And now the professor will have speaks.
First off, happy new year everyone!
It’s 2016, which doesn’t look at all impressive, you must admit.
See–and I’m sure you agree–2014 looked more impressive.
Don’t you think so?
Yes.
I’m not sure why either. But there it is.
And now this professor has a prediction to make.
Prediction: By 2116, I will own a hoverboard.
Now how neatio is that?
I hope to get the red model, though.
So, what else should we have speaks about?
Oh yes!
Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
It’s made around $1.5 billion so far. Some say it will be the highest grossing movie of all time, moving ahead of both Avatar (2009) and Titanic (1997). (They are #1 & #2 on the list as of now, see.)
If that happened, it would be an interest. But only for a time and a bit of a time.
This professor hasn’t seen Avatar, Titanic, or Star Wars, can you believe.
But I have seen Lone Survivor (2013), starring Mark Wahlberg, which is pretty awesome.
Should we have speaks about the Patriots? Nah, I can’t stand it, I tell you.
Losing their last two games! I can’t stand it, I say! *rampages for about two months*
However, it’s also quite interesting that Mr. Donald Trump predicted that the New England Patriots would win Super Bowl 50.
Not that anyone cares.
After all, what does Donald Trump know about football? And in particular, the Pats?
At first glance, one might say nothing, like this professor did.
But, consider the following facts: Donald Trump is Tom Brady’s friend, who is Bill Belichick’s friend, who is Clint Eastwood’s friend, who made the film American Sniper (2014), which tells the story about Chris Kyle, who was good friends with Marcus Luttrell, who was portrayed in the film Lone Survivor (2013) by Mark Wahlberg, who is a huge Patriots fan.
Go Patriots.
The Punchy Lands! 
It seems Donald Trump is not very good at making predictions… I wonder if he wore one of those turbans and gazed into a crystal ball? Clint Eastwood on the other hand could be much better at it. With the intensity of his gaze, he could probably see into the future ;)
But…does that mean the Pats won’t win, Sonya? Tell me it isn’t so!
I bet you’re right. He’s vicious, you know.
I have a feeling they will win since you’re rooting for them, professor!
*big smiling face* Now, I’m just…spicy!
As for Clint Eastwood, yes very vicious indeed!
He’d shoot eyes out.
Happy New Year, Professor. When I popped over, I saw that you had three posts up. Woot.
I saw Star Wars before Christmas and plan to see it again with a friend tonight. I’m happy for its success.
Happy New Year, Linda! Yes, I’m actually on a schedule now. *celebrates*
Cool! Here’s rooting for the Sith.
The last paragraph made the whole post!
Haha, thanks! Isn’t that amazing how it’s all connected like that?
Indeed.
You’re a Pats fan, right? *hopeful professorish face*
I’m a fan of guys named Pat. Go Pats!! Does that count? Ha. In truth, I could care less about football. If it’s any consolation, I love Boston.
*laughing* It does! You are know an honorary Pats fan! Can you believe, I’ve never even been to Boston?
Never? It’s a great city This is coming from a Southern, too. If I had to root for a team. I’d have to say, go Panthers! (winks and sings Dixie)
Never! I’m quite vicious about that, too. Rats. I love the Panthers! So, you mean, if it’s the Pats and the Panthers in the Super Bowl, you’ll betray the Pats?
I’m afraid so. I have no integrity. Haha
Oh dadblameit. Still, you’ll pull for the Pats before that. That’s good enough, I suppose.
It will have to do. x
I say, you’re right. *professor eye*
HAPPY NEW YEAR PROFESSOR AND ALL PUNCHY LOYALS!! I’m afraid, very afraid, since I did follow that last paragraph, eeks. A doctor I shall go…..
Happy New Year, SS! *laughs* It’s easy to follow…
Space battles are cool. I warmly suggest you see at least one good one, before you get your hover board- it will give you ideas!
Where can I catch a good space battle, tho, Bard?
Two words: Star Wars.
Or, you know. Build a spaceship, find hostile aliens, fight.
But everyone is seeing it! Can’t we do the go the spaceship route?
You…know how to build a spaceship?
I was hoping…you did?
I have an idea. I don’t have the money though…
Can we find someone toothier it off of?
Don’t know. Maybe?
Thieve it, I meant. Let’s just go get a bank.
Most won’t have the liquid assets that we need. Will prince Beef gift us some, do you think?
Oh, that’s an idea! Or, we could rob the Punchy Cave?
You have become quite the criminal, since you’ve been shot.
Wouldn’t you if you were shot?!
I hope not!
Well, Bard, dadblameit!
Tea?
Yes, please!!
Hover board? Only PVJ….😛
As for Star Wars I have heard enough of chewbacka commentaries from the people on the other side of the cubicle. I probably will watch it in 2020.
I’m sure you want one, too!!
*laughing* So, you’re not seeing it? Interesting, I say.
Ummmmm… Not sure. I am still wanting a bike ya know. I have to see you ride one first and then I might.
You’d see me do all this cool stuff, you wouldn’t believe it.
That is exactly why I want pictures!
Yes, but no blooper pics, of course.
Re: the last paragraph, :0 It’s a conspiracy, obviously.
And hey, I’ll root for the Patriots within reason. Though, I’m quite happy with how the Redskins are doing this year. XD
You really must see Episode VII you know…
Hey man! Good to see you. Definitely a conspiracy, I say, too.
Nice! Another Pats fan. Welcome to the club, I say. I like the Redskins, too. They’re rather spicy.
Okay, tell me…is the Sith super cool?
Good to see you too! Have I missed a ton? Like, grand revolutions or general anarchy or people forgetting to eat lunch and stuff like that?
Spicy? XD I’ve never heard them described as that, but I’ll take it. (Makes me think of this one Bad Lip Reading video where it looks like their quarterback is saying “Hot soup! Where they got it?”)
Eh. He’s alright. He has anger issues and he’s a little emo. BB8 rocks though. :D
*laughs* Definitely general anarchy, but that’s everyday life in TPL. Missing the lunches sounds horrid, I must admit.
I love that video!!! I laugh so hard. I think Tom Brady is told he has enough money to buy a pregnant cow. Good times.
But, see, I bet he’d kill BB8. Is that the robot thingy?
XD I must have missed that bit. Yep, that’s the robot thingy. Although, he wanted it alive. But he’d probably kill it after he got what he wanted. He has a horrible habit of smashing computer-like things with his light saber.
Light saber! I need one of those, the sudden.
Happy New Year. Go Steelers.
Now tell me, John, are the Pats doomed?
YES
*holds ears* I can’t hear you the sudden.
*louder* YES
Yes, the Pats will win all? Capital.
No. Yes they are DOOMED. Go Steelers.
Steelers and Pats AFC Championship?
No
*rampages*
*Throws plates on the floor* I sympathize.
*laughing* Good to have a mate then, I say.
Yes.
Double yes.
Happy 2016! (you’re right, it does not look very impressive… I shall have to have speaks with the Doctor about this problem.)
Pah! Donald Trump does not know anything! If the Patriots win it will be in despite of his word, not because of it! OBI-WAN KENOBI FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!! :-P
(Or, would you rather vote Romana? because she’s the other GOOD option ;-P)
Happy 2016, Erin! Yeah. It’s a bit weak. Even yell at the doctor if you have to.
Can we maybe have Count Dooku for president instead? Have you seen the new Star Wars?
We’ll have to see what we can do. ;-D
Well… Dooku would be a strong president… but I’m not so sure about his policies. And the Democrats would hate him.
YES I HAVE! It was amazing. :-D
Well, we’d have to be his advisors, then maybe?
How cool was the Sith on a scale from 1 to 10?
Hmmm! he seems less likely to try to strangle us than other Sith Lords would be, methinks.
Cool? 11! Original (the character, not the conception for the character)? -4. :-P No spoilers.
Yes, I think he could probably still be talked back to the right side, if we so choose.
You won’t tell me anything else? Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Perhaps.
I don’t want to spoil it for you!
Oh rats. *rampages*
*goes running through the house yelling “Blood’n’vinegar!!!”*
*laughs* Not so loud! Obi will hear.
Ah, I’ve scandalized him anyway. :-p
It’s cool scandalizing people, I say.
It rather is! :-P
Well Professor,
You have spoken! And covered a lot of subjects! Where to begin?
Let’s start with the hover board. Love the hot pink color! I can just see you “hovering” on that thing. Please be careful though; I’ve read they can spontaneously combust.
Now, I can’t believe that you mentioned Donald Trump and the Patriots in the same blog post. I suppose with the Patriots losing their past few games they deserve that.
Anyway, a very happy and healthy 2016 to you!
Nancy
*laughs* I speak like a gushing olive oil.
Spontaneously combust? *is scared* Hm. I think I need a red one, tho. Don’t you suppose?
The Pats will personally get a kick in the pants from me real soon. Remember to pull for the Pats along with Mr. Ken!
To you as well!
Welcome back and happy 2016! It might not be as shiny as 2014, but I think there’s some glimmer and glitter if you look at it in the right light.
Just don’t look at the part labeled “Trump” cause that’s dark and slimy and needs to be washed off.
E!!!!! Good to see you. I’ve been away too long. I say you’re right. Especially if I can nab a fox this year. #HighHopes
A fox would make any year a fabulous year!
For sure. I want a red one, please.
Welcome back, Professor! I can’t believe you haven’t seen the new Star Wars. I promise you it’s awesome. Maybe you could hover there?
The professor is soooooooooooo behind on the times. Is it as good as Attack of the Clones, would you say? As long as the board is not pink, of course.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! And we both need some warmer weather, the sudden.
Happy New Year, Professor! I hope 2016 brings you and yours all sorts of wonderful things. :-)
Happy New Year, Jackie! Like a Pats super bowl?
I’m afraid not Professor! I’m not much of a sports fan. :-/
Well…then…you’ve just become an honorary pats fan! Hoorah-yo.
Well alright as long as it’s okay if I go out on photo walks when the games are on.
Perfectly fine. I’m cool with that. Photo walks are more important anyway.
Thank you so much for understanding! GO PATS!!
*laughs* I love that spirit!!
Welcome back, Professor! A Hoverboard, huh? Well, yes, I suppose that might be very cool. I don’t particularly want one, though it might be fun to take Dallas on a walkie if I were hovering!! As for the movies, Domer and I saw the new Star Wars movie twice — it was THAT GOOD! And I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve seen Titanic. Somehow, I missed Avatar, but I think Domer saw it. Professor, you really must get out more, you know! I understand the Pats’ problems are caused by injuries. Nothing like giving their fans something to worry about before the playoffs!
Twice!!!! Wow. Did the chap with the red lightsaber win, do you know? And you’re fan of the titanic. What a wonder. How about Lone Survivor?
*laughs* I’m stuck in my cell all day, after all. And you must pull for the Pats now, Debbie.
I can’t belieeeeeeve you’ve not yet seen Star Wars – you’ve been away for ages. Anyone would think you had a life outside of this blogosphere / high grossing sci-fi films of awesomeness! ;)
Happy new year sir, hope the hiatus was grand!
I know…well, that’s because you said there’s no sith in it! *complains*
Good to be back! How were you holidays, Haylee?
Splendid thanks, relatively quiet and low key which was nice for once. Plus, I got Game of Thrones Monopoly which I’m sure you don’t care about (I believe you said that it’s still on an unwatched entertainment list) but for this geeky fan girl, being able to own King’s Landing for the price of a dragon egg is marvellous! :)
*laughing* Did you get that? Capital. I know you love GoT. Does it have any dragons on it? I like the dragon part. It’s true: I haven’t watched one episode of GoT!
I did – parents’ surprise offering. Much better than socks! No dragons on it, but one of the pieces is a dragon egg so still cool. Capital… As in wonderful/awesome? That will be added to my vocabulary for the foreseeable future :)
An egg! I wonder what will hatch out of it. You know, it might not be a dragon. Might be a guppy. Yes! Capital as in wonderful/awesome. You must use it. It’s so fun.
The egg is the size of a thimble so I hope it is a dragon, it would be the dinkiest in the world! 🐉 I will! I’m going to convert others to capitalism too! I think…
That’s the spirit, I say. Well, if it does hatch, please dye it red. All dragons should be red.
Oh dear! I fear I’ve just gone off Tom Brady. One may judge a man by the company he keeps…
Perhpas if the Pats all had hoverboards they’d win more often. I hope they come in different sizes though – poor old Mr Wilfork might need one with added hover…
He’s also a fan of Bill Clinton. TB stays very unpolitical about the whole thing. Now if only he can get back to the super bowl… *puts on Pat hat*
They only lost four games this year! Did you know, the Pats released him? He’s no longer a Patriot! *Cries*
I don’t see how anyone could look at Trump’s hairdo and stay unpolitical – I think there should be protest marches!
Oh no! You mean he’s a Traitor now?? Or maybe just a Rebel.
*laughs and tries not to* You know, it’s quite hilarious how you feel towards Trump… But I shan’t laugh!
He’s a Houston Texan! Bill got rid of him. *cries more*
Wow! I really needed that.
*laughing* What?
Yes, exactly.
Have you seen Star Wars, Susan? With the princess?
Not yet. We were supposed to go last weekend, but we ended up taking care of the little princess.
So soon then?
I don’t know. My birthday approaches.
Really?! Cool. When is it?
February.
Do I get a day, please?
What kind of day?
Hmm.
you know…That kind.
So secretive!
It’s how I stay out of trouble.
I’m not sure I believe that you stay out of trouble.
You would be surprised how much an innocent looking person can get away with.
Oh, I do that sort of thing from time to time, you know.
You need to work on the innocent expression.
Isn’t this good? Rats.
Currently, it looks like a porcupine about to send out the spines.
I wish I had that power.
It’s all prefectly clear now. I have not seen the new Star Wars, actually I have only seen the first two Star War movies as I am not into Science Fiction, though I did like “Alien”. I watched Avatar on Net Flix and thought the special effects were amazing, even more fascinating than the Donald’s hairdo. Happy New Year professor, wishing you good health and much happiness!
You neither? *fist thingy* Nice to know. This professor was beginning to think I was the only one who hadn’t seen it! All my buds have seen it multiple times. Dadblameit, I tell you. Avatar was weird, but cool.
Maybe we are missing out…must see Star Wars now!
But…but…are you sure?
no…I’m not going to see that, let them throw tomatoes, I don’t care!
That’s the spirit! Use your shield.
I shall, and you do the same, don’t be bullied into seeing Star Wars.
I won’t! *stands resolutely and crosses his legs*
Laughing…can you catch a snapshot of that and send it with the snow.
As soon as I get the snow. I look evil, you should be warned.
bracing myself. sigh.
You will have nightmares.
i will risk it.
You were born to hover sir. No doubt about it. May your 2016 be a joyful one filled with many cherry suckers Professor.
Trump is an arse
– esme upon the Cloud
Lots of cherry suckers! *waits to see if Esme brought any* Hover on the clouds, too.
*esme has two pockets stuffed with suckers. But no cherry, strawberry and mango, much nicer, she keeps them hidden just in case*.
– esme not a big sucker upon the Cloud
I’ll take mango, of course… *grabs them*
*nicks his hover board*
– esme off into the distance over the Clouds on the hover board laughing.
You beast! Come fix it at once!
*esme farts a white cloudy contrail in the distance that says “You wish…hahahaha” .
Hmm. I’m going to shoot a dart at you!
I bet you say that to all the girls.
Hahahaha.
– esme handing back the hover board because she broke it upon the Cloud
I say it to everyone I know, in fact.
Blabbermouth eh?
– esme the Cloudbuster
Ooo, that’s a good word, you know.
I do. It fits in at the PL rather well methinks.
– esme the all-knowing upon the Cloud
Does does.
Titanic, that’s the one where the boat sinks, I think. I hope I didn’t just ruin it for everyone. Not like that’s not the only thinking sinking around here. The nation is too you know, with Trump on the bow going “I’m king of the world!” And the Patriots. Although not like the Cowboys. That ship can’t be saved. Given time, everything will sink.
Happy New Year!
Haha. Sinks and sinks bad. But then again, I’m thinking they should remake the movie. A version when the boat doesn’t sink. It’s maybe lands on the reef or something.
Are you a Cowboys fan, Mr. Walker?
A remake of Titanic? But the boat is at the bottom now. How can they remake it?
I was a Cowboys fan. They’ve done everything they can to get rid of me, though, and it’s working.
You and I must go on an expedition and bring it up. Imagine the gold we might find.
*laughing lots and lots* But you do have a valid excuse. No Romio.
I was having a marvellous time reading along until the last paragraph confused me entirely *laughs* My brain is only very small, after all. My nephew has a hoverboard, it is very cool indeed – but not so great for indoor use.
Happ New Year, Professor! It’s good to have you and TPL back once more!
That last paragraph is something, I must admit. But isn’t interesting how Trump connects to the Patriots? I’ve never noticed it before. A wonder.
He does not!! Does he? I might thieve it, if it’s not pink, of course.
It is indeed a wonder! I shall be pondering it all evening, now. It’s black! Looks rather vicious, too.
Now that is simply awesomely cool, I think. Black and vicious? Nice.
I think perhaps a red one would be better, all in all.
You know, I say you’re right. More my style, too.
Red suits you very well indeed, I say.
Unless I’m trying to hide, of course.
You could hide in tomato soup.
I’m thinking that would burn the nose for some reason…
Very good point. At least then it would also be red *laughs*
*laughing* Don’t things turn black when burnt?
The sun burnt my nose once and it went red! *laughing lots*
Oh. Good point. The sun does do that, the bugger.
I am not so sure if soup does the same, I am no expert, of course.
We must catch a rat to test out your new theory.
I shall put Terry onto it right away.
How is the beast doing, btw?
He is doing just brilliantly, thank you. He sends his regards.
I shall give him a tummy rub soon.
Oh, he will love that, thank you. When I tell him that he will be most delighted.
I hope so. One must make sure Terry is happy, after all.
Absolutely. Or he will make the cranky noise.
And we definitely don’t want that!
No sir-ee!
Not at all.
