Putting the Fflash in News Fflash?

2012? Isn't that when the world's supposed to end?

Maybe I just need to get a new calendar or at least a clearer head- blast these sinuses!

Anyway, if you'd like a book to read next year, I have it on good authority that Chris Moore's new book is coming out sometime in 2008.
All he's said so far is that it's set in medieval England- but he took an awful lot of pictures of squirrels while on the research trip...

Hey, at least there's something new to anticpate!

Nah, the world won't end until those priests moving the 64 Tower-of-Hanoi disks finish--500 billion years from now.

On the other hand, if the world ends, it'll also mean the end of Lost.

So there's our silver lining folks!

I met a crazy sculptor (this is vaguely related, I think) who is obsessed with aliens and that the world shall end in 2012. His name is Bruno and lives at his sculpture garden in Marysville, Vic. He even read my palm.
Unless you want to stay there for hours listening to him talk about those things, don't mention aliens in front of him!

BK - Lost? Is that the series where mrs. SkidMarks and I watched 2 episodes, thought more JJA cr*p and stopped watching? Does anyone actually watch it?

Happy New Year to those of you who have reached it.

Hmmmm.... I still like the idea that I just came up with.

2012 is when they vote for the weakest world. The weakest is voted out of existence.

Of course, I am not sure who is doing the voting....

I will be over 40 by then so therefore that time does not even exist. I'm serious. The End of the World is Nigh.

Hmmm.... Can I make you feel bad and point out that I turn 21 in May? Or should I keep that to myself?

For us oldies, you turning 21 can only be for the good.

Nothing wrong with 21. Unless the dealer has it.

Yes. You don't want dealers knowing anything about you, if you can help it.

Pontoon? Isn't that a simplified game of bridge?

Yep, that's me, two years old and already in college! Just call me Super Prodigy!

Okay, really I'm 22. You do the math (since I'm too lazy to look up your year).

Pffft.... It is all in the context Muse. Two years older than me as opposed to one.

Kitten: I have a good deal on a zimmer frame, only one previous owner, a little old lady who used it at church.
