Unfortunately, due to family obligations of a more responsible nature, I will not be burning down my inner house tonight in celebration of the coming new year, but I am guessing most everyone else out there in the world will be partying like it’s 1999. Only it’s not. Remember all that “Y2K” hullabaloo? What a hoot that was. An anti-climactic hoot, yes, but I can still only imagine what a rockin’ time it was for movie scripts, computer sales, and members of the Montana Militia. But don’t worry. Doomsday will be back in style come 2011 and it will surely be the apocalyptic party theme du jour as the Mayan calendar closes up shop on humanity. In the meantime, we’ve got three long years of laughs ahead of us, so live it the fuck up! Accordingly, here’s a playlist consisting of some of our favorite wasted occasions throughout the years (or at least the ones caught on film).

Maybe I should start a segment called “One Bottle of Wine, and One Children’s Book,” and then I’ll just sit there and get drunk while reading a children’s book to the camera. There’s a lot of children’s literature out there, so the segment would have a long life. (more…)
