Trying to make everyone happy all at once is a balancing act — and an impossible one at that. However, if you can balance Bob Saget’s soul on your nose, then everyone will be happy.
Sagittarius(November 22 – December 21)
Loved ones are demanding more of you than usual — or is it that you’ve been withholding more of yourself than you normally do? Come on, do your cross dressing act again this Thanksgiving.Oh, that’s not an act? My bad.
Taurus(April 20 – May 20)
Some stabilizing celestial influences arrive, along with a heightened sense of diplomacy. When you sense that a plan’s just not working, not only are you able to pinpoint why, but you can communicate it to the right person: Dennis Haskins, a.k.a., TV’s Richard Belding from Saved by the Bell.
Virgo(August 23 – September 22)
Strengthening bonds requires that you first check to see where they’re fraying. This may not be the easiest task, and it’ll require a lot of tact and some maneuvering on your part. Finally, a chance for you to put your limbo skills to work.
Stooks Proverb: He who eats alone, chokes alone.That’s why Mangino has an entourage 24/7.
Tonight’s the season finale of Dancing with the Stars, so I better watch.
Some observations: George Lopez is in the crowd. Maybe he’s looking for some Mario Lopez jokes to sprinkle in with his blatantly ethnic act. Marcus Allen is in the crowd, too. I guess he’s supporting Emmitt Smith.
Don’t go there, girl! Oprah didn’t get an invite to the wedding. Oprah says she doesn’t feel dissed, and she even plans on buying them a present: a “remove shoes before jumping on couch” sign.
We haven’t had the “Days” segment on the air for more than a year. For some reason, in the last couple months I’ve been bombarded with requests to bring it back.
Ugh.
Here’s the deal: I’ll watch an episode and get as many classic clips out of it that I can. Then, I’ll share them one at a time for each show. If I go back to watching this show every day, that’s it for me.
Enjoy.
Okay, apparently some new actor is playing Shawn, and he’s with some new girl I don’t recognize. Her name is “Willow.” She’s not as cool as the sorcerer.
Last week, I went to the gas station. As I was about to pay, an old woman came in and made a scene about the credit card machine not reading her card at the pump. She was being unreasonable thinking she might get charged twice. Unreasonable like a fox. I think certain old people take advantage of being old by trying to cheat their way to free gasoline and other various items.
We asked our listeners, what kind of old person will you be?
Focusing on your shortcomings takes the fun out of living and makes you notice others’ shortcomings, too. The power of positive thinking is no joke — the more you do it, the more powerful you’ll feel, even though you have a giant growth under your left eye.Stop picking at it.
Cancer(June 22 – July 22)
Distractions may be taking up all of your loved ones’ time at this moment, and you’re at a loss about how to help. Maybe you should plan a distraction of your own to distract them from their distractions.Louie Anderson in drag usually does the trick.
Scorpio(October 23 – November 21)
Stamina and a discerning eye: Those two qualities enable you to fix just about anything that needs adjusting right now. Buying just the right air freshener to cover up the dead rodent smell in your house is a tough dilemma.
Aries(March 21 – April 19)
Some items have been hanging around on your to-do list for too long. Tie up the loose ends, but make sure you go all the way. Granny knots won’t suffice — you need to seal these with a double knot, a bow and whatever adhesive is keeping Bob Barker together.
Stooks Proverb: Dig the well before you are thirsty.And if you’re thirsty and vengeful at the same time, you can throw your victim down the well after enjoying a nice, fresh glass of water.
Nicole Richie and a random friend ordered McDonald’s drive-thru! “The girls ordered two Big Macs, large fries, an order of Chicken McNuggets and a vanilla shake,” a source tells Star. I don’t think anyone’s ever question Nicole’s ability to eat. It’s more the ability to digest that has us concerned.
Your leadership skills continue to shine early in the day, so handle the big picture. Later on, you discover that tying up loose ends and finishing the details hits the spot. Then, you can show off to everyone how good you are at tying shoes.
Gemini(May 21 – June 21)
Who can resist you when you’ve got that certain sparkle in your eye? It’s usually a different group of people than the ones who can’t resist you when your eyes are bloodshot.
Libra(September 23 – October 22)
Step out and strut your stuff. The stars say you can’t go wrong. However, the guy with the quart of Pennzoil in his hair is jealous of your moves. Take heed.
Pisces(February 19 – March 20)
Sweeping the dirty bits under the rug will bite you in the behind when you least expect it. On second thought, you probably should anticipate disaster from your nude magic carpet ride.
Stooks Proverb: Life is just a bowl of cherries.Some fat guy eats them all before you even get one.
Prospects that you thought had evaporated reappear in your life when you least expect them to. Those sneaky ghosts.
Sagittarius(November 22 – December 21)
It’s time to free yourself of stale situations that are more trouble than they’re worth. Well, at least you now know the problems with making a bicycle out of Sourdough bread.
Taurus(April 20 – May 20)
When you want, you can be the most charismatic person in the room — and you do it with such low-key but brilliant style that most people don’t even know what hit them. You get tons of flattering attention today.Much better than the time you had pancake in your teeth.
Virgo(August 23 – September 22)
You’re not just going to take what someone tells you at face value, are you? You need to wait until you can see the evidence with your own eyes — and even then, you might come to a completely different conclusion about Bea Arthur’s alleged hearing problem.
Stooks Proverb: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.A bird in the blender is worth drinking if you are dying of starvation and don’t have anything else to sustain you.
Maybe you shouldn’t feel bad about K-Fed getting divorced through text message. Turns out, he’s been talking divorce with his own lawyer for the last month. There are even rumors he’ll exploit his children to get more cash out of Britney. A “give me some more money, and I won’t fight you for the kids” type of thing. If only she could hold his bong hostage in some similar fashion.
Denise Richards was getting annoyed by the paparazzi in Vancouver, so she somehow got a hold of their laptops and threw them off a hotel balcony. One of them hit an 80-year-old lady in the arm. Only minor injuries. Although you know that old woman’s going to never stop complaining about that bruise.
Obviously, this speech came at an odd time, what with his being fired Wednesday. Rummy’s doing a good job in this appearance so far. He’s usually pretty entertaining to watch, and you do feel a little bad for him.
Okay, now something weird has happened. Right toward the end of his speech, the video goes to some reporter outside Bramlage. She’s standing there, obviously not knowing she’s live.
Now, the camera is just staring at her for another silent minute.
Now she’s talking to some K-State student who “saw the speech.” Wait a minute, I’m watching the speech live, and I get cut off by a close-up of this reporter who’s talking to some student who “saw the speech.” The speech is still obviously going on, and this student’s remarks couldn’t be any more generic. Scandal on “Kansas NOW 22!”
This current energy makes you results-oriented and gives you fantastic taste. It’s times like these that make you question the limited availability of the McRib.
Cancer(June 22 – July 22)
A good cleaning from top to bottom and putting up some new shelves could help you feel safe and secure, which is exactly what you need right now. Keep the home fires burning by taking the time to update your nest.That hairdo of yours is so 2003.
Scorpio(October 23 – November 21)
Have you been spending too much time on something that is essentially a lost cause? Think about this matter very seriously. Is it making your life easier or harder? Could you put your energy to better use?It’s time to let Neil Patrick Harris go.
Aries(March 21 – April 19)
Let the nurturing side of your nature come out in an unusual — and tougher — way. Sometimes cookies and milk keeps the person who needs a pick-me-up in an infantile state. Especially when you put the date rape drug in there.
Stooks Proverb: You can’t run with the hare and hunt with the hounds, unless you’re a rabbit that wears some kind of clever hound costume.
A photographer rear-ended Lindsay Lohan at 2:00 in the morning the other day. That’s Lindsay’s third wreck caused by the paparazzi. I’m guessing this was after she taped her appearance for Oprah. Wouldn’t that be great if Lohan had Oprah stashed somewhere in the car? And Steadman was cheating on Oprah with Gayle King? And Maya Angelou paid someone to install hidden cameras in all of their bedrooms? That’s the stuff.
Having a mother is simultaneously a deeply personal and widely universal experience. Honor those nurturing energies in your life by either talking with your mother or honoring the mother you’ve created from the body parts of dead streetwalkers you found in Vegas.
Gemini(May 21 – June 21)
The message and the messenger are right on target, but the timing is wrong. Although you know you have information that will turn this situation around, you need to wait. No one’s in the boardroom at 1:00 Thanksgiving morning to hear your solution to the rapid urinal cake vaporization taking place in the men’s restroom.
Libra(September 23 – October 22)
Be prepared to shift gears as the situation changes. If you do, you’ll be able to put the smorgasbord of today’s astrological influences to their best use. Start out fast and furious and downshift to sweet and slow by the afternoon. Then, downshift to “pudding rolling down the hill” mode.
Pisces(February 19 – March 20)
Your life has been so hectic lately that an uneventful day seems like a gift straight from the stars. Unfortunately a gift from Big Bird flying overhead won’t seem like such a gift.
Stooks Proverb: There’s no such thing as bad publicity, unless that publicity is about your tragic death after falling face first into a blender set on “puree.”
Shocker! Britney Spears has filed for divorce. He was on the WWE again last night. I wonder if the fact he makes more money wrestling than he ever will as a singer had anything to do with that decision. I wonder if someone told her that her kids would get half their DNA from Federline? Too many unanswered questions.
And he’s even resorted to rapping out hints with the online game show Gold Rush. Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer were answers to his clues. I’m not even joking. You can watch the entire segment here. Or you can just listen to the good parts below.
Lindsay Lohan told Oprah “I’m not a party girl.” I don’t know who she thinks she’s fooling after that mess she made at the beginning of the show. I think the funk music got to her.
In a blatant ripoff of our Free For all Friday feature, we did “You Decide” Tuesday, so our listeners could decide if they cared to talk about politics or something completely irrelevant.
The stars give you the ability to think, talk and act at the speed of light. But you still won’t be able to get to the bathroom in time after a 4 a.m. stop at Denny’s.
Sagittarius(November 22 – December 21)
Go ahead and give in to a whim. Friends may be envious of what you accomplish, so make sure to keep your talk about this modest. Your eye for clearance pricing on garter belts draws the ire of many.
Taurus(April 20 – May 20)
A million different topics interest you right now, and with good reason. The stars are taking your usual laser-like focus and directing it toward various eclectic areas. What happens in the handicap stall stays in the handicap stall.
Virgo(August 23 – September 22)
You have a little extra spring in your step. In fact, the sparkle in your eye is well past the legal limit. You could charm your way into or out of just about anything right now. But charm doesn’t work on the Twix bar, clinging for its life on the spring in the vending machine.
Stooks Proverb: Beggars can’t be choosers, but you still shouldn’t try to trick them into thinking some dirt clumps wrapped in foil are brownies.
Photoshop Adam gave me one of his valuable dating tips: using iqtest.com to trick girls into thinking you’re smarter than you are. You take the test a couple times to get the answers down, then somehow talk the girl into taking the test with you. When you score 200, she apparently drops trow.
Be careful whom you hang out with — you’re in an impressionable state of mind. Before you know it, beliefs, sayings and habits that aren’t really yours could become ingrained in your personality.Why don’t they list that side effect on the Robitussin bottle?
Cancer(June 22 – July 22)
You bring a little extra flair to everyday tasks. Why do people ask for your advice on just about everything? Your complete lack of connection with the way society operates provides plenty of laughs for everyone.
Scorpio(October 23 – November 21)
Start the day in a low gear, and make sure to take your time with the important tasks. As the hours progress, you find your energy kicking higher and higher. By afternoon, you’re ready to take on the world. By night, you’re ready for a violent, downward spiral, complete with compulsive watching of Saved by the Bell, season three.
Aries(March 21 – April 19)
In the morning, finish any difficult tasks so in the afternoon you can go out and socialize. Just be prepared for that hangover that’ll hit about the time you’re watching Heroes tonight.
Stooks Proverb: Eat to live, but don’t live to eat.Have you learned nothing from Mangino?
Last I checked, Larry Birkhead’s website was down, but TMZ.com got a peak before it went down. He was writing to his baby again. He talked about a trip to Disneyland that he thought would cheer him up, but backfired when he felt lonesome seeing the other kids. He also dropped this gem: “I am ready to fight anyone and everyone that gets in my way. One day, you will thank me for fighting for you when others expected me to just walk away.” After reading this, the baby totally ragged on Birkhead on her MySpace.
After seeing Kevin Federline perform to a meager crowd of 300 in New York, one concertgoer said “If I had a bucket, I would vomit in it right now.” He had to beg to keep the concert from being canceled and then took the stage three hours late waiting for more fans to show up.
A dearly held wish of yours is about to become reality. When it happens, you’ll have to make some big changes in your life. Some advice about how to deal with it is coming your way, albeit in a strange disguise. Damn you Halloween Costume clearance pricing!
Gemini(May 21 – June 21)

Pisces(February 19 – March 20)

Stooks Proverb: Don’t cut down the tree that gives you shade, unless it made a pass at your mom.
It looks like Paris Hilton wants to ruin another quality woman: Elisha Cuthbert from Girl Next Door and 24. Elisha totally dissed her boyfriend at some club and took off with Paris!
Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray are feuding. Martha had a live show with Barry Manilow. At the same time in New York, Rachael Ray had a previously taped show with Barry, so Barry was on at the same time! Catfight over Manilow. I had no idea he still had it in him.
“I’m having a hard enough time not strangling this pest, and you expect me to smile?”
