SOUTHERN BIRTH SIGNS:

What's Your "Southern" Sign? Some of us (especially Southerners) are

pretty skeptical of horoscopes, and it has become obvious that what we

need are "Southern" symbols:

OKRA (Dec 22 - Jan 20) Although you appear crude, you are actually very

slick on the inside. Okras 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 come from humble backgrounds. A

chitlin, however, can make something of himself if he's motivated and

has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful. They can

erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with Catfish and Okra.

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. Or, 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 Sometimes you become so withdrawn,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 se ems to work for you. One day, however,

it won't work and you may find your problems actually running you over.

CRAWFISH (May 22 - June 21) Craw fish 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 to be not particularly attractive physically,

but you have very, very good heads.

COLLARDS (June 22 - July 23) Collards have a genius for communication.

They love to get in the "melting pot" of life and share their essence

with the essence of those round 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 (July 24 - Aug 23) Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the

heart, although one's 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 - Sept 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 (Sept 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.

Grits are GREAT! You can cook them like a cereal or you can make a casserole with cheese and garlic! Italians (and tres trendy restaurants) call them POLENTA. Then, they're very expensive! :wah:
