I’ve got nothing for you guys this week. I’m too tired from the frivolity and traveling (by plane, train, and automobile. And a few ferry rides, too) of the last nine days. But I did take note of some memorable quotes from the New Year’s party I attend every year with friends.
Every
year my father and I visit some old friends dating back to his college days.
They have children of their own, roughly my age. Throw in a few more family
friends and it becomes this big thing with multiple generations hanging out for
New Year’s Eve/Day. Lots of food, lots of video games and/or board games, and
lots of making fun of New Year’s Eve telecasts.
A
surprising number of these comments came from completely sober people. I hope
you enjoy!
“I’m
the hero you deserve, but not the hero you need.”
“My
name’s Bane! Or is it Sean Connery? I really can’t tell.”
Person
A: “Judi Dench was the Bond girl of the last movie.”
Person
B: (shudders) “I don’t want to think of it that way.”
“I
never liked Tweety Bird. He was so arrogant. Sitting up there on his perch in
his cage.”
“If
he can be Flo Rida, why can’t I be Cali Fornia?”
“Dick
Clark’s dead. How can it still be Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve?”
Person
A: “So what’s your New Year’s resolution?”
Person
B: “To successfully complete a New Year’s resolution.”
(12:05
a.m.)
Person
A: “Hilary Clinton reportedly has a blood clot between her skull and her
brain.”
Person
B: “Well…Happy New Year then.”
Person
C: “I like that it’s five minutes into the New Year and you’re surfing the
Internet. Way to bring down the party.”
Person
B: “Too soon.”
Person
A: “There’s Fergie! I called it! It’s officially the New Year!”
Person B: “It’s official! Happy New Year!”
Person B: “It’s official! Happy New Year!”
(Many
high fives ensue)
“I
could do what Pitbull does ... Pitbull and Flo Rida went to the same dancing
school it looks like.”
Person
A: “He looks like Muammar Gaddafi!”
Person
B: “Maybe if Gaddafi and James Brown had a baby.”
Person
C: “And he stole Captain Crunch’s outfit.”
(A
little later)
Person
A: “I don’t like this. First the hat came off, now the jacket. I hope nothing
else comes off.”
“You
know it’s been a party when there’s champagne popper confetti hanging from the
chandelier.”
“We’re going to do things the American way. We’re only going to eat American food. Like French onion dip.”
“We’re going to do things the American way. We’re only going to eat American food. Like French onion dip.”
“All
he does is fist pump and pelvic thrusts. I could do that, too.”
(Notices
football player named Clowney) “That’s a clown name, bro.”
brought a chuckle or two--thanks for sharing!
