Stay Thirsty, My Friends

By Wyatt Earp | December 31, 2011

Considering my mastery of the blogosphere, my Twitter popularity, and my infectious charm, you would think my New Year’s Eve would be booked solid with A-List parties and extravagant soirees.

Wouldn’t you?

Sadly – as I have told every online friend before they meet me in person – Internet Wyatt is much more interesting than Real-Life Wyatt.

As has been the case for about a decade, we will be spending New Year’s Eve at home. For the second year in a row, Kyle and Erik will try to stay up until midnight – no small task for them. In the interim, we’ll have a few snacks, watch some TV, and play a few games. And since Kyle recently had the D.A.R.E. Officer in his classroom a few weeks ago, he’ll complain if I crack open a beer – although the missus and I have a bottle of bubbly, just in case.

So envy me, America! I am the Least Interesting Man in the World.

  1. He doesn’t always drink malts, but when he does, it’s always rick, chocolatey Ovaltine.

    He’s Wyatt, the Whitest Man In The World.

  2. Old NFO says:

    Um… BS Wyatt :-) Just sayin… But Happy New Year to you and yours!

    Hey there Wyatt!! I haven’t gone out in YEARS for NYEve.
    Back when I was married – no, the second time, mrs. realwest and I would have friends over, play ROCK AND ROLL really loud and dink wine and such until the Ball dropped. Did that for about 10 years straight and the guests figured out that with 30 minutes of the Ball falling in Times Square, they needed to leave cause we were going to bed.
    Now I just pig out on some good eats (don’t drink anymore) and try to stay awake until the Ball drops! LOL!
    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO WYATT, ALL THE EARPS and all of Wyatt’s friends out here!!
    See ya next year!!

  4. TonyF says:

    I go to bed by 9:30. I have to get my beauty sleep.

    Oh, and BTW, lucky me. I retired yesterday. Wahoo!!!

  5. Enano Siniestro says:

    I’ll be working my shift tonight, celebrating the new year while ducking from fully-automatic celebratory fire coming from Mexico, where guns are banned. Both the cartels and the military open up to celebrate. Fun stuff!

    Happy New Year Wyatt and to all here. I’ll have my beer next year.

  6. Wyatt Earp says:

    AD – “The secret message was, ‘Drink More Ovaltine.’”

    Old NFO – You’re just saying that because I send you checks.

    Real – We have snacks and stuff, and the kids are watching reruns of America’s Funniest Home Videos. I’m tracking the IIHF World Junior Hockey game between the U.S. and Canada. Vancouver Grant and I have $10 riding on it, and the Americans are losing already. Dang.

    TonyF – Congratulations!

  7. Loaded Dice in Vegas says:

    Wyatt,

    You are one of the luckiest guys in the world.

    To everyone who reads the blog: Have the Best Year Ever.

    God Bless all of US.

    Stay Safe…………….

    It’s amateur night, staying home is smart!!(Which means I am staying home also!

  9. Jack Rackim says:

    A Happy New Year Wyatt and to all of his followers.
    Wyatt, I like your blog, your writing and stories. I admire you for the tough profession you are in. But I have to say, I think I have you beat for the least interesting man in the world, or at least the tri state area here.

  10. fozzy says:

    I’m staying home to. New Year’s Eve is the Special Olympics of drinking. Everybody tries their best but they just aren’t that good at it. And then they try to drive.

    Anyways it just doesn’t feel like a “new” year. Tomorrow will be grim, gray and cold. The calendar should start in the spring.

  11. Murphy says:

    Happy New Year Wyatt and Family.

  12. Rick says:

    Happy New Year and May God Bless you and your family

  13. Skip says:

    To you and yours, sir.
    2032 here in Kali and the boolits should start fallin in about 2345.

  14. Ingineer66 says:

    Happy New Year, Wyatt. We are staying home tonight too. Here’s to a new year of reading your amazing blog talents.

  15. Wyatt Earp says:

    LDIV – Thank you sir. Have a great year.

    Danny – Truer words were never spoken.

    Jack – Judges? . . .

    Fozzy – Or June 1st.

    Murphy – And to you and yours.

    Rick – Thanks. You too.

    Skip = Beware of collateral damage.

    Ingineer66 – Wow, drunk already?

  16. Jon Brooks says:

    Happy New Year to one and all. And thank God the holidays are over.

  17. kaveman says:

    I partied like it was 1999.

    Woke up this morning naked in my neighbor’s yard covered in BBQ sauce!

    Yep, time for a dog tongue shower.

  18. Bob G. says:

    Wyatt:
    But you’re in such DAMN good company(present company included in that mix)…nothing wrong with THAT, eh?
    :)

    Have a Guinness for ME.
    And roll safe out there.

  19. Jim says:

    The kids here have no problem staying up, it’s dear ol’ dad that’s ready to drop before the ball does.

  20. I met The Most Interesting Man in the World at an Operation Gratitude session. He gave me some great advice on arm-wrestling Fidel Castro (short form: “Don’t win”).

  21. We stayed at home too. I fixed beef with homemade egg noodles, mashed potatoes and my mom’s salad with her top secret salad dressing, oh, and rolls.
    After dinner we just watched the telly until midnight, and pretty much called it an evening. I could barely take the excitement. heh
