It's October - Do You Know Where Your Surprise Is?
posted by NetRunner 1 month 2 weeks ago • 238 views
So here we are, the month of October. Time for the dreaded October Surprise (cue scary music).

Given that we got two October-class surprises in September, the only real question is how many surprises we'll get, and what kind they'll be.

So, anyone want to make their guess on what the October surprise will be?

I'll go first with an old standby -- Israel, at the secret urging of Dick Cheney, will perform air strikes on suspected Iranian nuclear facilities.

Or, failing that, we'll get the color-coded Republican terrorist threat level go to Red for the first time, based on ficticious unsupported reports of an attack of scary but dubious nature.

I'm leaning towards the first option. Hope I'm wrong...

Bristol Palin's wedding is held and everyone ignores it.

either an iranian strike, or a pakistani one.

it'd have mostly the same effect, with the bonus of making them look like they actually give a shit about killing their golden boogeyman.

Hard to say.

We may have already seen it with the bailout.

"Surprise! We're so rich now we don't care who wins!" say the Wall Street fat cats.

Obama will perform a seance to bring George Carlin back from the dead, to kill Carrot Top, thus opening the portal to the tenth dimension and unleashing the Cenobites on an unsuspecting American populace of obese Wal-Mart shoppers. Chaos will reign as EuroChina sends their robotic soldiers onto our shores in order to find the AllSpark, which is hidden inside the colon of George W. Bush. In order to protet the AllSpark, Bush assembles a team of teenagers from the early 90s, each of which has the power of Gaia that sends Captain Planet to the center of the earth, where he spins the axis and sends the Earth hurtling into the sun.

Oh, and Sarah Palin rips out John McCain's heart and devours it, thus gaining the Maverick Spirit used to fight Indiana Jones and liberal elitist media communists of Alpha Centauri.
