This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with genealogy, but I could not resist. Forgive me!!! >WHAT'S Y'ALL'S SIGN? It has become pretty obvious to us Southerners that >our present astrological signs have served their purpose and that we >should get rid of them. When I'm out driving around I'll see bulls, and >once in a great while I suppose I'll even see a ram. Up the street from >me there's some twins, but I don't see them much. The rest of these >things are just too obscure. You only see crabs on vacation. There are >no lions or scorpions, not many archers and no water bearers. SO, what >we need here is some relevance. We need things we can recognize up there >in the night sky. > > >************************************************** > YOUR >SOUTHERN HOROSCOPE > >OKRA -- Dec 22 - Jan 20 Although you appear crude, you are actually very >slick on the inside. Okrans have tremendous influence. An older Okra can >look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. >Stay away from Moon Pies. > >CHITLIN -- Jan 21 - Feb 19 Chitlins often come from humble backgrounds. >Many times they're uncomfortable talking about just where they came >from. A chitlin, however, can make something of himself if he's >motivated and has plenty of seasoning. When it comes to dealing with >Chitlins, be very careful. Chitlins can burn and then erupt like >Vesuvius, and this can make for a really terrible mess. Chitlins are >best with Catfish and Okra. Remember that when marriage time rolls >around. > >BOLL WEEVIL -- Feb 20 - Mar 20 You have an overwhelming curiosity. >You're unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the need to >bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very >intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. Nobody in their >right mind is going to marry you, so don't worry about it. > >MOON PIE -- Mar 21 - Apr 20 You're the type that spends a lot of time on >the front porch. It's a cinch to recognize the physical appearance of >Moon Pies. "Big" and "round" are the key words here. You should marry >anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going >to be easy. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Maybe not. > >POSSUM -- Apr 21 - May 21 When confronted with life's difficulties, >possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a "don't - bother >- me - about -it" attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people >actually think you're dead. This strategy is probably not >psychologically healthy, but seems to work for you. One day, however, it >won't work, and you may find your problems actually running you over. > >CRAWFISH -- May 22 - Jun 21 Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an >office, you're always hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer >the beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, the bathtub to >the living room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically, >but you have very good heads. > >COLLARDS -- Jun 22- Jul 23 Collards have a genius for communication. >They love to get in the "melting pot" of life and share their essence >with the essences of those around them. Collards make good social >workers, psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal >life goes, if you are Collards, stay away from Moon Pies. It just won't >work. Save yourself a lot of heartache. > >CATFISH -- Jul 24 - Aug 23 Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the >heart, with one exception: Whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. >You catfish are never easy people to understand. You prefer the muddy >bottoms to the clear surface of life. Above all else, Catfish should >stay away from Moon Pies. > >GRITS -- Aug 24 - Sep 23 Your highest aim is to be with others like >yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. >You love to travel, though, so maybe you should think about joining a >club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese or gravy or >bacon or butter or eggs. If you can go somewhere where they have all >these things, that serves you well. > >BOILED PEANUTS -- Sep 24 - Oct 23 You have a passionate desire to help >your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best - your friends >and loved ones - may find that your personality is much too salty, and >their criticism will probably affect you deeply because you are really >much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody >you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the >road of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop >for you. > >BUTTER BEAN -- Oct 24 - Nov 22 Always invite a Butter Bean because >Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, >should be proud. You've grown on the vine of life and you feel at home >no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you, >too, shouldn't have anything to do with Moon Pies. > >ARMADILLO -- Nov 23 - Dec 21 You have a tendency to develop a tough >exterior, but you are actually quite gentle. A good evening for you? Old >friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms and insects. You are a >throwback. You're not concerned with today's fashions and trends. You're >not concerned with anything about today. You're really almost >prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want >to marry another Armadillo, but Possum is another, somewhat kinky, >mating possibility. > > > >
