I never watch the ball anyway. One time they did a mirror ball from a crane in Birmingham... it was so bad. When the ball started down the engine went up and nobody could hear shit.
'You might be a redneck if you can't kiss your girl at midnight on New Year's because you're covering your ears to block out the crane lowering the disco ball... no, make that, 'You're DEFINITELY a redneck'.
Best of 2011 to The Treehouse, you've helped me stay sane... sorta.
