Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

The question should be, how is the rest of the world doing on fulfilling my predictions.  The answer is, not very well.  And I am very upset about that right now.   angry

I didn't participate (testers are notoriously averse to predicting--we TEST) but it looks like Paddy/Riley was right on the money.

I predict semi-Global Warming starting about March 1st.

Looks like I've done pretty good so far Wink

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Why is Paddy missing out on this perfect opportunity to rightfully gloat?

I suspect Paddy is no longer with us.  But then, maybe he got that little job, and just doesn't have time for us anymore.
