If I'm paying 2 grand for a pizza, it had better be delivered by a high end escort that's mine for the night.

Not only is that revolting pizza being delivered to these Wall Street fcks, but they're also shelling out several grand for hookers, and a couple thousand for a night's supply of blow as well. :rolleyes:

Hell, not like I'm having her bring me that one with all of that ridiculous shibby on it. I'm having her bring me a meat lovers pie from a good local joint that the natives love.

Strike midnight, Happy New Year, and a neighbor is methodically firing his gun in the air. I'm in the basement; presumably the ground will protect me.

West Virginia: Baghdad with Snow.

NYE is insane here. Even with the country being 90% Catholic and Christmas being over the top, NYE dwarfs the output. My neighbor invited me to his party (he's from Atlanta, very solid guy) but I had a hankering for chicken tikka masala early on for dinner so I ordered pickup from a local joint. My pickup was scheduled for 630 and it felt like the entire drive occurred in a shooting range. I s**t you not people find it 100% acceptable to shoot bottle-rockets et al at cars and local circumnavigation is all on local streets so people are right on top of you.

Once 12:00 struck I saw no less than 6 giant fireworks displays within a 360 radius, coupled with the local pyros all trying to outdo each other. I swear it felt like a near constant war zone for a full 60 minutes. At 4 a.m. I still heard what felt like M-80's going off.

This does not surprise me in the slightest. IIRC, SE Asia is pretty well known for producing illegal firearms that end up in the US, so it's only natural.

I've seen footage of NYE in Mexico which is like this.

Yep. Nice residential neighborhood, too. The shots were from the west and the sound probably carries great here on a winter night, but I've lived in cities enough to know a gunshot. Either that guy or another neighbor had given us the heads up about 20 minutes to 12 by revving his motorcycle engine over and over for about ten minutes. I didn't hear him peel off, so I think all this was just part of a more complex redneck mating ritual.

Every NYD there are stories in the local paper about guys (a) shooting themselves accidentally, (b) shooting others on purpose, and (c) giving it all a miss with the traditional DUI tree fatality. This will be no exception. On the plus side, nobody's hit the bridge stanchion 4 years running, and nobody's driven into the Potomac since our very first year here, 12 years ago.

Don't give country people an excuse to get drunk. They read it as an excuse to get drunker.

You evacuated to WVa? I know it's just a hoot and a holler from PoR, but why?

"I love you. You're the only people who applaud Jager. And I'll tell ya...there's something wrong with that. You wanna know how they make Jager? They take all the bar rags in this country, and wring 'em out into a bottle!"

I am not a big fan of dogs, not having grown up with them and finding they come in two flavors: either irritating or, well, scary. But. I am so on the dog's side here. Euthanize the owners.
