Happy New Year! It’s very noisy around here - even though we’re supposedly under a fireworks “ban.” ---

Happy (yet another) new year to everyone! I think there’s only a few more left, and then you can go to bed. 😉 ---

It’s actually 2:04 am here, so I’m late, but I’m toasted so I figure I get a pass just this once. So belated happy New Year to all and sundry. ---

Yeah it’s 2:20 a.m. here. I _would_ have posted at precisely midnight, but due to my wild life of reckless depravity and countless abominations, I’m surprised I made it home _this_ early. 😃 And it’s nice to be wished a Happy New Year from a fellow wolf. (By the way, I’m nerdy enough to know that the Chatham Islands are one of the _few_ places (if not the ONLY place) that has their standard time 45 minutes ahead of everyone (or 15 minutes behind depending upon your global perspective). ---

Happy New Year from Seattle! I just watched the Space Needle and its oddly erotic firework ejaculation show from my bedroom window. Time to draw the blinds and get my kiss. Good night all, happy new year! ---

Happy, Happy, from the S.F. Bay Area!! A lot of assplosions goin’ off outside. Got my kiss already. Not goin’ to bed anytime soon, as we’re still on Singapore time until we find the cure for jet-lag (which will be monday morning, of course). Love to you all!!! ---

Happy New Year from Calgary (So what if I’m an hour and change off). I had fun tonight. Tomorrow at work, not so much, but that’s of no concern until I get up. Which will be much too soon. Crap. For now though, may the New Year be better than all of the ones before, and the best to you and all of yours! ---

I’ve spent a full day in 2006 now, and it’s been pretty cool. Spent the day at Piha, letting the surf beat away my hangover, and now I’m off to bed. Happy New Year everyone! ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > Naya saal mubarak ho tumko! > > (Or, Happy New Year in Hindi!) [Hijack] Does “_mubarak_” mean something like “blessed” in Hindi? Because that’s the same word as in Arabic (and very close to Hebrew). Interesting 🙂 [/hijack] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-new-year-sdmb/337841.md?page=1)
