Hello, Ducks!
Starzina
Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s Daily Horoscope for ToozDee, June 12,
2012. We have so little to report that
this horoscope may actually delete itself as We type. Much like a tape self-destructing in five
seconds. (Which one of you smart-asses
just said, “What’s a ‘tape’?”?) So why
don’t YouPeople just sit there and listen to the theme from Mission: Impossible and wait for that to
happen.
Gawd,
YouPeople will believe anything. Didja
know that if you say “gullible” three times fast, it sounds just like “orange”?
How
many of you are actually hearing the theme from Mission: Impossible in your heads right now?
How
many of you are pixturing Us sitting at Our computer dressed up like Barbara Bain?
Well,
at least somebody’s having a good
morning.
Yesterday
was, of course, the last sketch comedy class of the semester. So fifteen young minds that We have helped to
mold in Our Own image have been unleashed upon an unsuspecting universe. Party with THAT thought.
Other
than that, We got nothin’. Let’s find
out what celebrity’s birthday it is…who the fuck is Kendra Baskett, and why
does she look exactly like Mister Ed, The Talking Horse?
Oh,
see, now…it’s Anne Frank’s birthday. If
she were (subjunctively) still alive, she’d be eighty-three. And really pissed
that all YouPeople have been reading her diary.
Here’s
the HorrorScope:
Don’t
dismiss the news that comes early today (Oh, shut up…We don’t have to listen to
you!)
(Heh. See what We did there? It was practically classic. Like the Greeks, and that lot.)
—
things are not going so well, (Really?
We hadn’t noticed. Also, let them
eat cake.)
and
you need to shore up your position to hold off a decline. (Hmm. It’s a good
thing there’s cake, then.)
The
good news is that things are just about to turn in your favor. (We shall hold Our breath and wait.)
When
you are showered with compliments today, (Take an umbrella. And wear your rubbers!)
and
you will be, try to accept them all graciously. (We are nothing if not
gracious. As in, “Gracious, what a
stupid compliment!”)
Don’t
go for false modesty, it simply does not become you. (Moonlight becomes you, it
goes with your hair…)
(Never
mind. Go back to the theme from Mission:Impossible.)
Be
grateful for the fact that the people around you have the sense to see how
wonderful you are, and thank them for it! (Oh, dear. Are you seeing the imaginary people again,
Kelli? (We’ll have what she’s smoking.))
You
have to get used to people telling you how great you are, (Sure. Right after We get used to being Queen of
Norway.)
because
it’s only going to happen more and more often as the days go by. (Is this like
that alternate universe where Superman wears black and white and eats
Kryptonite for breakfast?)
(You
didn’t think We’d know about that, didja?)
You
might as well start getting used to it today. (Well, We’ve nothing better to do.)
Romantic
ideas you have and plans you make during the day have the blessing of the
stars, so brainstorm and fire up that social calendar. (What does burning Our calendar have to do
with anything?)
As
for this evening, proceed with caution when it comes to love.
(This
space left intentionally blank.)
(Your
Your-O-Scopes:
(Meanwhile,
why We didn’t think of this sooner, We’ve got no idea, but better laid than
necking, as they say (and how right they are!). For real live actual
ass(tromlaogical) ho(roscopular) advice, please visit Our good friend AstroGeek
here: http://agskylab.blogspot.com/. Our Own
epistular musings are of use to you only insofar as making you feel better by
comparison, but he will give you actual pertinent advice for your very own
lives, based on upon the positions and transitations of all manner of planets,
planetoids, asteroids, Altoids™, hemorrhoids, and other heavenly flotsam,
jetsam, and Jetsons. Plus, he knows all about Uranus!)

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.
How many tracks does your tape have?
ReplyDeleteSeven and a half.
ReplyDeleteOh. Then I don't remember that kind of tape. Not at all.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I had to stop myself from saying it was reel-to-reel.
