Tis alas one of the great mysteries of stuff. What is the difference between january 1st and december 31st? It is the point in time which tells us that squirrels are so much cooler than chipmunks.
Any other questions?

Obviously wise people like us are above such artificial time-chunking, and celebrate all the time, not just new year...

Sweet! I'm most likely going to be surrounded by booze (as is the New Years tradition). Hopefully there'll be some other food or drink or somethin'... oh well! I'll be with my girlfriend and my sisters! And I say that's enough for a good old RAmen!

And we're going to try to make freehand cut FSM cookies.
Cool idea Auntie Dee Dee, I might try that myself sometime.

Time passing.
Artificial marking of time into manageable chunks.
Indeed. But now I forgot my point.

I do that all the time. I started a "I always forget my point club" club, but then forgot why....

I'll let you join my club if I can join yours!
Or we could merge the clubs together and make a pointless bad memory club. What do you think?

Did we ever have a point?
Forget about it.
Likewise, I have tried various methods of converting others using the World Wide Web, spreading the word in and internet form, across the lines of the ether.

Seems like most people have their mind made up about FSM before they come here. It's different on the inside than the outside but I wouldn't push them. Just enjoy yourself. Maybe they will come along, maybe they won't. Anyway, welcome aboard!

What is the best way?
Between those, "Joke". Because "Joke" is close.
