Today’s a big day for our good friend and personal heroine, Anntichrist S. Coulter: yes, it’s her birfday! Those of us who’ve known Annti lo’ these many years (and it’s hard to remember a time when her remarks weren’t lighting up the WO’C comment threads like a match dropped in a powder magazine) have long admired her humanity, her generosity of spirit, and her courage in the face of pain, adversity, and rednecks. And, like s.z., she has expended much time, blood, and treasure looking after the feral, abandoned, and generally more vulnerable members of society. So in honor of her being such an all around rare and wonderful egg, I’m going to skip the traditional Ann Coulter photo, because otherwise she might hurt me (Annti, that is; obviously the Coulter pic would sting) and try to appeal to her more eclectic tastes in flesh. Here’s the appetizer…
And here’s the entree:
Okay, now let’s take a squint at your horoscope, AC. Checking your “Solar Return chart” for this year, we see the following:
Mars trines Uranus
Of course it does. As Mars always says, “I’ll trine anything once.”
…and sextiles Saturn
Unfortunately, Saturn turned out to be an undercover cop.
Now I’m going to turn the floor over to Annti’s pal (and WO’C guest columnist) Bill S., who also remembered her birthday, of course, and sent me the following paean:
On October 11, Anntichrist S. Coulter turns 40 (as she mentions on her site Mark of the Beast).
As my tribute to her, rather than list any celebs who share her birthday, I present simply the YouTube links to the classic “Birthday” episode of Absolutely Fabulous, in which Edina celebrates turning 40 as only she can — by turning it into a crisis of epic proportions.
This happens to be one of my favorite episodes, for so many reasons: Patsy & Edina’s “Bones ‘n bumps” conversation, and their karaoke performance at the end; Saffy slapping Eddy and then calmly resuming cooking lunch; the debut appearance of Bo, who makes up for the absence of Bubble; Oliver delivering one of the most quotable insults ever (more suitable for Ann Coulter’s b’day than Annti’s), Justin and Marshall dishing about Edina; and the unusually lucid Gran deflating Bo’s annoying cheeriness…
Anyway, re-watching this episode is enough to take anyone’s mind off Getting Older, since for most of us, with age comes wisdom.
-Bill S.
Thanks, Bill. And I’d just like to add my heartfelt wishes that Annti have a great day, and many more of them. Happy birthday, AC!
Mutter mutter spring chicken mutter mumble mutter she probably thinks that’s old rhubarb mutter mutter happy birthday anyway mutter mutter mutter.
