The Amazing Kreskin, for the 10th year, has given us some predictions for the New Year and beyond. To wit:
Rudy Guiliani elected President in 2008.
Martha Stewart Emerges as Folk Hero.
Michael Jackson “is not going to fare as well”. He’s going to attempt stage magic, then be offered the role of Frankenstein’s Monster. (Kreskin said Frankenstein; I’m interpreting.)
Hawaiian music will make a comeback in popularity.
Kreskin himself will appear on commercial television with a duck.
Jesus shows up at Washington, D.C. in a spaceship, says the Raellins are right after all, and asks about his old high school buddies, Strom Thurmond and Dick Clark.
Enterprise, the latest in the Star Trek series, gets canceled. Millions of Trekkers march on Hollywood, raising the average IQ of every place they left. Strangely, the synchronized footfalls of their marching causes The Big One along the San Andreas fault. Everything East of the fault falls into the Atlantic Ocean. The Rocky Mountains become a chain of islands inhabited by ex-Texans mad about the whole OU - Texas deal. (University of Texas never wins this game. It’s like OU 117 games to Texas 3 games.)
University of Texas beats Oklahoma in Red River Rivalry. Score: Texas 1, Oklahoma 0. (new rule allows teams to kick extra point only.)
A friend of mine nicknamed me “Kreskin” a few years back (she thought it sounded like my given name). Now, I’m so used to being referred to as such that I was mighty surprised for about a second after I read the thread title… Then I realized it wasn’t about me. Dammit.
I was sooo close, too. Mental isn’t so far away from mentalist, is it?
