The 2023 Predictions Thread

I predict that another stupid, idiotic, lying troll will be banned from the Forum in 2023, and that soon thereafter, another stupid, idiotic, lying troll will take his place in the gutter.

Furthermore, I believe that I know which Forum Member will be banned for such offenses, but I will avoid stating the name of the Forum Member that I am thinking of.
 
I predict "musked up" will be adopted and added to M-Webster's Dictionary.

Man he really musked that up.

After arrest, trial, and jailing for serious crimes, Trump will transfer
to the Min Max, the smallest maximum security federal prison built
to house him. Under constant suicide watch, as required for most
kleptomaniacs, Trump will not feel alone, as the sign above his cell
will read, "You are number six."
 
The Corona virus will be deliberately mutated into something that causes everyone infected to develop telepathy :eek:

The war in Ukraine will end with Russian forces withdrawing. Russia will counterattack in January, but this will not be successful.

That's a big nope.

There will be a mass shooting in Canada in the first half of the year, possibly in or near Toronto.

That too is a nope, unless someone remembers an incident that I've forgotten.

There will be a scandal in the world of international cricket.

Maybe someone who actually follows cricket could clear this one up?

A volcanic eruption somewhere unexpected, possibly Samoa.

Nope. Iceland, which was completely predictable.

Don't remember anything happening here. Anyone else got any ideas?

I'll get around to posting the 2024 predictions thread soon.

Meanwhile, I'll confine mine to the Republican US House of Representatives:
-- Many, many, MANY hours will be spent investigating Hunter Biden, to no result whatsoever.
-- EmptyG will get her committee assignments back, and act like a fool in the meetings.
-- A serious effort will be made to impeach Joe Biden, for fathering Hunter.
-- They'll shut down the government at least once.

Largely correct. No shutdown, but very close.

- A magnitude 6.4 earthquake centered 23 miles east of St, Louis Missouri will not occur at 3:04 AM EDT on June 12, 2023.

- A banquet of endangered escargots served to the visiting Prime Minister of Singapore will not embroil Barbara Pompili, the French Minister of Ecological Transition, in controversy on June 12, 2023.

- Elon Musk and Tom Brady will not announce their engagement, following a year-long secret romance, at a fundraiser to benefit rare French snail species endangered by a Missouri earthquake, on June 12, 2023.

- "Brusky," as they will come to be known, will not attempt to start a family using robo-womb technology under development by Musk start-up HuxleyBro, which will be funded by profits from the phenomenal success of SpaceX's Twitter Remover app.

- No one will remember or mention these predictions on June 12, 2023.

All my predictions came true, though the part about a Twitter Remover app turned out to be more plausible than expected.

I'd like to point out, 23 miles EAST of St. Louis is 23 miles into Illinois.

Trump and family will voluntarily relocate to Saudi Arabia so he can concentrate on his new endeavor, staying out of the United States penal system.
Elon Musk will begin to display some unusual behavior. A previously thought extinct species will be found alive, possibly living in a retirement community in Florida.

I'm going to call this two out of three. Sure, the Musk thing is pretty much a gimmy, but...

Sure looks like a hit! Okay, maybe it's not in a retirement community in Florida, but I only said 'possibly', and it was on a beach, albeit pretty much 100% on the other side of the planet.
Still thought extinct, and found alive.
And that's not the only one, a flower, also thought extinct was found growing in the middle of a road...

Didn't get added to M-Webster yet but this does pop-up when you search for a definition of musked-up:

Worse than f*cked up, prone to happen when adding "tobacco" in your blunt or using drugs you're unfamiliar with.

Can also be to used to describe an epic ***** up.
Bro you were so musked up at that party last night, wassup with that?

Yeah man crazy blunt did 360 all night long, then I musked up and ordered pizza for the whole campus.

*Note to mods, these are what the quotes actually say. Not sure I was supposed to alter a direct quote from a cited source.

Bottom line, if Jan, 2024 is the cutoff for the prediction, I'm not seeing my prediction being successful. If it's sometime within the 2024 prediction timeframe, I continue to hold the prediction potentially being correct.

Gawd that may be one of scariest pandemics ever. "I don't like your shoes."

And there's no getting around it.
