Hit #1...For this year I would like to pick a well known amateur golfer. I would even let him use his own Mayback automobile and he would be off early as I plan to go to bed at 10 PM.

So as not to inconvenience him too much I would let him send his Jet to pick me up and he could serve me breakfast on his private beach...

Rusty would probably talk your ear off and Tony would probably try to scare you since he's a known practical joker!

"So as not to inconvenience him too much I would let him send his Jet to pick me up and he could serve me breakfast on his private beach..."

That sounds like the ultimate designated driver. Are you taking your first wife with you?

#2...Are you taking your first wife with you?

I'll have to think about that...

Stewart Closes USAC's First 50 Years With Ft. Wayne Win
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – He thought he wasn’t going to run Friday’s 60-lap “Rumble in Ft. Wayne.” He didn’t hot lap, instead leaving National Sprint Car Series champion Levi Jones to run the No. 2 Munchin/ Voltswagen sponsored by Our Gang Poker.


But all of that diminished when Tony Stewart stepped into his mount, swept to his second consecutive fast qualifying time, started eighth and won the final race of USAC’s 50 years as an auto racing sanctioning body.



Stewart blitzed to third after only one lap, then took the lead on Lap 7 of the event and led to the checkered flag, which he proudly held after climbing the front straightaway fence and pumping fists on the flag stand in front of a sea of orange cheering for the home state hero.

Happy New Year to everyone!

[don-o]

Happy New Year all y'all.

Question for the gang. What are you supposed to eat on the day for health and wealth? In East Tennessee it's black eyed peas and hog jowl, which, frankly, I do not eat. Maybe that is my problem.

Gal, could you ping this to the list?

It looks like Crash finished 14th on the first stage.

Happy New Year, everyone!

[SouthTexas]

I was raised with black eyed peas on New Years Day, mix and match to suit yourself.

[steveegg]

I'm not choosy; I'll take any NASCAR driver as the designated driver (yes, even Crash and Rubberhead).

[Jackknife]

Have a safe and fun New Year's Eve !!!! I will be celebrating with my two older sisters and bro-in-laws in the N.C. mountains. Steaks and drinks, and champagne at midnight !!!! I'll be seeing y'all next year !!!!!

[GRRRRR]

And a Happy New Year Shout OUT to ALL! Mrs. GRRRRR and I will be hunkered down here, together...Chinese Food and Champagne...an old tradition from when we were poor. Early to bed, dodging the midnight gun-fire from the rowdy neighbors! <<>>

[steveegg]

Midnight gunfire? Is that Little Baghdad or Little Tijuana down there?

[steveegg]

And a Happy New Year to you and yours. May 2006 be prosperous.

[NYTexan]

Ya'll have a great time!

[glock rocks]

Black eyed peas in chicken stock with smoked hog shank, onion, garlic and chiles, with a healthy side of corn bread, fried okra, and sweet potato pie.

Yum!

That's what we ALWAYS have on new years day.

Maybe the jowls were your problem :o)

Happy New Year to all y'all!!
