My daughter from Uptown will probably stay over, because it’s safer out here in the ‘burbs, and she’ll stay up until her brother gets home from work at Walmart at 11:30. Excitement!

Sometimes I’m very involved in a book and don’t realize how late it is.

"...As if that isn’t humiliating enough, people actually wear diapers so they don’t have to go to the bathroom..."

ROTFLMAO! I am laughing, not because people who go there might have to wear adult diapers (that sounds like an eminently sensible thing, even if actually going there isn't) but because the Leftists who love and promote this kind of thing either don't think it is important to put out enough port-o-potties to handle the crowd, or think something in human nature is malleable enough to make people not have the desire to drink and pee.

I feel pretty certain that at New Years Eve in Times Square, they take all necessary steps to remove dumpsters behind which people would, in the past, pee in desperation!

I went to the 4th Of July celebration at the Boston Hatch Shell some years back, and although they did set up a lot of port-o-potties, it still wasn't enough. I went to one long row, and there were long, long, lines of squirming women waiting to get into them. I wondered for a second why it was primarily women, until I saw guys pealing off from their female companions as they approached, only to disappear behind the long row of toilets.

I walked back, and there were large numbers of men peeing on the BACKS of the port-o-potties! This is fine. As the saying goes, when you are a man, the world is your toilet! So, I walked over and began to empty my bladder. I was about halfway done, and a big spotlight suddenly came on and began playing across the long rows of guys who had their backs to the spotlight with their hands in front of them, intently doing their business!

Apparently, someone complained, and the cops, who had a car on the other side of a channel of water and could not approach to shoo away us offending men, did the only thing they could and tried to embarrass us by shining a light on us!

Of course, we knew full well there was nothing the cops could do, since there was a twenty or thirty yard wide channel of water separating the fuzz from us.

Well.

There if there is one thing that a man with a measurable blood alcohol content and full bladder is fairly immune from, that is embarrassment! I don't think, in that long row of guys peeing on the backs of the port-o-potties, there there was anything more than a derisive chuckle to interrupt the process, not even a look back over the shoulder!

Not to mention their hypocrisy is in the stratosphere. They claim they are trying to protect lives with the vaccines, the masks and social distancing, yet they have no issue with defunding the cops and getting rid of bail. Oh yes, that CERTAINLY improves the health of people. Every day I read about someone murdered by some punk out on the street with no bail.

So you need an ID to watch a ball drop, but don’t need one to vote?

I’m glad I’m 78 years old.

No grazing allowed.

Some animal noises allowed, though, thru the mask. Limited to baaaa and moooo.

...and go to the lavatory at will.

I worked in Manhattan for decades. It was actually very enjoyable. But there was an article that made the rounds when I was there, titled "The Top 10 New York Things New Yorkers Never Do."

Going to Times Square for NYE was #1.

I'm not young enough to stay up late enough to watch this anymore, but it is already getting lame and tedious.

Now if some eastern time zone city like Knoxville, Tennessee or Beckley, West Virginia would erect a giant cow who'd lift her tail and drop a plop at midnight with good country music to usher in the new year, I'd make it a point to stay awake and watch.

I may or may not have been at the little event at the Capitol January 6. They may or may not have been a single large pine tree on the grounds.

A friend may or may not have watered the tree of liberty

I don’t believe in an ID card. A card can be easily lost or misplaced

A far better solution is to imbed a chip in the back of the kid’s neck

Will these people be quarantined in Times Square when they break out like the people on the fully vaxed cruise ships? Should people bring their own tents and supplies for the 10 day quarantine? Will they become street people after trained to live in the street for 10 days> Curious minds want to know.

My regular group of New Year’s Eve friends typically watch the ball drop in New York City, however I noticed that ABC are having their New Year’s Eve party in Miami!?!?

Even woke libtard network-types realize that if they truly want to have a fun and free night on television that it’s best to do so from Florida, NOT New York.

I will NEVER visit NY again - EVER! Libtard cesspool.

My wife and I watched several Christmas concerts on PBS. We started watching one in which everyone, orchestra, choir soloists, conductor, et al were masked. We both decided to skip it at that point and deleted it from our DVR. I think it was Trinity College. Looked ridiculous.

Well, China has its social credit score to decide who is fit to participate in the State’s largesse, so why wouldn’t the commies here in the US do the same.

Times Square has become a stockyard.
