So Long 2012: A Da-da Retrospective of Unusual Shallowness and Symbolic Thingie (6 of 6)

One last 2012 vent. Da-da's sure he can speak for all of us when he says GOOD RIDDANCE TO THE APOCALYPSE. Krikey. The next person Da-da sees wielding an, "End of the World" sign is gonna reap the benefits of self-fulfilled prophecy (Da-da'll make him be Da-da for a week as punishment).

And GOOD RIDDANCE TO THE POWERS-THAT-WERE. This LIBOR-esque group (we all know who Da-da's talking about) has been shamelessly fomenting fear of said apocalypse -- and everything else -- and preying on us socio-economically for something like Da-da's entire life. They really are a sad bunch and Da-da hopes they see their latest non-end-of-the-world setbacks as a positive thing, turn themselves around and try the High Road sooner than later. Phew.

And an uber-galactic GOOD RIDDANCE TO THE 2012 ELECTION. Can we all try to get along, now?

And finally, ENOUGH of these stupid end-of-year recaps!

THE FINE PRINT

Please be advised that Da-da is officially turning reality OFF then back ON again at midnight  12/31/2012. The system has needed a reboot for about 10,000 years, now. Those of you without LRF support (Little Rubber Feet), be sure to either hold your reality up in the air really high while wearing sneakers or thick rubber boots, or simply send Da-da cash in the mail. The All-Being/Domain Name Server's (AB/DNS) articulated whiffletree linkages will shiver a bit on reentry, but the fnortner rods should reset (unless they don't) and that intrinsically delayed grounding spikage will be a thing of the past. Note that if oranges are suddenly called, "wheegles," Da-da will have to deliver percussive maintenance to the sending unit and REBOOT AGAIN. This almost never happens. Void where prohibited. Your future is assured once the universal server comes back online. If it doesn't, be sure to bring cans of spray paint so you can recreate your own personal dimensions. More than one color is advised, unless you're into postmodern monochrome. Or wanna go THX-1138. Which is kinda the same thing, but with fascism. It's your call.

Don't worry. Da-da's reboot should obviate these little deviations.

This is Da-da in Ontological IT... out. If you see smoke, you just might be the next Pope. Either that, or the parade float's transmission is having a moment. Regardless, have a better one.

Of course, like most years, 2012 saw more than its share of celebrity "aha" moments...
...moments that Da-da won't rehash because they don't warrant rehashing, save one...

...one that was heartbreaking. Yes, that's Charles Schulz as a boy. He really was Charlie Brown.

Oh, and we're still stuck with the 3-D movie fad -- and now on TVs -- and it's still stupid.

Then there were (and still are) The Banksters...

...the Banksters' Banksters...

...and Bigfoot. How abominable.

2012 saw lots of peril, both real and imagined -- mostly imagined...

...much to the chagrin of the Robotic Powers That Were, consistently shocked by...

...unexpected moments of tenderness and rapprochement that won the day.

2012 saw some interesting mindsets explored, and hopefuly expunged...

...as well as some blatant ape grabs at... well, at Anne Bancroft, among others, but this is to be expected.

While on the topic, 2012 also invariably saw many many obsessed apes.
Hey, you apes! Stop stroking that obelisk!
At least we now HAVE an obelisk. Cue soundtrack! Somebody throw the bone!

Ah, 2012. Can't say it's been great... because it hasn't.

Though it was occasionally interesting, apocalyptically speaking. Is that Gog or Magog?

Hopefully, we've learned how to put old beliefs aside and all get along.
