I may be an alcoholic, but I don't drink whiskey, because that night ruined it for me forever. We are eternal... All this pain is an illusion |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77670272 United States 12/26/2019 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was intentionally trying to stay home & not go out partying. Needed to decompress & Y2K had too much potential. My mortal enemy came to my house to try & drag me out for some festivities, & we began drinking beer. We got really shitfaced & found an audio file of the jivetalking track from the movie Airplane. My "enemy" (don't ask) ran it through an echo filter on my computer & kept tinkering with effects. We kept drinking & he kept fiddling with this silly soundtrack blasting it over my surround sound speakers. The drunker we got the funnier it sounded. Laughed so much it hurt. Quoting: XeroGravity We stumbled out & drunk-drove to some mixers at various bars flirting with pretty gals & the rest of the night was one big drunken blur. Didn't score with a pretty lady but I was too drunk to care. Luckily I made it through without any trouble (my big mouth & ruthless sense of humor used to get me into barfights). The laughter from the Airplane thing though is the most memorable part - my stomach muscles were sore the next day from a solid hour of laughing so hard I cried. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77311748 United States 12/26/2019 08:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Partying like an animal with my soon to be husband and brother in law in good ol blessed Texas. (stuck in Commiefornia now) We're still married 20 years later and he's still the love of my life. Only difference is I have 3 kids, and I weigh much less, and I'm about to have a doctorate :) I will say this. If I'd known what I was in for that year, I would have shit myself. The last two decades have been rough. 9/11, the Tsunami, Katrina, the anthrax attacks leading to constant surveillance, the Patriot Act, the 2008 crash, and on and on... And we were all worried about 2000. Nope, the past two decades have been a perfect shit storm of doom, and I'm still here. So, this 2020, here's to the survivors! |

Moon&Stars
User ID: 29184782 United States 12/26/2019 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Playing a gig at a cool place that was usually packed on both levels. Hardly anyone showed up, afraid the power was going to go out, and any number of other scary scenarios. We brought acoustics, and batteries for the keyboards and mics, ready for anything. Played the whole night for the handful who showed up. Then, the owner showed up and stiffed us for half the pay because she didn't sell enough alcohol. I told her we'd sue. She laughed. Next week, I filed a lawsuit, represented us in court, and we won. She sold the club two weeks later, and stiffed us anyway. Oh well, no one ever stiffed us for pay again. So, there's that. Happy New Year! Moonstar |

That new conspiracy lasted a couple of years. Anyone else remember it? Quoting: Truth 1818 Later John Titor was credited. hhmmmmm |
