I remember as a kid really wanting to see what happens when the ball drops on New Years Eve to welcome in the New Year. I figured it was something awesome and breath-taking. Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed once was finally allowed to stay up to see it. I have no desire to travel to NYC to freeze my buns off for hours, watch a slew of terrible bands, celebrities I don’t care about, drunken idiots on the streets, all for the finale of a ball that slowly and boringly drops as the clock strikes midnight.

I’m with you, there should be some big finale after the ball drops. I like the idea of candy, or filling it with gift cards, etc. Have it drop to a certain height, bust open and shower the crowds below with accessories.
I always thought just the thought of being there would be cool, but now it’s got to be a big year like 2020, cause to just welcome in another teenage year just doesn’t seem that big of a deal.
I remember on New Years Eve 2009 they (Zorphbert and Fred) almost got a really good up close look at the New Years ball. At least Fred wasn’t fixated on the kittens inside at that time or they could have really caused some commotion welcoming in 2010. 🙂
sheesh, great memory there, Todd. I wondered if anyone would remember their run-in with the ball up-close and personal. I don’t think they ever realized what it was looming over them.

Hey! I lost you guys when I changed my computer and default browzer! Glad I found you again!
I vote for the candy blast! Sorta like a New Year’s piñata!
Me too! I thought they’d at least drop the ball at Times Square. I mean literally at Times Square; as in “all right all you people down there, we need you to clear the plaza; this sucker is big and round and will have reached terminal velocity by the time it hits the floor!”
