Weather fans, there's something strange in the air. I've noted a recent upsurge in the type of events described by Agent Fox Mulder as unable to be "classified, filed, and easily referenced." Colors aren't as bright, dogs won't stop barking and sales of Astro Pops have climbed 78 percent — in the depths of winter, mind you! Grab your Defcon-3 clearance and read on.
Longtime watchers of this space know I strive to keep you informed on the latest news regarding erstwhile pop-rap darling MC Hammer; this was how I discovered the horrifying truth. Be forewarned, the following will shock you like a malfunctioning Van der Graaf generator. Ready? MC Hammer ... has a blog (mchammer.blogspot.com). If that information doesn't break a seventh seal in the deep recesses of your neural ganglia, you were probably in the target demographic of "Dunston Checks In." Hammer, it's a good thing www.voyagehollowearth.com is around to make your page look normal by comparison. At least you aren't promising a "monorail trip to the City of Eden to visit the Palace of the King of the Inner World."
Princeton's weather is also abnormal, viz. yesterday's bipolar winter blast, which delivered sleet, glaze, snow and bull honkey 33-degree rain. Fortunately, things will gradually improve this weekend, with dry conditions and rising temperatures. It's as important to remember that Princeton's sidewalks will be caked with ice n' junk for the next few days, however, as it is to recall these key facts about Dick Cheney. One, Dick Cheney is a mammal. Two, Dick Cheney fights ALL the time. Three, the purpose of Dick Cheney is to flip out and kill people.
So this column draws to a close, just as the Earth will in December 2012. Dang Mayans, if your stupid calendar supplants a "Boy Meets World" Christmas reunion special I am going to be furious.
