Spiritus said: > [@](#): > > the end time approaches, wolrd champion Bucs No, no, no. The Bucs are nothing compared to the Cubs. When they win the World Series, _then_ I’ll buy into this “end of the world is nigh” stuff. Heck, that’s less likely than the “raising of the dead” that I mentioned to Poly a while ago as proof for the existence of God! ---

All the signs point that way, Satan. There are 38 predictions that have come true and that shows the Cubs will win the World Series next year. But I know there are people who won’t believe me and I’m not going to argue with them. But you must look into your heart and know that the Cubs are the chosen people and they will walk onto hallowed ground and win the World Series next year. And thou shalt have ice skaing in Hell. ---

And in addition to skaing, there will also be skating. ---

Prediction: Cubbies will win the Series in 2006, exactly 100 years since last time! As for the other, tell me, Brian, did you notice ice outside when you got up this morning? ---

As for skaing, well, I like the Mighty, Mighty Bosstones _Ska-core, the devil and more_ as much as anyone, but mostly I like my rude boy styles to be filtered through rock, a la Fishbone. Now, as for the ice - How true, Poly! That was because of the prospects of a Colts-Rams Super Bowl, as I’ve said elsewhere. If that does occur, expect a few feet of snow to hit Raleighwood and immediate surrounding! * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

Poly, the Cubs last won in 1908–two years more recently, but two more years to wait. Sigh… Bucky [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quote/17172.md?page=3)
