On December 26, two days after Nigerian Omar Abdulmutallab allegedly attempted to use underwear packed with plastic explosives to blow up the Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight he was on, and as it became clear internally that the Administration had suffered perhaps its most embarrassing failure in the area of national security, senior Obama White House aides, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and new White House counsel Robert Bauer, ordered staff to begin researching similar breakdowns -- if any -- from the Bush Administration.

4 Happy New Year to all the Morons and Moronettes...and if you must drink, please ask your host to set up a piece of floor for you!  Here's to meeting a bunch of you (?) at Moronapalooza in 2010!

Happy last day of the decade, too.

We would have a word with you, sir

NEBRASKA 33 - ARIZONA 0

Seems I recal someone yesterday predicting Az. by 4 (count 'em, 4) touchdowns. I reminded them that the "black shirts" (Nebraska's vaunted defense of years past) were back.

No applause please, this was an easy call. Big 12 vs Pac 10. I mean, come on.

is it too early to start drinking??

 

 

^{stupid question here huh}

8 I won't miss this year.  I hope I won't be saying the same thing about the next one.

It will all be clear in the fullness of time.

9 Happy New Year to ya'll.

10 And happy new year to all.  Even those of you who like to call me a pig-ignorant loon.  Though I must protest, I am not a loon.

11 Srecna nova godina!  Happy new year!  Be safe, morons (and watch your asses, hobos)...

MIKE LEACH AND A FEW GOOD MEN

Gerald Meyers (Tech AD): *Coach Leach, did you order the Code Shed?*
Kent Hance: You *donÂ’t* have to answer that question!
Coach Leach: IÂ’ll answer the question!
[to Meyers]
Coach Leach: You want answers?
Meyers: I think IÂ’m entitled.
Coach Leach: *You want answers?*
Meyers: *I want the truth!*
Coach Leach: *YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!*
[pauses]
Coach Leach: Son, we live in a world that has sidelines, and those sidelines have to be guarded by pirates with swords. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Meyers? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for James, and you curse the Pirates. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That JamesÂ’s small shed, while tragic, probably saved games. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves games. You donÂ’t want the truth because deep down in places you donÂ’t talk about at parties with your fat little girlfriends, you want me on those sidelines, you need me on those sidelines We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very bowl games that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide them. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a sword, and stand a post. Either way, I donÂ’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
Meyers: Did you order the Code Shed?
Coach Leach: I did the job IÂ…
Meyers: *Did you order the Code Shed?*
Coach Leach: *YouÂ’re G**damned right I did!*

14 Silly Gabe.  The next decade starts in 2011.

2010, suck redux. Not much reason to be optimistic about next year. Realistically speaking, that is. But I suppose it is just good manners to Wish the morons a Happy New Year.

I've had only one birthday.  The rest were anniversaries of the day of my birth.

So...I believe I was in the womb before my 1st (only birthday).

is it too early to start drinking??

Did you know that Jagger is more than a breakfast drink?

Got a Jagger machine from son for Christmas.  This could get ugly!

46 to be extremely pedantic -

a decade is a unit of measure, it measures 10 years. 

Soooooo ooooooo,

You, or Gabe,  could say "the last decade" and mean "going back the last ten years", which would take you to December 31, 1999 - when we were all filling our bathtubs with water in case the water distribution center shut-down and you could stay in Vegas for $20 because people thought the planes would fall out of the sky.

Now we've got 2012 to worry about.
....

Oh, and a cohort is 100 Roman troops, lead by a centurion.

and to decimate something is to reduce its strength by 1/10th

47 Sorry, but the Sixties started in Nineteen Sixty One. fify No year zero each decade begins with a 1. This has always been a pet peeve of mine. I was working for lawyers in 1999, and was having this argument with one of the "smarter" JD's in the office. I told him that the Romans had no concept of the zero. He then in all his super smartyness asked me "Then how did the write the number 10?, huh?" I just banged my head on the lunch room table and walked out of the room. I'm sure to this day he still thinks he won that point.

48 Someone needs to be fired, beaten, have their eyes gouged out, immasculated, burned at the stake, cursed to hell, etc. for making this decision.  This bastard killed our boys!

Unbelievable.  We release a jackal with our boys' blood on his hands in a prisoner exchange for some pansy Brit who probably got himself captured walking away from his post to take a leak.  We should have tortured and killed this POS and then swapped them his body.  Reconciliation my ass.  You reconcile a war zone by swapping more or less innocent people who were forced into fighting by factional alliances, not by releasing mass murderers to kill again.

49 Happy New Year morons/ettes.  And good effin' riddance to 2009.  I don't hold out much hope 2010 will be any better, but I hope and pray.

The D'oh household will be celebrating New Year's Day Southern style.  Collard greens, hoppin-John, ham, and cornbread. 

50 NEBRASKA 33 - ARIZONA 0 ... the "black shirts" (Nebraska's vaunted defense of years past) were back.

How in the hell did Nebraska manage 33 points?  Let me guess:

- interception return for TD (7-0)
- fumble return for TD (14-0)
- recovered fumble on 1 yard line, converted 4th and goal (21-0)
- safety (23-0)
- interception returned to the 5 yard line, kicked 51 yard FG (26-0)
- 83-yard TD pass where Zac Lee throws the ball right to the field corner, who fails to catch it.  Ball pops up in the air, bounces off the head of the free safety as he gets hit by the strong safety, caught by Nebraska receiver and taken for a TD (33-0)

51 bleh --- forget the above.  I see it's been addressed.

so ... who's up for a discourse on "fin de siecle part deux"

52 Since when do we conduct prisoner exchanges?

I thought we just declared them terminally ill and let them go?

53 By common agreement, however, the vast majority of us consider the decade to change when the "Deci" numeral (denoting the "tens" value) changes. And we name our decades accordingly: the Twenties started in 1920, the Thirties in 1930, etc.

Oh, I agree with you.

I'm was trying to point out to the "No Year Zero" pedants that a decade is just a ten-year span, so you may as well associate it with something useful (like when the tens digit changes) rather than something which may be correct but is totally irrelevant.

54 @38 - Hi Heather   So it took a little while to get on track. New coach and all.  And watch out for my boys (KSU) over the next few years.    Remember coach Snyder?  Heee's Baaack.

The D'oh household will be celebrating New Year's Day Southern style.  Collard greens, hoppin-John, ham, and cornbread.

So, in your opinion, what is the last year of the first decade, 9 or 10?

59

The D'oh household will be celebrating New Year's Day Southern style.  Collard greens, hoppin-John, ham, and cornbread. 

But, not until it's been cooked for a day or so, right?

YUM YUM, Can we taste some today mom?

60 And we name our decades accordingly: the Twenties started in 1920, the Thirties in 1930, etc.

Who are the "we" in that sentence?  You, Gabe and Life magazine?  Intellectual laziness is no reason for acting retarded -- and neither is the fact that you already wrote your Top 10 lists and now would feel stupid acknowledging that you're publishing them only nine years into a decade.  I hope everything really cool in this decade winds up happening in 2010 just to fuck with you guys.

61 Oh, and a cohort is 100 Roman troops, lead by a centurion.

A century is 100 Roman troops. Give or take, it changed a lot.

62

Maddog,

Arkansas and Texas. Never had Hopping John.

64 May all the M&M's have a safe and happy new year's eve and a better 2010 cause I hope that things can't get much worse than 2009.
And if you are going out tonight make sure you have a DD or a cab no need to drive.

65 By common agreement, however, the vast majority of us consider the decade to change when the "Deci" numeral (denoting the "tens" value) changes. And we name our decades accordingly: the Twenties started in 1920, the Thirties in 1930, etc. The majority voted for Obambi, so that makes it right? But to avoid getting flamed, I agree to go back to lurking, and keep my mouth shut.

66 They're coming up with "ten years to a decade" as 2000 to 2009 is ten years (inclusive) and  is part of the "oughts" which is as it "ought" to be.

If you don't believe your eyes, try using you're fingers.  Start counting the years from 2000

when you get to 2009 you should run out of fingers.

67 Who are the "we" in that sentence?

People who read "20" as "twenty", not "tenteen", would consider "twenty" to be part of the "Twenties".

Awww, you're no fun.

69 I hate decade/century/millennium nits, conservative, liberal, or otherwise. It's been a shitty year; let's hope for a great 2010.

70 Hi teej  

How the hell did KSU get in the Top25 in men's basketball, that's what I can't figure out.  It's unsettling.  Like the year KU didn't suck at football. 

71 and to decimate something is to reduce its strength by 1/10th

Decimate had its origin from the Roman form of punishment whereby for sometimes even minot transgressions and to maintain discipline, 1 in every 10 soldiers would be sumarily executed.

72

Gabe always was bad at math.

Gabe is not bad at math, he explained earlier why he will consider 2010 as the start of a new decade.  What's more '10 is not Year Zero, it is simply the start of a decade that has numbers beginning with 1.  I know, numerical pedants will have my guts for garters now.

73 actually, having checked post facto, a cohort is six centurias.

a centuria has LXXX troops in it.

which makes no fvcking sense.

Fvcking Romans.

Romanes eunt Domus.

It's mostly a SC thing, but you get it in VA,GA, MS, AL and NC. The really old South.

Pure Soul Food! 

Ham hocks, blackeyed peas, onions, pepper,  Cook until it is mush, eat!

75

I've never been a big proponent of celebrating the "New Year."  I mean, I celebrate my birthday, because that is a day upon which something important, at least to me, occurred.  Likewise the 4th of July.  Something cool happened on that particular day, and it's worth celebrating.

But the "New Year"? 

Tick tock tick tock tick tock . . .

Ding!

It's tomorrow!!!!  Yay!!!!!  A new arbitrary time unit for measuring our lives has begun!!!!

Plus, I'm old, so I can't stay up until midnight anymore.

 

76 Collard greens represent greenbacks for the New Year.  The peas in the hoppin' John represent coins.  That's what I was taught by my grandmother, anyway.  Who cares.  It's still delicious. 

And Kemp, I'm not your mom, darlin', but you are welcome to the D'oh home.  Smooch.

77 Hopefully, this coming decade will have better music, better fashion sense, better movies... Ah, screw it.  This one's going to suck too, isn't it?

78  Seriously. It's been ten years since the Nineties. That means it's time for some Top Ten of the Decade lists. Lighten up, Francis.

79 If you can't tell a cohort from a century, my XX Legion is gonna mangle your Maniples. 

80 You'd have to be a fucking retard to sit there and tell me that the year 2000 is part of the Nineties. Now, you're not a fucking retard are you?

81

#76

As they said in Caddie Shack:

"What was that address again?"

 

82 actually, having checked post facto, a cohort is six centurias.

a centuria has LXXX troops in it.

In the Ist cohort of a legion, a centuria had CLX troops. But the cohort only had V centurias.

As Asterix said, these Romans are crazy.

83

People who read "20" as "twenty", not "tenteen", would consider "twenty" to be part of the "Twenties". -

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIAdHEwiAy8">Monty Python's "Romans Go Home" bit</a>

note:  if the Romans had had  longbows ... we'd all be using Latinate constructions.

85 Start counting the years from 2000 ... when you get to 2009 you should run out of fingers.

Well, yeah, but you just built the fallacious premise that the last decade started in 2000 right into your argument.  That's like saying that if I start with the premise that all cars are green and then exclude anything that looks and acts like a car merely because it's not green, then voila!, every car out there is now green.

This is a classic example of "begging the question," as the expression is properly used, or should "we" all start using the phrase begging the question when what we mean is that a question really needs to be asked merely because that's what 99% of everyone else is doing, even though it's wrong?

86 Just one day closer to the apocalypse. Fuck it.

87 @70 - With hard nosed defense, being hungry on the boards and having (in my useless opinion) one of the best pair of starting guards in the country. And thanks for noticing. I'm hoping we can take at least one from my second favorite team, the currently #1 ranked KU Jayhawks.

88 Yay!!!!!  A new arbitrary time unit for measuring our lives has begun!!!!

Yes...and everything that is shitty today will be shitty tomorrow; everything that isn't shitty today will probably be not shitty tomorrow, too.  I say "probably" because a whole lot of new state laws start tomorrow.  For example, NY has raised the booze tax.  Shitty.

89 Will the next year be called "two thousand ten"  or "twenty-ten"?

90 Oh, and more importantly:

LSU 24
Penn State 14

91 hat's like saying that if I start with the premise that all cars are green and then exclude anything that looks and acts like a car merely because it's not green, then voila!, every car out there is now green.

98 Thanks, Kemp.  I was more contemplating the continuous, non-discreet nature of time than despairing....except for the booze tax thing.  That really is shitty.

99 Your point?

Assumption of a false premise to begin your argument (e.g., start counting on your fingers beginning with the year 2000 = all cars are green), otherwise known as "begging the question," was the point.

100 I guess those two-digit year date systems on computers should have been told problems would only arise on Dec 31, 2000, not Dec 31, 1999, because that's when "the" century changes.

101 My subsequent point was that LSU is going to beat Penn State by a score of 24-14 unless Jordan Jefferson plays like an idiot, which is, unfortunately, always possible.

102

Ham hocks, blackeyed peas, onions, pepper,  Cook until it is mush, eat!

Damn. Those are some of my favorite things. Gonna have to try that. Might toss in some green chilies...

103 So, tomorrow at the SlaveDog House, it's the traditional New Years fare of red beans and rice and roast pork with sauerkraut.  Maybe some collards.

And the possibility of LSU salvaging a very disappointing season by beating the crap out of the evil Penn State.

Besides the standard black-eyed peas etc., what's the other traditional moron fare for New Years.?

104

Goddress and Heather,

I hate you all!

Now you've got me all worked up and I am going to the sto and get me some fixing to make me some hopping jack and corn bread.

For a  single guy this is work!  But I have plenty of Jagger to see me threw my task.

I fear I do not have enough time to cook the pot.  A little late to start hoppin jack.  Will discuss over Jagger after sto visit.

117 We will have pork&sauerkraut, black eyed peas,corn bread and banana pudding but I'm doing ribs on the grill instead of a pork roast this year.Plus the Buckeye's in the Rose Bowl what a wonderful way to start the new year.

Helen Mirren - I'd hit it.

Anyway, I was referring to 52 Pick Up, the best Roy Scheider movie, ever.  (Except for maybe All That Jazz or The 7-Ups).  Pick up a copy.  It's from 1986, when movies were, well, just movies.

All that has nothing to do with 2010, though.

I can see TEE866 is a southerner. Crab, shrimp, tater tots and green peas for us. And you have to leave some peas on your plate at the end of the meal and then throw them out the back door.

Kraut!

Lived in MD as a kid and neighbors were German, they had kraut with Thanksgiving turkey!  It is great, sweet cranberry dressing turkey and some sour kraut!

Been doing it now for 30 years!

D'oh, don't forget me!  Get extra!  Around noon? 

"What was that address  again?"

And since it's New Year's Eve you have to watch Dinner for One.

128 Greetings and cheers, morons & moronettes!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year (2010 is gonna rock!) and another 6 days of Merry Christmas! (There's 12 Days of Christmas, beginning on Dec. 25th and ending on Jan. 6th, Epiphany.)

In 8 hours I shall be opening my bottle of absinthe!

Cheers!

Doesn't the Russian Church celebrate Christmas on  January 6th?

 

130 So what is absinthe? I've heard about it, and thought it was illegal or something.

131 Answered my own question the Russians have Christmas the day AFTER Epiphany, Jan 7th!

132 Doesn't the Russian Church celebrate Christmas on January 6th? Posted by: Kemp at December 31, 2009 12:30 PM (2+9Yx) Well, yes, but Russians also think of virgin wool as potential marriage material. What's your point?

Google it up was booze made with worm wood, suppose to be like opium.

The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates its Christmas on January 7^th. We have neighbors from the Ukraine so we leave our tree and decorations up until the 8^th.

Happy Last Day of the Decade!

(General agreement with your definition of a decade as well as its start and end dates and your assessment of those who need to take exception to these generally accepted meanings. Except for the 1980s. The 80s freaking rocked, baby. That decade was so big that you couldn't cram it into a ten-year span. Fifteen is more like it. That most glorious decade began with the release of Van Halen's debut album in 1978 and ran roughly until the time Z-Rock started playing Weezer.)

137 I'm not southern I was born and raised in Ohio, lol but I'm from good German stock so it's always kraut on New Years and the black eyed peas and cornbread is for the hubby who says he's from the south even though he's born and raised in WV where we live now go figure.

138 @136: USAGE 1 In contemporary use, a century is popularly calculated as beginning in a year that ends with ‘00,’ whereas the traditional system designates the ‘00’ year as the final year of a century. This discrepancy was particularly apparent on January 1, 2000, which was commercially celebrated worldwide as the first day of the 21st century, even though January 1, 2001, was regarded as the more proper date for this milestone. 2 Since the 1st century ran from the year 1 to the year 100, the ordinal number (i.e., second, third, fourth, etc.) used to denote the century will always be one digit higher than the corresponding cardinal digit(s). Thus, 1492 is a date in the 15th century, 1776 is a date in the 18th century, and so on. *********** You're welcome.

That makes sense. I know the cornbread and black eyed peas being southern but I couldn't figure out how the sauerkraut got in that meal. Our Easter meal is ham and sauerkraut and something we call cidek but everybody else calls hrutka.

Good lord I don't know how many times I've seen this arguement. How long ago was it? Let me count down on my fingers. 10,9 8,7,6, and I have five more fingers so that makes 11yrs ago.

Ahhh, fuck it. I'm gonna go with the absinthe.

141

Sockpuppet off.

142

Thus, 1492 is a date in the 15th century, 1776 is a date in the 18th century, and so on.

3,268!

143 Happy New Year to all M&Ms!  Wishing you the best for the next year, and the next decade.

Whatever you're doing tonight, have fun and be safe! 

144 Good fucking God. Centuries and decades are DIFFERENT UNRELATED STANDARDS OF MEASUREMENTS. The 21st Century started in 2001. Yes pedantic bastards, you won. But as has been said a gajillion times, a decade is a ten year span. You can have "the decade between 1985 and 1995." Has anyone ever heard of "the century between 1850 and 1950"? No? Because there's no such fucking thing. This decade started in the year 2000, and ends tonight. You hear me? IT ENDS TONIGHT, BITCHES.

145 Ooops, guess the "decade" part of my good wishes might be about a year too soon!  (Face red)

146 Or, maybe not?!?  Geez, I can never keep this shit straight. 

Going out with the fam tonight for dinner, and then back home to set off fireworks and shoot silly string all around the neighborhood and stuff.  Then I'll come home, have a drink to toast the New Year and new decade, and go to bed.  Exciting stuff, yep. 

147

Exciting stuff, yep.

Tell us more about the silly string...

X @ 144: Has anyone ever heard of "the century between 1850 and 1950"? No? Because there's no such fucking thing.

Hispanic Heritage Month goes from September 15 to October 15. It's the same principle.

Actually - the last day of the decade ends at the end of 2010.

151 Take this year behind the barn and kill it with an axe.

he's born and raised in WV where we live now go figure

My dear, WV was part of VA until the Yankee stole it, so yes it is Southern
