Because books.

I have on purple slippers with white polka dots and yellow and hot pink embroidery! But I'm still in my jammies, so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am wearing some ugly boots, because they're what I wear in winter. I need some nice-looking boots that have good traction on ice and snow. Also, they need to survive salty slush.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have black pants, black tee, black cadigan with gray trim, black & gray scarf with orange and gray trainers.

I have never been to Paris but I can't believe that's true, because New York pizza is The Worst. Sorry, New York. I love your cheesecake and your bagels, but your pizza is made of despair and congealed grease.

OK, now you're just trying to start a kerfuffle.

I'm in black from head to toe except for the small white polka dots on my tank. Huh.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm in fleece. Of a color that is not black. Help, I think I've been replaced in my sleep.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am in the clothes I slept in, which just happens to be the clothes I wore yesterday - with added pink slippers and an old college hooded sweatshirt.

I know what you're thinking.....HOW IS SHE SINGLE?!?! It is a question for the ages.

SCIENCE LOOKS AHEAD TO 2000 A.D. (Mar, 1958)

By the year 2000, for instance, it is entirely possible that we may have spaceships which can travel at a speed approaching the speed of light.

Ha ha ha ha!

By 2000 A.D., what remains of cheap fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas, will be limited; hydroelectric power will have been utilized to the maximum; and atomic energy will be commonplace as a substitute for the older sources of energy!

Huh. Partially right....

One of the most dramatic areas in our future, I believe, will lie in our fast increasing ability to solve mathematical, engineering and scientific problems with the help of electronic computers. Computers and photoelectric sensing devices are the keys to man’s ability to grapple sue- the sea as well, growing foods that are not even thought of now, such as unicellular animals and plants. This would make available adequate food for our expanding population for at least a century.

You know, hardly anyone back then predicted that computers would be used extensively for communication....

eta:

Our forms of transportation are more difficult to predict. Since 1900 we have been building up an enormous problem in traffic control. It is my belief that most of the long-range transportation of goods and materials in the year 2000 will be done by unmanned space vehicles automatically and safely controlled from origin to destination along predetermined and non-interfering spaceways.

Um....

Chuck E. Cheese would beg to differ.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

phooey. Our dryer just died. I guess we're shopping for appliances this weekend. Good thing there aren't any spendy holidays coming up, right?
