Cranky Large Medium reading, 24 May

Go away.

Why are you here? Didn't you hear my request? Going is the norm. You are, apparently, set on going against the trends. And why would that be? Ah, of course, you came seeking something, and you won't leave without acquiring it. And that something would be.... The Reading. Naturally. Well, if getting that to you is enough to make you go, then far be it from me to stop that progress. Here you are:

You are a workaholic, showing unadulterated enthusiasm for your job. You are strait-laced and have a forceful personality (translation: bully). Sincere, trustworthy, dull as dishwater, you show as much passion in romance as you do at work -- with equal originality, which is why you are so often alone.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. So get back to work, and your outlook will be improved. After all, you're physically capable of expending energy, aren't you. That's quite the opposite of these people, all of whom, on this date in history, succumbed at last to inertia: Abu al-Hasan 'Ali, Elmer E. Ellsworth, Lancelot Holland, John Foster Dulles, Harold Wilson, Nicolaus Copernicus, Robert Hues, Georg Ernst Stahl, Sylvestre François Lacroix, Willy Ley, William Lloyd Garrison, Joseph Mitchell, Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Samuel Palmer, Elmore James, Gene Clark, Jacques Feyder, Edward Mulhare, Rob Knox, Rachel Kempson, Old Tom Morris, Vincent J. McMahon, Vivian Liberto, Dick Martin,

and Edward K. "Duke" Ellington.
