Just like that ugly sweater from Aunt Bertha on Christmas morn, it's the Septi-verse. Check back later on this month for the year end blow up. I make fun of the past year, and predict what will happen next.
The United States and Iraq are playing another game of "who has the bigger penis". Quote from Governor Elect Jesse "the Body" Ventura, "I won because people want honesty and credibility from their governor." His running mate stepped down from the position of Lieutenant Governor because he said that it would take away too much time from hunting, fishing, and bowling. Yes, it truly is beginning to look alot like Apocalypse.
It wouldn't be the Christmas season unless there were massive lay-offs all over. Boeing, Quaker Oats, and Kellogg started off the holidays right by letting go of hundreds of employees each. Nothing says "good will to man" like a pink slip. Johnson and Johnson laid off 4,100 people from 36 divisions. And let's not forget the blow to the local economy, Nabisco said "ho, ho, ho" to its entire baking plant here in Pittsburgh- by shutting it down. Your loyalty to your employees is commendable.
Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy tried to run around the law last month to get support for the immensely unpopular stadium funding initiative. After a bill that would fund stadiums for both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia floundered in the PA state Senate, one of Mayor Murphy's cronies snuck in a bill to the state House of Representatives and Senate that would have rescinded a referendum that people in eight counties around Pittsburgh voted on to ban such funding. The bill was vetoed Governor Ridge, crushing Murphy's hopes to get money to build the much chastised stadiums. In what can only be called an amazing coincidence, stadiums in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia suddenly suffered from structural difficulties over the next weekend. In Philly, a railing (that a spectator said was supported by duct tape) gave way during the Army/Navy game, and several people (many hundreds of pounds who were leaning up against it) were injured. In Pittsburgh, a section of wall tumbled down during a Sunday football game. Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell said that the accidents were not plays to get funding for stadiums in both cities. What? Did someone suspect sabotage?! Only someone with a complete disregard for the law and was devious enough to try to trick people into doing his bidding would so something like that. Who could be so deceitful? (Helpful hint: reread the first sentence of this paragraph.)
There was an interesting campaign at the University of Pittsburgh for the student council. Although he was defeated, he vows to run again next year. Click here to see.
Before the new year starts, let me resolve the following. The word "millennium" is heretofore banned from the Septi-verse, it will be replaced by the term "thousand year period". The song 1999 by the Artist Formerly Known as Sane is also banned from my life as well. I will update you about other things that are banned on further Septi-pages, if there are any.
This month we have the unending cavalcade of rogues on About Septy. Part three of how the world will be improved after I take over in Glimpse into the Future. Why Bert is evil and Tamagothi in Links N' Stuff. Even soup can burn in True Tales of Stupidity. Can't shake that Christmas feeling in Tirade. This is the absolute last What's My Damage?. And as always, check out the retrospective of the last seven pages in Previous Septi-Pages.
The secret pages are no more. Now there are special pages. This month I created the It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Apocalypse Special.
