Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for December 29, 2020

I wonder what the physically impossible comment might have said.

And there are several just covered in tears.

And the year of 2020 had it’s dreams

Oh We all thought we’d change the world with our great works and deeds

Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs

But the year of 2020 had it’s dreams

Modification of: Class of ’57 Song by The Statler Brothers

Tommy’s selling used cars, Nancy’s fixing hair

Harvey runs a grocery store and Margaret doesn’t care

Jerry drives a truck for Sears and Charlotte’s on the make

And Paul sells life insurance and part time real estate

Helen is a hostess, Frank works at the mill

Janet teaches grade school and prob’ly always will

Bob works for the city and Jack’s in lab research

And Peggy plays organ at the Presbyterian Church

And the class of ‘57 had it’s dreams

Oh We all thought we’d change the world with our great works and deeds

Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs

But the class of ’57 had its dreams

Betty runs a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware

Randy’s on an insane ward and Mary’s on welfare

Charlie took a job with Ford and Joe took Freddie’s wife

Charlotte took a millionaire and Freddie took his life.

John is big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt

Where Mavis finally would up is anybody’s bet

Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me

And the class of all of us is just a part of history

And the class of ‘57 had it’s dreams

But living life day to day is never like it seems

Things get complicated when you get past eighteen

But the class of ’57 had its dreams

Oh the class of ’57 had its dreams

Change one letter in “spit”.

This is not from 2020, but from the Year of the Rat and will last to just past February 12th, 2021.

I hear about disasters in past years and I don’t personally remember. 2020 is going to be a whole lot different, I will never forget this “spit” year.

“…with a MELON?!”

Roman year began in March. (Starting it with anything by an equinox or solstice is entirely arbitrary, and even picking which equinox or solstice would be arbitrary.) Don’t know when Father Time came into the picture, but let’s hope he’s not using a Roman calendar.

Well that’s the social media approach. If you don’t like the comment, drown the commenter in threats and aggressive attacks. Just like the Athenians, if you don’t like the message, Kill the messenger. Thus truth is drowned out.

Where do years go when they’re over?

“Physically impossible.” You haven’t seen Bruce Almighty have you?

JUST LEAVE ALREADY!!!!!

Sly joke.

At least the Christmas Star wasn’t anything like the one in Doctor Who or the Netflix Lost in Space series
