Your picture also kinda resembles a flaming asshole which is also an apt description of 2009.

I kinda liked 2009. (Then again, I was not faced with nearly the travails you were.)

Even so, I do love your (very fine) rendering of 2009 and its acorn-squash-shaped mouth going up in flames.

Happy New Year!

This graphical representation is much better than the one I attempted of me taking a dump in 2009's coffee pot.

Amen to burning 2009! Someone should make a shirt that says "I made it through 2009 and all I got was this stupid Snuggie"...or something to that effect. Seriously, what is up with those things?

PS. Whenever someone says "don't look at that last one" I always do lol

Jennifer can have my Snuggie that I did NOT want, but got anyway.

2010-01-06T15:29:28.142-08:00

i can't agree more - out with 2009 and good riddance! A crap year for me too .... can't get far away enough from it!

All the best for 2010!

2010-01-06T12:03:03.514-08:00

You described 2009 so well. And burning it alive is very fitting.

I asked Santa for a Snuggie, but I got a gift card to Bob Evans instead. I guess gorging myself on an open-face turkey sandwich will give me the fuel to burn warmly.

P.S.: I'm all about telling my son, "Santa isn't real. Your friends are naive and have been lied to." I should probably try your approach about "... if he's in your heart, he's real," but I don't want to leave any potential loopholes where he might need additional therapy. I'm sure he's going to need it anyway.

You're a strange man, aren't you, with strange skills.

Love the way you think.

They give you colored markers at work?!?

Lucky.

They took all mine away after the sniffing incident of 2008.

2010-01-06T04:50:57.959-08:00

Jay, did you forget I didn't have sweet tea for TWO WEEKS? That is by far the biggest tragedy of 2009 to date. Don't come to me with your missing mp3 and no hot water issues. Pshhh.

2010-01-05T22:09:22.967-08:00

I have to agree that 2009 truly sucked and it is fitting that it meets it end by burning alive. My only problem with the pic, which I thought was very good by the way, is that there isn't some thought bubble to house the gut-wrenching screams of agony.

Happy New Year Jay!

2010-01-05T20:46:15.703-08:00

I enjoy your graphical talents, Jay. That's a word, right?

Burn, 2009, burn!

Happy New Year Jay! Awesome pic.

Happy New Year Jay!

Awesome pic.

You should be given some type of award for having to endure such a trying year....a misplaced MP3 players, oh the HORRORS. Poor you. :0)

You're right, everything in life is relative, including shitty years.

Hey, perhaps 2010 will be a banner one for you?

2010-01-05T16:34:49.599-08:00

Amen Jay. Good riddance 09! And I'm sorry about your August 7th MP3 player incident. It probably had something to do with my birthday and my having the worst luck ever in 2009.... maybe it rubbed off on everyone I know. Sorry if that's the case!

Dude, how are you still even ALIVE after not having hot water for an entire weekend.

Come on. Billy Mays?

2010-01-05T13:20:46.747-08:00

Wow - the August 7th MP3 player fiasco sounds TRYING. I love 2009's hands.

Also New England has the same saying "wait five minutes and the weather will change"...
