Cranky Large Medium reading, 12 December

Go away.

Why are you still here? Didn't your mother teach you that it's impolite to stay where you're not welcome? Oh, but you must have something you want from me... ah right. The reading. Well, if you insist, here you are:

You are a very bad liar, so you mostly stick to the truth. And stick, and stick and stick. You lack flexibility, but do your best to disguise it by jumping into charitable activities, or by bossing people around in their own lives. You are pretty sure you know what you're doing, even when buying floating candles to serve as gauges in your gasoline tank. Your frivolous manner makes you popular with children and dumb animals.

Are you happy, now? Of course you aren't. Nobody is ever happy, these days. But you have it good, compared to all these folks, who, on this date in history, completely ran out of gas: Selim II, John Pell, Viktor Bunyakovsky, Geoffrey, Archbishop of York, Jacques Viger, Robert Browning, Vance Packard, Joseph Heller, Dee Brown, Paul Cadmus, Mildred Bailey, Ike Turner, Douglas Fairbanks, Jack Cassidy, George Montgomery, Brad Dexter, Peter Boyle, Tallulah Bankhead, Anne Baxter, Paul Arizin, Charles Goodnight, Cesar Basa, David Sarnoff, Lady Spencer Churchill, Stuart Roosa, Morris King "Mo" Udall, Keiko,

and Ian Stewart.

Been a long time since you took a stroll...
Happy birthday, anyway.
