Today, D-Day, Rojie asks:

What is your sleeping position? Sleeping position + personality + health. Click on the link to find your position.

When I read the word “position” my mine immediately flashed to Groucho Marx and the song from Horse Feathers, Whatever It Is, I’m Against It. I wonder if young people – and by young people I mean anyone younger than 50 – even know who the Marx Brothers are.

Ok, back to business.

I usually read before I go to sleep and when I do that I always fall asleep and spend the next few hours on my back. And this is another great thing about a Kindle because when that happens you never lose your place in the book. But if I don’t read before I go to sleep then my default go to sleep position is on my left side with my knees drawn up and my hands up by my head. Now I’ll click the second link above and we’ll see what that says about me.

Ok, the article didn’t really have much to say. “Sleeping on your left side keeps your stomach below your esophagus and makes it tougher for stomach acid to rise.” Good to know. Apparently there’s no real science behind sleep position which I suppose is good because now I don’t have to worry about my sleep position being weird or something and I can return to the daily horoscope to find out about myself.

I googled my daily horoscope and learned:
Expect to spend a lot of time communicating with others, perhaps texting multiple friends at one time either individually or in a group chat. At least one could end up being helpful to your professional life. A lot of stimulating conversation could take place today, Scorpio, perhaps giving you clues to opportunities or trends that you want to follow. 

I have a better chance of NASA calling me and telling me I’m on the next space flight than anything in that horoscope happening.

I found another:
Privacy, please! Your emotions are in overdrive under today’s sizzling sync-up of the Sun in your seductive eighth house (the Scorpio zone) and the experimental Aquarius moon in your foundational fourth. While you’re free to do what you heart desires, that doesn’t mean you should broadcast it over your social media feeds. Especially if you’re getting closer to someone, respect your special thing and keep it yourselves—at least for now—and enjoy the juicy secrecy.

Is this English? I don’t understand any of that. What kind of experiment is Aquarius running on me?

And another:
Quiet strength moves through your home space. Protecting your base at home becomes wiser and easier as feelings settle and a deeper bond steadies you from the inside out. The moody Moon in your 4th House of Home forms a smooth trine with the vibrant Sun in your 8th House of Intimacy, easing private conversations. Clear one small corner, then sit with family or a trusted ally to name what strengthens safety and what needs changing. Reveal wisely, and trust grows deeper roots. 

Jackpot! Home base is mentioned; a baseball reference and I like that. And the moody Moon must mean the astrologer knows I like the Moody Blues. A smooth trine, how did they know I’m always trine to do things right? I think this astrologer actually gets me. And the House of Intimacy, is that like a brothel or something because I’m not sure I want that but who am I to say no? And I’m all for easing any conversation, not just private ones. And the writer is right with trust grows deeper roots and with the recent rain we’ve had the flowers I planted have shot up because they’ve developed deeper roots.

Time to face the day.

The Marx Brothers did make a short in 1921 called “Humor Risk” but after being previewed once the film was never released and Groucho was rumored to have burnt the film negatives but who the fuck knows

The Marx Brothers began their performing life as teenagers in the early 1900s. After success in Vaudeville & Broadway they made their way into film. By the time “The Cocoanuts”(1929) was made most of The Marx Bros.were in their early 40s/late 30s!

“The Cocoanuts” (1929) was Kay Francis’s second feature film and it was The Marx Brothers first “official” feature film.

There were 5 Marx Brothers: Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo AND Zeppo Marx. Their film work was mostly comprised of Chico, Harpo, Groucho & Zeppo while Gummo went on to be a successful entertainment agent & businessman. Zeppo would also leave film work to join Gummo in entertainment management & also his personal work in inventing/engineering things

I was embarrassingly old before I realized that Groucho’s trademark eyebrows and mustache were grease paint 😶 BUT he did grow a real mustache later in life

Lucille Ball murdered Harpo Marx and replaced him in The Marx Brothers. Because Harpo never spoke, it was the perfect crime.

Out in the alley, under my porch. I'm of an age where I Immediately start thinking Harpo Marx jokes.

There. I said it.

And yes, the score for the 2020 restoration of “Too Many Kisses” was done by none other than Bill Marx, Harpo Marx’s son
