Lightening Up
These are hideously serious times, but when I ran across this little list yesterday and it made me laugh I remembered how important it is not to hang out all the time in the rage end of the spectrum of emotions.
HISTORY 2035
- Castro finally dies at age 112; Cuban cigars can now be imported legally but President Chelsea Clinton has banned all smoking.- Spotted Owl plague threatens Western North America crops & livestock.
- Last remaining Fundamentalist Muslim dies in the American Territory of the Middle East (formerly known as Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon)
- Afghanistan still closed off; physicists estimate it will take at least ten more years before radioactivity decreases to safe levels.
- George Z. Bush says he will run for President in 2036.
- 35 year study: diet and exercise is the key to weight loss.
- Texas executes last remaining citizen.
- Upcoming NFL draft likely to focus on use of mutants.
- Baby conceived naturally…..scientists stumped.
- Authentic year 2000 “chad” sells at Sotheby’s for $4.6 million.
- Ozone created by electric cars now killing thousands in Los Angeles.
- Average height of NBA players now nine foot seven inches.
- Microsoft announces it has perfected its newest version of Windows so it crashes BEFORE installation is completed.
- New California law requires that all nail clippers, screwdrivers, and baseball bats be registered by January 2036.
Deep Thought: Maybe it’s my imagination, but food seemed to taste better when I was a kid. Also, food would sing and dance and play musical instruments. But that could also have been my imagination.
Today I am grateful for: Bowls
Guess the Movie: “Walt Whitman once said, ‘I see great things in baseball. It’s our game. The American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us.’ You could look it up.”
Answer: Bull Durham, 1988
Winner: thenarrator
Polls Today Kerry 255/Bush 273 Not much change but the EVP mentioned this riveting article by a University of Michigan professor about what would it be like if the Iraq War was in America.
End of Day – 8:25 pm

- = Dentist said I have to have not one, but two crown lengthening surgeries and two new crowns after that.

It would be hard for me to pick out a favorite…but the diet and weight loss study is neck and neck with mutants and the NFL draft!
Bull Durham
it’s vitally important to keep laughing. And if Americans ever really experienced war (we haven’t, unless you lived in the south 1861-1865, even in WWII we had fewer deaths in four years than France had in the spring of 1940, and no invasion), we’d have a different attitude about it. There’s a very good reason Europeans want no part of this crap.
: ) OGod! Another Bush!
Oh yeah it is scrubs. Guess you can tell i don’t watch it very much.
Funny! I think there is some sort of prophetic items in that list.. lets hope another Bush isn’t one of them! I can see Castro living to 112..
i needed that laugh! thanks!
I did read the article you mentioned…very to the point…
interesting ! * /N *
the list is too fun. and isn’t it so ludicrous that one might think America is capable of it?
George Z. Bush v. Chelsea for presidency,eh? Is Bill still around in his 90′s to stump for her?
Chelsea? Naaaah. I’m thinking Amy Carter.
