New Year's Eve (and Day) Open Thread 80s Dance Party!

On the wheels of steel
On the wheels of steel

It’s New Year’s Eve (at least in my time zone) and I’m sure none of us want to spend it thinking about MRAs or PUAs or GamerGaters. So here’s an open thread, and an assortment of 80s dance classics, to distract you! Well, they’re classics to me, anyway.

Videos after the jump.

If you’re not up and dancing by now, maybe these guys will inspire you:

Happy New Year!

Oh, and if any trolls show their heads in this thread, email the mods and we’ll get the bouncers to remove them.

Happy New Year! No matter how good or bad 2014 was for you, I hope 2015 is much better.

We’re going to break out some wine soon. Hopefully this won’t be a falling-down-drunk night. LOL

Best wishes for a better year to all the Mammoth community: to David, the commenters, lurkers and (most importantly) to the hoard of ferrets and cats who fill all these human suits!

Oh, and thanks for posting that Danielle Dax vid. I discovered her while working for my college radio station and haven’t listened to her much recently, but you inspired me to go dig through my old cds to find hers and finally rip them!!

I have not posted here in some time inasmuch as my computer was down. I just wanted to wish the entire Mammoth community, a very happy and healthy 2015. May all joy come your way. At times I have to stay away from this blog because it could be aggravating ad negative to me with all the hateful stupid comments coming from the MRA community. As much as I have enjoyed this blog and give kudos to David for his hard work on it, I kinda hope that in 2015 there will not be any material that David can find on the web, because all the Mra’s/Mgtow’s stopped hating women and decided to change their course. But that is wishful thinking on my end and probably not going to happen. But perhaps there will at least be less hate coming form the manosphere, and more focusing on genuine gender equality. Cheers for the New Year to all.

Is this a good place to say that the entire Internet compiling “best of 2014” and “worst of 2014” and “_____est of 2014” lists is wearying me?

Okay this is a Christmas pic but I only saw it now, and it’s too good not to share.

Happy New Year everybody!

I’m going to spend the next several hours snuggling a redhead and two cats whilst drinking apple-flavored Crown Royal and playing picross. I was told that the way you ring in the new year is the way you’re going to spend it – I AM READY, 2015. BRING IT ON.

Well, bother! I wish I had read that before I had a Nyquil. 😛 Ah well, day shift tomorrow, so I must be up early!

Happy happy and merry merry to all. Talk to you lovely people next year (except, of course, for the people who are already in next year!)

And now for something completely different!

Is it relevant? Nope!
Is it cool? Yup!
Does it have a minute and a half intro that I have never seen and don’t understand? You bet your boots it does!
