Time Warp

Does anyone else feel like we are in some sort of time warp?

My personal theory is that Ben from LOST turned the big wheel again and before you know it the sky is going to light up and my nose is going to start bleeding, but maybe I’ve just been watching too much LOST lately.

Every time I turn on the news, there seems to be a story that begs me to ask the question-

What year is it anyway?

First there is the Somalia pirates.

Now don’t get me wrong.  This is a serious situation and shouldn’t be taken lightly, but does anyone else feel like we must be in the year 1699 if these guys are a threat to a giant American warship?  Seriously, pirates?  How is this even happening??

While we are on the subject, can I just make one, tiny suggestion to the guys on the boats.  If you are going to break out into pirate routine, at least do us a favor and try to jazz up the look a little bit with a few accessories.

I’m thinking something a bit more like this:

Oh and while you are at it, “pirates”, maybe let’s try to do a little less pillaging of ships that are actually trying to bring humanitarian aid to the starving children of your continent.  This just makes you seem totally uncool and there is no way that Johnny Depp will ever want to play you in a movie in the future.  You may want to keep that in the back of your mind before you plan your next attack.

Speaking of uncool, I don’t know about anyone else but when I was learning about the Boston tea party it seemed a lot more revolutionary than this:

It appears these “concerned” citizens are trying to protest tea.  Or maybe it is taxes on tea?  Oh, I just read that it is just taxes in general.  Um, yeah…I think that is pretty much a lost cause, but at least they tried to go all out with their costumes.

On a positive note, the time warp brought about at least one positive turn of events recently.

It seems as though Drew Barrymore must have been transported back in time and brought this fabulous look from the twenties back with her.

Wow!  I am totally loving it!  What do you think of Drew’s vintage look?

But wait, there’s more Drew time travel goodness.

It seems as though she must have also stopped off in the year 2007 because look who has decided to rekindle their romance:

Drew and Justin Long make an adorable couple.  Don’t you agree?

That gives me a great idea.

Hey Ben, can you please turn that wheel back about 4 years?

    LOL, I was questioning the reemergence of the pirate threat earlier today and hadn’t considered the possibility that it’s Ben moving us back through time. Brilliant explanation! :) (And for the record, if I get caught by Johnny-Depp-or-Orlando-Bloom-like pirates, I might refuse the rescue.)

    you are so funny…
    but yes, love Drew…

    My girlfriend and i, at lunch yesterday, were talking about this very thing. Who would have thought, in our lifetime we’d have tent cities (in our country,) pirates attacking our ships and tea partyies. WEIRD.

    This is great! Those pirates, I can’t even believe it, what a gong show. You are right if they are trying to pull of the pirate gig, they need to jazz up the look a bit.
