Happy New Year party people. Tell me about your parties, but first read this and take it to heart.

Namaste is Arian Foster's touchdown move. He's the NFL equivalent of Sound and Motion, except that he's really good.

Cho-cha-cho-ronis.

As a 2013 thankfulness retrospective, can I just commend you people for not saying/overusing 'Chochacho' on this board? I'm on the facebook page, and the depths to which folks will sink just to insert Achewood quotables into every goddamn post makes my head hurt.

'Hey there chochacheronis I just such as got my such as dang ol teeth pulled but I'm from such as circumstances and can't afford such as insurance! Dang!"

At least when Beef garbles his speech with colloquial phrasing, it does not normally result in an syntactic utter brainteaser.

About half of those are funny  and/or a good idea (20, yes please), and then the other half are either not funny or don't make any sense to me at all. I guess some of them are things These Kids Today say that I am out of the loop about (15)?

I don't know what most of those are talking about.

"Acapella" is the worst thing on earth. I put it in quotes because I am referring to the whole schtick. People singing without instruments are fine. What I don't like is the kind where they pretend to be instruments.
Unless it is Gospel. that stuff rules.

2013 was a fantastic year that grew out of a really awful year. This year I didn't "go anywhere" outwardly but I changed a lot personally. I look forward to the continuation of this trend in 2014, plus also being accepted to graduate school. Or not, and then doing something else.
I am really into the period that is going to occur starting in 2 weeks, where I am done with grad school apps but haven't heard back yet. I am going to work out, learn more about fixing bikes, read books, cook, hang out. Enjoy life and growth with no "big" goals.

I feel like the whole idea that kids have recently started 'liking things ironically' has been blown out of proportion. People have earnestly appreciated kitsch and camp for decades at least, and the fact that bad or outmoded cultural products can be enjoyed earnestly for their hilariousness seems lost on those who decry our culture's 'irony epidemic.'

2013 can go to hell. I literally went gray this year in my 20s. There's a pivotal moment in a man's life when he picks up a box of Just For Men and wonders if it is really Just For Him.

Happened to me.  I was grizzled by 25 and gray by 30.  Now my beard is white but my mustache is hanging on to the red for a while longer.

I wouldn't sweat it much.  It gives you gravitas.  As to the hairdye question, don't wear a cape.

Yeah, 2013 sucked a pipe. I don't have any money, I'm old, fat and I can't get laid. People keep dying. It's been a really shitty year.

Every time the idea of hair dye comes up, I think about how the roots would show in a week or so - and that just doesn't seem like a treadmill I want to be on.

One thing we won't have in 2014 is an original idea in Hollywood.  A Cracked article alerts us to retreads of 4 old ideas.  I will leave it as an exercise for the reader to identify the root stories.

Peter and the Starcatchers
Pan
Peter Pan Begins

Warriors of Oz
Dorothy Must Die
Emerald City
Dorothy

Tarzan
Tarzan 3D

Hercules
Hercules: The Legend Begins

With all the starving scriptwrights like LFM floating around LA, you'd think some ideas could just be left in the archives.
