Marty McFly traveled to 2015 in Back to the Future II thus proving there's no way the world ends next year.

oddly enough the one moron I know that buys into the end of the world nonsense is also an ardent Ron Paul supporter. Figure that one out.

February 29th, my buddy's birthday. He doesn't look that great for a sixteen year old.

Cats and dogs living together.....

January 1st. I've got nothing going here in the valley of the unconcerned, so let her buck.

RoeDapple 1 year, 4 months ago

Also looking forward to more harrasment by "My Three Trolls". I know if I'm pi$$in' them off they will leave everyone else alone.

RoeDapple 1 year, 4 months ago

Oops! My addition is lacking too. Four trolls. Some are so minor they are easy to forget.

RoeDapple 1 year, 4 months ago

Clamp it, thuja!

If you don't have haters, you're not doing something right. Congratulations on having 3!

labmonkey 1 year, 4 months ago

I can tell you what I am NOT looking forward to... political commercials and chest bumping rhetoric.

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 1 year, 4 months ago

The ground invasion of Iran.

And meeting Jenny. For coffee. I think.

You seriously deleted that comment? One of the things they advertise and are proud of is the butt-flap.

A new expense budget for LJW photographers that will allow them to purchase a flash unit for their camera.

misterlee 1 year, 4 months ago

Health, wealth and happiness. I'll settle for one of the three.

radiohawk 1 year, 4 months ago

The death of the Citizens United ruling, single-payer healthcare and jail time for financial and energy speculators.

May as well go for it.

Getting married in April 2012 to the love of my life!

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 1 year, 4 months ago

schula, Does your intended know that fiancé is just French for victim?

wmathews 1 year, 4 months ago

So am I Jake's victim, or is he mine? Both?

wmathews 1 year, 4 months ago

He isn't really into condiments. I will say I have never seen him eat mustard, but I have seen him eat ketchup. Therefore, he is my soul mate.

Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 4 months ago

Whitney, I believe it depends on the time of day. At dinnertime he's the victim, and at other times, it's you!

snap_pop_no_crackle 1 year, 4 months ago

In other 2012 news: "...As of Jan. 3, 2012, interstate and intergovernmental access to your child’s personal information will be practically unlimited. The federal government will have a de facto nationwide database of supposedly confidential student information...."

If idiot obama had a clue on the economy, maybe I could sell my house and head for the coast I really miss the ocean and have grown to loathe cornfields

schula 1 year, 4 months ago

R_I, yes he is aware that fiancee means victim in French.

RoeDapple 1 year, 4 months ago

I am looking forward to more angry posts by BABBOY

RoeDapple 1 year, 4 months ago

Oh Gawrsh!! She smiled at me!

(Hi Whitney!)

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 1 year, 4 months ago

Whitney, Schula. Fiancé, Fiancée is the lurer.

Never noticed that woman and wiles both begin with w?

littlexav 1 year, 4 months ago

Wow, the "natural medicine" guy cracks me up! I'm also expecting a lot of physical changes to the planet, you know, like spring, followed by summer, followed by autumn. And those coriolis winds moving the clouds all around! Tragedy looms...

CWGOKU 1 year, 4 months ago

I am looking forward to commenters leaving politics out of the OTS. And opening the bottle of Jack Daniels I got for Christmas. Good to see Whitney back

Does anybody have a BeerTender? http://beertender.usa.heineken.com/

Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 4 months ago

As a general rule, people do not believe anything you tell them that is outside of their preconceived belief system because they think they know all about it already, regardless of whether they ever studied the subject or not.

For a couple examples that are contained within the three dimensional time space continuum, when Albert Einstein postulated the General Theory of Relativity in 1907 - 1915, which superseded Newtonian Physics, virtually no physicists or anyone else believed it. Of course, today we know it is factual reality. But if you haven't studied Physics, it sounds impossible.

And then years later, when the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was presented to Albert Einstein, he didn't believe it! Of course, today we know it is factual reality. Again, if you haven't studied Physics, it sounds impossible.

Things that are outside the three dimensional time space continuum are exactly the same way. Most people just don't believe it, and eyewitness testimony means nothing.

Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 4 months ago

Of course, there are hallucinations. However, no two people will ever describe the same hallucination, and they are never (or very rarely) later proven to be factual reality across time and distance.

Other things are different, and many people will describe the same thing exactly the same way across time, sometimes even across centuries, and sometimes from a great distance, such as from over a thousand of miles away.

Those are very different things than hallucinations, and there are no explanations for them that are contained within the three dimensional time space continuum.
