Predictions for the Year 2021

Donny Despot cements his legacy as the America’s all-time Pardoner-in-Chief when he pardons all statues everywhere of past, present and future crimes against race and/or humanity.

The Dodder orders the execution by firing squad of all democrats on the grounds that they are not in his (so by extension the public’s) best  interests.  His republican lackeys (and everyone else in America – and the world) can only sit back and try not to say or do anything that he might “believe” is also not in his best interests.

After blowing up the White House rather than surrendering it to Biden, America’s outgoing Big Baby La La-in-Chief claims that his explosion was way bigger than Kim Jong-Un’s.

Citing last year’s late breaking death by Covid-19 of a 41 year-old US Republican Congressman-Elect with no preexisting conditions as their last straw, the American Medical Association officially adds Republicanism to the growing list preexisting illnesses that could lead to death by Covid-19. President Joe Biden says he is not lemming the influence of America’s last Shepherd-in-Fleece to cause any more unnecessary deaths when he orders Animal Control Officers in Red Republican States to use helicopters to locate and dart gatherings of those flocking lunatics that still flock to the idea that herd mentality trumps mental illnessity.

In response to a shitty outlook for the American dollar’s popularity as the global currency of choice, the US mint announces a plan to bolster its demand on world markets by printing their money on toilette paper.  Sadly their plan backfires due to sudden “runs” on their banks and their failure to account for the facts that: “#1”- the mindless masses continue to piss their money away on whatever they are told is trending; and “#2” – butt now they can flush it down the toilette twice as fast.

Netflix announces a shitty new series called the Walking Braindead, a new more realistic spin-off of their incredibly popular Walking Dead zombie apocalypse franchise.  In “loo” of brains, these zombies are after your dwindling supply of toilet paper in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone is losing their shit to keep one step ahead of the unclean horde.  Unlike their smarter “brain (food) fed” cousins who can only “turn you” with a bite, just being touched by one of these toilet paperless zombies, gives you an immediate desire to wipe away their fingerprints even if it means turning on your friends for their supply of white.

We learn that last year’s rebound in Kodak share prices was just a “flash in the pan” when they return to negatives after demand for their New Improved Kodak Bleach fails to develop.  Both investors and American tax payers see themselves as having been overexposed when Kodak declares bankruptcy (again) and defaults on the (small?) $750 Million loan they received from D.A.D. (aka Donald the Artful Dealer), himself a 6 time loser (if you are just counting bankruptcies).

In a (funeral) veiled attempt to convince people to stop voting against him, the Donnie Despot Campaign 2024, extends an olive branch when it offers anyone who didn’t vote for him in 2020 free and immediate vaccination with the Russia’s highly effective Novichok vaccine.

In a vain effort to pick up chicks and stave off the march of time pending the next election the Dodder buys an Audi in order to make his heart beat.

The American Bible Belt enters the worst drought in the history of man when the real voice of god sentences them to wander 40,000 years in a Dust Bowl for worshiping their false idol (and self-acclaimed voice of God).

2000 Year-end Review

We made it!!!! We survived Armageddon January 1, 2000 (a.k.a. the Year 2000 bug). We survived Armageddon May 5, 2000 (a.k.a. the day the largest planets in our solar system came into perfect alignment with the Sun and the Earth – an event that was supposed to have caused the Western Ice Shield of Antarctica to break away and cause global flooding and a redefinition of the shorelines of the world). Heck, I even survived without ever laying eyes on the Survivor television series.

Other Noteworthy Events 2000

The Americans cannot decide which presidential candidate is the loser.  Meanwhile, a little further north, Canadians have five losers to choose from.

 

I vote for the first time…ever.  Fact is, I only went to the voting station to get the brochures of the candidates running in my constituency to prove to colleagues at work that I had the most hurting bunch of reprobates in the city to choose from.  Any one of those guys could have run under the slogan, “Employ the Unemployable – Vote for Me!”  Of course, the vast majority of all candidates from sea to shining sea could probably qualify under that slogan.

Epiphany!!  Throughout the annals of history, Hollywood and literature, the “bad” guys have always aspired to rule the world.  I cannot remember one instance in movies, literature or the funny papers where a “good” guy ever aspired to rule a world, a kingdom or a country.

 

The Texas Rangers, a professional baseball team, agree to pay someone a quarter of a billion dollars to “play” baseball for four years.

 

The top-selling album of the year is by the Beatles.  Every old-time musical group or musician with a pulse launches a comeback/reunion tour.

In the Year of the Loser, Flotscrum picks some winners

Conspiracy of the Year – 2000:

The super city.  Do they reduce costs by eliminating tiers of government or are they actually intended to re-introduce taxation without representation.  Wasn’t the Romanian President, Nicolai Ceaucesceau shot by his electorate after he forced all Romanians into Urban super cities?

Honorable mention:  Harry Potter.  The only book that schoolchildren are inclined to read (those that the school systems have not already rendered illiterate with literary gems by Margaret Atwood and/or “A Passage to India”) is branded as evil by many school systems and church groups.

My Media/Political/Public Phobia of the year goes to Human Resources Development Canada

In January headlines read, “HRDC does not have enough information on who is spending what, where?”  In May headlines read, “HRDC has too much information on everyone. It should be dismantled.” 

Honorable Mention:  Brain drain (nuff said).

Song of the Year 2000

Do it like the Discovery Channel”  – sorry, I don’t know the actual name of the song or the band that sings it. It might even have even been released in 1999 (Did I mention that the Beatles were the best band in 2000?)

Runner up:  Celine Dion’s ultrasound recordings.

Memory Lane at Our House 2000

We purchase a new bed that has fewer lumps than I do. This, coupled with our primary goal for 2001, to get new furniture in the living room, should allow me to kiss the chiropractor off forever and maybe get back to an exercise regime that will vault me ahead of the watermelon in nature’s hierarchy of physical activity.

New Year Resolutions 2001

To get organized – mentally, physically, financially, professionally and logistically.

Honorable Mention: Obtain a breast reduction and/or Steel Radial “D” cup.
