I just finished several different 9/11 threads, posting in one of them. (Iampunha’s) Then, I put on John Lennon’s _Imagine_ [typing through tear weary eyes] You guys are all really neat. I might even say, in a weird, net interacting kind of way… I love you. for what it’s worth. [no, not a joke] I predict peace, may it come to us all… **[next poster]** _keep the good times coming, y’all_ 🙂 ---

Wrong. I believe I have THE prognosticator item to trump all of them. Inspried by **Spoz** , I have the… (wait for it…) **PROGNOSTICATOR DIRTY BOMB!!!** BLAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!! (okay, I’ll stop for now with the “dirty bomb” references) No matter if I guess right or wrong, this baby is going to explode anyhow… take cover, you lot! (I’m already immune since I’ll be throwing it as soon as I make my predication) I predict… **NoClueBoy** _prognosticator bomb explodes, sending everyone in the thread running in all directions for cover_ F\_X ---

Ha! I say, _HA!!!_ As I wade through the havoc and devastation, safe and secure in my Anti-Prognosticator Dirty Bomb Suit, searching for survivors, or at least any interesting-looking loot. Let me count up the posters still standing: one, two, three, many… Heh. Well, numbers have never been my strong suit, as you can tell from my mistaking 1190+ posts as being on the verge of 2000. :o Anyway, **NoClueBoy** , did you survive the sneak attack? ---

Here’s another one posting with teary eyes. I’ve just spent the last two hours in the loft finding all sorts of things I’d forgotten existed and looking at old photos. Made me sad. However, on my return it was nice to see that AOL had refrained from logging me out and that my chow mein had congeled into one enormous yellow lump. Anyways, I predict **Abby** next. ---

Cats don’t eat marshmallows. Well, most cats don’t. I’m not too sure about the Orange Boys – they eat almost anythng they see me eating. **fizzygoodmakefeelnice** , you okay?
