Hello, Ducks!
Starzina
Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for Friday, June 21nd,
2013. Happy Birthday to Darnelle, who We
thought was turning twenty-four today right here in The City That Loves You (On
Your) Back, but it turns out is turning twenty-four in Jersey City, New Jersey,
which wants for all the world to sound like “New York, New York”, but doesn’t. Happy Birthday also to Edgardo, who also
turns twenty-four today, in Lancaster.
Shoo-fly pie, Rumspringa. (That’s
Amish for “swimming pools, movie stars”.)
Also, Happy Birthday also too to Peter, who also too turns twenty-four somewhere
in Greater Bostonia. And, last but not
Lee Strasberg, Happy Birthday to Prince William, who has caused Us to reprise
one of Our most-popular-ever Eric’s!Daily!Horoscope! Pixtures Du Jour Au Jus No
Muss No Fuss Leave The Driving To Us Which Should Really Be No Moo No Foo Leave
The Driving To Nous Because We Love When We Can Make A Frawnch Joke For Our Sistah
Ovella.
No,
but seriously…you have no idea how many people stumble across these hallowed
pages by searching for “Prince William naked”.
Our Google-O-Meter™ tells Us so, and Our Google-O-Meter™ would not
lie. Oddly, no one ever gets here by
searching for “Prince Albert in a can”.
All
of which leads Us to a short digression about Englishmen and Frenchmen, which
will eventually be finding a larger audience in Our one-woman show in this year’s
Philadelphia Fringe Festival, which it’s about time We started writing, so herewith
some multitasking towards same. To wit,
all Englishmen are gay. They only fuck
women to be polite, and to procreate. Pip,
pip, sporting, what? Meanwhile, no
Frenchmen are gay. They only fuck men
because they are randy bastards who will fuck anything that holds still. Including but not limited to freshly-caught
fish, household appliances, and hedgehogs.
Don’t
even get Us started on Chinamen.
Gentle
Readers who have been around the block at least once will now be one step ahead
of Us in inventing the epithet “Hedgehog Fucker”. You’re welcome.
Truly
astute Gentle Readers, meanwhile, missed the entire racial segment, as they are
still busy pondering the difference between “Prince Albert in a can” and “A Prince Albert in YOUR can”.
Did
We mention that We’re going to be doing a one-woman show? ThankYouVeryMuch, We’llBeHereAllWeek, Don’tForgetToTipYourWaitress.
Speaking
of shows, We were very distressed when Our murder mystery was cancelled for
this evening, especially as We were having a friend come to see it. This marks the second time one of Our friends
has been thwarted in their efforts to see the fruits of Our labors; last time,
it was because the entire show was sold out to a group. This time, it was because there were not enough
reservations. All things considered, We preferred
last time.
In still other news, you will notice
the penultimate appearance above of Our Starzina’s
Time of the Month Horoscope: GEMINI 2013 video. We expect you will do
your usual bang-up job of sharing it with all of your friends using this link: http://youtu.be/Yj7enrUk6js , because
you care about Us like that.
For those who enjoy history, here is
Our Gemini 2011 video, which was Our very first one:
And now the HorrorScopes:
Here’s a bizarre celebrity birthday factoid
that We had not known before (or perhaps We had known and forgot…who knows? We don’t.):
Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross, who played Michael J. Fox’s parents
on Family Ties, were both born on
this date, in the same year. Spooky, no?
Your cultural ideas are starting to take
shape today, (Obviously. We’ve already
shared Our cultural ideas about Englishmen and Frenchmen. If We get around to the Chinamen, you’ll know
why Fifty Million Frenchmen Aren’t Named Wong.)
(Heh.
We kill Us.)
and you may want to indulge in a creative
romp. (Oh, We SO do! A romp, and then perhaps
a rumpus. We hear there’s a room for
that.)
(Romp, rumpus, Rumspringa…coincidence? We think not.)
Your amazing, fiery energy (Sorry…what?)
makes it easy to impress people (It is always
easy to impress them if they are easily impressed.)
(There’s a song in there somewhere, don’t’cha
think?)
and to learn more about them. (Could We learn LESS about them instead? KThxBye.)
You’ll be the consummate student today (See,
if that were (subjunctively) Frawnch, it would be “consommé student”. And how stupid would you feel, standing
around studying broth? (Meanwhile, if
One studies whores in a whorehouse, would One study broth in a brothel? (Existential questions like these are the
reason why We never get anything done around here.)))
(Meanwhile, We mistyped “whorehouse” in that
last segment, and Micro$oft Weird™ suggested “warehouse”. Seriously, Micro$oft Weird™?)
— your mind is inquisitive and your energy is
focused (That’s odd…earlier, it was “amazing”.
And “fiery”. Make up your damn
mind, hedgehog fucker.)
on acquiring new knowledge. (Well, new to Us,
anyway. For example, We are now fairly
certain that We already knew that thing about Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross’s
birthdays, but had forgotten it. So, now
that We know it again, does it take up a whole second brain cell, or does it
just go back to the first one?)
You are also already smart enough to know
that you don’t know everything, so why not just admit it? (We have no idea..why
not?)
(Heh.
See what We did there?)
Don’t be afraid to show the holes in your
intelligence — after all, that’s the only way to fill them up! (Was it just Us, or did that sound positively
filthy? (And, if so, would this be a
good place for another “a Prince Albert in your can” joke?))
Your ego is strong enough to weather a lesson
in something simple that you think everyone else already knows, so step up and
ask an expert for a lesson. (How many
hedgehogs would a woodchuck fuck if a woodchuck could fuck hedgehogs?)
A chance rendezvous leads you back to an old
romance (See, We started this off by pronouncing “chance” the Frawnch way to go
along with “rendezvous”, but now you‘ve thrown “romance” in there and screwed
everything up.)
that you thought had permanently fizzled. (Fo’ shizzle mah nizzle.)
(Da fuq?)
Hmm — why didn’t this work out again? (Possibly
because We’ve finally lost the rest of what’s been passing for Our mind?)
Don’t dwell on the past. (But it’s so difficult to dwell on the
future.)
Focus on the present (Yay, presents!)
and explore the possibilities instead. (Can
We explore Prince William’s Speedo™ instead?)
In
gaseousness,
Starzina Starfish-Browne
(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

friend AstroGeek here: http://agskylab.blogspot.com/. Our Own

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.
"50 million Frenchmen aren't named Wong" caused an eruption of milk which began in my mouth and ended up through my nose and onto the keyboard. So, thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean I have a drinking problem?
Oh, and merci for the Frawnch jokes.
