The ziggy zags of goldenstash
Capricorn:If your neighbors leave their lint in the drier tray all the time, leave a note in the laundry room that reads "throw out your lint, God is watching." If they don't appear to fear God, write, "Danzig is watching." Lucky Show: GNäRDS @ O'Briens

Aries:You will take acid with someone you don't like, or someone whom you assume does not like you; you will first wonder, why did I dose with this person? And, what's so wrong with them, anyway? Then inevitably, when will we take a milk bath together? Lucky Show: Ian Svenonius @ Deep Thoughts
Pisces:How dare you allow your significant other to order a dish called 'broccoli lovers' only to become frustrated by their unrelenting flatulence??? Lucky Show: Haag @ First Parish Church
@ otherwise.anchored
Leo: Congratulations on your band, Amon Düül III, and the success of your new record, Slaughter House 6. Lucky Show: Jazz Massagers @ Deep Thoughts Virgo:Every girl with an aggressively minuscule nose job has a friend who kept to her naturally-sized nostril roots; nose job girl will regard this person as the ugly friend, and the ugly friend will think, "Bitch, at least I can breathe!" Lucky Show: Lane Shi @ Lilypad
Taurus:If someone claims to be a master in the art of orgasmic meditation, feel free to smirk at their zen humble brag: they literally spent money on a retreat to learn how to jerk off hands-free. Scorpio:Watch out! If you take too much MDMA at a house Lucky Show: Dent May @ ONCE show and light your own pants on fire and run around Gemini:Why did you start saying Hump Day screaming and thirty minutes later the police show up, again? "Wednesday" was working perfectly you may be liable to tell the cops you love them. fine, and now you're triggering all Lucky Show: Bedbug @ Blockbuster Video the perma-horny nerds at your place of employment. Sagittarius: Well maybe your face only Lucky Show: Naomi Punk @ Lilypad hurts you but it's killing other people.
Libra:If you don't believe in a restorative ability of the prison system, you should answer the call of jury duty and encourage your fellow citizens to do the same: it's like being allowed to go to the zoo and open all the cages! Lucky Show: Caddywhompus @ Deep Thoughts
Lucky Show: Gold Dime @ Midway
Aquarius: You've gotten really good at breaking mouse necks in a science research setting, and since it's a sought-after skillset, you wonder if you'll be snapping small bones forever. Do not dismay, you shall also be instructed to kill the previouslytortured mice in a poison gas chamber. Lucky Show: Sidney Gish @ ZuZu
Cancer:The solar eclipse robbed you of sleep, dislodged crystals in your ear to cause you an intense vertigo, and then your diva cup runneth over. Rather than mail your solar eclipse glasses to Buenos Aires for the 2019 totality, send 'em something they can actually use, like a ticket the Hell out of there. Lucky Show: Tredici Bacci @ Middle East
