IFLA: The “Next Generation” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of October 24

Lily instructs an up-and-comer in the lucha perro leagues

 

Sometimes it’s very difficult to get into the proper mindset to cast a horoscope when there’s so many adorable distractions around, but we’ll give it a go.

This week is dictated by the progression of the moon, as the other planets are being antisocial.  Monday is a good day to try something new in your love life (or to try and start one) with the Earth passing between the Moon and Venus then.  Later on Thursday, something similar happens but with Jupiter, so focus on leadership/management issues then.  It’s also a particularly good day for standup comics, though I have no idea if comedy clubs are even open on Thursday nights, and I’m far too lazy to see the specific hours involved to make late Wednesday night/Thursday morning count.

 

Lily demonstrates while the pup takes notes

 

Scorpio gets off to a kind of rough start, compared to the possibilities.  It’s not bad, it’s just that the good stuff is either left behind in Libra or has moseyed on ahead into Sagittarius.  Now, since the sun has moved out of Libra, the Mars/Mercury duo take on a different meaning.  It’s a good sign for merchants, arbitrage, traders and the like.  Bad news for lawyers.

 

A Conclave for all you Dragonlance fans

 

How do you draw so many cards reversed?

Scorpio:  Wheel of Fortune reversed –  Increase, abundance, superfluity.

Sagittarius:  The Sun reversed – Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment

Capricorn:  The Blank Card – No advice.  Try again later.

Aquarius:  4 of Wands reversed – prosperity, increase, felicity, beauty, embellishment.

Pisces:  Ace of Swords reversed – Great force used against you, or your use of force results in disaster

Aries:  3 of Coins reversed – Mediocrity, puerility, pettiness, weakness.

Taurus: 9 of Coins reversed – Roguery, deception, voided project, bad faith.

Gemini:  4 of Swords – Vigilance, retreat, solitude, hermit’s repose, exile, tomb

Cancer:  7 of Swords – Design, attempt, wish, hope, confidence; also quarrelling, a plan that may fail, annoyance.

Leo:  5 of Swords reversed – Degradation, destruction, revocation, infamy, dishono\r, loss

Virgo:  5 of Coins reversed – Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.

Libra:  7 of Wands reversed – Perplexity, embarrassments, anxiety.  Uncooperative bouncer.  It is also a caution against indecision.

    puerility, pettiness

    Meh, I’m puerile ~90% of the time. Sometimes petty, especially when it comes to politicians and douchebags. But I repeat myself.

    weakness

    Less good.

    Mediocrity

    Downright terrifying!

  2. l0b0t

      • DEG

        Thanks!

        Playing the start-up lotto again.

      • DEG

        You might find this of interest: One of these, fitted with a Parker-Hale 5c sight, followed me home from Florida.

      • DEG

        Nice!

        Time to get some work done outside before the Sun goes down.

  4. Scruffy Nerfherder

    “Capricorn: The Blank Card – No advice. Try again later.”

    Seems appropriate for current legal situation. I suppose it could have been worse.

  5. Yusef drives a Kia

    Virgo: 5 of Coins reversed – Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.
    That makes much more sense than last week,

  6. The Late P Brooks

    Sagittarius: The Sun reversed – Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment

    Marriage?

    *makes warding-off sign*

    The rest, I’ll take.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      Did your last wife insist that you thread comments?

      • Chafed

        That does explain things.

      • Ted S.

        And people think *I’m* acerbic.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        It’s been a long month.

      • MikeS

        And people think point out that *I’m* acerbic.

        FIFY

  7. Mojeaux

    Taurus: 9 of Coins reversed – Roguery, deception, voided project, bad faith.

    Does this mean my husband will forget to get me orange chicken while he’s out?

    • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

      Thanks for assisting with my meal choice today!! Yuuummm

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        I ended up with Thai instead because not a single one of the many Chinese places around here has the option to order extra white rice on Uber Eats.

      • Mojeaux

        Happy to help!

    • DEG

      mmmm… orange chicken.

  8. limey

    Uncooperative bouncer.

    *scratches head*

  9. Zwak, sensual panzer

    Aquarius: 4 of Wands reversed – prosperity, increase, felicity, beauty, embellishment.

    “I feel pretty, oh, so pretty!”

  10. Tundra

    I really look forward to Lily! What a great pup!

    She makes up for the shitty Leo horrorscope.

  11. Don escaped Cancun

    Gemini: 4 of Swords – Vigilance, retreat, solitude, hermit’s repose, exile, tomb

    and another thing about that Meghan McCain………… – DJT45

    • Ted S.

      It’s a throwback to the uniforms the Packers wore in the 1950s.

      I liked those 1929 blue uniforms, although I wish that the TV rules didn’t require the numbers in the circle on the front to be so big.

      • CPRM

        Those uniforms were in black and white!

        Also, the only ones that looked any good were the 75th ones.

      • Ted S.

        Ah yes, the Halloween 1994 game when they completely fucked up the Chicago Team’s celebration.

  12. Ted S.

    Lily with one of her good friends, Ginger.

    I prefer Mary Ann.

    • MikeS

      Ted get’s it.

      • DEG

        Threesome is the correct answer.

    • Penguin

      Ted is totally correct, although DEG raises a good point.

      Same with WKRP – Jan Smithers vs. Loni Anderson.

      • DEG

        Threesome.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Only with Lots 13, 15, & 16. Still doesn’t have enough trees but looking better.

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        Not many trees in eastern WY, but way cheaper than western WY

      • rhywun

        I don’t see a house.

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        Nope – just 40 acres of happiness

      • Gender Traitor

        Mule sold separately?

    • Ownbestenemy

      Yummy! Wife is also warming to WY. Basically anywhere but a city. Land, a crick, some woods for grands to get lost in and peace of mind

    • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

      Looks cold, windy, ronery and the ceiling is too low. Other than that, it looks nice.

      • MikeS

        You’re right. I don’t’ see any downsides, either.

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        This guy gets it

    • Tulip

      No water.

    • Zwak, sensual panzer

      God I hope the ceiling is insulated. WY gets a bit cold in the winter for bare metal.

      • MikeS

        Those galvanized panels are just decorative. You can see it in the, I assume, unfinished bedroom ceiling.

  13. MikeS

    Pisces: Ace of Swords reversed – Great force used against you, or your use of force results in disaster

    Hmmm…Let’s do the later.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      I don’t believe it. Those are just a myth.

    • Ownbestenemy

      All of them deserve a beer

    • J. Frank Parnell

      despite not having any formal training in school counseling or criminal justice degrees

      OMG this sort of anarchy can not be permitted. At the very least they need to undergo at least 200 hours of training and obtain proper licensing from the government.

  14. Raven Nation

    Hmm, I’m guessing Solkjaer will be looking for employment tomorrow.

    • Ted S.

      Sounds like Sloopy is going to be insufferable tomorrow too.

      • rhywun

        I’ll get it started early:

        HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

      • Ted S.

        If you wanted a good match, you should have gotten up early to watch the women’s final in Moscow.

    • Sensei

      Pay no attention to this. There must be a Republican or at the very least somebody unvaccinated that is to blame.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Cool!

  15. Gustave Lytton

    And I thought the US media was fawning. She, and the rest of the Gauleiters, should fear they are in danger of neck stretching. That their own evil actions brought upon themselves.

      • Zwak, sensual panzer

        You would think that a health official who needs a security detail would clue someone it…

      • Ted S.

        I wonder how much of that story is propaganda.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Given the anti-vaccination crowds downtown in the days prior to the race — which longtime Royal ­Victoria ­organizer Rob Reid described as more of a mob than demonstrators

        All of it?

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        Times Colonist? Such a problematic name for a newspaper.

    • rhywun

      Hear, hear.

      The feel-good story of the day.

    • MikeS

      So they were vaccinated, outside, and ran a marathon with masks on. These people are insane.

    • Sean

      Strips were on sale this week.

      Double strip day – lunch and dinner.

      • Sensei

        https://youtu.be/GAnRAHYP6wU

        Thought of you when this showed up in my playlist this AM. Way too much screaming, but the last three minutes or so are worth it just to see the other voice actress in tears from laughing so hard.

        The are both cute as can be.

      • Sean

        I don’t follow.

      • Sensei

        Sorry. A few months back posted a video featuring the same actress and you made note how cute she was.

      • Sean

        Ah. ?

      • Gustave Lytton

        Cute doesn’t make up for the humidity. They’re making a good go of hiding it, but I feel the immersion sauna dripping off the screen and beginning of inescapable heat sickness.

      • Sensei

        From memory I think they said 34C. Yup…

    • Zwak, sensual panzer

      Tritip is the one, true BBQ.

    • Ownbestenemy

      I’ve changed my mind…I’m going to treat as a brisket and take up to 200. Doable if you wrap to retain some of the low moisture

  16. TARDis

    Whole Foods and Sprouts did not have any turkeys this weekend. Son found some reasonable sized ones at Kroger today. Effed up supply chain. Let’s Go Brandon!

    • Gender Traitor

      One and only roll of turkey bulk sausage at Meijer – meant for our brunch today – turned out to be bad. ?

      • Gender Traitor

        (We didn’t eat it – TT smelled it as soon as he cut the package open.)

      • Ted S.

        You guys obviously need to learn to lower your expectations.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        Sorry that your treadmills were late, GT and TARDis. Clearly you are spoiled and decadent.

        /Brandon Administration

      • TARDis

        One would think they would want us to have our green energy treadmills delivered on time. This way we could be disconnected from the power grid and power our own homes with our decadent corpulent bodies.

      • TARDis

        My wife has already endured 30 years with me. How much lower must her expectations go?

      • TARDis

        That’s a bummer. Glad you won’t be getting Salmonella or something though.

      • Ted S.

        That’s not salmonella, it’s covid.

  17. l0b0t

    There is now a big branded truck in Manhattan vending edibles and weed by the gram. G/d bless America.

  18. Fourscore

    We’re ‘allowed’ 5 deer this year per license but each deer after 1 requires an additional $2.50 tag. I bought a license and 1 bonus tag so I can take two. I’m not sure I want 2 or even if I can get one but I’ll sit out like a squirrel in a tree waiting, waiting. Bucket list fulfillment anticipation.

    • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

      Good hunting 20×4!

    GlibChallenge: How far can you make it in this article before throwing up? It builds and builds, so be forewarned.

    Last May, Braun posted a callout on Instagram, urging fans to help him write music for a song about love in the time of lockdown. He later released the track, entitled “Antibodies,” as well as an accompanying music video, which has been viewed more than 777,300 times on YouTube.

    “If you come within six feet/ It’s mask on, mask on, mask on, mask on,” he croons. “But if you got antibodies/ It’s pants off, pants off, pants off, pants off.”

    I made it almost to the end. There’s just so much going on that is the worst of everything. It’s really quite remarkable.

    • Ted S.

      I didn’t throw up. I laughed at the idiocy of the excerpt you posted.

  20. Ted S.

    Sign of the times: During the Packer halftime show, there was an ad for a granite countertop company or somesuch advertising their short lead times, which I’m assuming is a reference to the supply chain issues.

  21. Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

    Oh, I see the Vikes are playing the Cowpokes in the primetime game. This won’t end well.

  22. Ownbestenemy

    Tritip rubbed and almost ready to hit the smoke. Also decided some pork chips too since I had thawed them and almost forgot about them. They are sitting in a marinade.

    Since I’m doing hickory, they can share the smoker

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        Yum….but did you get the tiki bar set up?????

      • Ownbestenemy

        Half way! That photo was at least using it for food prep

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        ?

      • Ted S.

        Where’s the gun?

    • Ownbestenemy

      Also a apple jalapeños bbq sauce for the pork. Brussel sprouts, potato salad and a salad. Then people can decide if they want pork or beef.

    • Sean

      Good looking piece of meat.
