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.
Jupiter will be very visible tonight with the naked eye. After dark, look just east of the moon for an unusually bright star. Doesnt matter what part of the world you're in, best viewing would be midnight +/- 1 hour in your local time zone.

...means that every day is sci-fi marathon day!
...I'm planning a marathon viewing of the classic "Dark Screen."
Leave the TV off for a day! How's that for a resolution? (And no, don't replace it with 24 hours of Slashdot.)
Start a journal! Read a book! Volunteer! Pray for peace! Do something that you can feel good about. Trust me, a full day of Gilligan's Island won't do it.
Yahoo has good TV listings. Amazing what they will marathon on New Years' Day:
ESPN: World's Strongest Man competition
TLC: Seeing is Believing
Comedy Channel: Whose Line Is It, Anyway?
A&E: Magnum PI until 8 p.m., then Law & Order until 4 a.m.
Animal Channel: The Crocodile Hunter (starting at 5 p.m.)
Sci-Fi Channel: The Twilight Zone
History Channel: History's Lost & Found
Since my ex has our son this New Years', and my other of unknown significance left town yesterday, I'll be at home on my a** looking for a good TV marathon.
Alias would be a good one (since I missed most of the episodes), and so would Trading Spaces. I've already had Buffy DVD marathon, so no luck there. Failing these, I'll probably be continuing on the kitchen work that I've been procrastinating on -- touching-up, sanding, and priming drywall, then painting. Whoop-de-doo!
Croc Hunter Drinking Game
Supplies:
- A lot of Smirnoff Ice
- Some friends ( inflatable ones if naught else )
- Crocodile Hunter Marathon on AP ( check local listings )
Rules (Everyone drinks when):- Someone gets bit.
- The phrase "Croikey!" is uttered.
- ( add your own! )
This should have you good and fuzzy by the time Midnight rolls around. But don't worry, you've got all day tomorrow to sleep it off!Happy New Year to all!

Segmentation Fault ( core dumped )
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.
