The other day I added to my list of life dreams by deciding to create a time machine so I can use pop culture references from the future before they happen. Think about cool it would be for people to stare at me blankly and then understand what I was talking about a week or a month later.
For example, after a motorcycle cut me off last week I could’ve said, “I wish someone would Rothlisberger that guy.” This Monday people would have of course realized I was referring to the brilliant quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers who thought recklessly driving a motorcycle without a helmet was funny until he slammed into a car and spent seven hours in surgery.
On the flip side it would be difficult for people to know I am referencing the future when I note Britney Spears is a questionable parent. Today you may think I’m referring to her driving problems when in fact she ran out of formula and made her son a White Russian next Wednesday.
Also, when I say I dislike Derek Jeter you may think it’s because he plays for the Yankees. Truthfully, after making three ninth inning World Series errors an irate George Steinbrenner will trade him to the Calgary Flames and he will begin dating Star Jones who should return to whatever law firm she allegedly worked for and the rest of the country alone.
I’m beginning to think this is getting as confusing as the Linday Lohan/George Michael marriage (See August 8th, 2006).

Wow, you have an active imagination, or at least have been quite active in time travel. HA. Good stuff. It would be pretty cool. Based on info on www.wwtdd.com today I would have thought it was the Lohan-Willis wedding though.
On a related topic, I hear you on Big Ben. I'm all for freedom to choose when it comes to wearing a helmet or seat belt. I just happen to think that if you choose not to, then you're an idiot (no offense to anyonye). Especially when you're making mad bank and have contractual obligations.
