Fubar the Adequate first gained prominence as a prognosticator in January, 1992 when he correctly predicted the diplomatic faux pas of then President George Herbert Walker Bush.

As he was sitting in a bar watching live CNN coverage of the commander-in-chief's visit to the state dinner hosted by Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa, Fubar turned to the guy next to him and said, "Dude! He totally looks like he's going to hurl!"

Shortly thereafter, as the head table was being served a plate of Japanese beefsteak, President Bush blew chow.

Amazed by Fubar's intuitive clairvoyance, fellow inebriates insisted on rewarding the fledgling prophet with repast for the balance of the night. Several days later, when Fubar regained consciousness next to a dumpster behind a Red Roof Inn south of Dubuque, Iowa, he correctly foresaw that his marriage would undergo an extended period of discord marked by involuntary monastic celibacy. Despite the misery that Fubar endured, however, there was no question that a psychic was born.

Honing his newfound skills by reading the collective works of such world-famous mediums as Madame Beata, Sydney Omarr, Jeanne Dixon, Sandi Anastasi, and Abigail Van Buren, Fubar later broadened the scope of his psychic abilities through the use of the tarot.

Past life regression has shown that Fubar has existed for centuries, acting as advisor in his various incarnations to such historic luminaries as Catherine the Great, Alexander the Great, Cyrus the Great, Constantine the Great, and Peter the Great. In fact, it was Catherine the Great who dubbed Fubar with his title. As she slid underneath the horse, Fubar correctly foresaw the inadvisability of her actions, and uttered the famous words, "Um, that doesn't seem like a good idea."

Only a few moments later, as Catherine lay dying, she admitted that, as a sage and prophet, Fubar was "better than nothing."

From that moment on, the young soothsayer was forever destined to be known as "Fubar the Adequate."
