Cranky Large Medium reading, 10 November

Go away.

Please, leave, why don't you? Are you simply being cruel? What are you waiting for? Oh, right, that reading thing. Well, then, you mad little masochist, here you are:

You can't stand being second fiddle, to anybody, even those who know more than you. You also tend toward exhibitionism, and occasionally put yourself out there for the public. You like travel, reading and music, but don't experience them enough. You should marry someone who can instruct you in your broad interests, so you won't be a jack of all trades and master of none.

Are you happy, now? If not, I'm sorry -- the way a polar bear is sorry it ate the baby seal. If you're so miserable over your reading, you could put things in perspective, by realizing you're better off than all these people who, on this date in history, were permanently put on ice: Pope Celestine IV, Pope Paul III, Hokoleskwa, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Leonid Brezhnev, Ulisse Aldrovandi, Mário Schenberg, Justus, Arthur Rimbaud, Renee Vivien, George Essex Evans, Ken Kesey, Irv "Kup" Kupcinet, Norman Mailer, Carmen McRae, Tommy Tedesco, Jimmie Dodd, Chuck Connors, Jack Palance, Mary Millar, Laraine Day, Pelle Lindbergh, Francis M. "King" Clancy, Richard Chancellor, Henry Wirz, Ernest M. McSorley (and the rest of the crew of the Eddie FitzG),

and David "Stringbean" Akeman.

Now you can go a-fishin'. Please.
Happy birthday, anyway.
