(it's midnight somewhere) Happy Newt Year

[driftsintobuffetline]

[So, it's midnight and when the video comes on, Time Square is SCREAMING LOUD: the countdown has just hit ONE, the ball has dropped, there's kazoos and buzzers and poppers and fireworks and sparklers and Auld Lang Syne sung by a million drunk people who have drowned out the speakers pumping in the music.

And that's just the soundtrack.

But the focus of video, which is very clearly a slightly sloppy selfie by a possibly drunk Newton Geiszler, is the lip-lock he now has on his lab-mate, Hermann Gottlieb. His cheeks are rosy from the cold and Hermann is nearly overtaken by his parka hood, and they're being jostled by the crowd, but the kiss lasts a good long time before they finally break apart.

Before he shuts off the feed, Newt brings the phone closer and declares VERY LOUDLY and VERY SHRILLY so he's heard over the noise:]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Right. Maybe finding the picture itself, if it's here, is a good way to go. But you'd just be giving it an upgrade with the butterfly clip. There's nothing wrong with that. Some would call the change artistic.

Artistic, oh yeah. What will we consider the change of having the part of the nurse played by a scruffy, heavily tatt'd dude, huh? Still an upgrade? Because I could call it an upgrade.

There are people out there besides yourself who'd find it a much better upgrade than the butterfly clip, I'm sure.
