Happy New Year

As I was sitting here thinking of what to say I decided that I wasnt going to do too much reflecting back on 2005 my write up because Im sure you are sick of all that shit already , Instead Im going to get excited about 2006 here at The Daily Column and the new things that will be unveiled ( sooner or later) and for those of you who come here everyday it's going to be a great new DC to explore ...trust me on that !

We had a crazy 2005 here at the DC from the changing of the preverbial guard at the reigns from Peter to Myself to the site going down twice . As far as the world around us there were also nuts around every corner from Cindy Sheehan to The Bug eyed runaway bride , Hurricane Katrina , Terry Shaivo ( which was a fantastic argument in the forums ) , The death of the Pope , Micheal Jackson being called out ..Finally , Britney Spears turning into the white trash she was born to do , we still havent caught Osama ,

As far as our members here at the DC , alot of us also had a big year :

* SkittleBrau's new addition to the family
* Boogietrunks opening up a new Bar ( which is a good thing when he hangs with boozers)(
* Leandroc getting married
* Jambo's pending bun in the oven
* Sirchief's new one ( I think that was this year ?)
* Floridabobcat ...well still being good ole Bob
* And myself inherting this great site

If I forgot anyone just yell at me monday .

So instead of looking back at 2005 in your mirror , let's look ahead to 2006 and all the good things that are going to happen .

Here are the Best photos of 2005 ...powerful stuff here .

Time rocks ...here are 50 of the best websites of 2005 ..I dont thiny I saw TDC on there ?

Wanna know where the best places to ring in the new year are ...here they are .

How's your memory? Take the 2005 Health Quiz

Well you get the hint ..

Goodbye 2005

Hello 2006

Be safe and Happy New Year

Almost there ....

Im busy putting together my year end column since Hoot took 1/2 of my links ...Im posting it tommorow so check in a read it .

Thanks

Hoot's End of 2005 Thursday Things

Here we are at the end of another year. Goodbye 2005 and hello 2006. Where the fuck did the time go? That is one thing I hate about getting older. Time goes by way too quick.

I personally would like to thank Richie for letting me help him out here on the column(when I do a column that is!!). No seriously, I do enjoy putting together a guest column for all of our loyal TDC'ers even though I don't have the time to do it sometimes. If it wasn't for all of you who come to see us everyday there probably would not be a TDC at all.

Thank you readers one and all.

And we know there are lots of you who just read the front page of the column but there is a whole other side to TDC and that is the forums. They are there for you, the readers, to join and speak your mind the way Richie and I do about anything you want. Don't be shy. Sign up, post and have fun. I know there are lots of you that have joined the forums and just lurk and read. That is fine but the more personal views there are in the forums the better off the discussions will be. And don't let the ballbreaking posters scare you off. Stand up for what you believe and speak your mind. Who really gives a shit what somebody in an online forum has to say to your comments. If you let them get to you how do you function in the real world?

I say go forth in this life, be who you are, speak your mind and don't give a fuck about any other persons opinion of you or what you have to say or what you do.
Be yourself and enjoy this one life you have. Because before you know it you will be gone and then nobody really gives a shit what you thought!!!

OK enough of that spew. One last time for '05. Let's do it!!!

A Turkish dance for our Turkish forum member!

Mess with the bull and you will get the horns!!! (Wound footage included)

Thank god for stupid people! And those who love pain.

See everyone next year. I'm out. Peace. Hoot23

My Tuesday Rage

Ok now that the christmas spirit is almost gone , I guess it's time to let you guys know what happened on Christmas Eve in my presence . Now as soon as you read this , go into the forums and please comment about it because I think this topic is going to be a good one :

It was Xmas eve morning and we had people coming over so I decided to take the kids out for a couple hours and let my wife clean the house and get ready without the kids in her hair all day . So we go to Toys R Us and look around , We go to Sports Authority and then we end up at IHOP for lunch .

We sit down and order and while Im ordering , I look out the window at this Expedition that pulled up and parked next to my car with a family in it . I couldnt really get a good look at them but as they got closer I noticed them : The typical Guido and his Columbian wife and 3 kids . Now Im not even exagerrating at all when I say the guy had his shirt open down to his belly button , a long leather jacket , 3 long gold necklaces with a 8-10 inch cross hanging off of one of them and the wife had the gaudiest fur coat you will ever see on ..It was truly laughable but I controlled myself so far and sure enough they sat at the table right behind our with the guy facing me on opposite sides of the booth .

This guy was the typical Goomba , A little guy with a big attitude . I really hate generalizing all Italians but you really had to see this guy to believe him . Anyways he was snapping his fingers and whistling when the waitress didnt come right over , he was barking out orders and bitching about the table ...just being an asshole .

So they have 2 boys , about 13 and 10 , and a little girl who couldnt be more than 1 1/2 maybe but very , very cute . She would look over at my daughter because they were back to back in the booths and kinda play and my daughter would play back .....AND THIS IS WHEN IT STARTED....He told the little girl to sit down but being so young they never really listen the 1st 4 times you say something so he reaches over and smacks her right in the head really hard . Now Im sitting there in total amazment but didnt say anything. 2 minutes later of course the little girl is up again , now she isnt bothering us in the least and not causing a scene at all , This time the wife grabs a handful of this little girls hair and yanks her down and says something to her . Now im going nuts , Im contenplating whether I speak up and say something to these fuckers or do i just keep my mouth shut and If you know me at all, I have a very hard time keeping my mouth shut . This guy goes on to whack this litle girl about 7 or 8 more times during the meal and I am going crazy .

Now I dont profess to be any sort of tough guy or anything , but if it wasnt Xmas eve and I wasnt alone with my kids there would have been a problem in that restaurant because I actually encourage confrotation rather than shy away from it . The way I figured it and by the way this asshole was acting , If I had said something I would have probably had to kick his ass all over IHOP because he would have mouthed off .I got up went to pay the bill and told the lady that the guy in the booth behind me was beating the shit out of his kids and they should call the cops on him .

My question to all of you is :

What would you have done in the same situation ?
Would you have said fuck it and said something , would you have sat there and minded your own buisness and let this guy raise his kids the way he wants ?

Sound off in the forums and let me know what you think !

Ok , funtime ....

Well this will be my last column before Christmas and I just want to get a couple things off my chest .....

First and foremost I want to wish each and every one of you a very healthy and happy holiday , remember to spend quality time with family and friends because these are the people that love you the most .

Now personally , I would like to thank all of you who read and contribute to our little dark corner of the internet call the Daily Column because let's face it ...Without you there would be no me . I truly enjoy the people I have gotten to meet over the past 3 years and appreciate all the nice things that are said about my site . There is going to be a new and improved Daily Column soon but these things take time but I promise it is going to be worth the wait . I hope you all enjoy reading this and clicking on the links as much as I enjoy putting it together on a nightly ( *cough cough*) basis .

Thanks again and Merry Christmas

My Humpday Happenings

It was bound to happen , It had been a long time coming in this place and now it's happened .....There is no alcohol to be sold at NY Jets home games .

What the fuck is this country coming to where you cant get a beer at a football game ? Now I wont say that they dont deserve it because if you have ever been to a Jets home game it's like amatuer night for most of these folks . I have a bunch of friends who have season tix and go every home game , they have a very cool tailgate with great food and they drink ...alot , but they know how to control themselves and enjoy the experience like a normal person should .

But most of the people who go to these games are not like my friends because I have been to enough Jets home games to tell you there are more fights in the stands than a hockey game . The fans just cant control themselves from the lighting fires in the stands to people getting stabbed in the bathrooms ..It's like prison without all the ass raping and metal bars .

Does this have all to do with the booze ..probably to a degree but why punish everyone for the actions of a few . Why not bump up security and limit people to the number of beers one can have at one time or something . Banning beer isnt the answer , It going to become more of a problem because the people are going to be coming into the game drunk now from the parking lot so the problems will start right off the bat .

My Tuesday Helping Hand

Ever notice how differently you think and feel about things around the christmas season ? I mean you drive a little slower, you act a little extra nice to people around you and you think about giving more than usual to people in need .

Well I heard of this great program the NY post office runs every year and I think it is a fantastic thing , It's called OPERTAION SANTA CLAUS and this is how it works : The post office takes all the letters that are sent to the north pole by kids and puts them aside , then they ask the people to come down and pick one up and try to make this child's wish come true . It is a great idea and I would definatley do something like that if they offered it around here .

Ok , lets do a shortie ...

Monday Stuff

I know , I know ...where have the columns been over the past week ?

I have answered all 29 emails from you people who wrote me about it and I dont appreciate the mother jokes ( very funny stuff ) but I answered all your emails with a little flair added to them,

I have started with the recinstruction of the DC and let me tell you it's going to be a little while before I get this thing done because the inner workings of this look chinese to me right now . I have gotten into the core of the site and what I am going to try to do is put together the new and improved site , test ride it out with a few of our long time DC readers and forum members ( see, it pays to be a member) and then im going to change it over so there isnt that much of an interuption in the site itself .

It's coming soon...

Until then , lets get back to the basics ...

Wow ..that was a surprise

WOW ...Well Merry Christmas to me , huh ?

That was definatley a surprise to me that Peter would come on here and say such nice things and give me The Daily Column . I am over joyed and saddened all at the same time . Over Joyed because I can now start to make this site better than it already is and I step into an almost perfectly set up situation . Im Saddened because I am losing a partner , Someone who built this site from a idea on a radio station website to the great site it is today . We certainly will all be grateful that Peter made such a fun place to go and he will be sorley missed .

Now as for the Chain of Command taking place , I am very excited about running this site my way and have many new Idea's in store for us over the next couple months . I have merchandise in the works ( Tshirts, bumper sticks , hats , ect ) , I want to do some sort of DC personels , change the front page and many other things but these things will take time and maybe a little help from all of you "tech" people in the forums . I am looking into maybe making some of our elder forum members new moderators, And having many more guest columnnists to spread the views out a little more so stay tuned .

Thanks again to all of you who come here everyday and make this site so much fun to run on a daily basis , I hope you have as much fun reading it as I have doing it .

Here we go ....

Goodbye and thanks

Oops. My bad. I thought the site was auto-billed to my bank card. It was, but my bank was bought out, so the card number was no good. Plus, I had never given them my updated email address. And until Richie called me today (Thanks, Rich.) I didn't know. All set know. Sorry about that..

To the loyal TDC readers...

This will be my last message in The Daily Column. I want to thank you all for reading and contributing. The time has come for me to create a new website. I haven't quite figured it out but when I do, you'll find out.

As for you, Rich:

You're doing a great job, so the site's all yours now. (As if I had added anything to the site in over a year) But to give you control of everything, I have to make some changes as to how it works. I don't have much time these days, so although I'll make the changes as fast as I can, it's still gonna take some time to transition, and they're may will be disruption. (Sorry, folks) I'll email you with instructions on how to use it. But email me your new email address. Unless you want to post it here and get spam from every source in the universe. :)

And with that...

Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a good night.
