Hello, Ducks!
Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your
Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for Tuesday’sChildIsFullOfGraceMuchLikeHailMary,
February 5, 2013. So We were dicking around on the WorldWideInterWebNetz, as
One does, minding other people’s business, when We noticed that We have thirty-eight
SitOnOurFaceBook friends who are not friends with HimSelf. No wonder he stays in bed all day…no one
likes his ass! Loser.
Meanwhile, from The Things That Really Don’t
Need To Happen Department, NBC has greenlighted a remake of the 60s-70s
cop-in-a-wheelchair drama Ironside. Because
folks were just CLAMORING for that.
CLAMORING, We tell ya.
In other news, is NBC still on television, or
are they just radio now?
And now, an Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope! Public
Service Announcement on the subject of early detection of breast cancer:
Speaking of the WaitStaff, We shall be
playing The VD Match Game on Friday and Saturday, February 15 and 16,
at 7:30 at L’Etage. Please check out Our
SitOnMyFaceBook event and say you’re coming:
http://www.facebook.com/events/279672565493605/ Our Sistah Ovella, for those of you who know
her, will be playing also. Get your tickets here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/331562
Here is a little Aquarius fillum, for Our
birthday Aquarians:
Mark
Zuckerberg just liked something on FaceBook.
What does that even mean?
And here are the HorrorScopes:
In celebrity birthdays today, somebody called Jeremy
Sumpter is actually turning twenty-four today.
We don’t know who the fuck he is, but We intend to spend the rest of the
day looking for naked pictures of him on the InterNetz.
You’re feeling pretty independent (Which is different than feeling pretty in
Depends™. Which has a much higher degree
of difficulty.)
— even more so than usual (Don’t pee in your panties, Darling. (Kiss Us quick, We’re Petula Clark.))
(Has anyone other than Petula Clark ever actually been
named Petula? Find out and get back to
Us, won’t you?)
— and your ideas may be a little further from the
mainstream than usual. (Heh. She said “stream”, just after We talked about
peeing in Our Depends™. Let the river
run….)
See if you can just slide some in without debate. (Exsqueeze Us?)
A foreign person
will have a very positive influence in your life today, (Catherine Deneuve…Gerard
Depardieu…does Johnny Depp count as being from France?)
especially if they are a person from your past. (What if they are a person from Our
future? We have a time machine in the credenza,
you know.)
What they have to say is going to surprise you, (SURPRISE!!!)
but you should give them the benefit of any doubt. (Why? What are they going to give Us?)
They are reaching out to you, (But are they touching Us?)
and it is a very good idea for you to reach right back. (Once
more, dear friends, unto the breach…reach, reach unto the breach! (Well, it may be Shakespeare, but it’s sure
as hell no “Push, push in the bush”.))
Don’t force anything romantic right now. (Because that?
Would be called “rape”.)
Leave yourself an emergency exit just in case things burst
into flames. (Which happens. A
lot. Especially to Us.)
Poke around in the embers (Now, that’s just dirty.)
without throwing any gas on the fire (Don’t fart on the
fire, Darling…(Oh, shut up, Petula Clark.))
— remember, safety first. (Followed immediately by Jeremy
Sumpter naked. (Ooops…now people
searching for “Jeremy Sumpter naked” are going to wind up here instead. Won’t they be pissed?))
(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.
"Pretty in Depends" MUST become SOMETHING. I suspect that it wouldn't go over in their ad department (but that's just because they're selling to people who were born in the wrong decade(s?). In a few more years, their customers will be made happy by an ad campaign with a slogan like that. And since they won't have that much else to be happy about, they'll probably reward the Depends(TM) folks with purchases. Purchases coming out of their asses.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want to wait that long to profit off of something that you didn't realize was profitable, you can make a nice little sketch out of it or maybe write the lyrics of a song that you can send to me. It's possible that all of these things can happen.
You might want to reference (musically or lyrically or maybe just by mentioning Melani Griffith and/or Sigourney Weaver, but I'd keep from mentioning Carly Simon, since the way she spells her name suggests she has no sense of humor. (That and the fact that she uses the phrase "come the new Jerusalem" in a theme song for a movie that has nothing to do with any such place... not unless you think hard about it, which detracts from the fact that the movie is supposed to be a comedy or something.)
I've been told today that I'm a little too pushy and opinionated. That isn't true, is it?
I think your needle skipped songs in the middle...
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'm hearing "Pretty in Depends" to the tune of "Panic in Detroit", so what do I know?
My needle skipped because I was referencing your reference to "Let The River Run," which was the theme song to Working Girl.
ReplyDeleteI figured, why not get it all in there? I wasn't going to throw breast cancer into the mix, but I did like the video.
Oh, I knew what you were referencing...it was just so sans segue.
ReplyDeleteI knew that you knew, but I wasn't sure if you knew that I knew what you know, but I think we got it all worked out now.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I probably should have provided a segue of some sort, but I just took it for granted that you'd know what I meant. (And you did.) Our personal shorthand is well established, but I suppose it doesn't always makes sense to anybody else who might be reading it. (Depending on which day it is, I might not even know my own shorthand, which isn't so much scary as it is my reality. We can call it a fact, but it isn't a fact every day. So maybe it's a SURreality?)
