What were you doing EXACTLY 10 years ago?

[Bread]

Should be pretty easy to remember as it was leading up to the year 2000...Y2K. Blah blah blah.

I was with a couple of friends at a Shells restaurant, a local seafood chain. I had stolen a bunch of gift certificates from my job for them, they were just going to expire anyway....and we sat there for about 6 hours eating lobster and drinking liquor. Then I paid with a handful of these cards.

Had about 20 left still, ($10 value each) and started handing them out to people at the bar. Man was I loved for just that one moment. Then we hightailed it outta there before the manager called the police on us.

I then went to a dumb party, ended up at a gay bar for a little bit, and that was about it!

I went to a wedding/new years eve party 10 years ago today.

Was a pretty big deal that night, got drunk and sang karaoke - Steely Dan songs.

The bride and groom lived together for 8 years and had two children before they got officially hitched, they separated and divorced less than six months after the wedding.

I think there is a lesson there.

[pavyracer]

I was home covered in a blanket with tons of food, 3 cases of batteries, flashlights, candles sitting in a corner waiting for chaos once the clocks turned to midnight in anticipation of Y2K.

What a fluke that was!

[onthewhat]

Don't remember, was 12 years old

[MrMonkey]

Probably same as tonight except no SBR!

[Deuce]

I was at my parents place with my buddies, brothers, etc. We were 14-15 years old. I remember as soon as it was midnight I flushed the toilet to see if it still worked.

My old man didn't buy into the hysteria. We bought a single jug of water just in case. My buddies parents went all out buying shit like Paver. They still have some beans left and noodles because of it.

[Mudcat]

I'm sure I was home alone drinking.

I am an alcoholic who had been sober through a good chunk of the 90's but I had a big relapse that lasted over the time in question.

So, although I don't remember specifically, I'm sure that's what I did. Drink alone at home. Beer and sipping whiskey. Watch TV. Probably pop a bunch of pills. Smoke some dope if I had it.

I never wanted to go out to New Year's Eve parties. Amateur hour for drinkers.



Tonight I will be opening up a church for an addictions recovery meeting. Don't know if I'll end up sitting there by myself.

[Bread]

This is good fellas. Right now it's all about the healing.

Let it all out. I won't let you down.

I was 9years old

So?

The question asked is: "What were you doing"? not how facking old were you.

I thought Jews were supposed to be smart?

[Shark79]

Working for another book.

[Nicky Santoro]

all i rmember was how anxious that time was.. we were all in suspense..we had no idea what was going to happen at midnight. was the world going to end.. were they going to put a bomb in times square, were all the lights going to shut off, were the pc's not going to work anymore because of the date.. were we going to run out of food or soemthing.. we were told to stock up on food just in case..

turned out everything went just fine..

[jellobiafra]

I then went to a dumb party, ended up at a gay bar for a little bit, and that was about it!

Whoa whoa whoa. Hold on a second there buddy....

"...and that was about it!" ???

I guess we'll just have to use our imagination.

Most of us pretended we didn't see that part.

No, I don't want to "imagine" what Bread and his new friends at the gay bar did with their "dingers" as Rubyn calls them.

[Mudcat]

yada, yada, yada

[mcbaseball10]

Whoa whoa whoa. Hold on a second there buddy.... "...and that was about it!" ??? I guess we'll just have to use our imagination.

What's worse, the fact that we all just accepted that bread was at a gay bar like it was a normal practice of his, or that he was actually there?

[jellobiafra]

I just think it's funny he tried to slip it in at the end, and then gloss it over with an "and that's about it."

There's more to this story I'm sure. And no, I don't think any of us really want to read about it.

Half the posters had not reached puberty.

I love gay bars. They are a riot.

Plus, it's fun to make all the boys wanty, but they never touchy! Teehee.

So its ok to admit you are a cocktease?

[Dunder]

I lived in Hong Kong at the time but was back in the UK visiting family for Christmas/New Year.
My daughter´s first birthday was 1st, Jan 2000.

[slacker00]

Sitting at home with a bottle of Gin, waiting for the world to end. I might have called up an old gf after I got plastered. I passed out at some point.

Also, I was sewing up the championship in my fantasy football league. That's the last year I ever played that stupid crap.

[mcbaseball10]

I was at home sicker than a dog watching on the couch. I didn't buy into the whole Y2K bull. Man, the truth can really be boring sometimes. I need to come up with something a little better than that to tell my kids.

[SBR_John]

About a month prior I created a little one page website that I called SportsbookReview.com. I worked on it right through Christmas and New Years.

[Chi_archie]

I think I had a bad stomach flu..... had it for a week. I think it was that year. is that the year Mario Lemieux made his comeback? I missed his first game back, due to that flu

[sickler]

Holed up with a stripper.

Not good times
