New Year, 2008

[Janus Whitefurr]

So yeah, it's 2008 here in Australia. We have our flying cars and jetpacks down here now, seriously. Would I lie to you?

Have a good one out there. Unless you don't.

oddly enough i was considering starting a thread to celebrate it being january- the month of janus, two headed Greek god of the present.

then again i celebrate strange and disturbing holidays

Three cheers for tyranny

[Ryudo Lee]

It's gonna be friggin' cold over here tonight.  So I'll be watching the fireworks from inside my house.  Y'know.  Where it's warm.

[Janus Whitefurr]

janus, two headed Greek god of the present.

Two-faced Roman god of beginnings/endings, doorways/gateways as well.

There is just no way i can think of any of that without your avatar giving me bad ideas

I'm hoping for a "2008 hates you, go back to 2007" News banner for the forum.

I was hoping for something more along the lines of "We're skipping 2008.  Come back in 2009."


Anyone have any New Year's Resolutions to share?  I'm going to save more of my money rather than spend it all this coming year.

I don't make resolutions, because I inevitably end up not keeping them. About the only things I'm putting effort into are my uni marks, and working out on the cross trainer to make my legs incredibly awesome.

Also, Brun: Edited my post because Janus is "two faced" not "two headed".

[Dannysaysnoo]

for 208, I'm having coca cola, crisps and xbox. Awesome.

I'm going to write more and improve the quality of my writing. Not going to bother with more resolutions since that one will be giving me enough headaches already.

I ahve to start my writing in general. Got some good ideas. if only i could be arsed...

[superluser]

I resolved not to make any New Years resolutions.

Luckily, I didn't make this resolution on New Years.

[rabid_fox]

I have several resolutions.

1 - Kick the smoking. I'm actually on a week without smokes, first time in about...12 years, I believe, so that's going well.
2 - Lose at least two stone (28lbs) in weight. Not cause I'm overweight, but just so that people will think that with the smoking stopping and all that I have cancer and will be nicer to me.
3- Go to Australia.

[superluser]

[skim, skim]

I have cancer

...

[rereads]

so that people will think that ... I have cancer and will be nicer to me.

Oh, you...!  You almost had me fooled there, as well.

EST is the only time zone that matters and it is 2007 in EST

[Reese Tora]

EPST is the only time zone that matters and it is 2007 in EPST

fixed... after all, the majority of web servers report time in PST, therefore it must be the most important one.

[Vidar]

Happy new year. It's 2008 here, right now.

[Tapewolf]

Happy New Year...

[Dannysaysnoo]

Hope its a good one, everyone in GMT!

(Every boat in the North Sea is going bananas and honking up a storm!)

[Tapewolf]

Apparently the iPhone doesn't believe in 2008.
Some say that the ARM compiler chain has an optimisation bug which can cause this so I could have a fun time with our ARM-based PDAs and phones when I get back into the office on Wednesday.

[Dannysaysnoo]

Kinda like the Y2K scare... except that your phones will conk out.

[Netrogo]

I always make productive worthwhile resolutions, then I don't end up doing them. So this year I resolve to sit around on my ass doing nothing but eating and playing video games.

I figure either I'll fail that and somehow do something worthwhile, or I'll succeed and be able to say I kept to my resolution

[Angel]

WOOHOO! It's midnight on the Eastern Seaboard!

My resolution was to do my own laundry from now on. Hopefully all my clothes aren't gonna catch fire. Happy New Year!

[Amber Williams]

Happy 2008.

NOW GET OFF MAH LAWN!

[Dannysaysnoo]

Its been 2008 for 5 hours, and you've already broken your resolution, Amber!

[Amber Williams]

What resolution is that?  I haven't shot any of you punk kids with my shotgun yet so it cant be that one...

[Dannysaysnoo]

you have to be friendly to your fans and stop shouting at them when they come to offer their souls to you. You wrote it down.

[Amber Williams]

The day I'm friendly to my fans is the day I finally put them out of their misery by ending the comic.

[The Light]

Hum, I've already made my first cynical remark of 2008 to a friend.  Anyone else feel like trying it out?

[Poofyspikes]

Most of your fans are gluttons for punishment, though, so it looks like they might not appreciate the pure largesse of the action. Friggin ingrates.

Also, it's not 2008 yet in the only place that matters (California), so all y'all can shut it.
