Happy New Year to All
2006-01-01
Happy New Year to all the regulars, posters, commenters, lurkers, and a few trolls.
Posted by:Fred

#38  Just got back from a super NY party in Homer. The band was a local one, called "Too Fat to Fly." All festivities aside, I wish all Rantburgers the best for 2006, along with continued good analyses and ideas for making this world a better place and for banishing the evil that infests this world. Ima reddy for another Rantburg Roller Coaster Ride around the sun.

#32  Indeed, thank you Fred. Rantburg is, by a wide margin, the most informative, useful and entertaining site on the WWW. Many pretenders, but there is only one, there can BE only one, and it is Rantburg.

To those missing in action, Lucky, TGA, lex, et al, I miss your insights and snappy repartee.

Again, thanks Fred.

#31  My dad used to say, "take care, and keep your powder dry" as a way of saying "Happy New Year". I think I'll add to that, "Fix Bayonets!". The war against fools is never over, but thanks to Fred and crew, Rantburg gives us the ammunition to blow them out of the water. Thanks, Fred!

#27  To all the fine ladies and gentlemen of RB, a good, fruitful, and happy new year 2006!

Thanks, Mr. Pruitt, for this lil' corner of the internet... Not enough nude pics to satisfy my jaded fetish porn habit, but a very fine and instructive place, ran by a very smart and funny fellow, and with great visitors!

Bonne année 2006 à tous!

Cheers!

#17  Good morning and Happy New Year to all Rantburgers -- both those we know through their posts and those who come quietly to learn what's really going on in the world. May your year be filled with all that is best for you and those you love: health, happiness, success in your chosen field of endeavor, and just enough wealth for fun (but not enough to spoil you!). And may this be the year in which there are clear wins in this War on Terror that was thrust upon us. My choice would be the traditional media surrendering, but I'll take whatever our boys and girls in (and sometimes out) of uniform give us.

#16  Happy New Year to all. I would be proud to change my status from a "lurker" to a "regular" in 2006, heh.
I just got back home from taking my son to the airport. What a wonderful week I had with both kids home, it just goes so fast though.
I hope most here have been able to be with their families and enjoy.
Yes 2b, I agree, to send out a special thanks to those who stood the watch.

Happy 2006 Everyone! And a very special thanks to all of those who stood the watch! Thanks!!!

#9  Yeppers, R-Burgers, A fine new year to all. We've already had our new years celebration last night, owing to the fact that Korea is on the other side of the date zone line. Dar, Barb, Fred, Muck, D Blondie, Murat TGA, etc, I look forward to another victorious year amongst pals of the same mind set. Towards the Greater Good,
I shall always remain

I wanted to be the first with a "Happy New Year" just after midnight, and I made it!

Yeah, yeah - I'm easily amused.

To bed - see y'all on the flip side. :-D
