And I predict that those uncloaked jokes will continue to be going strong 5 years from now....just so long as I'm still around They're brilliant they are.

And as for that spammer Mormegil I hope he is bannished in short order...nobody should be able to simply capitalize my name to begin spamming and get away with it.

I predict that when CC does finally go down, Hookbill's sanity will go to and the thread will simply be a depository for any witticism Hookbill has left though sadly he will do more muttering than humor. "Captions, crazy I say, Captions, crazy captions, I was once a king you know." It will go like this for some time.

I predict that the Barrow Downs Forum will one day have its own Wikipedia entry including subsections on running jokes, Crazy captions and such things.

Why wait?

We're waiting for the arrival of that Magical Mystery 'Downer. You know, the one with no life at all (I mean, enough of a not-life that he is literally plugged in here 24/7), with no need to sleep, with enough education and the ability to use it to write decently, but dull enough to think writing encyclopaedia entries is fun. We also need him to be objective enough to portray all things accurately, and subjective enough to think we're all awesome.

This could take a while, obviously.

I'll get right on it then, shall I?

Actually, come to think of it, there is a way to make your own Wiki, apparently. Perhaps it's something for the mods to consider.

Just another one of the predictions coming true, eh?

I predict the exploits of paper telephone will mysteriously transform into a published album of sorts. Either that or, it will just keep going, going, going, and going...

I predict that some arguments... sorry, discussions... on the Downs will go so far that a small party will set out and break into the house of Christopher Tolkien and steal all of his father's notes and spend the next few years sifting through them looking for answers to the questions of Life, Arda and everything!

What if those tales that nutters come out with are true though and his house really is surrounded by packs of ravenous wild boar?

i predict that after H-I has launched every poll imaginable, he would astound us by making the following poll:

What poll do you think is the best thought of?

thus bringing into a whole another spectrum of polls
