STRANGE YEAR, STRANGE TIDINGS…

 

…TO WIT:

  1. Not only do a lot of people watch Fox Entertainment for their news; but last year, 65 million people watched a 58 year old Tyson lose a fight a 27 year old boxer named Paul for their entertainment…Tyson was the 10th most Googled person of the year.  Can you guess who was Googled the most?
  2. Bitcoin is proving to be to Money what AI is to Intelligence – and investors under 50 want in on both of them because of FOMO.  No one under 50 seems to have heard of ‘The Tulip Mania’.  Also, X is proving to be to Free Speech what Bitcoin is to money.  And so it goes.
  3. We have heard someone is coming out with a new Board Game: “OLIGARPOLY”©.  The board will be similar to the one of Monopoly; but the Get Out of Jail card will not be Free.  Also, the names of the places you can buy (with borrowed Bitcoins) will be changed to things like: “Marlago” and “47’s Tower”, “47’s Casino”‘, “Greenland”, “Panama”.  Some of the dice will be loaded for extra fun.  The little man with the mustache will be changed to a fat creature with yellow hair…and there will be another major character, built with wobbly legs, who will have more money than anybody else and if you don’t watch out he and Blondie could take everything on the board and end the game. Only a gathering of the other Oligarchs can control these two characters from owning everything. We hear Hasbro and the oncoming Administration might sue to keep this game from coming out. Watch this column for updates.
  4. We hear, soon you will be able to buy a ‘Digital Coin’ which will show you standing next to the incoming President – the both of you smiling…with the President’s digital signature.  It will be titled “Kissing of the Ring”©; and it won’t cost you too much.  Watch this column for updates.
  5. In case you missed these items in 2024,  I read: #The best way to get thin is to never have gotten fat.  #The average adult American eats 281 eggs a year.  And Americans eat 29 million Chickens a day.  #If you gat a Tattoo, you raise your chances of getting Lymphonic Cancer by 21% over those who resisted getting a tattoo.  #Studies suggest ‘Crtical Thinking’ (in the U.S.) has gone down in the past two decades. #3% of the U.S.’s water supply is ‘Fresh’.  #Most analysts guess Food costs in ’25 will go up no matter what.  #The best news: Recent studies show eating Dark Chocolate is good for you.

…A few quotes:

  • “God Bless us, everyone!”  -Tiny Tim “A Christmas Carol”
  • “I’d love to see Christ come back to crush the spirit of hate and make men put down their guns.  I’d also like just one more hit single.”  -Tiny Tim, (the other Tiny Tim)
  • “May the Good Lord Take a Liken to you.  May He be your pal in the big corral,”  -Sign off song by Roy Rogers & Dale Evans
  • “After all, tomorrow is another day.”  -Scarlett O’Hara, “Gone With The Wind”

That’s it for now…and a fond Hello to: Chas-bo, wherever you are
