GAA moment? The moment when I realised (after following it all evening via Twitter) that the Minor hurlers had beaten Cork in Pairc Uí Rínn. First time we had ever beaten Cork in Cork at any Championship level. No surprise where the team ended up.
Non-GAA sporting moment? Seeing Luis Suarez's second goal against West Brom. Genius at work.
Non-sporting moment? This (http://www.comeonthedeise.ie/2013/07/02/presenting-the-2038-liam-mccarthy-cup-winning-waterford-captain/).
Man? See link above.
Woman? For the 12th year running, my wife - although for an extra reason, see link above.
TV show? Archer.
Movie? Casino Royale was pretty good. Can you tell I don't watch movies?
Song? Get Lucky by Daft Punk. It's all true!

Gaaboard thread? Ballaghaderreen - what is the gig? (http://gaaboard.com/board/index.php?topic=21600.0) It's really from 2012 but I only saw it in 2013. Absolutely hilarious, but genuinely insightful as well.
Gaaboard post? ballinaman for stepping outside his tribe and standing up for Justice (http://gaaboard.com/board/index.php?topic=21600.0).

Was it a year to remember or just another number? See link above.

For you personally:

GAA moment? Hurling finals. Special mention for Stephen O’Neill’s points against Kildare in the League Semi Final. Pure genius.
Non-GAA sporting moment? Retirement of Red Nose
Non-sporting moment? Wife to me- ‘It’s positive.’
Man? Roy Keane – the craic never stops with that fella – he’s a tabloid dream.
Woman? The Mrs. The only significant woman in my life.
TV show? Don’t watch a great deal of TV but really enjoyed ‘The Fall.’ Very scary performance from Jamie Dornan. Series 2 commissioned for next year.
Movie? Only saw 2. Best was Captain Phillips. That Hanks fella can act.
Song? The kids have been singing ‘Hey ho’ and ‘When I’m Gone’ to the point where I can’t think of any others! Were they 2012?

Gaaboard thread? Always check the Running thread but the Depression thread was a highlight.
Gaaboard post? Orior and Puckeen always get a good laugh. Liked the responses to LaoisLads criticism of Anchoman yesterday!

Was it a year to remember or just another number? A year to forget for me. Can’t wait to January!
Goal for 2014? Run 5k in under 21mins and line out for the reserves after a 7 year hiatus. Long term goal would be a new job in the west.

That reminds me, in 2014 I'm going to emigrate to Jeopardy, because there appears to be plenty of work there.
