Hear at Midnight on New Year’s Eve

10. “Oh, don’t be like that. Come give your grandma a kiss, pumpkin!”

9. “This is Dick Clark, wishing you a…urk!” (Thud)

8. “5…4…3…2…3…4… What the--? Did that #$%@ing McFly &#@% up the space/time continuum again?!”

7. “Attention, peoples of Earth! We are your new masters! The Galactic Confederacy of Xenu has returned! Had you only listened to Scientology, you could have avoided this fate—”

6. “Sir, have you had anything to drink this evening? I ask because you’re driving without any pants on. And your car seems to be parked INSIDE the 7-11.”

5. “I can’t find the Auld Lang Syne CD. I’m just going to put on Best of Foghat instead, okay?”

4. “Oh, shoot, here comes my dad! I didn’t mention I was sixteen?”

3. “My first new year’s resolution is to start telling the truth. So, look, a few minutes ago, when I said this was just a cold sore…?”

2. “The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire! No, put your hands down, I’m serious, the &%#@ing roof’s on fire!!”

1. “It’s official! All major news networks have agreed that, in 2008, anything Paris Hilton does or says will STILL be the top story of the day, no matter what else is happening in the world, how many people are starving, how many wars are raging, or if wildfires, hurricanes or tsunamis kill or displace countless thousands! Happy New Year!”

    Mike, the only thing I hear at midnight on New Year's Eve is the snoring in my head. Being in the retail business, January 1st is a work-day so that means 10pm bed for me tonight. I just hope the idiots in my neighborhood do not shoot of fireworks again this year. One downside of living in the South. Yeeehah - I think not. Dudes, July 4th is seven months away. Go to bed! ;)

    Should auld acquaintence be forgot... ?

    Hell, I don't know. A lifelong friend passed away yesterday and I'm going to be travelling on New Years to get to the memorial service. Sigh.

    Heck, Fr. Mannis baptized me (and all the other Ryans) after he met my dad in the hospital and struck up a friendship, based on my Dad;s broken leg and having gone to Notre Dame.

    He's been part of the family ever since, and I am going to miss him.

    On the other hand, he's been really really sick for a few years now and finally he'es at peace.

    So, I guess that's all right in the end.

    Rest in Peace, Fr. Jim Mannis, CSC.
