Cranky Large Medium reading, 3 October

Go away.

What did I just tell you? Scram. Twenty-three skidoo. Make like a tree and leave.

Are you still here? Criminy! And I suppose you want me to read your palm, or something. Tell you something you don't already know, about yourself. Sheesh.

Sigh. If you were born on this date, then,

Well, smarty-pants, you spend a lot of time with your books, don't you? You talk a good game, as well. You have trust issues with even your friends, not confiding in them even when they view you as their true friend. Still, when you decide to fall in love, you have all the makings of a stalker, for your fervor. You are ethically and romantically rigid and supremely secretive.

Think you have it hard? At least you're able to check out the internet... unlike all these people who died on this date: Gaius Cassius Longinus, David ap Gruffydd, Mahkate:wi-meši-ke:hke:hkwa, Kintpuash, Elias Howe, Edouard Lucas, John Crank (no relation), Saint Francis of Assisi, Orson Pratt, Robert Barclay, Jean Anouilh, William Steig, William Morris, Carl Nielsen, Sir Arnold Bax, Ben Orr, Bruce Paltrow, Zachary Scott, Dub Taylor, Roddy McDowall, Ronnie Barker, Florence Stanley, Janet Leigh, John Heisman, Vince DiMaggio, John Cerutti, Miles Standish (speak for yourself!), Master Sgt. Gary Gordon,

Nehemiah C. "Skip" James

and Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie.

That car don't start no more.
Happy birthday, anyway.
