Let’s Have A KiKi

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s Daily Horoscope for FriedDay, June 22, 2012.  Happy birthday to Chris, who turns twenty-four today.  Also, happy birthday to Mark, who also turns twenty-four today.  And Happy Gay Pride to Our NewYorkianese friends.

Oh, my dears!  Things are looking up here at Casa de KiKiForCocoaPuffs™! Several things are about to fall into place for Us…naturally, We can’t tell you about any of them, lest We jinx them, but suffice it to say, FiFi d’Orsay, that, if We play Our cards just right, We may become an overnight success just about the time We’re ready to retire.

To distract you from that mystery, Miss Marple, here’s this Soap Opera Name Generator.  http://www.hlntv.com/interactive/2012/06/12/whats-your-soap-opera-name  When We put in Himself’s name, We get “Austin Pertucci”.  When We put in Our Own Personal name, We get “Harlow Hall”.  Just for shitz and gigglez, We tried Iris Holcombe (“Krystal Grecko”) and Jesus Christ (“Gabriel Hart”).  Obviously, We are easily amused.  Just as obviously, We want you to input your own personal name and send Us your results.  Because We are starved for attention and live entertainment.

Some piece of spam wants to know if We need Our roof replaced…is that a euphemism with which We are unfamiliar?

In still other news, The Match Game : playing it We shall be on Friday, July 13 and Saturday, July 14, at 7:30, at L’Etage.  The SitOnMyFaceBook event is here:  http://www.facebook.com/events/234467316672300/ and tickets can be gotten here:  http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/255809 .  Be there, or be BLANK.)

But The Big Story On Action News….this has been quite the week for celebrity birthdays.  Despite starting off with WhoTheFuckIsBlakeShelton, We then had Paula Abdul, Nicole Kidman, and His Royal Heinie, Prnce William.  But that was all just a warm-up for today.  It is completely unclear why it isn’t a national holiday…how dare any workplace be doing business-as-usual on Meryl Fucking Streep’s birthday?!?!?

(Micro$oft Weird™ would like Us to know that, while “Meryl” and “Fucking” are words, “Streep’s” is not.  Seriously, Micro$oft Weird™?  On her BIRTHDAY?)

Here’s the HorrorScope:

Your intuitive powers are kind of hit or miss (We had a feeling that was the case.)

(Heh.  See what We did there?)

(Meanwhile, We just chanced to glance back a few paragraphs…since when is “heinie” not a word?)

— but on a day like today, you should find them working quite well!  (Well, don’t act so surprised about it!)

It’s almost spooky (Also, kreepy and kooky, and altogether ooky.)

(We had initially misremembered that as “krazy and kooky”, but We did the research and corrected Ourself, because that’s the kind of klassy professional operation this is.  Bitches.)

how they seem to keep you one step ahead of the competition.   (Wait…there’s competition?  Dear god in heaven, it’s not SWIMSUIT competition, is it?)

Women will play prominent roles in your day. (Yippee.  Once again, We are desperate and dateless.)

Mothers, aunts and friendly female neighbors will interact with you in a very powerful and interesting way. (At some point, We must tell all y’all about Our friendly female neighbor.  She’s about a hundred, and rides a scooter.  She thinks she knows Us from somewhere.  Did We mention that it sucks to be Us?)

These women have a lot of good insight for you, so listen when they offer their advice.   (Don’t encourage them!)

They’re not trying to tell you how to live your life (They’re trying to tell Us how THEY think We should live Our life.)

— they’re just trying to help you think of something you might not have considered before. (Consider yourself part of the furniture.  (Please, Sir, I’d like some Mormons.  (But only if they look like Wes Ramsey or Steve Sandvoss.)))

(We’ll take obscure cinema references for $500, Alex.)

 Resist your urge to just nod and smile at what they are saying.  (Insert image of Us nodding and smiling here.)

Give the feminine mystique extra credence today.  (Our feminist merit badge is about to be taken away…We were firmly convinced that The Feminine Mystique had been written by Germaine Greer, when in reality  (which is, parenthetically, vastly overrated (reality, that is, not The Feminine Mystique)) it was written by Betty Friedan.)

Your energy levels might be all over the place if you don’t take better care of yourself.  (To say nothing of Our litter-hairy references. (No, really…say NOTHING.))

Get plenty of sleep, eat healthy foods, lay off the java, and learn to relax. (Well, aren’t YOU just the pushy, demanding bitch?)

Those closest to you will appreciate your willingness to even out.  (What does that even MEAN?)

(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!)

I’m a little bit country

Hello, Ducks!

Starzina Starfish-Browne here with your Eric’s Daily Horoscope for Montag, June 18, 2012.  “Montag” is, of course, German for “what the fuck happened to the weekend?”  (“Maytag” is German for “you spent it doing laundry, dummkopf”.  (That last bit just sprang forth from Us, fully formed, like Athena from Zeus’s forehead.  (Remind Us to come back later and put a foreskin joke in here.) Sometimes ya work really hard for the funny, and sometimes it just comes to ya.))

She works hard for the funny, so hard for it, honey, she works hard for the funny so ya better treat her right…

That there was a little disco to get your Monday morning moving.  Just in case your Metamucil™ hadn’t kicked in yet.

So was anyone else not told that the WorldWideInterWebNetz were closing down for the weekend?  Saturday wasn’t so bad, but Sunday…Jeebus!  The InterNetz are creepy when you’re the only one there.  There were tumblin’ tumbleweeds, We’re tellin’ ya.  If ya played a YouTube video, it echoed.  There was only one Angry Bird.  All the porn was masturbation.  Scaaaaarrrryyyyy….

But you’re all back now, right?  (Who let all those crickets in here?)

Meanwhile, in Our very own City Paper (hi, Sara!), We saw an ad for “Semen Donors”.  Who knew you could place an ad for that? It even specified that they be between 18 and 35.  It didn’t say what they had to look like, but presumably that would get sorted out on the interview.  We shall be placing Our very Own ad immediately…finally, Our social life will be looking up!

And not a moment too soon…We never did make it on Our promised trip to Saskatoon this weekend.  (Most of you will remember Saskatoon from the old Bob Seger toon (heh) of the same name:  “Sas-ka-toon…that’s really, really where I’m goin’ to…if I ever get outta here, I’m going to Saskatoon…”)

We apologize…that whole last bit was an inside joke.  Speaking of inside jokes, here’s an inside joke punchline:  “Find the keys, and We’ll drive out”.

Heh.  We kill Us.

Here is an actual joke, in its entirety:

A guy comes home from work to see his girlfriend crying and packing all her stuff.  When he asks her what’s wrong, she sobs that she is leaving him because she just found out that he is a pedophile.  With a look of disbelief, he steps back and says, "Whoa! That’s a big word for a twelve-year-old!"

And, for the theatrically-minded amongst you, here’s this honest theatrical playbill:  http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-honest-theatrical-playbill

We spent much of the weekend thinking of things, and saying, “We must put that in the horoscope.”  Can We think of any of those things now?  No, We cannot.

We used to be into S&M, necrophilia, and bestiality, but then We realized we were just beating a dead horse.

Here’s the HorrorScope:

(According to Kelli, it is someone called Blake Shelton’s birthday today.  It is unclear to Us who that is, but he is unattractive and needs a shave.  (We have just Googled Mister Shelton on Wikipedia, and discovered that he is a country singer.  Which led us to wonder (as things do) whether other countries have country music.  And what other countries’ country music might sound like…say, for example, in Belize.  What does country music sound like in Belize?  Or in Chad? (It now occurs to Us, parenthetically, that those are Two Very Gay Countries.  Belize sounds like a drag queen, and Chad is a gay porn star.)  Let’s try this again…what does country music sound like in Bangladesh…now that’s making Us think of that old movie, inexplicably about baseball, called Bangladesh Slowly…))

(Let’s just abandon all that, shall We?  It was all much too much like work, anyway.  We were initially going to ask what country music was like in Kuala Lumpur, but then the InterNetz informed Us that Kuala Lumpur is a city, not a country.  Who knew?  The InterNetz also disabused Us of the notion that Bangladesh Slowly was a made-for-TV movie.  Apparently, it had Robert De Niro in it.  Now THAT was a makeup job.)

(If We were (subjunctively) a country singer, they would, of course, say of Us, “she puts the ‘cunt’ in ‘country’”.   Which is why We have refrained from that particular pursuit.  Well, that and Our gingham allergy. (Doesn’t “Gingham Allergy” sound like a character name from something?  The mink-clad wife of the chairman of the board in some 50s movie?))

(Our mind is a terrible thing to waste.  (Meanwhile, We are NEVER wasted when We write these e-pisstles.  This is Us (well, We) stone-cold sober.  Party with THAT thought.))

Clarity is absolutely everything today (Well, except for the little part that is Lady Clairol™.)

— communication depends on it, (That’s not the only thing with Depends™ on it.)

(If you pissed it then you shoulda put Depends™ on it…(Kiss Us quick, We’re geriatric Beyoncé.))

and so do your plans!  (And your pants!  (We’re pretty sure we’ve lost the thread.))

Make sure that you know what you want to say before you say it, (You think We PLAN what We’re gonna say in here?  BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAH!!!!)

as you only get one chance.  (And We consistently blow it.  (Where’s them semen donors?))

All eyes will be on you today, but don’t succumb to stage fright  (Have you met Us?  We do not “succumb”.)

— these eyes belong to very friendly, supportive people.  (Well, We still ain’t givin’ ‘em back.)

It looks as though this is one of those critical points you’ve been waiting for although you might not even have realized it. (Oh, please.  Let’s not start listing all the things We haven’t realized, or We’ll be here all week.)

You may be called to the stage to make an acceptance speech; be sure to have something genuine prepared. (Does a tasteful cocktail count?)

Use your time in the limelight to make big things start happening.  (PUBLIC semen donation?  Don’t mind if We do.)

You might want to head to a tearjerker matinee (Heh…Kelli said “jerker”.)

or have a session with the punching bag — you’ve got some internal goings-on that are going to come out one way or another.  (That was a whole lotta euphemism packed into one little sentence, young lady.)

Why not enjoy it?  (That’s why We placed the ad in the first place.  Semen donors…they’re not just for breakfast any more.)
