    Yes, I think you pretty much covered it. Beer and football, and waking up the next day a mile from my home on the side of the road.

    Suppose to be messy weather in the Northeast, good excuse to stay in and watch football, drink too 🏈🍻

    Did you ever wake up in your underwear and not know you or your car are...…..well it's not fun especially with a hangover!

    I try not to do much on New Years. Travelling out West with a close friend in 1976. We were at Disneyland on December 31st> @BillJones said:

    How is the Blue? I used to drink black but that was many years ago.

    I didn't know there was a blue. I was aware of Black and Red and maybe green. This was will I was in the Army in the mid 60's.

    Used to be only black and red, blue/green/gold came out in the mid-90s.

    I will go to bed between 9 & 10 P.M. If I wake up in the morning I will assume we have a new year.

    Better than Black, but at $175 a bottle from Costco, not something I drink no more than three or four times a year. Black is my more frequent a Scotch. Gold is very good, Green is interesting, but hard to find. If it has not changed Platinum is a waste of money. I would rather drink Red, and that is a put down, although Red is better than some popular Scott brands I won’t name.

    I celebrated New Years in Times Square in 1959 and will not do that again. What a mob! Now I am in bed every night by 8 PM right after I watch Hannity. Another year gone and not many more to go for me.

    Yeah...the Times Square schtick hits at 10 pm local time.

    Idiots will be outside my window with fireworks until 1 though.

    Caught his show three times. One night it was 108 at sundown and he seemed to strain a bit. Nita was with him all three shows as I recall.

    Great entertainer for anyone that gets a chance to see him.

    Thank you sir! Last night I went with the all black including black satin tie, French cuffs with diamond cuff links and black London Fog rain coat. Trying to bring back the 40’s look with the Fedora. I’m waiting for Humphrey Bogart to give me the thumbs up! 👍

    Took my lovely wife to see one of her favorite performers, Rick Springfield, at a local casino.

    Quite an enjoyable show. I was never a big fan, I was very pleasantly surprised, he put on a great show!

    Yes picture from October but in my post above I went with all black. Black silk tie with black shirt with French cuffs and diamond cuff links. We forgot to take new pictures.

    and for anyone else that doesn't want to see billboard sized pics every time someone posts, just go to profile and select "strip signature pictures".

    the fact that someone would knowingly include something so obnoxiously large, then continue to do so on "porpoise" is beyond me. maybe they don't realize it takes forever for pages to load for everyone else simply because of the 15 billboards/page trying download for a post that says "go pats". the real icing is that it gets to show up and slow up the previous pages the other 20k+ posts are on, too. oh joy. maybe they are compensating for something else after that dolphins loss. either way, i could care less how long someone's been here or how many posts they have. neither are a pass for being selfish, annoying and literally causing a drag for everybody else, does it?

    but, yeah. let's get the circle jerk going @DIMEMAN. let's cheer this on! sounds real mature and fun.....for those that matter, of course! 😂🤫

    if you two enjoy being those guys, then go right ahead.

    luckily, problem solved on my end thanks to some other folks that feel the pain but don't matter either.
