New Years Fart 2013

The much-revered Urban Dictionary defines "a New Years Fart" as one that someone blasts an instant before the ball drops so that the fart exists in two calendar years.

Well, I don't want to subject anyone at Mudcat to such a energy-zapping challenge. But, if you have the psi in waiting, here is the thread where you can officially declare the exact time of your air child of 2013. (I have noted that some folks are already priming up with beans, pickled eggs, souerkraut, a variety of herbs and spices, and other fine air-priducing grub (btw, silent (though smelly), or nuns farts don't count).

". . . an instant before the ball drops so that the fart exists in two calendar years."

Ed, that must hurt like all get-out.

It doesn't hurt but the timing is critical. The penalty for starting too soon and trying to extend the crepitative moment may result in your extended Rattler or Double-Fleep, the two preferred flatulent styles for this maneuver, becoming uncontrolled Thundersprechts and a sure way to foul up the evening's celebrations not to mention your pants.

Surely by the descraption given it is a child of 2012. It merely survives into 2013!

I'd move it below, but it would keep floating back up. (joke) I think it sort of falls into the realm of "folklore".

The real trick would be in farting across time zones. Now THAT would be a truly awesome accomplishment!

OK. I think I know how to do this. It involves getting to the international dateline. That way the air child could exist on two days and in two years all at once. NO problem too big for Mudcat.

With airport security these days, last week was too late to book a flight, Janie.

So....whether your traditional New Year's dinner or supper is corned beef and cabbage or beans and greens(think Kale), or, as in my family, a bit of a combo - corned beef and cabbage with a side of black-eyed peas, ...Have a musical New Year. Bring on the toots.

Farts and candles, love. That's it.

Depends. If in the same room, fireworks are merely icing on the cake. For neighbors or the town or the nation to partake of the full grandeur, a match is probably called for.

AND I have to wear DEPENDS?!?!?!? :~) No, oh hell no-- this is just too hard now. Sauerkraut, check. Gas, check. Candles, matches, Bic lighter-- check. But no Depends! (BTW didja ever notice that Depends could also be pronounced "deep ends" as in going off 'em?) :~)

An' then I'd gotta get somebuddy to MATCH it, at the same time? Oh the humanity!

If you stood exactly astride the Equator , would the fart be confused as to which way to rotate ? Just a thought.

What a great night! Karen and I shared some wonderful shrimp, fine cheese, and our favorite Riesling, about 9 PM. I was asleep on the daybed by 10:30, woke up for a whiz and a few farts about 12:30, went back to bed and slept til morning.

To tell the truth, anymore that classifies as a really great night!!! Happy New Year to all you revelers! (And to my fellow old farts as well)
