It's time to take down your Christmas decorations, dig out your crystal ball, wipe a year's worth of dust off and lay on us your predictions for the year 2012! Get going! You have 366 days for it to be right!
Here's your chance to get them down in writing, set them in metaphorical electronic stone, so you can claim credit for them when they come true!
(And just like Sylvia Browne claim every hit you get and none of the misses!)
And keep it non-political, I'm going to make a second conversation for political predictions.

The earth will either cool or warm in 2012--global warming alarmists will claim it proves their case.

The Euro Blows up and China's economy goes into a recession. A recession for the Chinese is like a depression for most since they need to keep their economy growing at a very fast rate (about 8%) to keep the masses happy.

The folks at HBO will get at an Arrested Development slap! in the face as the Bored to Death DVD/Blu-rays fly off the shelves. USC reenters bowl eligibility as the USA Today preseason #1. Skinny jeans finally become so 2008/1979. Dark stained furniture becomes the office staple, while lighter stains continue to rule the living areas and kitchens. The U.S. will win the medal count at the Olympics. Diablo III will come out in the third quarter. Hairy chested men will be temporarily in vogue (a (disapproving) QBF post coming on this soon...). Leo gets his Oscar; about time. Violent crime keeps dropping, but prison populations drop with it due to budgets. The smartphoners and have-not-smartphoners become the Rockers and Mods of the telecommunication landscape. Dub-step is rejected; Nu-Disco is embraced (along with a new Hercules and Love Affair album). PDA's increase, especially on public transit, as kids go for the understandable cheap thrills. Solid state hard drive prices rise less than predicted. The East African oryx is taken off the "near threatened" list. Gas goes up to $3.55/gallon. Heat win the championship, and nobody cares. Caribbean imports increase.

Dow Jones Industrial Average at 13,200 on 12-31-12. (N.B. This is sort of political because I think it is the result of good election for GOP.)

Michelle Antoinette takes 150 of her closest friends to the London Olympics, on the taxpayer's dime, and complains because Big Ben is blocking her view of the Thames. She gives iPads to the US gold medalists with copies of Barry's Kansas speech and his NCAA Basketball tourney picks for 2013 on them.

The deer in our neighborhood will join the Neighborhood Association and vote to condemn fences as selfish, greedy constructions. One of them will run for City Council and win because he looks so intelligent compared with the other candidates. By the end of the year, Austin will be declared a Sanctuary City for deer.
