HAPPY NEW YEARS - WATCH LIVE FROM TIMES SQUARE!
UPDATE! Yes the link works, it still works but I hate reruns & loud noises every time I open my browser to this site. So I killed it off.
But here are a couple of New Years illustrations from my favorite On-Line comic SLUGGY FREELANCE for you all to enjoy.
Blessed Be, & party on like its 1999, err 2009

Cue the Ewoks, Star Wars Hits the Stage
Los Angeles (E! Online) – A long time from now, in a galaxy far, far away...the Star Wars money machine will still be cranking.
Not content with seven feature films or myriad TV spinoffs ranging from the current Clone Wars cartoon series to the dreaded Star Wars Holiday Special, the Jedi masterminds are readying a stage show.
George Lucas has signed off on Star Wars: A Musical Journey, a two-hour live musical event featuring a Stormtrooper kick line and singing Wookiees John Williams' Oscar-winning score.
Premiering next year in London's O2 arena, the production will be performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in synch with movie clips from the six live-action films. The show will play in chronological order, from The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi.
The production will blast off April 10 in the U.K. and then embark on a European tour, complete with an exhibition of rare Star Wars collectibles, including never-before-seen models, props, costumes and production artwork. No word when it will visit America.
Now if we could only get a musical version of the Star Wars Holiday Special...
Blessed Be, & may the force be with you to get good seats

. . . And the Meece shall inherit the Earth
{story from BBC Americas website}
Mice or rats are thought to have chewed through electric wires |
Mice may be responsible for a blaze that killed nearly 100 cats at an animal shelter near the Canadian city of Toronto, officials say.
The fire at the humane society shelter in Oshawa also killed three dogs and some rats that were up for adoption.
An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze.
Offers of help have been pouring in from animal lovers across Canada.
"It's unfortunate and ironic that mice caused the fire that killed the cats," Toronto Humane Society spokesman Ian McConachie told the BBC News website.
"Unfortunately, the mice probably perished in the fire as well," he added.
The $250,000 (£137,000) fire is still under investigation by the Ontario Fire Marshal's office.
Mr McConachie said it would be some days before a final report would be released.
In all, only nine dogs, two cats and one rat were rescued in Wednesday's early morning blaze.
They are being housed in a nearby municipal shelter, while volunteers rebuild the burnt-down shelter for the Humane Society of Durham Region.Blessed Be, [insert your own pussy cat joke here]
