Cranky Large Medium reading, 24 November

Go away.

Will you please begone? Scat! Amscray! Why won't you leave? Oh. Riiiiiight. It's that reading thing you want me to do. Well, then, if that's all it will take to make you leave me alone, here you go:

You are very conceited, have ambition, but lack perseverance and quite often fall short of attaining your goal, you big-headed thing, you. You are idealistic, see yourself as artistic and musical, but please don't sing here, now... I have nearly perfect pitch and a low pain threshhold. Go test the loyalty of your friends and family, instead. They might stick around for your song.

Are you happy, now? No? What a shocker! Pardon me for breaking your heart. At least you have something going for you that these folks don't -- they all went carbon-neutral on this date in history: Emperor Kōtoku, Joseph Brant, William Lamb, Georges Clemenceau, Sethus Calvisius, John Knox, Charles-Jean-François Hénault, John Neihardt, Dodie Smith, Arthur Hailey, Diego Rivera, Manuel Cardoso, Johann Adam Reinken, Big Joe Turner, Eric Carr, Albert Collins, George Raft, Noriyuki "Pat" Morita, Fred Shero, Warren Spahn, James Caldwell, Hiram Stevens Maxim, Doris Miller, Lee Harvey Oswald,

and Farrokh Bulsara aka Freddie Mercury.

Not forever, but at least a little longer, please.
Happy birthday, anyway.
