Many adult sex toy manufacturers have shown interest in procuring assets of Wakanda’s unique mineral Vibranium, so that they could market “Vibraniators.” Their selling point would have been the potentially infinite longevity of the product, and would have used “Wakanda” as a skin tone. Initial development plans determined the price per unit of Vibraniators would have cost several million dollars each, which would at best attract a truly niche clientele. None of Wakanda’s tribal leaders were conducive to the idea, so the project went limp. ---

Another fresh sex toy out on the market is the new Hasbro Buttsnorkle, which is basically a gas mask with a tube running out of it, and then down, and then up your exit area, making the perfect gift for new year’s eve celebrations, christenings, oil changes, Rodeo Night, dance dance revolution. ---

According to calendar scholars, New Year’s Eve is not the last night of the old year. That was the previous night. This inconsistency needs to change either by moving the day or moving the celebration, but the scholars are not in agreement on which method to use. Their discussion always turns bitter. ---

It is said that on New Year’s Eve, at the stroke of twelve, ventriloquist dummies gain the power of free speech and movement for the hour. Which is why Jeff Dunham always double-checks the locks on his “little people’s” cases before heading to a celebration. The one time he didn’t Walter put rat poison in his sugar jar, Bubba drank all the beer and Peanut tied a string to the front door with the other end tied around the trigger of a shotgun. Fortunately for Jeff, Achmed (who had left by the back door) came in the front door first, and then tried to shake off the gunshot blast by having coffee with lots of sugar and cream. Jose Jalapeno just laughed and laughed. ---
