Breaking the Mold

Okay faithful readers...today (November 24th) is Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day!

So this is your chance to tell the world (or at least the other half dozen people who actually read this blog) what unique and special talent you posses.

Don't be shy. Can you lick your nose? Can you burp the national anthem? Do you know the names of all of "Hogan's Heroes"? Can you draw a life like picture of Ernest Borgnine with ketchup and tissue paper? I don't care what it is, just as long as it's unique and as long as it's clean then go ahead and post it! I'll celebrate it with you by playing Amazing Grace on the harmonica with my nose.

...and speaking of Jeanna, today (November 18th) is Married to a Scorpio Support Day!
According to astrology-online.com, a Scorpio:

LIKES
Truth
Hidden Causes
Being involved
Work That is Meaningful
Being Persuasive

DISLIKES
Being Given Only Surface data
Taken Advantage of
Demeaning Jobs
Shallow Relationships
Flattery and Flattering

Also, some possible health concerns for a Scorpio:
Scorpio governs the pelvis and reproductive and urinary systems and its subjects are said to be prone to ailments of the liver and kidneys, stones and gravel in the bladder or genitals, and other genital ills such as priapism. Abscesses, boils, carbuncles, fistulas, piles, ruptures and ulcers may also affect the Scorpions.

Sounds like fun! Those wacky scorpions.
