ReplyDeleteThe Hammer's Top Ten (minus 5) predictions:
ReplyDelete1. Kim Jong-Un (named "Sexiest Man Alive" by at least one major on-line publication) will marry Lindsay Lohan in a private ceremony in the fashionable "Lakes District" of North Korea. Local residents in the resort town of Daheng Lugou will be delighted as the event will hasten much needed electrification.
2. It will be revealed by amateur genealogists that Michelle Obama and Whitney Houston are in fact sisters separated as infants by a Newark, New Jersey adoption agency. When the First Lady is asked about the rumor she will reply "Ain't nobody got time fer dat!"
3. FIFA and the international soccer community will be rocked to its very foundations when it is revealed that Manchester United's highly successful, longtime skipper Sir Alex Ferguson is in reality a cross-dresser named Moira Elphinstone from Glenboig, Scotland.
4. Israel, in an attempt to spur tourism and economic development in Ramallah and the West Bank, will announce plans to sponsor a major BBQ competition sanctioned by the International Barbeque Cookers Association. It is expected to attract most of the well known "Show Us Your Pits" stars including Big Bob Milroy from Decatur, Georgia and teams like "Lotta Bull" and "Slap Yo' Daddy". The Israel Ministry of Tourism will commit several thousand dollars to the project.
5. Hugo Chavez will die a slow and painful death not as a result of terminal malignant neoplasm but due to counterfeit drugs purchased on the streets of Mexico City and administered by Cuban "doctors". It will be revealed by Chavez's eldest daughter Rosa that instead of the analgesic Demerol, Chavez was given a knockoff of the American drug Mirapex, which is intended to treat "restless leg syndrome". The side-effects can include extreme bloating and anal leakage.
Right off the bat; Booker already said he wouldn't run for Governor....
