Hello, Ducks!
Starzina
Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s Daily Horoscope for ToozDee, September 18, 2012. Happy birthday to Liz, who does NOT turn
twenty-four today. In fact, We wished
three people a happy birthday on SitOnOurFaceBook this morning, and, as near as
We can tell, not ONE of them was turning twenty-four. Sigh.
Fortunately, an arcane WorldWideInterWebNetzian alerting service alerted
Us to a fourth birthday…so happy birthday to JR, who turns twenty-four today.
That
almost sounds like an endorsement of “ask and ye shall receive”, dunnit? Well, it’s not. Once again, around these parts, We have had
proven for Us “ask and ye shall NOT receive”, which is the corollary to “don’t
look forward to anything, because you will assuredly be disappointed”, which can
be stated more succinctly as “expect nothing, and you’ll be disappointed anyway”. Sigh.
But
enough of this levity. Tickets are selling
like hotcakes for The Match Game, so grab yours quick before they’re gone:

There are only six more shows: Wednesday at 7:30 and 9:30, Friday and Saturday
at 7:30, and Sunday at 6 and 8. People
were seriously complaining on Sunday that their faces hurt from laughing so
hard. We are NOT making that up.

your morning horoscope:
Here’s
the HorrorScope:
Oh,
see, now. That jackass of a Kelli told
Us that Jada Fucking Pinkett Smith’s birthday was yesterday, and here it turns
out it’s today. You are an
Ass(tromalogical) Ho(roscopulist) with ONE fucking job to do, and you can’t
even get THAT right. Meanwhile, today is
also June Foray’s NINETY-FIFTH birthday.
Who is June Foray, you ask? Only
the voice of Rocket J. Squirrel in Rocky
and Bullwinkle.
Someone
close to you needs some serious help (Oh, please…EVERYONE close to Us needs some
serious help.)
—
and you are the only one who can give it to them! (But who’s going to give it to Us?)
Make
sure that you’re really listening, (Sorry…did you say something?)
(Heh. See what We did there?)
as
they may clue you into something quite important. (Alternatively, they may tell Us how they
keep their toilet bowl clean between scrubbings.)
There’s
no need to keep worrying about a conversation that you need to have today (No one will return Our phone
calls/emails/text messages anyway.)
—
all you need to do is look the other person right square in the eyes, (Who is this “other person” of whom you
speak?)
and everything will be fine. (And dandy. Like a hard-candy Christmas.)
(What?)
Your
image matters, (Not, apparently, to anyone but Us, but still…)
and
you need to be mindful of how you come across to the other person. (Again with this “other person” delusion. Honey, when they are inflatable, they don’t
really count.)
You
need to look calm, confident and correct. (The phrase you are looking for is “cool,
calm, and collected”. Cunt.)
(Micro$oft
Weird™ would like Us to know that “Cunt.” is a sentence fragment. Thank you, Micro$oft Weird™.)
What
you say isn’t nearly as important as how you say it, (Clearly, that is why you
are such a brilliant writer, Kelli. Oh,
also? Shut. Up.)
so
spend more time preparing your demeanor,
(To say nothing of Our misdemeanor.
(No, really…say NOTHING.))
and
make sure you are dressed appropriately. (What does One wear to a Lithuanian luau?)
(We
have no idea where that came from…just go with it.)
Feeling
as if you’ve hit the wall, romantically speaking? (Actually, that doesn’t sound
romantic at all.)
It’s
time to call up someone who knows what they’re talking about. (Well, that leaves out everyone who is
currently speaking.)
Who
possesses love longevity? (Lorna Luft?
Lindsay Lohan? Larry Linville?)
(That? Was much easier than you would think it would
be. True fact.)
Find out the key to their success and proceed
accordingly. (Or just tell that old joke
whose punchline is, “Find the keys and we’ll drive out”.)
(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.

ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for his being 15, I'm guessing my nephew, Liam Lunny, would have "love longevity," but since that's a fictional thing, I think we should just give it to Lois Lane or Lex Luther and see what they can do with it. It's just GOT to be useful in overthrowing everything and creating a New World Order (which will be covered by Lane in a Pulitzer Prize-winning, front page, above the fold Daily Planet articles.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank your lucky starzinas that I'm a "someone." Not only did I respond to an email of yours, I called your mobile, leaving an actual factual message. It's amazing how well the 21st century can function when folks applies the rules of the 20th century in when communicating.
I'm trying yo give up writing/sending (too many) run-on emails and messages, but Miss Manners was no idiot when she suggested that any type of modern communication deserves a response no later than 24 hours after it was first placed.
The real question is this: does returning a call in a reasonable amount of time mean that I am, indeed, a "no one," or am I just thinking too much about it (which would also make me a "no one," I'm guessing). The answer may not matter, but these is troubled times, they is.
