Don't forget the spatula.

Yay! A party!

*wheels out the the FCP K-Machine*


*Tries to think of something to sing for Orange's just rung-in 2009...

*asks German husband what New Years tradition is Deutchland*

*Finds out it is not a song but this...*





It is indeed an ongoing -- 45 year -- tradition..


Enjoy!


EDIT TO ADD: Okay, I started watching this after I posted and... this is just.. tragic. WTF?! I am not sure what this says about German humor -- oxymoron, I know -- honestly, I feel like I am going insane trying to watch it.

I'm off to read the article now... to try to get some perspective as to exactly how this came to pass... and then perhaps file for a divorce...
j/k

I was hoping to...

The black-and-white British slapstick sketch, totally unknown in the English-speaking world, has become the highest-rated TV show in German history, and has spawned fan clubs and a cult following of viewers who stage parties to recreate the sketch at home.

happy new year twisi

your husband is geman?

yeah that is THE new year tradition in germany

same procedure a every year james

i dunno what it says about german humor twisi
but it is better than the crap they show now on tv as kind of german humor
that.s why i love monty pythons so much!


don.t be too scared about it!
when it started in the 60s it was kind of feeling international for the germans and being broadcasted after that every year you get used to it like you get used to firework and champagne.
meanwhile they broadcast it on 30 tv stations and you can nearly watch it all new year.s eve long.
i didn.t even watched it today


now memory and s-dog i want to know ALL about goats, spatulas, funnels and why it should be forgotten and why s-dog.s wife doesn.t want to see the men of the fcp anymore.

i completely understand why we girls are out since nobody can compete with us *coughing*



edit:

do you know what.s strange?
looking out of the window at 1:45 am new year.s night and seeing a red blinking light flying across your window!
straight forward, blinking in the middle and red all around,
i thought it was a rocket of the firework but it didn.t exploded, it just flew across the sky
couldn.t be an airplane since there is a ban on nightflights.
very strange

good night FCP

wish you all a very happy new year!

Classical relativity combined with meta physics I like that, it makes me feel as though I am time travelling

Oh my god, it is 2009 now

Why did 2008 have to end so soon, why couldnt have time wave zero been in 2008.

One question, is the time of our servers synchronised with the extra one second proposed?

And so the clock reads 2009?

Horror.

Time is accelerating!

Time is not accelerating, it goes on in a constant speed, only our relativistic view of time is accelerating.

The clocks have been lying to us since the 30's, man. Same thing happened at London Zoo back in '54, when they replaced all the animals and even the plants and trees with actors.

reply to post by Cadbury


If the clocks have been lying since 1930, what happened before that.

Edit: yahoo, I have reached 10000 points, in the new year.

reply to post by peacejet


Is that why you talk to us?
For the points?



Edit: I'd expect that from Cad but you pj?
Very disappointing.

More often than not they told the truth.

reply to post by schrodingers dog


No, I was happy, that I reached 10000 points. And I was just making fun.

I'm just playin' wicha pj.

Congrats on the 10 grand.

10,000, that's so adorable.

reply to post by schrodingers dog


So, how many hours to go for new year, in your region.

[edit on 31/12/08 by peacejet]

reply to post by peacejet


two and a half hours to go here, and SDog's in the same time zone

edit:

five and a half for MemoryShock, TWISI, and anyone else on the West Coast of U.S.

[edit on 12/31/08 by americandingbat]

Just about 3 A.M here. It doesn't feel like a new year.
