Tarot Kibbitzing

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 23:36:26 -0400

If some day you find yourself present while your partner is attempting a serious tarot reading for a credulous 12 year old boy, here are some gems guaranteed to make you appear wise yet detached:

The Fool’s weak, sure, but he’ll evolve into Complete Moron.
The Two of Cups, also known as the Zero of Girlfriends! Sorry, Dude.
Seriously, if you get lower than 12 charisma, you’re allowed to reroll the character.
Also, never buy oysters on Sunday, if you know what I mean.

Feel free to add your own wisdom to this list.

“For Celtics fans, the only way Game 6 could have been more satisfying was if Kobe flipped out in the fourth quarter and punched Sasha Vujacic during a timeout, then got dragged to the locker room by five teammates screaming, “This isn’t over! This isn’t over!” while Sasha sobbed into a towel.”

For your listening pleasure, I offer my favorite song from Wire frontman Colin Newman’s first solo album (A-Z, 1980). I was really unhappy that it was used in Silence of the Lambs as the serial killer’s theme song. Pfft.
