Uninvited Comments

Patton Oswalt is currectly starring as the lead rat in the new animated flick, Ratatouille. I've never heard of him before and I probably won't see the movie, but, while driving to the Costco today he was being interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air. Oswalt is also a Stand Up Comedian. In a discussion on how to handle Hecklers while on stage he managed to describe the difference between Leo and Aquarius perfectly. As an example of a Comedian who didn't handle hecklers well, of course, they brought up the Michael Richards Laugh Factory incident. I'm not kidding, Oswald said that he doesn't have the "Courage" to fly off into a "Rage" like that while on stage. Leo Words. He brought up the name of another comic, Bill Burr, who had also exhibited "Courage" in handling some hecklers, but who was somehow so verbally quick that he managed to turn his Rant into Poetry. I can't find Burr's birth date, but maybe he's got some Libra or Sagg in there. Who else to engage an audience in a rabid debate?

The really cool part of the Interview came next. When asked how he handles Hecklers, Oswalt said that he either "shuts down" or "lowers his voice and talks very softly". Terry Gross asked if anyone could then hear him over the Hecklers and he mentioned something about how they can go ahead and waste the money they spent on him. Then he said something like: "Indifference makes you more attractive to them and they shut up and listen." I just had to check to see if he's an Aquarius. Yesireebob: Jan. 27, 1969, Portsmouth, VA. If he ever gets tired of being a successful Actor and Comedian Oswalt would make a great Astrologer.
