As Dad would say, another year shot in the ass.

Although the way 2016 panned out, more like--

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

What, CdM is Joe Pesci. At least his posts are read in Pesci's voice in my head. Pesci or Lewis Black. It kinda keeps switching.

Another reason never to never turn your back on Seedy.

The fuck you talking about, my corpse has been getting riddled with bullets since 2012.  Fuck, pay attention.  That's why you get hit by cars, you're not fucking paying attention.

2017 already lives up to expectations  :(

QuoteIstanbul nightclub attack 'leaves 35 dead'

At least 35 people have lost their lives in an attack on a nightclub in Istanbul, the city's governor has said.

Among the dead is one police officer, Vasip Sahin stated, adding that it was a terror attack.

At least another 40 were injured in the attack which took place in the Reina nightclub, in the Ortakoy area, at about 01:30 local time (23:30 GMT).

One attacker was involved, the governor said, while CNN Turk reported he was dressed in a Santa Claus costume.

There were reportedly several hundred people in the nightclub at the time, some of whom are believed to have jumped into the Bosphorus to escape.

Istanbul had been on high alert with some 17,000 police officers on duty in the city, following a string of terror attacks in recent months.

Many were carried out by so-called Islamic State (IS) or Kurdish rebels.

Less than a fortnight ago, the Russian ambassador, Andrei Karlov, was shot dead by off-duty Turkish policeman Mevlut Mert Altintas as he gave a speech in the capital Ankara in December.

After the shooting, the killer shouted the murder was in revenge for Russian involvement in the conflict in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

Getting old sucks.  Staying up til 12 is a chore.  Thank hod I'm on the west coast now, midnight in NY is only 9pm here.

Now where's my warm milk?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I'm being optimistic for 2017 until it proves otherwise :)

Happy New Year!

I think of him as sounding either like Robert Mitchum or Angus Scrimm (who, incidentally, was among those who died in 2016).
