The Feast of the Strumpets

Today is a day of perfection, or at least a day that should be set aside for the ultimate seekers of perfection. Of whom do I speak: Virgos, specifically those born on September 9.

It has been said, "These people are perfectionists -- a fact that often makes their life difficult while pissing off everyone around them. You may expect amazing physical stamina from them, but you should beware of the perfectionism that can cause emotional turmoil and just wear your nerves down to a nub. Their picking of nits is more than enough to cause a preacher to cuss and drive a normally sober person to heavy drinking. This is their nature; it's hard to change them."

I intend to honor those born on this date by dining tonight at the Feast of the Strumpets, which I understand begins today. A fellow blogger mentioned something the other day about the strumpets blaring to the point of rupture, or some such. I am a strong strumpet supporter from way back so, in their honor I hope to get juiced to Jesus at the feast and not get ruptured in the process. I'll report back at a later date.

Now, could you pass me a celebratory birthday bottle?
