\"Ridiction<\/a>It’s that time of the year again, the time when the distance between the worlds of the silly and the non-sensical becomes miniscule, when the line between sense<\/em> and non-sense<\/em> become blurred!<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s time to start making ridiculous predictions<\/em> (ridictions<\/strong>!) again!<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who are new, this is generally just a fun, goofy, completely-not-likely-to-be-serious-or-accurate predictions that I make up about the coming year. It’s a way to blow off steam and transition from the research-based show to a completely made-up one for the holidays.<\/p>\n

But this year, I fear I may not have the usual time for them! So I’m enlisting your aid, dear listener: bring me your<\/em> ridictions!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rules (if you can call them that):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Keep it clean<\/strong>. The show still airs at 9am on local community radio, and my audience has always been respected and multi-aged.<\/li>\n
  2. Keep it about the next year.<\/strong> Or at least, the near-ish future. But..<\/li>\n
  3. Keep it ridiculous.<\/strong> It shouldn’t be too likely to happen at all, and be totally outrageous. However..<\/li>\n
  4. Keep it relevant. <\/strong>Callbacks are brownie points.<\/em> If you can use some of the story bits from the past year to support your ridictions, you will be put to the front of the class, and I will likely bump your ridictions closer to the top of the list. As you should know by now, I always have too much material, so getting on the list earlier means you might actually make it to the show.<\/li>\n
  5. Keep it Real Weird.<\/strong> D’uh!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can comment here with your ridictions or post on the Facebook post, or even tweet @theweirdshow<\/a> and I’ll get them.<\/p>\n
