    One year I went to New York City for new year’s. We quickly figured out that trying to get into Times Square would be miserable, so we found a little bar with some live jazz. One of my favorite NYEs ever.

      I’ve heard that once you’re in Times Square, there’s no way to get out until after midnight, and no bathrooms, so people wear adult diapers. Like what in the actual fuck? How is watching Ryan Seacrest or whoever the fuck blather into a camera while a ball slowly drops down a rod worth standing in dirty diapers for six hours?

          It’s neat to see for the first time. I was somewhat amazed that people built all of that. But I was ready to leave by the time we got about a block from the square. I don’t think we ever actually made it to the center, as I had seen enough. I won’t go back.

        Have you ever seen how quickly a crowd parts when someone holds up a shit covered hand?

        Watch a GG Allin video to see how quick people move when facing someone with shit in their hand.
