A Google member called "Blogger" has been posting ads for porn sites on old comment threads. Not much I can do about it than go to them and delete them. The only upside of this is that it gives me a chance to revisit some old posts, and better, your comments.
The following predictions appeared four years ago tomorrow (December 19, 2012). Some of them are out of date, but the Ticket has changed so little in that time that a lot of them actually still make sense (if not funny sense), so thought I'd rerun them for a giggle, as Gordon would say. These appeared in one of my comments to a post featuring (1) my live blogging of winning of three different raffle drawings at Scruffy Duffies, including the grand prize, and (2) the predictions of a former Confessor named duckandcover.
So . . . what do you think will happen at The Little One in 2017? I'll accept gags, serious prognostication, and naked wishes.
Here ya go:
- (1) Michael Gruber, Dirk Nowitzki, Brian Cuban, and Weekend Tickerman Mitchell Kerasik will form a consortium and purchase The Ticket from Cumulus for an undisclosed sum and a ham sandwich. Grubes will assume control over station management and will permanently reassign Jeff Catlin to oversee the constant replenishment of BaD’s and Norm’s stable of interns.
(2) Gordon will permanently lose all of his endorsements when he blurts out that he’s never actually been to Raising Cane’s.
(3) Sometime in late spring or early summer, an episode of “What’s on Mike’s Mind” will air without Mike uttering a single syllable.
(4) Cumulus will announce that it’s working on improving The Ticket’s signal.
(5) Corby will join the professional marathon circuit. Will run into trouble with his first urine test when he tests negative for urine.
(6) Richie Whitt will modestly admit that yes, it’s true, he’s dating Megan Fox’s cuter sister.
(7) The Hardline will take a call.
(8) The International System of Units will announce that the frequency of the sound of Bob Sturm’s voice has been determined to vary so little from high to low that it will replace caesium-133 radiation cycles as the basis for the atomic clock upon which modern timekeeping is based. When informed of this, Bob will say: “Awesome.”
(9) The fragile edifice of host solidarity will begin to crumble when one of them casually mentions that he’s considering non-renewing his endorsement deal with All-Pro Foundation Repair to pursue other interests.
(10) Craig Rosengarden will kick George DiGianni’s ass. - (11) Craig "Junior" Miller will tragically violate Johnny Carson's "Comedy Rule of One Too Many" when, incorrectly perceiving that his self-nickname "The Joonz" has achieved widespread humor acceptance, he further shortens it to "the Joo" and is hounded off the air by the Anti-Defamation League.
(12) George Dunham will drop his opposition to fracking when the largest self-contained source of domestic methane is discovered under his vast real estate holdings in East Jeebus or wherever the hell it is he's moved off to, which BP geologists will name "the Jub Outgassing" in his honor.
(13) Outraged P1's will finally have had enough and will dognap SweetJack and haul him off to Man's Best Friend, where his irrepressibly cheerful bargain-flogging will result in his severe mauling by a pack of previously docile six-toed Norwegian lundehunds.
Y'all have a Merry Christmas 2016, if I don't post before then, or even if I do. -- Plainsman
