Happy New Year!

As we enter the thirteenth year of the New Millennium, once again we ask the Eternal Question: Where are the jetpacks?
Woooo… I hope to hell this year is much better than last year… I hated 2011.
Way hey! James Joyce ouevre is now public domain. What’s a corpse but rotten meat?
@Nabisco: He should have done Finnegans Mouse and copyrighted it into eternity.
Happy New Year, from the Maui airport! May we all have a healthy and fulfilling year.

@ManchuCandidate: Well, Helloooo, There! (How did I miss this?) Working on passport and truck stop locations now. Who knows? I might earn some beer money along the way. I’m almost down to making it the old fashioned way, dude, and urrrrrn it. (Sort of kidding.)
@mellbell: The First Millennium was 999 years. It was a miracle.
