Consider this a small time capsule, I'm going to do my best to bookmark this and not forget it's here, and then pull it back up in five years to see which predictions were right...

In 5 years:

• A gallon of gasoline will cost $6 per gallon
  
• A dollar will be worth .45 Euros
  
• A dollar will be worth .33 GBP
  
• Diesel will be at $6.60 per gallon
  

What else?

Gambling will be legal in Texas.

I will be five years older than I am today

Aggie Mens Basketball will have made the Final Four once, but the Sweet 16 twice!

You won't make it above 50%. (to the OP)

Freebirds will get bought out by Chipotle

Thanks to the bird flu, toucans will go extinct.

flying cars
time machines
return of crystal pepsi

Marijuana will be legal in CA, if not more states.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

In five years I'll be almost as old as ENG is today.

scary.

RO - what say you about the $1 = .45e and $1 = .33 pound?

I think he has that bassackwards

The scourge of imported shrimp will forever be but a distant memory in the far reaches of a red blooded American shrimper's mind.

amen to that Goose

and I predict that in 5 years, NA will still have never touched a boobie

I've touched sea bass' mom's boobies.

who hasn't

the current war on terror will have another front

obama will be in his second term.

if that's the case, the other front will probably be on american soil

Well, it's been 5 years, so lets go ahead and look back and see what was accurate, what was not and whatever else....

A gallon of gasoline will cost $6 per gallon – Way off, not even close, $3.29
A dollar will be worth .45 Euros– Way off, not even close, .77
A dollar will be worth .33 GBP– Way off, not even close, .66
Diesel will be at $6.60 per gallon– Way off, not even close, $3.60 something?
Gambling will be legal in Texas. – Not yet, but legislation pending?
I will be five years older than I am today– Our first winner, assuming you’re still alive, please check in for verification
Aggie Mens Basketball will have made the Final Four once, but the Sweet 16 twice! – Billy Kennedy is probably not the answer
You won't make it above 50%. (to the OP) – Rock On may be more Nostradamus than I’ll ever be
Freebirds will get bought out by Chipotle– Regular wheat, no rice, black beans, white chicken, lots of veggies and hot sauce, but not bought by Chipotle
Thanks to the bird flu, toucans will go extinct. – Not the way of the dodo yet.
flying cars– Way off, not even close
time machines– Undetermined
return of crystal pepsi– If it came back, it’d take Kyle Field by storm
Marijuana will be legal in CA, if not more states. – Partial credit, WA and CO smokin….
In five years I'll be almost as old as ENG is today. – Again, check in for life verification
The scourge of imported shrimp will forever be but a distant memory in the far reaches of a red blooded American shrimper's mind. – Pretty sure I had some shrimp from Taiwan recently, Gulf Fail #BPCares
and I predict that in 5 years, NA will still have never touched a boobie– He said he touched Seabass’ mom’s boobs.
the current war on terror will have another front– do I want to go political here with gun bans domestically?
obama will be in his second term. – 3rd term coming? You saw he sneaked in removing term limits in the fiscal cliff paperwork right?
if that's the case, the other front will probably be on american soil– Controversially right, and controversially wrong.

He worked in a repeal of the 22nd Amendment?

Texas like Virginia will print it's own currency.

Still here, and five years later, I'm almost as old as ENG already was five years ago.

this thread.

Let's do another one for 2018.


I hope I'm not still here in 2018.

By "here" do you mean your mother's house?

OP, how did you remember this on the correct day? I'm impressed.

Please make more future predictions

Quality thread bump

Not sure why, but on the watchlist I saved this thread and since I don't start many threads anymore (though I have wayyyyyyyyy too may posts) I continued to see this one. Thought it would be fun to follow up on this and literally kept remind myself as 4/22 approached.

I actually went through it and crafted the response a couple of weeks ago. I posted before updating the current currency/commodity value updates so that's why you see an edit.

Lacks any bold predictions about our MNC football run.
