New Years Marathons

So for those of us who don't go "Out" for holidays and prefer sitting on our asses, the extended TV theme Marathon is something of a tradition. Besides obvious choices like watching all the Star Wars movies, what sorts of marathon tv endurance tests are people planning? Buffy, Angel, Twin Peaks, Iron Chef? What are you gonna do?

    Let's just say some vodka, orange juice, Team Fortress Classic, and rcon rights on some of my favorite servers may make for some interesting gameplay come 11:30 or so...

    Oh, and just to save the trolls some time:

    - Yes, I am aware that makes me the biggest loser of all time.
    - No, I don't really care, either.

  6. DRINKING MARATHON by rlowe69 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I may not be going "out", but I'm still going to drink for 6 or 7 hours and get completely trashed with my friends. Now this may seem immature and silly, but it's sometimes good to get that out of your system once in a while and what better night than New Years Eve!

    Seriously though, some of us are just coming of horrendous exam schedules and need a good winding down before the next semester starts.

    ... and yes, I DO need alcohol for this. That's what it's in existence for. Well, winding down and getting nerds laid. LOL. Ok, some nerds. On occasion. Ok, rare occasion. Who? Oh, you know, my friend Joey ... Joe Joe .... yeah, Joey Joe Joe. He lives in Niagra Falls. ;)

    HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY DRUNKEN NEW YEARS EVE!

      Coconuts are best for watching The Holy Grail. For the Flying Circus series, I'd suggest Spam, Spam, Spam and eggs.

    Drinking?
    no, no, no.

    Tonight is the time for the dank load to burn a jade light all night, evaporating the impure thoughts like a green wave of universal mojo.

    We will partake, my friends, on the alter of herbage.

    Heaven sent, evermore.

    We will look upon the Northern Lights with awe and premonition. We will smack 'em like they want it. The girls get down, the boys burn fast, and America, sweet America, drips with the highest nectar of the highest gods, there, high above the mortal plane.

    And lastly, we will all be funny and get laid.

    And you others go for alcohol. Tsk.
