Hello and a Hearty Welcome to Mafia Mike's
Come on in, we have been waiting for you. Glad you could stop by.
Stay as long as you like and come by whenever you can.
**** It's always 5pm somewhere ******
Popping in for a short note today. So, without further ado my
last schews for 2009.
Signs You're At A Lame New Year's Eve Party
Hints and tips to let you know if you are at a really bad party this year...
To give it a Times Square feel, everyone is groped, fondled and pick-pocketed
The ''Party Hats'' look suspiciously like stolen traffic cones
There''s a "Happy 1995" sticker on the packete of shrimp you''ve been eating all night
It''s January 6th
Prison regulations require lights out at 10:00 pm
The guests have decided to start the midnight countdown at 10,000
At midnight everyone gathers around to watch your Uncle Earl''s pants drop
You hear a guy doing a count down before using the bathroom
The ''Champagne'' tastes suspiciously like apple juice mixed with Alka Seltzer
Did you know: New Years Eve customs around the world.
In Spain, they eat twelve grapes at midnight, one for good luck for each month of the new year.
While the adults sip champagne, the kids can each get their own special glass with twelve grapes
inside and look forward to a whole year of fun.
Shortly after midnight in Scotland, people pay a visit to their neighbors -- a practice called first-footing
-- often bearing small gifts. It's considered especially lucky if your first guest of the new year is a tall, (marie likey)
dark, and handsome man.
The Japanese spend December holding "forget the year" parties, letting go of past problems and concerns, and even
scrubbing their house clean. At midnight, temples strike 108 gongs, one for each of the human weaknesses.
You might not have a gong, but if you've had an especially difficult year, today might be a good time for kids to say
goodbye to difficult or hurt feelings.
In Greece they serve Vassilopitta, a special cake baked with a silver or gold coin inside.
It's considered lucky to get the piece with the hidden coin (assuming you don't accidentally eat it, that is!).
What's all that noise? In the Philippines, kids jump up and down at midnight so that they'll grow tall in the new year.
They also wear polka dots and eat round fruit, which is said to bring prosperity. If your kids are really into jumping,
tell them that Danish kids jump off chairs at midnight, which is said to banish bad spirits and bring good luck.
In Central and South American countries like Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela, people buy brightly colored underwear.
Red and yellow are especially popular colors. Red is thought to bring money in the new year, yellow, love.
Are you sick of making the same resolutions year after year and yet you never keep them?
Here are some resolutions that you can actually accomplish! Enjoy! =;-D
10. Read less.
9. I want to gain weight. Put on at least 30 pounds.
8. Stop exercising. Waste of time.
7. Watch more TV. I've been missing some good stuff.
6. Procrastinate more.
5. Drink. Drink some more.
4. Start being superstitious.
3. Spend more time at work.
2. Stop bringing lunch from home: I should eat out more.
and last but not least...
1. Take up a new habit: maybe smoking!
All of us here at Mafia Mikes wish each and every one of you a joyous 2010.
.... and from me, your ever attentive barmaid, I wish for you to
LIVE, LOVE, and LAUGH as much as you can.
Marie
