IFLA: The “Hungover” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of Jan 2

Mason the Tireless

 

Well, I’m assuming that you’re hungover.  I’m not.  I think I’ve been hungover once in my life, and it involved sherry, so that’s not likely to happen again.  Especially since I have to get up at the same time every morning for the Pup’s sake (which means to avoid a psychotic break, I have to go to bed reasonably early every night).

Like I mentioned in my predictions for the new year, the starts are being remarkably chill at the moment.  The only real warning is that first dates aren’t looking good and you’ll have a really excellent opportunity to screw up an existing relationship sometime Tuesday (+/- 1 day).

The planets are unchanged from last week except for Capricorns. You know that bogus saying that the Chinese word for “crisis” and “opportunity” are the same?  That’s what you’ve got but for real.

 

Three against one seems unfair.  But Lily never complains.

 

Capricorn:  7 of Swords reversed – This card indicates a one of those high-risk/high-reward situations.  Reversed, it means you’re underestimating the risk.

Aquarius:  4 of Cups – Things will attempt to distract you from your goal

Pisces:  Queen of Cups reversed – weakness, cowardice, deceit, superficiality, withholding affection, all that good stuff.

Aries:  6 of Cups – Offers received will be sincere.

Taurus: Knight of Swords – An encounter with police.

Gemini:  Blank – Try again later

Cancer:  The High Priestess – Secrets, mysteries, oral sex.

Leo:  5 of Coins – A have/have-not situation, with you being in the “haves.”

Virgo:  Judgement reversed – A decision is reversed

Libra:  9 of Wands reversed – There are obstacles to success, then there are big honking obstacles.  This card is about the latter.

Scorpio:  Queen of Coins – Opulence, generosity, magnificence, security, liberty.

Sagittarius:  King of Wands – Honesty, friendship, tolerance

  1. Tonio

    Apologies to NA and the many loyal fans of IFLA and Lily. I somehow forgot that today was Sunday which I usually start by editing and scheduling IFLA and GlibFit.

    • Trigger Hippie

      I was about to say that was the quickest jump from one article to the next I’ve ever seen. It’s New Year’s Day, totally forgivable.

    • CPRM

      I somehow forgot that today was Sunday

      But…it’s Saturday.

      • rhywun

        Yeah I’m so confused.

        WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HERE?!

      • Trigger Hippie

        National Hangover Day, fellas.

      • Ted S.

        This is why everyone should use ISO-8601 and UTC.

      • CPRM

        This is what happens when we let you gays call yourself ‘people’ 🙁

      • Tonio

        No, I’m the one who is confused. And hungover.

      • MikeS

        For a few seconds I had an oh-shit-tomorrow-is-Monday panic attack.

      • db

        I actually wondered for a brief time if I entirely slept through Saturday, but I imagine the GF wouldn’t have allowed that.

    • Tonio

      Oh, fuck. Sorry, everyone.

      At least this explains why Chafed hasn’t turned in GlibFit yet.

      • l0b0t

        Remembering the lovely stuffed bra makes it all better. Happy New Year Future Man.

      • Ted S.

        I don’t think I want to see Tonio in a stuffed bra.

      • CPRM

        Why do I always have to work during the best Glib-zooms!?

      • Ownbestenemy

        It was memorable

      • Tonio

        As was your on-cam makeover. That stuff wash out easily?

      • Ownbestenemy

        Yeah it came out pretty easy. If only the hangover could be washed away

      • l0b0t

        Yeah, OBE; you married well.

      • l0b0t

        You also missed the Who Has The Greyest Chest Hair contest.

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        Last night was a classic, for sure

      • Chafed

        This is what happens when you don’t call me first. ?

    • Nephilium

      My internal schedule has been off all week. As long as I remember that I need to start working again in two days, I should be fine.

    • westernsloper

      This whole thread. What the holy fuck.

  2. Trigger Hippie

    ‘Three against one seems unfair. But Lily never complains.’

    I’ve seen that movie.

    ….aaaaand I’m out. See ya!

    • Mojeaux

      Snowing up here in Clay County.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Here in Jackson as well but lightly.

      • Not Adahn

        Raining here. Coupled with being sick means I skipped the park today.

    • Not Adahn

      I’ve seen that movie.

      They’re all spayed females, if that makes it any better.

      Roxie is a cowardly little bitch and only jumps in if Lily’s already wrestling someone.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Now that’s a movie I need to watch!

  3. CPRM

    I really hope my work day last night isn’t a portent of the year to come. A couple days ago my exhaust started sounding loud. Last night when I left for work I could hear it dragging on the road. So I turned around and barrowed my aunt’s car. So I was like 3 minutes late for work….Then the guy I was working with had a panic attack mid-shift. Which made me feel like I might have a panic attack, but my pills were in my car, not my aunt’s car…But I made it out and I’m now DRUN AF! WOOT WOOT!

  4. Mojeaux

    Taurus: Knight of Swords – An encounter with police.

    Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me.

    • Trigger Hippie

      Yeah, my lifestyle isn’t compatible with police encounters.

      Thank God the heavens are full of shit.

  5. Ownbestenemy

    I know I got pretty drunk but didn’t realize I slept for a whole day.

  6. kinnath

    I am so confused. Beer reviews and astrology back to back. Let’s do the time warp again.

    • Trigger Hippie

      The astrology seems more plausible when drinking beer, just roll with it.

  7. EvilSheldon

    Cancer: The High Priestess – Secrets, mysteries, oral sex.

    I’m holding you to this.

    • Ted S.

      It means you’re giving somebody a blowjob.

      • Not Adahn

        One pillar says “B.” The other “J.” It’s not like it’s a difficult sign to read.

      • EvilSheldon

        Considers briefly, then shrugs

        Eh. Whatever works.

  8. l0b0t

    Is our SugarFree vacationing in the Maldives, or is it a different SugarFree on DerpTube?

  9. Animal

    Libra: 9 of Wands reversed – There are obstacles to success, then there are big honking obstacles. This card is about the latter.

    Obstacles are made to be overcome.

  10. rhywun

    City openly admits naked racism, Republican gamely pounces.

    Of course this is just in furtherance of the stupid casedemic theater but imagine if it were something consequential like distributing recycling bins or voter guides.

    • Chafed

      Good Lord. I also read Hochul is requiring booster shots for CUNY and SUNY students. NYC and NYS continue to circle the drain.

  11. Fourscore

    I take a little nap and I’m 2 articles behind. Life in the slow lane, now I’ll never catch up.

  12. slumbrew

    Can I trade Gemini for Cancer?

    • UnCivilServant

      We’ve only got two cancers in stock, you want melanoma or mesothelioma?

      • slumbrew

        Which one comes with the oral sex?

      • Chafed

        HPV?

      • slumbrew

        Michael Douglas hardest hit

  13. Not Adahn

    So predictive, you can read the column BEFORE it comes out!

  14. db

    WTF happened

    • slumbrew

      Tonio. Tonio happened.

      • ron73440

        Tonio. Tonio happened.

        Succinct and accurate. I like it!

  15. mikey

    “.. I somehow forgot that today was Sunday”

    As a retired person, I accepted this statement readily. Every day is either Saturday or Sunday and it really doesn’t matter which is which.

    Happy New Years y’all. Just as IRL I don’t say much, but this place means a lot to me. It’s an important part of every Saturday and/or Sunday.

    • Gender Traitor

      If it leaked, maybe it just had a broken gasket somewhere, right?

    • EvilSheldon

      Interesting. What don’t you like?

      • Sean

        It just doesn’t speak to me.

        My Micro 9 esv checks off this category for me.

      • UnCivilServant

        All the proportions look wrong.

    • R C Dean

      “the pistol wears familiar iron sights with the 3-dot set up older shooters have grown accustomed to”

      Fuck you, youngster.

  16. DEG

    Well, I’m assuming that you’re hungover.

    That was a good assumption. Did the stars tell you?

    I slept the day away. I got breakfast, a shower, got dressed, then went grocery shopping. I am now at home with some Hair of the Dog that Bit Me. Irish breakfast tea, honey, lemon, and a shot of bourbon.

    A have/have-not situation, with you being in the “haves.”

    I see. Yes, the stars did tell you that I have a hangover. And they are sufficiently shitty in their foretelling.

    • Nephilium

      Damn college kids.

  17. The Late P Brooks

    I decided to start the year off with huevos rancheros, in a little Mexican restaurant I had not tried before.

    Will eat again.

    • hayeksplosives

      Imma be lazy and pop frozen meatballs, dry spaghetti noodles, and jarred sauce in the instant pot.

      No muss. No fuss.

      Tonight we will likely overpay for some filet mignon or some such. As long as someone else cleans up the kitchen, we are good.

    • westernsloper

      Nice choice. I think I will do the same but different. No tortillas.

  18. hayeksplosives

    Well, looks like the Oklahoma State cowboys are trying their best to lose to Notre Damez. Damned papists.

    Go cowboys!!

    • robodruid

      They beat OU, what more can you ask for?

  19. The Late P Brooks

    Sagittarius: King of Wands – Honesty, friendship, tolerance

    I’ll believe it when I see it.

  20. R.J.

    Leo is great this week. Yay! And all Christmas decorations have been properly put away. It’s going to be a good week.

    • Penguin

      ‘Leo: 5 of Coins – A have/have-not situation, with you being in the “haves.”’

      Yeah, that sounds alright.

  21. DEG

    I found an upload of the 2022 Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert. The teaser still for the youtube upload showed members of the audience wearing face diapers. I will skip watching this year’s New Year’s Concert.

  22. westernsloper

    Is Tonio going to drop tomorrow’s afternoon links in a bit?

    • juris imprudent

      Spud usually has the late Saturday, but I’m betting he’s in no shape to produce anything right now. Or, if we’re still confused as to what day it is, Glibfit will be dropping.

  23. Grumbletarian

    Scorpio: Queen of Coins – Opulence, generosity, magnificence, security, liberty.{/em>

    I’m going to be adopted by Daddy Warbucks?

  24. Tres Cool

    I feel really left out with these Zooms lately, and feel my legacy of drunkenly destroying appliances is in jeopardy.
    I’m making a note to try and show on either Monday or Wednesday since Im off.

  25. Brochettaward

    I regret that I have but one First to give.

    • rhywun

      LOL I just went shopping without a mask you unelected tyrant.

      I will not comply.

      • rhywun

        Incoming New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he will extend an order implemented by outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio requiring private-sector employees to get vaccinated

        I didn’t vote for you, either.

        I will not comply.

      • Chafed

        It’s always “something needs to be done, this is something, therefore it needs to be done”.

      • Nephilium

        I’ve started to see signs stapled to telephone poles, corkboards, streetlight poles and anywhere else that usually gets all the “We buy houses” and lost pet signs that say:

        Just say No to Masks
        No to Vaccines
        No to Passports

    • rhywun

      Hochul also announced the latest sobering state COVID figures, noting that 7,919 residents were hospitalized with the virus, including about half — 3,925 — in New York City medical facilities as of Thursday, keeping with recent highs.

      Ohhh you mendacious cunte.

  26. Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

    Listening to Dr. Malone on Joe Rogan. It sure is putting me in a mood.

    • ron73440

      You shouldn’t listen to that.

      Rogan is not a doctor and the other guy must be a liar because they kicked him off twitter.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Thanks KK! there goes the next 3 hours….

    • westernsloper

      Funny, I go to JRE youtube and search Dr Malone and I get no Dr Malone.

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        *pauses at 4:15………Do you know how many people they fucking killed with their bullshit aids vaccines? *continues………..Aaaahhhh, holds patents gained while being funded by taxpayer money. Fuck these people. Convince me this man is not a worthless fucking leach.

      • DEG

        You know he is the guy sounding alarms about the Lil Rona vaccines and the government’s response to Lil Rona?

      • westernsloper

        Ya, but I did not know he was knee deep in the aids vaccines hoaxes……..man they fucked some people up then. Ok, glad he came around but I am not sure one can get clean from those trials.

      • westernsloper

        May have spoke too soon.

    • Ownbestenemy

      It is a fantastic listen

    • westernsloper

      And now he is telling us he got fucked up by the vaccine?

      • westernsloper

        JFC I will never take another vaccine,

    • westernsloper

      Except for that one time she drove me home. Ok, a couple times but that’s not the point.

      I can think of a few times after sex where the ex-girlfriends involved and I helped dress each other.

      • db

        Throwing her wadded-up clothes at her and telling her to get out doesn’t count as “helping.”

      • Mojeaux

        I read this to my husband. He said, “That didn’t go where I thought it was gonna go.”

        “Where did you think it was gonna go?”

        “Something along the lines of re-dressing the blow-up doll.”

      • rhywun

        “One of us! One of us!”

      • DEG

        Yes.

        I met Mojeaux’s husband. He’s a good guy and I think he’d fit in here.

      • DEG

        Heh.

        I should have seen that coming.

  27. Sensei

    I never thought of NYC as a libertarian paradise. Who knew,

    City health officials plan to install 10 vending machines across the Big Apple that will dispense clean needles and overdose-reversing Naloxone to drug users — an initiative it claims will help tear down barriers created by “white privilege.”

    https://nypost.com/2022/01/01/nyc-to-install-clean-needles-naloxone-vending-machines/

    I’m assuming the next issue is that the machines require cash, but I’m sure they’ve got a plan for that too.

    • Nephilium

      They’ll only accept Bitcoin or an NFT?

    • Q Continuum

      “tear down barriers created by ‘white privilege'”

      Meaninglessness is meaningless.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Future news story: city compiled list of junkies using captured credit card data and facial recognition of machine users; claims they were merely trying to target follow up services to most vulnerable

      Nice euro pricing in the photos.

        I assume those are in Germany, since the words are in Germany-talk.

        Bürokratie: Herr Doctor Herrmann (is that a redundant name or not?) is on the desk.

        Interviewer: Thank you for your time.

        Bürokratie: It was a pleasure.

    • rhywun

      “I’d be for these vending machines if they promise to put them in Central Park, Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue — right where the wealthiest people stay,” said Hawk Newsome, the incendiary leader of Black Lives Matter in New York City. “Why should our children have to walk past people who are congregating around these machines and nowhere else.”

      LOL for once I agree with that jerk.

    So I missed the apparently epic NY’s eve zoom last night because sometimes us blue collar losers have to go to work when it snows so……………….Are we zooming tonight because I got some shit to say.

    • db

      If I do join, I might be dry tonight. Not sure I can do that again so soon.

  31. The Late P Brooks

    The song remains the same

    New York City’s new mayor, Eric Adams, pledged Saturday to steer the nation’s largest city out of the pandemic by drawing on the resiliency of its people and promising a government that works better, even if it’s not radically different.

    Hours after being sworn into office in Times Square as the city rang in the new year, Adams used his inaugural address to promise more efficiency, invoke New Yorkers’ reputation for toughness, and urge the city’s nearly 9 million residents to make a New Year’s resolution that their lives not be controlled by the pandemic.

    “Getting vaccinated is not letting the crisis control you,” Adams said at City Hall. “Enjoying a Broadway show. Sending your kids to school. Going back to the office. These are declarations of confidence that our city is our own.”

    ——-

    Adams said this week that he plans to keep in place many of the policies of outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio, including vaccine mandates that are among the strictest in the nation.

    Standard issue gibberish.

    Don’t let the virus control you. Letting the government dictate your every act is the path to freedom. He’s the change you’ve been waiting for.

    • rhywun

      Fully expected.

      PS, Eric:

      I will not comply.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Please never give up, it get’s lonely out here,

      • rhywun

        I’ve read enough to understand that I would be crazy to submit. I am fortunate enough to have that choice, for now.

  32. The Late P Brooks

    “I am clear on my mission to aggressively go after those who are carrying violent weapons in our city,” he said.

    Those damned violent weapons! He’ll have to declare war on Indiana.

    • rhywun

      I would like one of them to be honest and just come out and say they don’t want those types to have this particular freedom.

  33. The Late P Brooks

    I would like one of them to be honest and just come out and say they don’t want those types to have this particular freedom.

    Like Honest Mike Bloomberg did.

    • rhywun

      Ha did he? I don’t remember.

      And it only hurt his popularity so much that the City Council rewarded him with a third term against the voters’ wishes.

  34. The Late P Brooks

    Ha did he? I don’t remember.

    He came right out and said it. Black men (under the age of 30 or 35, something like that) should not be allowed to own firearms.

    It was a speech at an Aspen Institute conference, if I recall correctly. Nobody in the crowd objected.

    • Hyperion

      Well, as far as Bloomberg goes, you can’t hate him for it, it’s just a thing that 3′ tall guys are prone to day. They can’t help it. It’s a side effect of the dwarfism.

  35. Yusef drives a Kia

    I’m waiting for a flame sensor for my furnace, until then I have to bypass the safeties to run it, not optimal. I need to keep the pipes warm or Yikes, so I have to monitor my flame, if it goes out, i’m dumping natural gas into the heat cells, a very bad thing, no sleep for me.

    • Hyperion

      Man, that’s one thing I hated about that part of the country. It’s too damn cold. Drove over to WV again this weekend and partied with some folk. Rained all weekend, but was around 60F the entire time.

  36. Hyperion

    Fake news. #CapricornsRpeople2.

  37. Hyperion

    Damn, it’s 2022, I have a hangover and have been trying all day to drink my way out of it. One has to worry that 2022 will be even worse than 2020 and 2021. I don’t know how, but I’m sure our betters will manage to pull it off.
