[WhiteGuy]

Yep, sorry I can't help it

Let's see The Hit King came up in... '63??

That would make you about 4 or 5 years older than me.

Ok, who was Joe's broadcast companion before Marty?

Marty, "Annnd eee struck eeeem out"

Joe, "Yessssir"

[Revolting cat!]

I predict that:

Jeane Dixon will make her 2002 predictions public between now and January 15, 2002'

Bat Boy will make repeated apearances in 2002,

As will Elvis Presley,

As will Elvis Costello,

We will all be one year older!

[xzins]

Ok, who was Joe's broadcast companion before Marty?

Not fair....let's see...was he a former player? pitcher?

[WhiteGuy]

Y'know....

I don't think this guy ever played ball.

He is still in broadcasting though.....

[xzins]

Different guy. I was thinking of Warren Spahn....maybe Joe was his replacement as color commentator. (If I have even that name right.)

OK. I give up. What's the answer?

NASDAQ CLOSES AT 2750

[CubicleGuy]

Prediction: more and more of the participants at FreeRepublic.com will speak out in favor of placing restrictions on the freedoms enumerated in the Bill of Rights, all in the name of the war on terrorism [or drugs, or whatever the popular cause is at the moment].

[WhiteGuy]

Spahn? huh?

I believe that might have happened....

However the broadcaster I was talking about was...

None other than.......

Al Michaels,

yes that Al Michaels of ABC's Monday Night Football.

[VRWC_minion]

My prediction is that Trent Lott threatens the democrats right before he caves on a major issue.

I also predict that John McCain will go out of his way to take a posistion with the dems that is opposite of George Bush.

Finally, I predict that more and more the liberal press will see that George Bush continues to grow into the job.

[xzins]

Are you serious? Al Michaels?

I didn't know that. Also, Marty's starting to look a little old...gettin' grouchy, too.

[EyesWideOpen]

Can YOU predict what happens in 2002??? Nope. But perhaps someone can ask this remote viewer... as this was supposedly drawn four years ago. The intro to these drawings can be found here.

[Snow Bunny]

Osama will die and we will also go after Saddam.

The economy will zoom fantastic!!

The liberals will continue to be using air that I wish they did not have available.

[Swan]

The Man Show will go main-stream

[BillyBoy]

>> 1. Osama bin Layden will be at large. <<

No, worm food.

>> 2. The Yankees will win the 2002 World Series <<

I'm gonna say yes based on their past victories.

>> 3. The GOP controls the Senate <<

As of "December 31, 2002"? No. Dasshole's in charge. As of January 2003? The GOP will have it 51-49. Chaffee may defect at that point.

>> 4. There is a new Pope

No. But there will be more people trying to force JPII to resign.

>> 5. Amazon.com files for bankruptcy

No.

>> 6. Strom Thurmond, Helen Thomas, AND Robert Byrd are ALL alive <<

Yes. But they'll all be VERY sickly and ailing except Byrd.

>> 7. US AIR is still flying as an independent airline.

No.

>> 8. There will be another terrorist incident inside the US

Definitely yes, but nowhere near on the same scale.

>> 9. Bill and Hillary Clinton are legally separated. <<

They'll never make it official.

>> 10. Duke wins the 2002 NCAA mens basketball title <<

Dunno enough about college backetball. Flip a coin. Ummm...yes.

>> 11. The DOW closes above 10,000 on 12/31/2002

Yes. Hopefully before November.

12. There is a new CONFIRMED Justice on the US Supreme Court <<

Yes, he will replace Stevens and be Hispanic. Whether or not he will be conservative is questionable.

>> 13. The GOP gains 10 or more seats in the House <<

No. But they do not lose the house.

>> 14. Andrew Cuomo is the next Governor of New York

Pataki gets a 3rd term or Governor-elect Giuliani is waiting in the wings.

>> 15. Yasser Arafat is still alive.

Yes, but will be an outcast and a figurehead of power.

>> 16. The HP/Compaq merger is cancelled. <<

No.

>> 17. Saddam Hussein is still in power in Iraq <<

Will still be clinging to power at that time, but on his way out after several monthes of bombing.

>> 18. The St. Louis Rams win the 2002 Super Bowl <<

No. >> 19. Chandra Levy is found. <<

Ha!!! Sure, and Jimmy Hoffa shows up too!

>> 20. Fidel Castro is alive. <<

Yes. He'll be around for a while (unfortunately)

[My Favorite Headache]

Bump for bookmark...and to see where we are at.

[My Favorite Headache]

So far you are a winner on this one my friend.

[f.Christian]

Lennox Lewis will knock Tyson out in the eigth round and Tyson will kiss him and ask for a rematch...get the father of the year award too!

[Brett66]

Thanks for the re-ping! I had completely forgotten about this thread. Looks like I had a little luck on my side. Episode II was the biggest threat to making me wrong IMHO.
