Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 23, 2023

Make that 2016.

Used up by 2019, Trump’s presidency? Coincidence?

Most things are still pretty good past their best-if-used-by date.

Oh please. Earth still good and lifely.

Just like how the dinosaurs ignored the falling rock sign.

Too many doomsdays to count in my lifetime.

I like the idea that the Mayans were right and it ended in 2012 and this is just the rot slowly serting in

Put us on the ‘Reduced for Quick Sale’ shelf.

2020 was the pandemic, so Earth had to be used by 2019 or you get sick. Is that the meaning here?

I’d go back to Andy Griffith or Leave it to Beaver days

It’s more of a sell by date than an expiration.

The Good Old Days!

Hoping for fresher quality in 2024

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien CBE FRSL would have set the date to the late 1800s because it has gone downhill from there

“Warranty voided by mis-use.” There didn’t use to be a best-before date.

“Smell it, see if it’s bad.”

Wasn’t the world supposed to end today?

We should never forget: Mother Nature has no qualms about cleaning the slate and starting from scratch.

Doomsday people are fun. The Soothsayer called out from the crowd to Caesar, telling him to beware the Ides of March. He said this is the end of the world. He was wrong it was just the end of him. The English said this is the end of the world, when the black plague hit, but we survived. In the 1920’s when the stock market crashed, many investors said this is the end of the world and jumped out a window. We survived!. We have survived a lot, earthquakes, volcanoes, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages, just to name a few little things. Why they told me, This is the end of the world for you kid, when I got my draft notice, but I survived, and I’m still going strong.

Crazy Doomsday people are so much fun. Like the story of the Lemmings, They are running off the cliff. By By! Say hello to Caesar when you hit the bottom.

So Covid was just spoilage. That actually makes sense.

That’s when the Vogons planned to construct the bypass.

Yup, things started going downhill right after that.

I don’t get it.

Yeah. Just look at what’s happened under uncle Joe’s watch. At least while he’s awake. And not falling over.
