Ask Slashdot: What Is Your New Years Eve Tradition?
skade88 writes "What does the Slashdot community do to celebrate New Years Eve? Does your city do something cool and unique to celebrate? Do you celebrate with fireworks in front of your house, or in your favorite MMO (WoW, Minecraft, etc.)?"
Dear Slashdort: Today is a great day for all the readers of Slashdort, because we will make linquini and boil a Linurx in a stew of Windors. Hooraye! COMMUNISM NOW!
UNITE with the Campaign for a Free Internet because today, our future begins with tomorrow!
Get uncontrollably drunk and yell at fireworks.
My internetting is no good.
Each new year I take a vow of celibacy as my father before me and his father before him. It's a long standing family tradition.
...to scare away the evil spirits. "Haven't seen any this year, have you?" he would always ask. "Must have worked," he opined further. This story was told to a Mexican cabbie who in all seriousness replied that my father was being silly, and that all you had to do was throw water out the back door to scare evil spirits away for the year. Who knew?
FYI, my father was an electronics engineer whose tongue was often so far in his cheek that it might have protruded from the vulgar aperture.
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
I spend most of the evening looking over a very scared dog.
It would be highly appreciated if those of you using fireworks waited until midnight.
I commit all my outstanding code. Then I wait until the next year to fix the build.
