Okay, it’s time to live up to my banner image and start doing some not so serious prognosticating. I’m going to use a very high tech approach where I think of an event that I believe may happen at some point in the future and then write it down. Don’t feel bad if you don’t understand my approach to prognosticating. Like I said, it’s very high tech. Few people can grasp a process of such gargantuan magnitude.
I may even make this a weekly event here in the dungeons of me blog. Yes, I put “me” on purpose, so don’t tell me to change it to “my”. I won’t entertain such nonsense.
Here’s how we’re going to do this. I’ll throw out a prediction Nostradamus-style and let you guys run wild and see if you can decipher the meaning behind the prediction. Think of it as a verbose fortune cookie, except everybody gets the same fortune.
Days beyond prime.
Among crunchy hills and valleys.
Putrid liquid will flow.
Take a stab and see if you can figure out what I’m predicting here. And before you ask- Yes, there is an actual prediction buried in there beneath the obscure word choices.
Give me your best guess in the comments section!

Hmm.. Sounds like a machine that’s growing old is going to break down. Using the word ‘prime’ makes me think of a pump. Crunchy hills and valleys? I cant seem to grasp this clue/hint. I am gonna guess that the putrid liquid is what’s being pumped, oil? Petroleum is the product of decomposition or putrefaction of ancient plant material. So a land based oil rig fails and we have an environmental disaster?

I like your way of thinking, but you were thinking on too large of a scale for this one.

You will discover upon pouring that expired milk onto your breakfast cereal that it has indeed gone sour.

Not all predictions are happy. In fact, most are probably exactly the opposite.

I’m inclinded to go with the milk omen mentioned already by keli.

That would be a wise decision.
