SEPTEMBER 26-OCTOBER 2, 2018 UCW 51 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication New world order Kimberel Eventide, 36, believes her purpose here on Earth is to help other humans become elves, just like herself. A resident of Illinois, Eventide identifies as a Pleiadian Starseed, an Otherkin who first realized she was an elf after reading and watching the "Lord of the Rings" series by J.R.R. Tolkien. She spends her time dressing as an elf in silk, velvet or nature-in- spired clothing and pointed elf ears – but she doesn't wear them all the time because "my own ears have a slight point to them." Eventide's husband supports her elfdom but "he does not understand it and does not watch many of my videos," she said. "I am an Elven spiritual teacher who offers personal Skype online sessions to help individual souls," she explained to the Daily Mail. Her mission, called "Projectelvenstar," is specifically to help humans transform themselves into High Elves – "ears are optional but can become a byproduct of be- coming extrasensory and hearing bet- ter over time." [Daily Mail, 8/29/2018] Fooled ya! University of Houston student Jehv M. looked at a blank wall in his local McDonald's and saw opportunity. Hoping to boost Asian representa- tion in the burger chain's advertis- ing, Jehv created a poster featuring himself and a friend touting McDon- ald's french fries. ey bought used McDonald's uniforms at a thrift store as disguises, then boldly hung the poster in a Pearland, Texas, location as customers ordered and ate around them. United Press International re- ported that 51 days later, the poster still hung on the wall unnoticed, as shown in a photo on Jehv's Twitter feed. As of Sept. 4, it was not clear whether management at McDonald's knew of the poster's origins. [UPI, 9/4/2018] Least competent criminals ieves in Roanoke County, Vir- ginia, hit the same shoe store twice in July and August, according to e Roanoke Times, stealing shirts, hoodies, jackets – and right shoes. irteen shoes meant for a right foot were taken from Clean Soles, where store operator Rob Wickham said he typically displays right shoes and keeps the mates behind the counter. ey're "not much good unless you have two right feet," said Wickham. A 17-year-old suspect has been charged with the July break-in.

Question: My husband and I were watching an episode of Season 2 of "e Sinner" on USA and the naughty "F" word was said two or three times in a scene. Since when is it OK to use that word on a network channel? – Natalie Matt Roush: e lines are blurrier nowadays, but USA is a cable network and not subject to the content restric- tions that still more or less apply to the broadcast networks. Even so, it hasn't been that long since networks like FX or AMC (reliable envelope pushers) would edit out or mask the hardest of profanities, but now it's fairly common. It was especially no- ticeable this summer on Paramount Network's "Yellowstone," a show about which I fielded many complaints about the excessive foul language – maybe not on the level of "Deadwood," but enough to rattle a number of Western fans hoping for something a little less dark and profane. Question: "e Orville" is the cleverest send-up of and homage to "Star Trek." Is it coming back? – EBP Matt Roush: I wish I had a better sense if this show was a send-up or an hom- age, but yes, while it's not on the fall schedule, "e Orville" will be back by midseason. ere are reports it will premiere on Dec. 30 and resume its ursday night operations in January when football season is over.
