Things you don’t want to hear on New Year’s Eve

1. “Three… two… one… Let’s just be friends, OK?”
2. “License and registration, please”
3. “Hope you don’t mind, but the store ran out of champagne, so we’re toasting the New Year with club soda”
4. _klunk_ (the sound of Dick Clark, whom I think is already dead and they’re just wheeling him out anyway, keeling over dead on live TV 10 seconds before the ball hits 0)
5. “Seven-out” (I’ll be at a casino, part of the time at a Crap Table)
6. _tap tap_ “Hey. Angel of Death here. Just thought I’d give you a friendly heads up that you can conserve time by not bothering with the resolutions this year. kthxbye.”
7. “Who says you can’t mix beer, peppermint schnapps, screwdrivers and champagne? BLEARRRGH. Oh, sorry about your shoes, man…”
8. “All 13 of your picks in amarone’s SDMB death pool suddenly dropped dead earlier today.”
9. “Honey, we need to talk…”
10. “OMIGOD! The ball just came down on your head.”
