Newhart/St. Elsewhere/Dallas Watch in Effect

Filed in National by on September 17, 2008

Jason made a prediction a while back that at some point the Dow would hit 10,659 (where it was when GWB took office) and suddenly we would all wake up and realize that it was all a dream and Al Gore had actually been elected.  We are well within striking range of that Dow level.  I don’t know about you, but I’m memorizing the outcomes of football games for the past 7 years.

    Oh sheesh! The Cubs may very well win the world series this year, too. Anybody see Biff or a futuristic MartyMcFly around town lately? How about Doc Brown?

    Getting nervous!!!

  2. JohnnyX says:

    But Smitty, to be true to form the Cubs would have to win against “Miami”…whose mascot would be alligators instead of marlins (and presumably would also have to be in the American league).

    What can I say, I’m a ridiculous back to the future nerd.

  3. RSmitty says:

    Hmm..good point. I wonder how Geek’s DeLorean (sp?) fits into this.

    Jeez… hasn’t the financial sector now lost more than the total of all the subprime mortgages issued?

  5. Dana Garrett says:

    LOL That one made me laugh out loud.

    JohnnyX….

    The Florida Marlins are building a new stadium, and in 2011 will change their name to the ……

    Miami Marlins!

  7. JohnnyX says:

    Hmm…now if they only move to the American league so they can lose to the Cubs in the 2015 World Series…and if they happen to have an alligator as an alternate mascot…and if we have hovercars and hoverboards and automatic pizza hydrators…and the “Cafe 80’s”…my dream of living Back to the Future part II shall be complete!

    Jason is looking like a genius. 10609.66 (down 449.36) as I type this.

    looking like?

  10. pandora says:

    My bad! Jason is a genius!

  11. feces throwing monkey says:

    DJIA more than tripled under Clinton (from 3,241 to 10,588).

    Bush needs a blow job… STAT!

  12. Unstable Isotope says:

    feces,

    Did you just volunteer?

  13. feces throwing monkey says:

    I volunteered your mom and she jumped at it.

  14. DPN says:

    7th grade rules!!!!!

  15. Unstable Isotope says:

    DPN,

    It’s work rules. The person who makes the suggestion is put in charge. I believe we are willing to provide the patriot who volunteers any mind-altering substance they need to get through the experience.

  16. DPN says:

    UI, agreed. And since I drive on Highland Avenue every freaking work day of my freaking existence, I’d be happy to pick something up.

  17. anon says:

    Go away Jason… you have work to do. Discipline, discipline. Stay away from this blog.

  18. R Smitty says:

    Let me get this straight, Jason broke his self-imposed exile just to make sure his ego was stroked correctly (see comment #-s 8-10)?

    God, I miss that man’s contributions here.
