Morning people.
Spending the last day of the year replacing the starter in my Jeep.What have I always believed? That, on the whole, and by and large, if a person lived properly, not according to what any priests said, but according to what seemed decent and honest inside, then it would, at the end, more or less, turn out ok.

Are Jeep Drivers known as "Jeepers"?

I spent almost two years near that town during my time in the Navy, in a little base in Garons, never heard of that. Originally Posted by Captain Clarkie

Not really, there's a show on later, but it starts at 3pm, so I'll have a few early drinks and then duck out. I will share a bottle of this when I get back http://cellarandkitchen.adnams.co.uk...r-10-abv-750ml Originally Posted by Puma

CONAN Volume 7 - CIMMERIA - Disappointing. How do you take something as fast paced as Conan and turn it into a bunch of panels with talking heads?

I am a major downer on New Years Eve. I hate going out, and I know a few tragic tales of people getting killed by drunk drivers. Originally Posted by Puma

Thanks! I'd tip a glass of beer at ya but it's only 10:30 here. Originally Posted by Puma

I've never been a fan of New Year's parties, too much forced fun and too many drunks on the road so i will again stay at home and listen to the gunfire at midnight. Originally Posted by Winslow

My girlfriend and I are just staying in. We're gonna have whoopie pies (not a euphemism) and watch Fringe and Game of Thrones.

Nathan is supposed to have some friends coming over. Apparently we're eccentric enough as parents that we're fun and not intimidating.
I've never been big on the forced gaiety of New Years Eve.

Heh, a quick Google search and browsing a wikipedia article suggests there is controversy over the origin. The Amish as well as New Englanders claim it. Originally Posted by Vibranium
