If you cross your legs like that this is what can happen!

My mom told me that when I drove my parent's 1973 Impala (they bought it from my dead great uncle...lol) that I drove with my left leg tucked under. Well yeah...that giant couch front seat and no clutch? :lol:

Bad link, Merc. :(

Ha! We had that car. Chevy 350 with an absolute mush box transmission. It slept 5 comfortably if Dad stayed awake.

*moves left leg forward*

Yeah, this was the car I would drive into the pizza place parking lot where we hung out as teens, and we'd sit about 4 of us on the hood. I thought it was a 450 engine, but I have no idea what those numbers mean. I thought one of the hood-poppin' muscle car guys had told me that.

My dad didn't worry about me as much in that car: it'd take a tank to bring that baby down.

Any suggestions for cheesy movies?

Does anyone else have the tradition of beating pots and pans to make noise to scare away the evil spirits at midnight?

We did that as kids! I'll have to do that tonight if I go to my friends' house. It'll freak them out.

We used to 'first foot' our neighbours at midnight. And they'd do the same with us. We also used to put something on the inside lintel of the front door. A piece of coal and something else (can't recall what. Might have been grains of rice or somesuch).

Was planning to stay in.
Also had prepared for unexpected first-footers (first visitors after midnight).
Went first-footing ourselves to neighbours, got home around 3.30am.
Beautiful beautiful moonlit night.

dawn's rosy fingers are approaching . . . I'm dancing in the New Year!

We had a "rollickin" good time. We sat on top of the building and drank "near beer" while smoking cigars. We watched the fireworks show from the ODA compound. They fired parachute flares and star clusters. The IA (Iraqi Army) were shooting tracers. Pretty nice show!

Hi Sarge! Neat show, I'm sure!

I went to my friends' house. There was one guy who was obnoxiously drunk, and it kind of put a damper on, but we persevered. Only 3 of us made it until midnight, and I brought all kinds of party favors so their house was a mess! Confetti crap everywhere. My friend is kind of a neat freak, so when I got up this morning (they have almost a separate apartment in the lower part of their house, and the bed is the bed I gave them once because I was moving, so I was so comfortable) she had it all cleaned up already. I need that kind of OCD.

Good times with good friends.

I usually burn new years wishes...Too busy in New Orleans.....I did get to tour the city in a bus today!

I haven't even drank yet.....bleeergh.....

Capnhowdy and I had a rockin, blasting, good time just the two of us at our little 'Love shack' We sang and danced and of course drank champagne and whiskey. Capnhowdy cooked a wonderful supper and we finally sat still long enough to eat late in the evening but it was great! We took pictures but Capnhowdy will have to talked into putting them on the net.

lol - don't bet on that!
