**oldscratch** , we don’t like your kind here anyway. **Rasa** , I’m sticking with oldscratch on this one–no comment. ---

How’s this for cosmically unfair, Nen? oldscratch and I are most likely spending New Year’s Eve with Nymysys! Nya nya nya! 😉 And reserving comment was a Wise Move™. I like oldscratch’s kind here! ---

I don’t know where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing or with whom, but you can be damn sure I’ll have one of those magnums of Budweiser from those cool-ass gift packs I keep seeing around. Maybe two, if I can find them cheap enough. ---

I usually don’t party hard at all, but I will give very special notice to this upcoming new years. Why? Simple. Because it marks the first day that I _don’t have to hear all that goddam whining about 2001 being the “real” new years_. Because I’m sick of it. Because I was sick of it in 1999 and I _refuse to listen_ anymore. Seriously just, just leave me alone already, dammit. I have enough problems in my life. Jeezus… :mad: ---

Well, I was in Vegas for the last New Year’s, which you would have figured to have been huge, but wasn’t. Oh sure it was fun, and there were a lot of people wandering the streets. But it wasn’t a bacchanal, it was just a bunch of people trying to get drunk and spend in a dionysian fury. Too bad it could never have come about, seeing as the main casinos all shut their doors except to paying guests. I’d like to party harder, but I’ll be spending New Year’s with my family, which I like better than partying anyway, as I never get to see them. (Partying I can do anytime.) What I hope for, and what I hope for every year, is the spectacular end. Hell, how could New Year’s get any better than the world ending? Especially during such an auspicious year? Sadly, I don’t think the sum of it all is going to let us off that easy. ---

Won’t party, can’t party. I’ll be in my bomb shelter fearing the dreaded 2.001k bug. 😉 ~Anthony, Just a Random Scrub. ---

Last New Years I got pissed off at people for saying “Happy millenium” . . . and most of them were on TV. And I watched stuff on TV and had my computer there so we could make sure it worked after Y2K happened and such. Rather boring. This year, I hopefully will be able to talk to my girlfriend then, assuming I don’t accompany my family to our cabin. And assuming she is able to get online. Maybe I will even call her . . . who knows? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-you-party-as-hard-this-new-years/44125.md?page=1)
