Title: Things that you hope will happen in your lifetime.
Post by: Nicksy on December 22, 2008, 11:16:18 PM
Now that all the "I hope we'll see a black president in our lifetime" stuff is done with, what is still on your list of potential futures?


I hope Jay-z purchases Rockefeller Center and gives it the obvious name change.

I second that.

I would like to live long enough to see three-card monty finally recognized as the olympic sport that it should be. I would like to see the variety of styles that other countries bring to the table. The Three-Card-Monte table, that is.

I want Pluto to regain its rightful status as a planet. I have almost never been angrier at the scientific community than when they stripped Pluto of its title.

i know that "chinese democracy" is "done," but to these ears it sounds WAY unfinished.

I'm fortunate in that I will probably live to see Robert Christgau die (http://twitter.com/bergmayer/status/1075109650).

Maybe.  I can't decide.

You should listen to this interview project I did on that topic:

I hope you're not good friends with that crowbar fellow.

That was really funny and oddly touching. Awesome work!

Hah, no, creepy crowbar guy is a friend of a friend who mistakenly gave me permission to use his creepiness.

The word "blog" will sound outdated.

But hopefully not because an even more annoying portmanteau word has taken its place.

Beat me to it, buff.  Damn you.  (Although I was going to express hope only for the extinction of the human race.)

P.S.  Have you seen Last Night, Nicksy?  Your end of the world piece reminded me of it.  (If you haven't, check it out--it's a sweet movie.)

I'd like to see human beings discover a way to speed up evolution.  We'll then evolve ourselves to the point where we're seven feet tall, telepathic, power-hungry monsters.  But then we'll keep evolving and, before we destroy ourselves, we'll transform into non-corporeal beings who float around as balls of energy and speak to each other with booming, peaceful voices.

Kind of like that episode of The Outer Limits, "The Sixth Finger."

What else would you have mean people do, though?

Print new bumper-stickers.

I'm not familiar with it, but after peeping the IMDB page it seems right up my alley!

Good work, Nicksy!

Sarah - you need to cheer up.  Only a real misanthrope would post "Planetary level extinction event" in this topic.

I hope that the massive public works projects Barack Obama has promised turned out to be giant statues of himself holding a sabre to the sky. Every city must have a memorial to Nov 4 2008, the day change came to America!!
