pop flyin' New Year

[D-vid]

Hey, me too. Well, without a doggy. But at least we are not alone here on AZ, right? RIGHT?

[Chloemew]

My only company was my brother. Just as well I get along with him. :B

[Cori]

people stand outside in the freezing cold for hours listening to sub-par bands while waiting for a disco ball to fall off a building

Sounds... interesting. xD

We slide a ball

down a stick

and everyone gets drunk and cheers

That's it.

Basically. In Times Square in New York, there's a big sphere set up--it looks kind of like a Super Smash Bros party ball. Everyone gathers in Times Square and the 'popular' bands of the year--which in this case probably means Justin Bieber, ugh--perform songs and dances, and there are prize drawings, and then everyone counts down the final ten seconds of the new year as the party ball starts dropping down, and when the hour rolls over everyone screams and cheers and the party ball spews confetti everywhere.

And then the inmates clean up all the trash and confetti, I'm assuming.

Then everyone gets piss drunk and has a hangover.

Yus, I decided to check out a few videos of it on Youtube.

The firework displays and things are certainly a lot more elaborate than ours. ._.

[Komodoensis]

Because America is all about explosions.
Britian is too classy to have explosions of that magnitude.

gonna just copypaste this

[9:41:58 PM] Dewey Defeats Truman: if things stay the way they are right now (which i'd bet they will) i'll be bringing in the new year with a thunderstorm i don't like while barely talking about videogames on /v/ and listening to retsupuraes
[9:42:01 PM] Dewey Defeats Truman: living the dream
[9:42:54 PM] Dewey Defeats Truman: well either that or watching the ball drop on TV, which I can not even pretend to care about
[9:43:17 PM] Dewey Defeats Truman: then again i don't honestly think of new years eve to be much of a holiday, except for the fact it's my dad's birthday

[Exeres]

Two hours for Central. Staying up until midnight is no longer a feat for me, but I'll do it anyway.

[Operation Awesome]

ONE MORE HOUR.



I'm glad I actually get to see the ball drop, unlike when I was a kid.

[D-vid]

Yep one more hour for you. But now it's time for Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Another part of Brazil and Venezuela.

[Cottarsby]

Four more hours! Trends always hit late here on the west coast.

[Exeres]

I was on Warcraft this morning, and people from Australia were already saying pop flyin' New Year to each other. Trade channel was clogged more than usual.

Four more hours! Trends always hit late here on the west coast.

But on the West Coast, Adult Swim starts at 8!
