Hello,
Ducks!
Starzina
Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s Daily Horoscope for Thoroughly Modern
Millicent Martin, September 8, 2011.
Happy birthday to Chris, who turns twenty-four today. Also, happy
birthday to Mikel and Cherry Pop, who may not even be turning a TOTAL of
twenty-four today. And lastly but not
leastly, happy birthday to Kelly, who is turning twenty-four today, but is
being granted a birthday do-over upon some drier date of her choosing, at which
time she will not be required to turn any age whatsoever.
Speaking
of the rising floodwaters, you will notice that the Wreligious Wrong
Wrepubliklan Wingnuts and Whackadoodles have pretty much shut their pieholes
about all of these natural disasters being Divine Retribution ever since Texas caught
fire. Asshats.
Speaking
of things that are Divine, you really must toddle along to The
Wedding Consultant at your first
opportunity. (Your first opportunity
being, We might point out, tonight.)
Tickets are available here: http://ticketing.theatrealliance.org/sites/livearts/details.aspx?id=19622
; get ‘em while they’re HAWTT. You
cannot possibly want to miss a show which was walked out on by two old farts
and their Siamese twin grandchildren Chang and Eng for being “totally vulgar
and offensive”. (That is an actual quote
from an email to the Director of the Fringe Festival. We were given the opportunity to respond to
the leprous louse-infested old cuntbag, but We couldn’t think of anything vulgar
and offensive enough to call her. (Although We did do a happy little gay joy
dance at the concept of No Refunds…We have your money, you fungally-infected
fetid festering anal fistula! Hah!))
Speaking
of other things that are Divine, here is a lost episode of Touched By An Angel:
And
now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: Phyllis Diller’s ben-wa
balls. Alternatively,
the HorrorScope:
You
should get all the help you need today as you struggle with your big, new ideas.
(We had an idea once, but We lay down
until it passed. (Unless, of course, “big, new ideas” is a euphemism…will there
be someone interesting at Our show this evening? (Yeah, right.
That could happen.)))
It’s
nice to know you can fall back on others who share your P.O.V. and want to see
you succeed! (Ordinarily, One would
imagine that “P.O.V.” stood for “point of view”. This being Kelli, however, We are disinclined
to be sure.)
At
certain points today, you might feel as though you’re struggling to keep your
head above water, but don’t lose hope. (Gee, ya think that, given what people are
going through today, a little editing might’ve been in order there? Fucktard.)
By
the end of the day, you’ll be getting all the support and assistance you need. (Well, We need all the support and assistance
We need by eight o’clock. (Preferably
7:45.))
Maybe
someone will extend a looming deadline, get an annoying bully off your back, or
just make you laugh when you really need a good chuckle. (Or maybe they will
just point at Us and laugh as We go down for the third time (and not in a good
way)).
(Wow. These drowning metaphors are tough to avoid.)
The
affect that the people around you have on your life is especially powerful
today. (Oh. My. Gawd.
Welcome to PetPeeveVille, population Us.
The word you are looking for, Kelli you illiterate brain-damaged
imbecile, apparently with an equally moronic editor, is “effect” not “affect”. Jeebus!)
It’s
not easy to achieve your love goals if your soul mate standards are
unrealistic. (We do not find Our demands for a penis and a pulse
unrealistic. Correct Us if We are
wrong. (We thought We were worng once,
but We were mistooken.))
The
chances of a genius fashion model who adores all your annoying habits falling
in love with you are pretty slim. (We do not have “annoying habits”. We have “endearing idiosyncrasies.” Bitch.)
Keep
superhuman expectations to a minimum.
(Indeed. With Our luck, We’ll
meet Clark Kent, and never be able to find a phone booth.)

Starzina
Starfish-Browne was born in the wagon of a traveling show…well, okay, not
really. She was actually born in Lowake, Texas, the daughter of a beautician
and either a garage mechanic or the town mailman. At sixteen, she escaped her
humble beginnings by running off with Doctor Browne’s Traveling Medicine Show
and, more to the point, Doctor Browne. Following the dissolution of this
unfortunate entanglement (Doctor Browne was a Virgo and Starzina is, of course,
an Aries), which produced a daughter, Starzina entered a contest in Soap Opera
Digest and won a scholarship to Oxford (yes, in ENGLAND), where she earned her
doctorate in the newly-created dual major of Astrology and Human Sexuality.
There is absolutely NO TRUTH to the rumor that Starzina’s second daughter has
Royal blood, despite tabloid photographs allegedly depicting her cavorting on
the Italian Riviera with Princes William and Harry, clad only in Prussian
helmets and armbands of questionable taste. Starzina currently resides with her
daughters in Philadelphia, the City That Loves You (On Your) Back, where she
enjoys Double Coupon Day at the local SuperCruise and “encouraging” the
coxswain of the Penn rowing team.

ReplyDeleteOf COURSE your show is vulgar. I don't know anybody who'd want to see a show that isn't. And, if I'm going to follow that with something to back up my "opinion," it's pretty fair to say that anything that has mattered in the past twenty years of theatre has been, on at least one level, but probably more, vulgar with a capital 'V.'
