One tablespoon and you'll be unlocking passages of your mind that you had hoped were sealed in a tremendous avalanche, leaving its inhabitants lifeless but fully preserved. Lucky Show: Xiu Xiu @ Elk's Lodge ARIES: You struggle with the concept that another person could be more appealing than you are, either in word or deed or with significantly more likes on their selfies. People are drawn to those who amuse them, sure, but they are even more interested in a person about whom the very act of appreciation speaks to their own sophistication. So make smarter jokes, and get your mind outta the worm-crawling fecal lumps! Lucky Show: Boy Harsher @ DT JP

If it isn't that easy there probably is no good side. Lucky Show: Jeff Parker (of Tortoise) @ Deep Thoughts JP virgo: Cheating? Fist fights? These are basically premeditated acts that alcohol gives you the gall to go through with. But excessive growths of yeast? Flabby midriffs? Poops the color of honey mustard? Blame it on the al-a-a-al-a-alcohol. Lucky Show: Helltrap Nightmare @ Midway Cafe LIBRA: If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a wonderful Christmas. If you're arguing with someone C about a specific topic, bringing up analogous circums A te how PRI stances with (what you believe to be) one aspect rs C s changed from the situation at hand may serve to bu .
