The tradititional "Let's be CAREFUL out there!" thread...

Hi folks. Someone's gotta say it.

Be careful tonight. Remember, it's not you- We're all smart enough not to drive drunk (-most car enthusiasts are, I think).

It's the other people on the road. Tonight's the night to be paranoid, folks.

Eh, I gotta be at work at 6am (no partying for me ) so I should be pretty safe. Unless some drunk crashes into my house.

Only dumb ***** drive while intoxiciated. Plain and simple. Being under the influence is no excuse for a possible eventuality of incidently murdering someone who shares the roads or killing yourself and possibly a passenger in the process. That evil is in my mind.

But those who are smart-Drink yourself stupid were you are going to sleep tonight and no one will be hurt from a accident then.

Happy new year!

Heh...

This is just another friday night hopefully. drunk by 10 or 11pm and sober by 2am so I can drive home.

And yes, this is one of those nights you really need to be safe.

And I'm a tuxedoed waiter tonight, working a new years party.

I get off work at the computer store at 3pm, then from 6pm-3am I'm working again.. no sleep for me!

Then 10am tomorrow morning I have to head out to Toronto to pick up an engine
