A man named Connor had to be rescued after getting stuck in a giant decorative urn at a New Year's Eve party in Mountain Brook, Alabama.

Heralding in the New Year with bombastic flair is an opportunity many celebrants look forward to.

But the hijinks seen at parties, especially at ones where a significant amount of alcohol is consumed, often lead to huge misses that can make revelers regretful and embarrassed.


One unfortunate New Year's Eve partygoer named Connor found himself stuck in 2023, so to speak, while attempting to emerge for his grand 2024 entrance.

On December 31, 2023, Casual Thusday's page on X (formerly Twitter) apprised the internet about a developing story in Alabama.

"We have a man stuck in a decorative urn at this Mountain Brook house party."
"I repeat, we have a drunk man stuck in a large decorative urn at this Mountain Brook house party."

The post concluded with "Details as they develop" with no clip of the party foul.

An update later indicated:

"He was laughing at first but now he’s starting to get upset."
"The women are trying to comfort him. There is talk of attempting to break the urn."

Social media users didn't have to imagine the mayhem, as a clip of the stunt was eventually obtained and shared on @TheWapphehouse's X page with the following caption:

"AN ANONYMOUS SOURCE SENT ME MORE VIDEO OF CONNOR STUCK IN THE URN AND GETTING CHISELED OUT I REPEAT: MORE OF CONNOR STUCK IN THE URN."


The update on Casual Thursday's thread continued describing the rescue scene.

"The host has dispatched a friend to retrieve his sledge hammer."
"My view is obscured by the gathering crowd but I can hear the tinkering of a hammer and makeshift screwdriver chisel, mixed with the frustrated, panicked grunts of the captive."

Finally, Connor was free. But at what cost?

According to the thread, the destroyed urn was alleged to be valued from "$500 to as high as $3000 US American dollars."



The expensive vase wasn't the only casualty.


"Drinking alone and having a cigarette, still pantsless in the corner of the yard," was probably not the way Connor imagined to be ringing in the new year.

After indicating Connor was sent home in an Uber, the thread concluded with the following sensible safety reminder.

"Happy New Year everyone. Stay safe out there. Remember, decorative urns always look bigger from the outside."


In honor of the New Year and of the unusual debacle, X users raised their cups to roast the poor guy.




















Here is our urn-est survivor, safe and reunited with his trousers.


It wasn't the wisest way to start the new year, but it's a stunt Connor hopes will be forgotten and never brought to mind.

Happy New Year!

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

In the wake of the election, Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has risen to a new level of fame after he was tapped as the "future of the Democratic Party" in the wake of Kamala Harris's loss.

That of course meant it was only a matter of time before all the internet's young people turned him into a meme. And THAT of course meant it was also only a matter of time before he became an object of people's thirst.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
