NYE Question: How much would you expect to pay for a ticket to a NYE party (dinner, dancing, etc)? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 11:08 23
- (Thanks all) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 11:19
- $100 and up. -- nm - Krusty Nov 21, 11:17
- if it wasn't something beyond spectacular or work wasn't picking up the cost, then not a dang thing for a run of the mill one -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 11:16
- One dollar, Drew!! -- nm - Qale Nov 21, 11:15
- These things are always a rip-off, so if it's dinner and open bar, I'll say $175. -- nm - MDH Nov 21, 11:12
- i really depends on where it is being held, if it includes food, booze, is it a charity thing, etc... But anywhere from $50-$100 depending on factors -- nm - Andie Nov 21, 11:11
- $100-$150 -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 11:11

    - ack!!!!! that is a shitty party!!!! -- nm - groiny Nov 21, 11:12 6
      - I'm assuming drinks are separate. Here are the details of one we are considering, and it's usually a "dinner and show" venue. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 21, 11:15 5
        
        I have not gone out on NYE in years, too many drunkards on the roads. - groiny Nov 21, 11:17 2
        
        We usually don't either, for the same reason. - JaxSean Nov 21, 11:18 1
        
        my opinion, it is worth the $ if they have a shuttle to a hotel or it is in a hotel and you get the room. - groiny Nov 21, 11:21
        
        That sounds like a *ton* of food. yikes. -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 11:16
        
        Being as it includes a full show, and fancy food, that seems not crazy at all. -- nm* - Andie Nov 21, 11:16
  - it really also depends on the venue. How much is dinner for 2 at the place? - decline Nov 21, 11:11
- 150 without hotel. -- nm - groiny Nov 21, 11:09 4
  - that's a lot. -- nm - Andie Nov 21, 11:11 3
    - all you can drink + food????? -- nm - groiny Nov 21, 11:11 2
      - *does* it include drinks? -- nm - Andie Nov 21, 11:12 1
        
        I would not go to one that did not. -- nm - groiny Nov 21, 11:12

- I saw the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders movie. It starred Jane Seymour and she was so excited to make the squad even though she was a reporter sent - Diva Nov 21, 11:04 5
  - How could you spoil that movie! Since it re-airs so frequently and so many people mention that they want to see it! How could you! - crash davis Nov 21, 11:06 4
    - Everybody often mentions how much they want to see it!! I couldn't help myself! - Diva Nov 21, 11:09 3
      - Yes! And being the idiot kid that I was, I think I was more excited to see Lauren than Jane Seymour - crash davis Nov 21, 11:13 2
        
        I can't believe I remembered Lauren Tewes was in it. Maybe she had an eating disorder or something in it. -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 11:15 1
        
        I'd totally forgotten. WTG! -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 11:17

  - that does not count! -- nm - groiny Nov 21, 10:48

  - True, I was more going for success on air rather than "good." Side note, I also liked Scream Season 1. -- nm - MDH Nov 21, 10:38
- I hear this Westworld one is good.. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 21, 10:28

  - HAHAHAHA! - Every parent, ever Nov 21, 10:24
- They never are. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 21, 10:19
- I've gotten really good at it. She hated it at first and still fusses sometimes, but mostly is cool with it now. -- nm - volnelk Nov 21, 10:18

    - i didn't even bother to read the question correctly. heh-heh... -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 10:27
- Only two coaches who have lost 100 games or more in NFL history have career losing records. Name them -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 10:18 2

    - I could make a whole test of trivia questions inspired by Jeff Fisher's quest for most losses in NFL history -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 10:26

So maybe I should wait until a new page but can someone sum up the North Dakota/water/reservation scenario? - volnelk Nov 21, 10:07 11
- White folks originally protested so it wouldn't have to go through white folk land, so now it's being pushed through First Nation land. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 10:09 10
  - The pipeline is not on tribal land. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 21, 10:13 9
    - *shrug* yes, it is. Even when it was routed the other way. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 10:15 8
      - No, it's not. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 21, 10:16 7
        
        Then what's the issue? -- nm - volnelk Nov 21, 10:17 5
        
        It will travel under the river that the tribe gets their water from, and the fears that a leak in the pipeline will contaminate it. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 21, 10:19 4
        
        But legally they are able to proceed? -- nm - volnelk Nov 21, 10:35 2
        
        In October, the situation was that the federal government suspended permission for the pipeline to go under the Missouri, so the company and the state - mara Nov 21, 10:39
        
        As far as I know, yes. There's an ongoing lawsuit to stop it, but I don't think they were given an injunction to halt it while the lawsuit is ongoing. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 21, 10:37
        
        Ah. Thanks for explaining. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 10:22
        
        The shrug was meant to indicate that all of America is built on tribal land. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 10:17
