Stuff I don't expect to see in my lifetime...

Peace in the Middle East. And the world.

The end of religious bigotry.

Aliens making contact with us.

Cancer and the common cold become as extinct as Smallpox.

Politicians being counted on for honesty.

The Chicago Cubs making it to the World Series...hey wait a minute!

If you are a cubbie fan I suppose I dont need to shit on your parade.

There is, however, an old saying that I am fond of, that I can tweak for this occasion

instead of FUCK THE DODGERS


FUCK THE GOD DAMN CHICAGO CUBS

Then what? For me, Cubbies all the way; then again, I used to live within walking distance of Wrigley.

If they were technically capable of doing so, they'd be smart enough to know better.

He was here in FL and said that "American people couldnt handle it", when he was questioned about alien lifeforms.

I never thought I'd see MMJ legalized in my lifetime, but it's happening.

Oh man, would I love to see First Contact before I die!

I always cheer for traditional underdogs if my teams aren't in it.

And Cubs fans deserve the same redemption that Red Sox fans finally got.

I have, however, enjoyed making fun of them over the years.

I hate the Yankees for spoiling one of my favorite jokes:
Q: What do the Chicago Cubs have in common with the New York Yankees?
A: Neither has won a World Series in their new ballpark.
(didn't take long for the Yanks to win one in their new stadium)

Last verse of the South Side Irish song:
And when it comes to baseball
We have two favorite clubs
They are the Go-Go White Sox
And whoever plays the Cubs

But I guess I'm not a hardcore White Sox fan because I'm actually pulling for the Cubs to win. It would mean a heckuva lot to the city and to many long suffering fans, some of whom I hold dear.
