Exit Turkey

Al Swearengen: And Ned throws down...
Persimon Phil: Against Wild Bill Hickok?
Al Swearengen: Against Hickok and this other cocksucker who draws almost as fast, so it's a toss-up who blew Ned's head off.

Something’s going to get us. Nobody knows what, but something’s going to get us. Fundamentalist religious nuts THINK they know what’s going to get us, but they don’t know. Something’s gunning for us right now; better get your affairs in order. It’s going to be just like Deadwood around here soon.

Right now the fat money’s on two horses – global warming and the Middle East. Let’s see how it works out:

Gobal Warming – melts the icecaps, which in turn causes the seas rise up and drown Florida as well as lower in temperature, which causes a new ice age overnight and 3 million years later aliens dig out Condoleeza Rice with FRESH LETTUCE STILL ON HER LIPS.
Middle East – the Israelis miss Beirut and wind up in Syria before they stop at the Iranian border where they meet Ahmadinejad with his teeth full of nukes and thereupon melt each other, creating nuclear fallout and new ice age overnight and 3 million years later aliens dig out Tony Blair with GEORGE BUSH’S ASS STILL ON HIS LIPS.

Of course, it could be something less expected. Here are some other options:

Pandemic – Aids, Ebola, Marburg, Bird Flu, Kevin McHale Flu…
Meteor – Especially now that Bruce Willis is getting old
Religious Apocalypse – Start building your boat now
Aliens – With lasers set on simmer

And then there’s just craziness

Y3K – Not to early to start worrying
Supernova – Carry plenty of SPF 50
Robots – Gone Wild
Mad Jesus – Mel Gibson pushed him over the edge

My dough’s on the sun; that sucker is hot.
