We tend to get inundated this time of year with “Best of” and “Worst of” lists. We also get lists of different predictions made by some pundit, reporter, dude hanging out in his mama’s basement smoking weed all day, and other miscellaneous soothsayers.
Some are at least somewhat serious.
Some involve “sports”. Those where people drive real fast and turn left a lot. Others that are vaguely homoerotic and feature sweaty men rolling around on the floor. All things Olympics. Plus lots of boutique sports that people outside of the UK, India, & Australia cannot even fathom.
Then we have the “psychics”. Also some kooks.
Lastly, we have the Gold Standard of Predictors – The Weekly World News.
I don’t know how much any of this matters. We have less than a year as it is until December 21, 2012 (12/21/12 – tell me that is merely a coincidence).
Some of you people may have predictions of your own, so put on your wizard hats, dig up the mayonnaise jar from under Funk & Wagnall’s porch, massage your inner sooth, and prophesy. Let us all know what to expect.

I think that Dilbert put his finger on the problem(s) today.
OC thread is open.
I knew there was something odd going on there.
Ya can’t make this stuff up Two former participants in the CIA’s Mars visitation program of the early 1980’s have confirmed that U.S. President Barack H. Obama was enrolled in their Mars training class in 1980 and was among the young Americans from the program who they later encountered on the Martian surface after reaching Mars via “jump room.” Hard… Read more »
Hamous should be proud. Apparently, Attorney General Kevin Cuccinelli reads his stie and read my misgivings (bold below is mine): Yesterday, Virginia’s Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli injected himself into the controversy over the failure of several Republican candidates to access the presidential primary ballot. Cuccinelli planned to petition the state legislature to change the rules to allow anyone who qualifies… Read more »
I want the fourth one.
#81 – Yates aint too bad off – AND – his backup ‘Delhomme’ did a pretty GOOD Job!
I just heard that our latest starting quarterback, TJ Yates, went down with an injury today.
I think that being a quarterback for the Texans is like being a red shirt on Star Trek.
Yea Packers. What a game that didn’t matter in the big picture but surely was sweet to win.
I thought I was one of a small group of people who actually hate the song “Imagine” by John Lennon. Then I read this piece. Best quote: And how about “Imagine all the people/Living for today?” Yeah, he’s put his finger on our problem – too many people planning ahead and preparing for the future. This is the kind of… Read more »
Texans will play Bengals next week, date and time TBA later tonight.
Obama’s vacation cottage is way better than anything your could even hope to live in.
Ever.
Well I have the lap-top in the kitchen so I can cook my black-eyed peas with ham hock and cabbage with deer, Polish sausage, rice and corn bread. Yum-Yum! 😀
RE: #52
Shamaal put scare quotes around his New Year’s greeting.
I can tell he is already up to something and we know it is no good.
In my attempt to find the church, I turned up Our Blessed Lady of Nativity Church on 8th Avenue in Mount Vernon, NY with meeting schedules posted for Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. So I can see why Bobo would be interested in them.
Happy New Year everyone. 😀
I wondered the same thing, and I think that Bob used that same sign in the past. ~ Interesting.
My new year got off to a stumbling start, as on my way out for some groceries early this morning, I stopped by the home of an HOA nazi, to drop off the subdivision Christmas signs, as I am now an ex-board-Nazi. Jumped out, locking my purse and keys in my truck. My spare car key was in my purse,… Read more »
How come the logo on that church sign looks like Bobo42’s gravatar?
I really dig the word usage error. That would garner an instant “F” in Professor JP Morgan’s English class.
heh
New post up for the new year.
Happy New Year and don’t be a loser (defined at about the 6:20 minute mark) in 2012.
I want my own personal Genie as long as she looks like Barbara Eden did in I Dream of Jeannie
Government stooopidity on full display. HEADLINE: Mt. Washington (Pittsburg) Parking Space Assessed At Nearly $300,000 /SNIP The value of his 18-by-10-foot parking space on Mt.

Good morning 2012 and Hamsters. Cleared off overnight and dried up the misty stuff thanks to another real front coming through so it was 53 and crisp at 6. A perfect winter day awaits. Thank you, Lord.
As we awake with eyes so bleary, From the year past, feeling weary, We turn our eyes toward the year emerging, With Gingrich falling and Santorum surging, Potential vote splitting And Occupiers sitting – What will the future bring? Will there be a brokered convention? The Mayan “forecast” bring apprehension, The Middle East becomes more contentious, While the Obamas become… Read more »

Happy New Year Hammies!
Hey ya Shammy, I’ve had that feeling someone was watching. 😀
Happy New Year!

A blessed new year for all!!!!!!!

To each of you and all of yours from me and mine, thank you for the enlightenment and entertainment of the past year and our very best wishes for your prosperity and health throughout the days ahead in accordance His will.
Hi Shamaal. I’m surprised to see you here. It’s been a while.
Happy New Year to you, sir.
With guests over I have to “sneek” in this message in to my online friends. Happy New Year, hamsters. You’re one spectacular group of people.
“As 2011 comes to an end and we look forward to 2012, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.”
Merry New Year to all you people.
Differences in how men & women shower.
Pretty much work-safe.
This explains the situation rather well: $385 dollars saved in the budget.
Yep, something for our legislators to be proud of, all right.

Yes, I agree. I was thinking this earlier. I shall make a resolution to try not to be so cryptic with my links…..
….unless I want to trap some unsuspecting soul in weird link hell…..
/heh heh heh
#43 TT I feel so neglected. My dear Tedtam, might I be so bold as to suggest you try a hint as to the contents under a link? “This is so cool” with no intriguing hint about rings and carrots, unicorn diet, buckyballs or whatever, needs a pick-me-up to get more hits. I know when I am in a hurry,… Read more »
The amazing multitalented Hugh Laurie is loving the blues on PBS right now.
Arrived back home shortly after 7 from the 5 pm dinner seating at the wonderful neighborhood restaurant that has such great holiday buffets. Very full we were and toting carryout boxes with much of my entree and two desserts. We can probably manage the cheesecake shortly before the witching hour, but the main course remains will have to wait until… Read more »
Watching the AMC zombie marathon, they are running a movie trailer for John Carter. Looks like somebody blew a lot of money for a movie buying ticket demographic that never heard of Barsoom or tried to play Jetan. Pity, I thought that was E.R Burroughs at his best.
Darren, that carrot-ring story is about the third story referenced today that I have previously linked to.
I feel so neglected.
Just caught the strip tease scene in True Lies. Oh yeah.
Hail to liberalism.
(Newt is still done though)
Years ago I lost my first wedding ring in the neighborhood dumpster. Perhaps if I was more diligent in taking the garbage out it will pop up. A Swedish woman’s recent toiling in her garden turned up a rather unexpected harvest when she pulled a carrot out of the ground ‘wearing’ the wedding ring she had lost back in 1995.… Read more »
If the repubs nominate another RINO for the presidency I think this will be the result.
