So, do people really gather and sing “Auld Lang Syne” on New Year’s Eve? I never have. Always been a quiet evening at home. Well, unless the Army had me away from home on New Year’s, which only happened to me a few times. Still, I’ve never done the whole gather ’round and sing a song with almost-English words.
Anything in particular on your mind? Something you want to share with the group? It’s Sunday Night Open Thread.

I think there’s adult language in there, but I’m not positive, and I don’t have time to watch it over again.
Anyway, I still think tats are strictly for sailors, bikers, and prisoners. I don’t get why anyone else would do it.
Full disclosure: I was a sailor, and I have no tattoos. Mostly because I couldn’t think of anything that was cool enough to give free advertising to for the rest of my like. Heck, I rarely even wore T-shirts with writing on them.
This happened before the GOP tax bill passed, but I kept forgetting to post it. I just remembered, so:
“Hi Harvey, I’m ellen r w/ StopTrumpTaxCuts WI. The Senate recently voted to take away our healthcare to give tax breaks to the super rich. Can you call Rep. Sensenbrenner real quick and tell him to vote no? (I’ll send you a script)
I replied:
Hi, Ellen.
I’m super rich and I already told Jim to vote yes.
Sorry about your healthcare, but that’s really your responsibility to pay for, not mine, and I’m glad it won’t be coming out of my pocket anymore.
The year’s ending. I don’t care. It’s Saturday night. That means we’re smack dab in the middle of the weekend.
So, what’s on your mind? Got something you’d like to share? Anything? It’s Saturday Night Open Thread.

Now, what’s on your mind? It’s Friday Night Open Thread, and you choose the topics for discussion.
Who wants to start?
The environmental group Sea Shepherd says fishermen fired 25 shots at one of its night-vision drones in Mexico’s Gulf of California, bringing it down.
Okay, THAT should get them a free pass over Trump’s wall.
[Monty Python with Cats – A Representative Parody] (Viewer #105,413)
I think the cats actually make this scene better. It was just there for the dialogue anyway, so this adds some visual interest.
Love the feather.
