CAPTAIN RIBMAN* - CahToArms! by Sprengelmeyer & Davis
Paper Tigers Poetry by Mitch Frye/The Gamecock
When I chase down the tail end
of a Chinese buffet,
I eat the fortune cookie whole: |'wK
Hare-like at first
. I as I size it up
with my incisors,
then more like a snake
* as I slip the package
down my unhinged gullet.
1^1:.^! pi 1 render it a receipt
to be read by no one,
its lucky numbers falling
on blind innards.
1 \
1 think that fate
is best left to bile, *,
that my body speaks heaps
more than some sweet-tooth haiku,
that Confucius is wasting his time
dictating analects to baked goods
and expecting them to make good IW
on the grammar.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES The more you learn,
the more you realize you don't
know. Don't be ashamed; if s just
a phase of the journey toward
wisdom. You're getting there.
TAURUS If you can't get a
raise, maybe you can improve
your benefits. It’s worth a try,
and it's worth making a few
phone calls. You're very per
suasive now.
GEMINI How can a charming
conversationalist like yourself
become awkward and tongue
tied? Don't sweat it. Let the oth
ers do the talking and they'll
think you're brilliant.
CANCER You're enormously
creative now. You have to be, or
you'd be totally inundated.
Learn to delegate and you'll be
headed for your next million.
LEO Be careful - your ideal
ism is about to carry you away.
New changes seem perfect, but
are they practical? Keep a lid on
expenditures.
VIRGO It might seem as if you
never have enough time any
more. Loved ones understand,
so keep at a tough job until you
get it finished.
LIBRA You can learn whatev
er you don't know. You might
not know it all, but knowing
you, you know more than they
think you do.
SCORPIO Look for ways to in
crease your income without in
creasing your output.
Amazingly, that becomes possi
ble over the next few days.
SAGITTARIUS Your ability to
communicate is still lagging the
awesome insights you're re
ceiving. This is OK, you'll be
called to teach soon enough.
Take notes if you must.
CAPRICORN Your mind might
be racing a mile a minute. Don't
ask your body to keep up. Hide
away in a private place for some
serious contemplation. You
might discover that you want to
change direction.
AQUARIUS You're an excel
lent team player, and with good
reason. You get much farther,
faster, that way. Call a meeting
and outline new plans.
PISCES Some of the orders
you receive might not make
much sense. But they do make
sense, from a bigger perspective.
Trust an honest, wise leader,
and you'll get to the right place.
