My Horoscope
I don't really believe in horoscopes at all yada yada, you know the schpiel. Anyway, here's my Tarot.com reading for today:
Your artistic nature is being amplified now as beautiful Venus continues to activate your key planet Uranus. Though the effects of this weird aspect can make it harder to be creative because your ideas just don't fit in. Don't bother intellectualizing what's happening. Just jump in and experience it.I wrote about a half dozen different Uranus gags to go along with this, but they're all too obvious. Please write your own and enjoy!
IMPORTANT UPDATE!
The found comedy continues. Here's my Sept.9 entry from Tarot.com:
Your key planet, Uranus, is on overload today, charging the air with metaphysical lightning.I actually had hot peppers and beer last night! It's too freaky how accurate these things can be.

what is it about uranus jokes that are so appealing? harkens back to childhood, i suppose, and the feeling of getting away with something naughty.

Like on the Simpsons, that time Bart notes all the swear words he heard in Sunday school and starts saying "hell, damn, jesus, hell, damn, jesus" over and over until Marge finally scolds "Bart, stop swearing. You're not in church anymore!"

BTW, did anyone else see that recent science story about the rings of Uranus? It turns out, contrary to what was previously thought, the rings around Uranus are not fixed but can expand and contract over time. Fascinating stuff!

I love the fact that just as Voyager (or whatever) was about to get there, the news programmes all changed their pronunciation to 'Ur-annos' - there was a good comedy sketch where they had the newsreader going on about 'probing Ur-annos'. Me, I think you can stick your horoscope up your...

Hee, hee, yes I remember that bit on Voyager.
Another classic was on the late, great Animaniacs cartoons in the 90s. They did a musical number where they sang the praises of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto.
So Wakko says "You forgot Uranus".
Yakko, fearing censor intervention, says "Good night everybody!" -

This thread somehow reminded me of a footballer from Spain in the 1980s who had the surname of Ufarte.
Tee Hee.

Ufarte? Ha, that hilarious. Juvenile but hilarious.
Kuntz? Funny you mention that. I did a whole thing on Kuntz back in my fake-news days. -
