That's about it, really.

Hope 2004 brings you all much happiness and alcohol. (Not necessarily in that order, you understand...)

-'Merry New Year! I am Nunja Eebacor...exchange student from Camaroon! Hahahahahaha...'

-'HAPPY New Year...In this country we say HAPPY New Year'.

-'Thank-you for correcting my english which stinks'.

Being that I live in Las Vegas and supposedly Las Vegas is the #1 place to ring in the New Year (now).

I will be wishing everyone a Happy New Year from my home - which is far enough away from "The Strip" - to where I won't hear the 300,000 + drunk people screaming thier heads off.

Happy New Year!

Hey Dennis- We're hearing that the strip will be closed to fly-over air traffic on New Years Eve. Hope you don't have an unwanted "event".

Haoli Makahiki Hou" is the way we welcome in the new year here in Hawaii and I entend to each of you happiness and prosperity during the new year.

Let's not rush things!

Happy New Year to all o' y'all, too.

Let's hope that 2004 is full of wonderful things -- and let's all do our part to make it so!

Here's hoping for good times, good health and good movies!

Cheers! [beer]

We now return you to 2003, already in progress...

Back in my day we didn't have "new year". If we screwed anything up we'd have to go all the way back and redo the entire year over again!

I received this from one of my Canadian cousins and wanted to share with the film-tech family.

May you be blessed with good neighbors who are there for you when you need them, and who are not around too much when you don't need them.

May the world enjoy a year that is free of violence, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires and drought

May you have a spouse, or a child or a friend, or a grandchild, who loves you,
even though they really know you. And may you learn that giving love away freely without strings is the surest way of receiving it in return.

May your insurance pay whatever your doctor charges, without insisting on any further investigation, and may the Income Tax Authorities accept whatever you pay, without insisting on any further investigation too.

May your bank statement and your budget both balance, and may they both include generous amounts for charity.

May you receive a letter from a long lost friend, and a kiss from a long indifferent spouse or child.

May you feast your eyes often in this New Year on green trees, on blue waters, and best of all, on the happy face of a child or grandchild, whom you have just embraced.

May we keep rage off of the freeways, and out of the workplace, and out of our homes, and direct it instead at racism, at poverty and at all the evils that we politely tolerate.

May we learn in this new year that what really counts the most is not the years but the days, not the machines we have in our lives, but the people we have in our lives, not how much we can accumulate but how much we can share, and with whom.

May you have enough to give you contentment, and may you have enough left over, so that you can be generous.

We wish for us what we wish for you. A HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR

Merry New Year to everyone here on FT!!! [beer]

John, do you really mean to say that 'Trading Places' is superior to other, later Eddie Murphy movies such as 'The Nutty Professor' and 'Daddy Day Care'? Are you seriously insinuating that his movies have actually....gotten worse over the years?
