Wtf?

All I see is Mars. There is a bluish star flickering but I don't know the constellations like you nerds do.

Mars is almost directly overhead right now. I think that really bright flickering star is near where Sirius is supposed to be, but I've never noticed it to be almost as bright as Jupiter.

Yes it is straight up overhead.

Is the bluish star the star you are talking about? It is pretty bright and flickering pretty good.
 
Lucky Red, you must live in the boonies ... I have to drive at least 20 minutes to really see any stars.

Yeah, its Sirius, the Dog Star.
 
Alpha Canis Major, Sirius ( 6h 45m - 16° 43') has a magnitude of -1.5 and with a distance of 8.6 light years, is the second brightest star in the sky. Sirius is a blue-white class AI star with a surfce temperature of about 10,200 K. It is part of a binary system having a white dwarf companion of magnitude 8.5 is known both as Sirius B and the Pup. Sirius B was the first example found of a white dwarf. Sirius transits on February 16.

What is that bright thing flickering like mad in the sky about half way between the belt of Orion and the horizon?

That is the after effect of Mike Tyson's punches.
 
Night Jack.

I am wondering why my Samoth incantation didn't work. Maybe I am not using the correct inflection in my voice. Must be something only JuicedMohawk can say.
