I am not your consolation prize. A prize or gift given to a person who does not win the game, but deserves something just for playing. What's so bad about this? You got Dick Clark, that's tradition. Dick Clark is a famous TV personality who has been hosting New Year's eve celebrations for decades. The Knicks. The professional basketball team for New York City. I don't know why I let you drag me into this. "To drag" is to pull, so to drag someone into something is to force them into a situation that they didn't want to get involved in. This is the perfect time to catch up on my window shopping. "To catch up on" something is to finally do it after having not done so for a certain period of time. "Window shopping" is to look at store windows to see what is for sale, but not necessarily to buy anything. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. A "crinkle" is a wrinkle, and "nuts" is a good slang word for crazy. "Should old acquaintance be forgot..." An "acquaintance" is simply a person that one knows, although it is sometimes used for a friend who is not particularly close. The lyrics above are from a classic song that is sung every New Years. We had this enormous coconut cake "Enormous" is extremely big, or huge. It makes it very soggy. "Soggy" means soaked, which is what cereal becomes when it sits in milk for a few minutes. The coconut soaks up a lot of that stuff. "To soak up" is to absorb.

1) Is it true that it's difficult for men and women to be friends because "the sex gets in the way"? What about in your own country? 2) Do most people really enjoy being "out there" and dating, or would they prefer to be at home with one "significant other"? 3) Do Harry and Sally make a good couple? 4) How would you describe Harry and Sally to somebody who has never met them? 5) The media once talked of "the war between the sexes."
