Paul just had to be first! LOL

With his private jet, he could celebrate New Years in every time zone around the world.

I would!

Happy New Year...New Year...New Year...New Year....!!!

:cheers:
 
Happy New Year fans! I fully expect a Sly drunken thread after midnight.
 
Is anyone else a little worried about PA's skin color? It almost looks like PA's sister, Jody Allen, is doing a Weekend at Bernie's thing with his corpse across the New Years time zones.

Not sure if Paul drinks or not but he looks a little rocked in that pic. Not to mention glowing like a light saber.
 
Damian Lillard had the #1 clutch shot of the year on nba.com
 
Maybe Paul Allen went to a costume party for New Years, and went as Papa Smurf
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :lol:

Does anyone else eat 12 grapes at midnight? It's something my family has always done but I'm not sure if this is a thing or just a family thing.

The Twelve Grapes (Sp. Las doce uvas de la suerte, "The twelve grapes of luck") is a Spanish tradition that dates back from at least 1895[1] but became established in 1909. In December of that year, some alicantese vine growers popularized this custom to better sell huge amounts of grapes from an excellent harvest.

The tradition consists of eating a grape with each bell strike at midnight of December 31. According to the tradition, that leads to a year of prosperity.[2] In some areas, it is believed that the tradition wards away witches and general evil.[2][3]

The twelve grapes are linked to the Puerta del Sol tower clock, where this tradition started and from where the change of year is always broadcast.

This tradition was adopted also by places with a broad cultural relation with Spain such as the Dominican Republic and other Latin American countries, as well as Hispanic communities in the United States. Also the Philippines has adopted the tradition; they were part of the Spanish Empire.

This tradition is part of the Spanish Christmas festivities.
