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?

    I just hope to GOD that there isn't a Trading Spaces marathon, or I may have to get a divorce.

    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.

    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!

    Weed and shrooms, Futurama 1st and 2nd season in a row, some firecrackers at midnight and extreme hardcore powerchilling (tm) .

    Happy new year! (Who makes the FP in 2002?)

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

    So let me get this straight: Taco is going to spend New Years sitting on his ass, doing nothing. How is this different from what Taco does during the rest of the year?

    Agreed. The thought of slashdotters naked is frightening.

    And what's disturbing, is that there's a good chance many of the posters are naked.

  12. Sex in the City by weave · · Score: 4, Funny
    The wife and I are going to be watching the "Sex in the City" marathon, since we've missed a lot of episodes over the past year.

    Hey, not my first choice, but you have to think of the wife at times like this. And who knows, it may be followed by an episode of "Sex in the Living Room" if i'm lucky...

    Television marathons? On new year's? Mwaha, I laugh at the thought when I could be out celebrating with friends, going to great parties filled with beautiful women...

    Ok, I'll be watching Transformers. Leave me alone!
