Goodbye, 2012!

Well, contrary to all of the predictions, the world didn’t end in 2012.  So let’s take a moment and review what we learned in the year that was:

1.       Superstorms suck.

2.       So does Carl Rove- at predicting election outcomes.

3.       And speaking of elections, that line, “the 1980’s called,” still kills.

4.       People lose their shit over the thought of losing Twinkies.

5.       If your apartment is on fire, CORY BOOKER WILL SAVE YOU!!!!!  And if your power is out, CORY BOOKER WILL LET YOU STAY IN HIS APARTMENT!!!!

6.       “Call Me Maybe” is not nearly as annoying when Missy Franklin sings along to it.

7.       Two and a Half Men got really good!  Hahahahahahahaha!  Psych!

8.       Global warming is either a myth or very real, depending on whether or not you live in reality.

9.       Facebook going public?  Meh.

10.   A man jumping out of space with a parachute is really, really cool.

11.   We have all watched that Gangnam Style video.  Nobody knows why, though.

12.   Lance Armstrong was a cheater!  Shocker!

13.   Oh, that grumpy cat. 

14.   Oh, also, that slut, Sandra Fluke!  Geez, what a slut.   

15.   She should have been thrown in a binder full of women like the other 47% and fed to Rafalca.

16.   Oh my God, I just made three amazing Romney references in one sentence!

17.   Argh, if only I’d found a way to fit in Clint Eastwood!

18.   Michaela Maroney is not impressed.

19.   A woman being brutalized by her lover was seen as sexy in 50 Shades of Grey, but a woman breastfeeding her child on the cover of Time was deemed disgusting.

20.   Guys, seriously, I think Lindsay Lohan is on drugs.

21.   Honey Boo Boo surprised the world by showing that she is a talented young lady and the epitome of a gracious southerner.  Well done, TLC. 

22.   The NRA is pro-gun.

23.   You might hate Carrie, and you might hate Brody, but you love Saul.  Everybody loves Saul.

24.   More progress on the gay agenda has turned most of us gay. Or gayer.  

25.   Regardless of your political position, or your position on marriage, we can all agree that Paula Broadwell is kind of terrifying.  Those arms!  She could kill a man with those things!

26.   The most important hostage release of the year?  Katie Holmes.

27.   In related news: no one wanted to see Tom Cruise sing

28.   With his deciding vote on Obamacare, John Roberts solidified the fact that he was not going to get invited to Antonin Scalia’s Christmas party.

29.   Between these NASA guys and Nate Silver, nerds had a pretty good year.

30.   We’re pretty sure Facebook is doing something we don’t like with our privacy, but we’re too lazy to really do much more research beyond that.  Catswithknives likes this.

31.   Something something fiscal cliff. 

32.   The London Olympics rocked in the most awesome way possible.

33.   Heaven gained a legendary coach, an incomparable singer, the best part of the movie Tootsie, and too many children for us to comprehend.  Rest in peace.
