Cranky Large Medium reading, 30 December

Go away.

What are you doing around here? Don't you hear the ocean calling you? Annnnnd yet there you stand. Sigh. I suppose you won't leave until you get what you came for. Ah, well, for you reading, here you are:

When you look in the dictionary under the word "nerd" there is a picture of you (in costume -- TOS or TNG?). Oddly, you still enjoy getting lost in the wilderness, and could be featured in a video dancing in places all across the globe. If you had a home, it would be very important to you, and you are a pitiable lovesick puppy when it comes to romance.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. You're just goofy. But then, you do seem more content, knowing that you have it better than these people, all of whom, on this date in history, rode the big wave out of here: Richard Plantagenet, Pope Innocent IX, Trygve Lie, Vincent Massey, Galeazzo Alessi, Jan Baptist van Helmont, Robert Boyle, Alfred North Whitehead, Saint Job of Maniava, Saint John Francis Regis, Shinichi Hoshi, Julius J. Epstein, John Gregory Dunne, Rona Jaffe, Mack David, Ralph Flanagan, Johnny Moore, Artie Shaw, Irving "Swifty" Lazar, Lew Ayres, Jack Nance, George Webb, Melba Rae, Doris Grau, Louise Byrdie Dantzler aka Mary Brian, Sonny Liston, Michel Plasse, Francis Lewis, Massa, Ling-Ling, Era Bell Thompson, Lenore Lemmon, Maureen Starkey, Saddam Hussein,

and Richard Rogers.

That old weepin' willow is laughin' at you.
Happy birthday, anyway.
