Futurological Brickbats

Whenever I hear the word "trend," I reach for my brain.

Other futurological brickbats here.

A small tear rolled down my eye because I agree with you and am now taking a break from preparing a trend report.

But, just so you know, lamb belly will be big this Easter as will the term "veganish".

Life sure gets stupid sometimes.

Too many people muddle sex
With mere desire,
And when emotion intervenes
The nets descend.
It should on no account perplex,
Or worse, inspire;
It's but a pleasurable means
To a measurable end.

Why does no one comprehend?

Let us hope this lunacy's just a trend.

Now where was I? Where was I? Oh, yes...
