Good Riddance to 2008

Yesterday the 2nd annual Good Riddance Day was held in Times Square, allowing locals and tourists alike to shred and smash away their bad memories. Just like last year, there were some who brought too many burdens to the industrial strength shredder, but everyone still managed to excorsize their demons from 2008. Some popular ones included George Bush and the Detroit Lions; and Jay Ballestero won $250 for the Most Creative entry: saying good riddance to all of the unmatched socks in his drawer. What do you want to say goodbye to before January 1st?

How about good riddance to stupid things like Good Riddance Day? How about getting a life, folks?

"I want to say good riddance to: NO MORE BABY MAMMA'S!"
What on earth does that mean?

It seems that if you wanted to get rid of NO MORE BABY MOMMAS, the alternative would be BABY MOMMAS.

good riddance to possessive nouns when you really mean plural.

Are BABY MOMMAS all gone? That's the only way you can say Good Riddance to them.
