Yipee for the gang who got it together!
The more that neebee fills me in, the better this gift box becomes.
I won't embarrass the lot of you, fear not.
My aim this year, not a resolve, is to be nice, not snide.
To be uplifting, not posting and saying how I hate the subject, how disgusting something is, how ignorant, stupid or lame someone acted, and to post decent photos of people as subjects and to limit the rest to good stuff, level and focused.
(But the Raiders still suck and always will.)
I'm getting to where I'm nearly as good as some others here in my photography, and quantity is not what is called for when the audience is genuinely above average in intelligence, taste, and judgement.
I've gotten over my awe of the "names" here, for they are basically no different than I, simply better at their games than I or my old pals, the Flames.
This is absolutely fine and the way it should be. It's like an adoption into a loving family. You need it, they are willing to share it.
So, brevity being the best thing in a writer's or poet's bag of tricks, let me say nothing more, except that I wish and pray and hope and say
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Burn it up! Burn it down!
It won't matter to zBrown or Jaybro or Barbarian, et al.

Is it 2014 yet?
Is Big Brother's daughter in charge now?
Will they see ALL the warts, or will Max Factor step in to save the day?
Is Leinengen behind this ANT caper?
Will the remake of "Same Time Next Year", tentatively titled "Same Time This Year," be allowed to proceed unmolested?
Will Chris Diamontopoulos return as "Moe" in the Three Stooges sequel to "Termites of 1938," working title of "Roaches of 2015." Or will I get the job?
It's your movie...make your movie...I'm the only one here...

This thread has got everything... there's humans, mice, cats, dogs, trout, birds, squirrels and more. I have seen few horses. Here's one - among many stones:

Camouflageed, that hoss. It's French. They're Californian and there's no camoo-floggin' allowed here.
And there is an on-going fight to keep tat off the streets, out of the way, and off the climbing routes so people will maybe come back to visit the hellhole of Yosemite Valley once more.

hey there say, mouse... wait, go back to the skully photo, where you DRAPED the muffler over the lamp... muffler was from skully, with the hoodie, :)
jaybro gave all the recent thrift-store find, and with that little box-game, the 'GIFT that you said was meant to CONFUSE YOU'... hee hee, see:
it REALLY worked, :) ;)
the little muppet gave the snowball, as, snow is a ball, for little kids, :))
it was with the frames...
say, i love this:
my aim this year, not a resolve, is to be nice, not snide.
i think you've made a 'nice' 'slide into home' ;)
hmmm, how you DID it, with ALL THOSE mice, filling up your home, must have been a real 'tail' ... :)
happy new wonderful and good and strong new year, that is SOON upon us!
wow, that little puzzle-box must really be something, :O
edit:

I'm saving that perplexer for the second rainy day. The first rain day I will be out on the roof of the building naked and dancing.
I still like you, Jaybro. Turn the page and the other cheek.
Was that not nice? I blame the mice!
Everybody needs scape-mice. I got'em.

I last talked to Gene on the phone just a couple days back. Sorry for the disconnection. My bill wasn't paid, I thorta thought it had've been, it slipped my mind, I dint answer the messages...[a dozen excuses later]...and on the basis of this decided I'm a bird-brained Brian.
Eff fones anyway. They're for girls, mainly, I realize, but guys like them, too. Irish Ring, the cell phone/deodorant stick from Onhi Communications.
"It was simply a lucky guess about the Q not being in the dial, because, you see, I'm not Sherlock, and I don't think like him, either. No, I'm just old man Bell's assistant, good old Come Here "Comma" Watson. And no quack like yourself, old bean."--Tome "Watsinaname" Watts-Updike to his English fictional counterpart, overheard by certain mice at a bookseller's convention cocktail party
Off to the Trophy Room across the street. Avoid the traffic, stay close to home, see you safe and sound manana.
Remind me to bring out the farce side in the morning. I'm a bird-brained Brian signing out.

Happy New Year Mouse and Everyone!
Mouse, sir:
Scape mice or poltergeists???
Was that not nice? I blame the mice!
Everybody needs scape-mice. I got'em.
Doug called them poltergeists, but scape-mice makes me smile, so thank you for a new image of those pesky poltergeists in the works. :)
And those mice are obviously celebrating the New Year arriving by jumping all over your keyboard! LOL Neebee planned a great deal of entertainment for you. So fun.
You can blame the mice. Nice.
Thank you for the beautiful Bacarisse by Yepes, kind sir. Doug and I used to revel in some of the old Sephardic music from Spain. Lush stuff. Good reminder: I am off to search for some exquisite New Year's evening music. At my age, I doubt that I will last until midnight. I have had a glass of 2003 Kiona Cab, a bottle Doug had collected. It was perfect with the Alaska Moose tenderloin I had, even as I toasted all good men. There are some excellent men walking this Earth, and I am so thankful for their presence. A small toast to Doug and all good men. :)
Thank you all for your honor. :)
Happy New Year, and may it be a Blessed year of Peace and Goodness for each of us.

Can you even pull Class 4?
I can.
All you fellas, 'bout the midnight hour...
MAKE IT HAPPEN,
don't walk around in the street, just truckin'.
If you're hungry, only thing to do...then one
WAITS! It works, for me. In my dreamses.
Take one Kerouac daily. Repeat.
On the road, particularly in West Virginia, try to envision the Whatever-happened-to-my-youth like Edward Abbey, the Real Brave Lonesome, and prescribe for your own self.
