"We'll raise a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne!" "Did you ever stop to consider..." "What the heck is 'auld lang syne,' anyway? And why is everyone always drinking to it?"

It basically means “the good old days”, even though a lot of those days weren’t very good!

Reminds me of an old joke that went something like:
The Ensign ran up to the Captain of the Navy ship at sea, excitedly trying to tell the Captain something but only managed to blubber. The Captain ordered the Ensign, “What is it? Sing it out!”
The Ensign stopped, cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and sang:
“Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind,
The Admiral’s fallen overboard,
And he’s half a mile behind!"

“Old long time” is probably a literal translation.

Well for goodness’ sake! I mean, really, you have to drink to SOMETHING!
