the Astrology game

Guess a person's sign based on their personality. no cheating and looking at profiles for birthdates. we'll have to trust you. goddamn honor system.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that Hubris Boy is a Leo

I'd guess that Onyx and Mari are both Cancers

not that i believe in this shit for a second, but it does have entertainment value

Wrong on me. Try again. I bet you, LJ, are a Gemini. I bet Bruce is Libra. I bet Wolf is Capricorn.;)

PS Is astrology philosophy?

IIRC, Jim has a birthday in the not-too-distant future. I'm going to say Cancer or Leo.

I'm thinking Syc is a Virgo. So, most likely is Jimbo, although he should have a Taurus rising or whatever the appropriate terminology is ...

Marichko ... Sagitarius.

Bruce ... Aquarius

HB ... Capricorn

UT ... Libra

Radar ... gotta be another Cap.

LJ - Cancer
UT - Scorpio
Radar - Taurus
Wolf - Saggitarius
HB - Pisces

Wolf, you're getting a little warmer on me. Was I anywhere near right on you? ;)

Cat, I bet you're a Virgo? Yes? No?

I think we have to establish how long we are leaving this open to guesses until people fess up.

how bout until someone gets it right. i'm a virgo

Mari I'm not a Virgo.. funny that you think that actually! (Not that I, ahem, believe in any of this shit, er, oh dear what did my horoscope say? Oh, be assertive, yes, ok, right). I reckon you're a Virgo. Hey we should have a poll attached to this, would be interesting to see the proportion of starsigns, personality types, whatever. Oh what am I talking about I don't believe in it anyway.

I am not a Virgo.

Radar = Aquarius

This = retardicus.

Carbonated Brains = Gemini

I have to disagree... I've never found any entertainment value at all in astrology

So you've never poked fun at Miss Cleo?? I used to rail on that woman whenever she would advertise with that fake rasta accent and all. And I laughed twice as hard when she got busted.

Those of you that don't watch the American Spanish television stations are missing out on the world's most entertaining astrologer. His name is Walter Mercado. He dresses in all sorts of elaborate robes/dresses, and has a very 'middle aged woman' look. Despite (or because of) this, he has managed to stay on television for years now, and he has a big following.


(yes, that's a man)

That's entertainment!

Acutally I've kinda just ignored Miss Cleo... but I thought she was a psychic, not an astrologer. Ah well! :)

Me 'neither. Although Cat is getting EXTREMELY warm with that guess. OK, I'm gonna say that you, Syc, are a Sagittarius and that Cat roars like a Leo.

The following is for Steve D. (I guess Aquarius) and I always take astology very seriously:

"I Feel Lucky"

Well, I woke up this morning,
stumbled out of my rack.
I opened up the paper
to the page at the back.
It only took a minute
for my finger to find
my daily dose of destiny
right under my sign.
My eyes just about popped
out of my head.
It said, "The stars stacked are against you, girl,
better get back in bed!"

But I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah!
No professor doom
gonna stand in my way.
Hmm,mmn! I feel lucky today!

Well I strolled down to the corner,
gave my numbers to the clerk.
The pot's eleven million,
so I called in sick to work.
I bought a pack of camel's,
a burrito, and a Barq's;
crossed against the light;
made a beeline for the park.
The sky began to thunder,
wind began to moan.
I heard a voice above me saying
"Girl, you'd better get back home!"

But I feel lucky, I feel lucky!
No tropical depression's
gonna steal my sun away.
Hmm -mmmn, I feel lucky today!

Now eleven million later
I'm sitting at the bar.
I bought the house a double
and the waitress a new car!
Dwight Yokam's in the corner,
trying to catch my eye.
Lyle Lovitt's right beside me
with his hand upon my thigh.

The moral of my story
is simple, but it's true:
The stars might lie
but the numbers never do!

Hey, Dwight! Hey, Lyle!
Boys! You don't have to fight!
Hot damn, I feel lucky tonight!
Think I'll flip a coin,
I am a winner either way!
Hmm-mmn, I feel lucky today!
- Mary Chapin-Carpenter


Sums up my feelings about astrology!

Hmm. In that case, I think you are a Libra Mari. And no, not Leo, but very close!

And I think Beestie's a Scorpio.

Bingo, Cat! So what's near Leo? Cancer? Gemini?

Wolf: sooo close for the guess for Sycamore.

I'm going to guess that Catwoman is a Scorpio.

Mari it was one of your guesses, so not Scorpio. (Funny, people always think I'm either Leo or Scorpio!) Lady Syc I reckon you're either Capricorn or Pisces. :)

Catwoman wrote:

Guess again.

Hint: All Signs point to the Cardinal getting a drink of Water.

Shoots hand up Aquarius Aquarius!!!

Not yet :)

All [color=Black]Signs point [/color]to the [color=Red]Cardinal [/color]getting a drink of [color=Red]Water[/color].

2nd hint: this number is known for its symbolick content. **

**misspelling intentional

Cancer! (Beestie you are a dirty boy ;) )

Catwoman wrote:

Cancer!

Yes! Tell her what she's won, Johnny!

I'll be the six if you be the nine.... (yes, I'm Cancer too!) ;)

Close, with the Capricorn guess (as far as "earth" signs go). I am an early September babe, which makes me a Virgo: :D

Anyone care to try to guess mine or haven't I been around you guys long enough? :D

why don't you just come right out and SAY you're a Leo? [size=1]or a Taurus[/size]

I suppose I should reveal the true purpose of this thread at this point, now that it has reached the third page (default settings).

This was created to test for Tards^™. those of you that responded are, in fact, tards. myself included. I wanted to make up the most pedantic and useless topic i could think of, and astrology came bubbling up from the depths. Looks like Hubris Boy was right, after all.

Those of you that thougt this was a stupid thread, and not worth responding to, you must be Giants. congratulations. there will be a little gold star appearing next to your name in the next 24 hours so that everyone knows it.

So he was right. :biggrindu Now, moving on to more important things...like Astrology...

I'm not sure if it was directed towards me, but I'm not a lion or a bull. We are now down to 10.

Actually, the joke's on you, LJ. This thread just goes to show how the highly intelligent and witty people who hang out in the cellar can take even one of YOUR topics and have fun with it :handball: :Flush: :lol: I guess CyberWolf is a Capricorn.

actually, mari, the thread wasn't really a test. that last post was. guess what?

On the subject of the silliness of astrology, a woman I worked with once tried to convince me that it had a scientific basis because, just as a woman's body goes through monthly cycles, she claimed it also goes through subtle yearly hormonal cycles as well, and these affect a developing fetus enough that the time of year you're born DOES have something to do with your personality. She acknowledged that the stars part of it was crap, but held fast to her hormonal cycle theory.

That's theoretically possible, but possibly less likely in the era of furnaces, air conditioners, and bulk transportation of food. But the real trick in testing the hypothesis would be in creating meaningful tests for personality traits.

Bad day at the office, hmmm? There, there, we forgive you. ;)

Ah, yes. I remember the days when a good pick-up line was "What's your sign?"
A girl I worked with once asked me "What sign were you born under?"
"It said 'Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjigatus Nunc'™"
(We Gladly Feast On Those Who Would Subdue Us)

Not quite : :blkwht:

CyberWolf just might be a gemini.

Crimson Ghost ... Aries or Taurus.

We're down to 7! My mom's a Gemini, but I'm not.
