Editing Talk:875: 2009 Called

I was too busy trading fashion tips, and they hung up before I could tell them.  '''[[User:Davidy22|<span title="I want you."><u><font color="purple" size="2px">David</font><font color="green" size="3px">y</font></u><sup><font color="indigo" size="1px">22</font></sup></span>]]'''[[User talk:Davidy22|<tt>[talk]</tt>]] 00:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

The '90s called.  They wanted my pogs back.  But, due to inflation, they couldn't offer me enough money for me to be willing to sell.  I told them my friend, Oscar, has some Pokémon stuff, but the '90s had no interest in that crap.  I made the right choice to choose pogs over Pokémon.  Society made the wrong one.  But, I digress.  The '90s are doing rather well, and they miss us.[[Special:Contributions/76.29.225.28|76.29.225.28]] 18:20, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

2017 called, but I couldn't understand what they were saying over all the screams. I bet it was something about them being attacked by 4 Replicants. [[User:Weatherlawyer| I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait]] ([[User talk:Weatherlawyer|talk]]) 23:49, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Well, that title text is feeling pretty prophetic now...[[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.185|141.101.98.185]] 00:08, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

This now stands as a piece of horrifying foreshadowing. Seriously, we're barely in april and things alredy look terrifying. I blame Randall for everything. {{unsigned ip|198.41.226.124}}

The screaming in 2017 was just an echo of everybody's collective screams from 2016 when almost everybody's favorite musician or celebrity died. We now refer to it as 'The Year Who's Number Shall Not be Spoken' [[Special:Contributions/172.69.68.225|172.69.68.225]] 05:59, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

The explanation mentioned Trump, but it doesn't actually attack him too much. Good. We don't need all the Trump hate here. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.74.165|162.158.74.165]] 22:28, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
:I've removed the sentence because Randall is no clairvoyant. This comic is from 2011 and 2017 was not only a Trump year. And guessing about Clinton doesn't explain the comic at all. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:01, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
::Shouldn't there be a {{Citation needed}} after the statement that Randall isn't clairvoyant? --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.210.214|108.162.210.214]] 20:41, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
:::Well, clearly, he isn't. I mean, he was off by three whole years! But I guess you didn't know that, did you, 108.162.210.214 20:41 6 January 2020 (UTC)? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.75|162.158.62.75]] 14:19, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
::::The notion that 2017 was a bad year seems comical in retrospect. I suspect by this time next year, we will feel the same way about 2020.
::::For the benefit of anyone reading this far enough in the future that the topical reference isn't obvious: There's a new virus and half a million people have died so far. It is still increasing exponentially. If you didn't hear about it it's because whatever happens after this is worse, probably. {{unsigned|Singlelinelabyrinth}}
:::::It's also possible that person reading it from future would still consider 2020 bad but for different reason. After all, historically speaking, the epidemic is not THAT bad (yet): it just shows how unprepared we were for it despite thinking otherwise. Just now, I'm little worried about how big temperature {{w|Donald Trump|the person currently in charge of US nuclear weapons}} has. Sure, they SAY [https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54427390 he's getting better] ... I still think he should've transfer the codes to {{w|Mike Pence|vicepresident}} at least for time he was in hospital. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 03:10, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) *pandemic, 2) ??! Not that bad? Over twice as many people have died in the United States from COVID-19 than those who fought in World War I! I get that, with respect to the world, it's not been as devastating due to early restrictions, but it's still making a sizeable impression on people right now. Also, Singlelinelabyrinth is likely more correct than she/he thinks: a good contributor to it, and literally everything else happening right now, is the [[1732: Earth Temperature Timeline|global warming]] of recent years. On the other hand, so as not to appear like your run-of-the-mill pugnacious liberal, I will agree with you that the codes should've been transferred to Pence during Trump's stay at the hospital.
