Overnight Open Thread - New Year's Eve Edition

Happy New Year All!

New Year's Eve 1965-Style

The Ultimate List of 2010 Lists
More interesting lists than you can shake a broken bottle at. Be prepared to get lost for quite a while in all of them.

The Best Images of 2010
Some you've seen, some you haven't.

Katy Perry Is A Natural Beauty
So new husband, Russel Brand, tweeted a picture of Katy waking up without her makeup. Rookie error. He quickly tried to pulled it back but this is the internets. Nothing ever gets lost.

How They Celebrate New Year's Eve in Northern Europe
Apparently this minor English skit is now a European tradition. Go figure.

The Abridged Version of the Infamous Star Wars Christmas Special
It's been cut down to 5 minutes which is about all you need to see to appreciate the exquisite awfulness of it. I watched the entire thing a few years back and no I didn't achieve enlightenment or gain any special powers. Mostly I just wanted my two hours back. And to strangle any network executive even marginally involved with the special.

The Yahoo clique. Are you worthy?
