MORE Than True
Horror-scopes
disclaimer: Satire does not give you the right. But it can give you a
hard left.
this week: My personal square root was not, is not and will never be
any of your business. However, it’s super close to
3.1415926535897932384626433832795.
Doc P’s Word of the Week: phthisis. As in...
phthisis away again in Magarittaville.
Aries- Your proverbial ship is right now a-righting itself, never a-wrong, and
eternally tilting ever closer, closer I say!-- to an axis of freedom, where it
will spin for æons in fascinated orbit ‘round a fairer star,
sans the burns and spurns of freebooters’ skid marks, and vapor trails that
often ride roughshod over the faces of all but the blind—for they are worthy of
the truest salvation---not us, Nay!—never respite for those wicked of soul,
purloined and masticated under malfeasant jaws and malingering fogs—the yellow
kind that jam our gums and restrict our freedom loving intent upon the world.
We are newly anesthetized amongst the newly biopic embryos from golden days of
yore. Wake up, bring out your arvae, for we burn daylight, and the winds are
seeking new sails to fill.
Taurus- Every four years, we’re forced through
another election cycle of lying, paraphrasing, misrepresenting, apologizing,
and epithet mania. And every four years, at least half the country prays that
the other crazy guy doesn’t somehow win the office, ushering in another 8 year
era of misguided spending and who knows how deep or evil the bush hole goes,
especially when the vice president seems to be an oil magnate with a private
safe bigger than a person, and the right to shoot people in the face without repercussion.
Ooh-- my bad, pal, sorry about the direct hit, I thought you were a moose.
Happens to me all the time. One minute you’re calmly discussing the merits of
fiscal policy within the constraints of a reasonable conscience, and the next,
my finger just slips and, BOOM: your face meets my counterargument. For the
near future, sane winds are at our backs. Fret not-- our future will require
shades.
Gemini- Bananaquits
are no bullcrap. Yeah, I make up lots of words, but not the bananaquit, aka the
honeykeeper, aka sexual innuendo mucho sexy time boom boom...Anyhowdy, it’s a
bird, apparently, mostly in tropical regions. It’s yellow like a banana. Or
something really yellow. And then the other day, I heard this ‘accredited’
science goon on NPR, whose theory was that yellow didn’t exist until we had
created something yellow from our natural environs—rubbing dandelion on your
arm for example. Cripes. This esoteric semantic line drawing must be indicative
of a dearth of anything intelligent to talk about amongst the overwhelming
numbers of grad students with nothing better to study during their break at
Starbucks. The same school of thought postulates that the indigenous
populations of the ‘New’ World couldn’t see the ships of the conquistadors
because they had no prior experience of viewing such a sight. Bullcrap--I’ve
never seen a spaceship, but I will know it when it lands in my yard.
Bananaquits, Dude. Therein, lay the only objective truthiness. Cling, and find
your power animal’s color.
Cancer- Ahhh,
to be a nectaravore-- flitting flower to flower, usually amidst the warm
sunlight and humid air accompanied by monsoons and rainy seasons; sucking up
sweet plant sex juice through an extra long proboscis, or some other tube-like
sucking device that evolved beautifully according to the planned-out free will
of the multiverse; whose math may presently escape us, but that is nevertheless
findoutable®. Oh frak—the free will kerfuffle. Okay…despite my love of
Rush---the band, not the crappy movie, and not the Premium Rush, now available,
probably on dvd by now, which is probably good if for no other reason because
Levitt is pretty cool---free will is a construct, in this author’s official
opinion, not true by any standards, save for those decided upon by faith or fear
or outside pressure. Your time to decide is nigh. Choose with your heart and
nothing can go awry, and sweet sweet plant sex juice will be ripe and
juiceilicious®.
Leo- As an an illustration of irony, I posit the
adorably named village of Upper Slaughter on the River Eye in Britain. Its
little known distinction is that it’s one of a very small number of towns that
suffered no casualties from either WW I or II. Nobody, not one guy didn’t come
home. And the town’s name is Slaughter. Granted, one guy came home with
syphillus because, like Ben Franklin said, “these french whores--they are
really tres nice!” Point is, that the people of Upper Slaughter are
unbreakable. And that is where we will run, when the zombies come. You and I
will merge our beautiful genes into the pools of those that even war cannot
destroy---not even world wide ones!
We alone will save the human race from ugliness, with a new generation of
unbreakable zombie killing adepts.
Virgo- One furlong
per fortnight is very nearly 1 centimeter per minute (to within 1 part in 400--duh..).
The speed of light may be expressed as being roughly 1.8 terafurlongs per
fortnight. That said—the beard-second is where our deepeth concern layeth. Yes,
a beard grows at a speed we can measure--roughly 100 angstroms, or 5 nanometers
per something something. We measure time by things that happen at levels of
reasonable sensory perception for every human on the planet; save for the
select few who are in tune with frequencies beyond our ken, those destined to
be transcendent of mere timespace. You’re not one of them btw. You and I are
destined for a purpose maligned and mundane and pedestrian, but that is
actually de- and be- atific to a max that is indeed hardcore and extreme and
tubular. It will hit you when you are quiet, when your mind stops being you for
a good five seconds. Let go and be what you’re like, be like yourself.
Libra- Hey world—let it be known that I own this: SCHNERD!®. And yes, my Pops can share
credit, but I’m the one doing the legwork and I’m the one taking this to the
next level—SCHNERD!® It’s a unit of
measurement that is equal to a mmpphhhner--
which I could only dream of owning; but alas that divine right belongs to the
kings---the Sagan, the Seldon, the Clarke---food for gods beyond my ken and
ability to ken, both noun and verb, simultaneously future and past…Shithowdy,
no, I refuse to be distracted from destiny: the SCHNERD!®--- a distance equivalent to: “this much minus two times
the power of splitting the difference”, end quote and bless us everyone. I
bring this novelty to your attention because you need to move a SCHNERD!® to your left—emotionally that
is. Not too much! Just enough to see around the white elephant that been
blocking your view of the Taj Mahal that’s right in front of you.
Scorpio- Consider this a quick first draft of one of my upcoming theses on the
language of evolution, infuturely® published by whatever unknowable entity can
efficaciously publish literature for the science minded yet lazy of degrees:
The Tree of Life (the Haekel version) is a nifty early analogy for
understanding the shape of evolutionary progress. And here’s my underlying
postulate: some trees, like aspens, form clonal colonies, meaning that all
trees in a given area are part of a singular organism that spreads by its
roots. Therefore: the Tree of Life is more accurately a clonal colony, with a
nifty third dimension, so that we can travel through timespace along
evolutionary lines, better illustrating our relationship to everything else,
not as one tree heading ever skyward, but multiple trees over time spread
throughout the galaxy, like a virus or a plague, or collective human thought
and intention. The world is, the world is love and
life are deep. Maybe as your skies are wide…
Sagittarius- Your power animal of the week is a
buttonquail. Thereforergo®, keep a wary eye out for sheathbills and megallanic
plovers, for they tend towards the stabby end of the avian spectrum. If you
encounter a fairy warbler, be not concerned howeversomewhat, for it is your
ally, and will ride down to hell with you, should the need arise. Also, they
have access to the best drugs. Now…there are nicators out there who will tell
you that it’s all bushtits and field mice and bopping ‘em on the head. But I’m
here to tell ya, the real danger is the shrike. A shrike kills its prey by
impaling it onto thorns. These birds invented the kabob. They make the
megallanic plovers look like the Amish. Maintain the buttonquail in your mind
at all times. Get a buttonquail tattoo on your most delicate private part. It’s
the smart move, and you’ll be safe and unimpaled.
Capricorn- You are a bourbon democrat that utilizes
aggressive mimicry to achieve your fowl ends and corny corollaries concocted by
cannibals from Ceylon’s Isle of way olden times gone by; times left for dead,
lain strangling and gasping on foreign beachheads and lonely strangways; time
that would sooner eat your liver over a millennia than let you destroy it
through self anointed inebriation and insultation by next Thursday. You are
crepuscular, utilizing the dawn or dusk for true inventiveness, shying away
from the bright light of day for fear of the circling brain predators; who
would steal your thunderous inspirations to hold as their own, being empty
headed thieves and jealous knaves. Get your own lightning. Make your own boom
stick. You are the plethora of independent awareness. And if anyone tells you
what to do, just kick ‘em shinward, and say, you can speak your mind, but not
on my time.
Aquarius- Ontogeny
recapitulates phylogeny. And, no, I’m not just whistling dixie cups. Patterns,
patterns, patterns. And often I ask myself whether my point of view is
objective enough to understand all these patterns. Am I really seeing the world
with the clarity and distance, or do I always see what I want to see, because
that’s what makes sense. Make the facts fit the theory, because odds and Occam
agree with me. Do the rules of the very large translate to the world of the
subatomic? Does this Higgs field contain anything that is not formed first in
my imagination. And is distance even possible in a world that only exists
because of some will, a god, a creator, a thinking and desiring machine that
spins world upon world from an unseen loom hiding deep in the zero dimension
where odds and Occam will never travel? One cannot be separate from that which
you are synecdochous.
Pisces- There are a million things to be whispered
softly and aurally that could benefit your current state of affairs. There are
a billion salves that might ease whatever pain you might be swimming in right
now. There is a googol of nepenthes and succors that exist in this ‘verse, some
beyond your scope that could provide you comfort from cyclonic embolisms and
recurring seasonal fracases that mar and bloody your nasal pride and empathetic
urges. A googolplex exists for your perusal and plucking, that most likely
contains the seeds of inspiration and rainbow means of travel to propel you to
the next big stage-- the place and time amidst timespace where you own
everything and no one can take it away. However, here’s the rub: you are the
source. You are the salve. You are a font with enough water to last for
eternity. The font of strength inside you is nowhere near depletion because it
cannot be depleted—ever.
