Get out your pointy, rubber chin-strapped, party hat. Warm up your paper blow horn. Dust off your dancing shoes.
It's New Year's Eve!
Regardless of how you celebrate: watching the ball drop in Times Square (or from your couch), partaking in all you can eat and drink offers at a local bar, or staying safe at home, surrounded by friends and loved ones (or completely alone), odds are you will end the evening with a toast and a kiss and a song. More precisely, this song:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
In honor of acquaintances, old and new, I bring you today's trivia:
Who wrote the 10-stanza poem from which the above verses are drawn?
And today's bonus trivia: Which Young Guns movie includes a scene where the boys return home from a New Year's Eve celebration to find one of their own murdered?
I will drink two tequila rose shots in honor of the winner of today's trivia questions. Good luck!

My wild guesses are Robert Burns and II. Happy New Year.
