Wow, that Annie had some risqué lyrics, no?
Hello, Ducks!
Starzina
Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s! Daily! Horoscope! for WinesDay, July 24nd , 2013. Happy Birthday to Kim, who turns twenty-four
today right here in The City of Brotherly Love Handles. Can you believe We’re in Leo already?
Neither
can he.
Ba-DUMP-bump. (Schtick around for da jokes.)
So
One Direction’s “Best Song Ever” may
not actually BE the best song ever, but it sure does get stuck in your head,
dunnit? Oh, sure, it’s no “Hennery the
Eighth I Am”…(Second verse, same as the first…
I
am Hennery the Eighth, I am
Hennery
the Eighth, I am, I am
I
got married to the widow next door
She’d
been married seven times before.
And
every one was a Hennery (Hennery)
There
never was a Willy or a Sam (No Sam)
I’m
her eighth old man, I’m Hennery
Hennery the Eighth, I am, I am
Hennery the Eighth, I am…
…Oh, is THAT stuck in your head now? Too bad, so sad, anal sex with your dad.)
Is anyone else wondering about this poor widow next door
who somehow managed to marry seven men without willies? Just Us?
Alrighty, then.
And thus We have, once again, brilliantly demonstrated
Our ability to conjure up somethingness out of nothingness, which should stand
Us in good stead if and when We ever sit down to write Our as-yet nonexistent
Fringe show.
And
here is the HorrorScope:
In
case you missed it, it’s Amelia Earhart’s birthday. (Heh.
See what We did there?) Also Ruth
Buzzi’s. And, speaking of British boy
bands and Harry-Styles-wannabes, someone called Jay McGuiness from The Wanted
is not-quite-twenty-four today.
Try
to make a play today (Mmm-hmm. Because all the best plays were written in
one day. Just ask Will-I-Am
Shakespeare. He wrote (oh, who DIDN’T
see this coming?) Hennery the Eighth I Am. ”…(Second verse, same as the
first…
I
am Hennery the Eighth, I am
Hennery
the Eighth, I am, I am
I
got married to the widow next door
She’d
been married seven times before.
And
every one was a Hennery (Hennery)
There
never was a Willy or a Sam (No Sam)
I’m
her eighth old man, I’m Hennery
Hennery the Eighth, I am, I am
Hennery the Eighth, I am…)
(YouPeople are so easy!)
—
your goals are that much closer to completion! (As We mentioned recently, from now on, when
We see the word “goal”, We are mentally replacing it with “koala”. So We are damn near ecstatic that Our koalas
are closer to completion. Whatever the
fuck THAT means.)
Things
should keep moving your way, (Why does that sound suspiciously like a threat?)
but
you have to contribute some energy to really make it happen. (Oh, sure. Stick a broom up Our ass and We’ll sweep the
floor while We’re at it.)
Go
for it! (What is this “it” of which you
speak?)
Ever
been on the verge of finishing a jigsaw puzzle only to discover the last piece
has gone missing? (Yeah. ‘Cause that’s what We do here, is sit around
doing jigsaw puzzles. But only when We
get too tired of macramé.)
And
remember how frustrating it feels to not find it after hours of searching, (Why,
yes. Yes, We DO remember how frustrating
it feels.)
only
to discover it a day later hiding under the sofa’s dust ruffle? (What the hell kind of gay fag homosexual sofa
has a goddamn DUST RUFFLE?)
A
small but possibly life-changing piece of your own personal puzzle will fall
into place, but only when you’re not hunting for it. (Is a personal puzzle like
a personal pan pizza? (Actually, they are ALL personal pan pizzas if you do it
right.) And can you keep a personal pan
pizza in your purse?)
(On
a related note, remember when Human Resources used to be called “Personnel”?
That was before they realized that you can’t spell “Who cares?” without HR.)
Don’t
try and force this; it’ll happen quite nicely on its own. (You’ve already insinuated that you think We’re
the sort of person whose sofa has a dusty ruffle; how forceful do you think We’re
gonna be?)
You’re
driven by ambition, as you are so often, but romance demands a lighter touch. (Show Us on the doll where the lighter
touched you.)
(That
didn’t really make any sense, did it?)
Save
the bold moves for the working world or traffic, and let that personal
situation evolve at its own pace. (That
sentence? Needs more P words. Just sayin’.)
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

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.
Sitting here (at work) picturing you "doing" a jigsaw puzzle has got me giggling.
ReplyDeleteMmmm ... Pan pizza.
Back to giggling...
PERSONAL pan pizza in your purse. It's like that old "pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold" nursery rhyme. Except with pizza.
DeleteMmmmmm....pizza.
Mmmm... Porridge.
