Right there in the heart of downtown Manhattan, thousands of people have gathered in Fake News Square to watch the ball drop.
Boring. Why does anybody care about this anymore? #NewYearsEve2017
Why anybody would be out there in that weather, penned up like cattle in a slaughterhouse, escapes me.
It’s so boring you went to the trouble to post about it?
Oh well, Happy New Year!
Agree it’s boring as ‘H’, so I’m in the den on the ‘puter instead of watching people freeze, and be stupid.
omg...I’ve been to New York so many “times” (no pun intended) and I just learned that that’s what “Times” in Times Square meant...hah! that little product of our society.
LoL I love how Trump wished the Fake News Media a Happy New Year in his tweet today.
I don’t care if they celebrate the NYE in Times Square.
More power to them. As far as I’m concerned they are celebrating the second year of a very victorious President Trump.
I’m watching The Honeymooners.
Partying looks like fun. Babysitting here.
Perry Mason on DVD.
Wouldn’t it actually be the Failing New York Times square.
I knew those who did and you HAD to stay within there for up to eight hours.
In Plymouth WISCONSIN they dropped an 80 lb cheese wedge at 10:00 pm local time.
I realize that.
Sydney was the best, Hong Kong second and Dubai third. It was the biggest but looked more like an artillery barrage.
Why did anybody care about it back in the fifties, when I was just a kid? I remember having a teenage neighbor, ( whom we knew ) for a babysitter, and she was devoted to tuning in the ball drop, which was done with a rope in those days. On our TV, it amounted to little more than a bright blob against a dark background. I think this was 1957.
I can’t say it meant anything to me, but her enthusiasm for this rite was contagious.
I do not equate it with the New York Times .... and no one calls it the New York Times Square ... only “Times Square”. They names it over 100 years ago in 1904.
I watched THE LONG VOYAGE HOME and am now watching THE NAKED PREY.
Good old adventure movies for me! Hot weather movies. I may watch Lawrence of Arabia next.
I will save my snow movies for the hot summer.
Switched over to Mystery Science Theater. LOL
“Why does anybody care about this anymore?”
When my kids were tiny, it was very important... it marked midnight so they would go to bed!!!! till one of my kids got taught about time zones in the Texas school, rofl :)
because they’re not poopy-heads on NYE?
