I'm not entirely sure why I never posted this picture before, but since I was recently at a New Year's Eve party and recently slurped down some of that heavenly alcoholic elixer known as Troll Semen, it seems like as appropriate a time to do so as any:

This New Year's Eve was the first in 6 years that wasn't Big Gay "Kevin" Weiser's insane two-day enormous party in the middle of Nowhere, IA. It was still a lot of fun, but it feels like the end of an era. It all started back in '99, when the norms were worried about all hell breaking loose as the year 2000 rolled around and everyone's computers exploded. So he threw a huge LAN party, naturally. A bed-and-breakfast farmhouse in the boonies was filled with computers and alcohol. We played videogames all through the night of the 30th and crashed wherever there was room. I woke up around 1:30 in the afternoon and promptly mixed myself a drink, as more people were coming that day for the party-type party, in addition to those already there gaming. Those were the days when I was a master of alcohol pacing, and I kept drinking until around 5 or 6 in the morning. The cumination was of course at midnight, with the outdoor hottub overflowing with people. Kissing somebody at midnight is for wimps, you're supposed to kiss everyone in the room, or more ideally in the hottub. I mentioned just a bit about these parties to somebody recently, without even really getting into the steamy details, and was rewarded with a response that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside:

Even when I was single and I drank, I never went to a party like THAT!
