Packers by 7? Oh, Nostradamus, thy crystal ball faileth thee. Thou truly art a sucker, taking a road dog and giving points like that. Mayhap thou meant take the Packers AND 7.
BTW, it should be “Heavy LIES the crown on head” and “The armies will LIE down,” unless someone named “Heavy” is placing the crown on the head, and the armies are laying down their weapons!.Lay (present tense) is transitive and requires and object. I lay an egg (and no, wild sows do NOT actually lay eggs!)Lie (present tense) is intransitive. I lie on the couch..It gets confusing because the the past tense of “lie” is ALSO “lay”! Yesterday I lay on the couch all day. The past tense of lay (transitive verb) is “laid.” Yesterday I laid an egg on the table (and no, sows still do not lay eggs!).For the past perfect tense, it’s “laid” for lay (transitive.) I have laid an egg every day for a week! (No, I actually haven’t, since I’m a wild sow, not a bird!) For the past perfect of lie, it’s “lain.” I have lain on the couch every day this week! Until I had to get up to lay my eggs!
Good catch. Capt. Archer was an easy one for me, but I carelessly left it out when I typed my comment. I still don’t know who Cancer and Leo are. I think this Leo has too much hair to be Durocher.

Good one, Capt Bullock – I didn’t notice the astrological connection! Don’t know the rest, tho!

I hope it’s not the actual zodiac, because I was a Sagitarius but now I’m the new one, Orphiucus, or whatever it is.

It’s a good time to start a project when a comet appeareth? It’s no wonder why all my projects fail.

Cancer was a personal reference. A friend, Logan Whitehurst, who died from cancer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Whitehurst
