In my Chinese takeout...

[LoCash]

I found an empty fortune cookie bag. It was sealed, still had air in it. It had not been unsealed in any way, shape, or form. Just a fortune cookie bag. With nothing in it. There was no fortune cookie astray inside of the bag. Nothing. Nada. No cookie for Jack. No fortune for Jack.

Quite poetic... story of my life :p

[thedustin]

HaHa. I thought it was bad to get a cookie w/o a fortune, but that's the worst I would guess. Hang it from your rear view mirror for shits 'n giggles. Nothin' like no fortune to wash down you kung pow cat..

:lol:, it fits with your title!

Uh...

:(

"Didn't get laid OR a fortune" :confused:

[LoCash]

My first thought was that the gods hated me. Then I began to get mental images from Xena: Warrior Princess episodes. Only, the only mental images conjured were of Xena and Gabrielle making out. Which wasn't so bad, and it took my mind off the fact that I got an empty fortune cookie wrapper.

Fuck. I got an empty fortune cookie wrapper. :(

They're a cute couple ;)

You're taking it better than I would, Jack. The symbolism of a completely empty fortune cookie bag would scare the hell out of me and keep me up at night.

;)

"Oooh, this CAN'T be good..."

[Windswept]

Think of it this way, Jack: the gods are trying to tell you that your fortune, fate, destiny and life are completely what *you* make of them.

In other words, YOU are like a god yourself ! :)

Oh, Mighty One!

(How do you like *that* interpretation? :D Make ya feel any better? :lol: )

[billybobsky]

or far more likely... there are no fortunes left. you are dead.

Hey now, don't be a 'gloomy Gus', billybobsky. ;)

[Escher]

I found an empty fortune cookie bag.

LoCash: I very rarely eat my fortune cookies. They all just sit in a pile in the kitchen. Should I send you one as a house-warming gift in Atlanta? ;)

Somewhat on topic, here's my favorite cookie fortune ever. Some years ago, in college, I went out for Chinese food with my girlfriend. At the end of the meal, my fortune read: "Happiness is sitting next to you." This girl and I will have been married for five years this Saturday (and together for nine)... cheesy, but true.

My second-favorite cookie fortune had something to do with breaking Windows, but I can't find that one right now. (I keep the good ones around.) :)

Carol just summarized my religious beliefs, in a nutshell. We make or are our own gods and make our own fate, just like we want them to be. Now how do we make sure that the mighty LoCash gets laid ASAP? ;)

[psmith2.0]

I didn't know you moved to Atlanta. Bring shorts and an A/C...

[Wickers]

Well it could have been worse. I mean, I get some that read "You like Chinese Food" . . . and then I get all freaked out, wondering how the hell did the cookie know?

Pardon me while I grab my tin foil hat and lie under my bed.

;)

[709]

Maybe your new title should be 'Unfortunate'.



*badumchiiiing* :p

[Escher]

pscates: I'm pretty sure LoCash (and Carol, right?) is moving, but I'm also pretty sure he's not quite there yet.

Hi Escher. LoCash and I are about 2,000 miles apart; and the only move I'll be making in the near future is 'out' of this chair and outside to mow the lawn. :(

Dread.... :no:

Nah...surprisingly enough, I actually find myself in a lawn-mowing mood today! :eek: (Will wonders never cease?!)

Edit:
Btw, both our comments about taking control of our lives have inspired me to get busy and *do* so. Who said hanging out on messageboards was a waste of time?! ;)

[Akumulator]

I'll mow your lawn.... ;)

[Windswept]

I'll mow your lawn.... ;)
Um...that is...I...uh...... :o

[LoCash]

Oh I didn't take the symbolism of the empty wrapper well at all. I took 18mg of Melatonin chased with a few shots of NyQuil and went to bed.

The last time I actually opened and read a fortune cookie fortune (I usually toss them on the floor as instant cat toys) was when I was watching the Unabomber TV movie on USA. I swear, I opened the fortune cookie and it said, "You will get something exciting in the mail." My friend was there to witness this too. I refused to check the mail for a week after that.

I'm packing up all my stuff in Boston on the 28th, and probably beginning the trek back to Atlanta on the 29th. I grew up in Atlanta, so I'm well aware of the horrifically hot and humid environment to which I am returning. Cost of living is cheaper there, and I already have work waiting for me when I return, so it's tough to say no to that.

Carol: No idea why I thought that you and LoCash were significant others. Must have been browsing for too long that day... ;)

That's excellent! :) Maybe I should shut down this silly computer and get back to studying for the bar. It's still ten days away and I'm almost already assuming that I will flunk it. :grumble:

Goodness gracious, LoCash. You really frighten me. I get a hangover just from taking one of the 3mg pills with a can of beer.

It's scary how true to life cookie fortunes can be! I was going to say that you were paranoid. But then I remembered that I slept with my head completely under my sheets for several years after being terrified by E.T. on the big screen (dubbed in German to boot). :\

I'm packing up all my stuff in Boston on the 28th, and probably beginning the trek back to Atlanta on the 29th.

Hope you have a smooth move, LoCash. I hate moving, except that it has always encouraged me to divest of my worldly possessions. May I suggest some Modafinil for the drive? Should do you better than Melatonin. ;)

I grew up in Atlanta, * * * I already have work waiting for me when I return, so it's tough to say no to that.

Gotta go where the work is! Going back to the place of your youth, presumably with old friends and family, is an added (major) bonus. Think how psyched you'll be when Boston gets pounded by blizzards and blistering cold a few months from now! :lol:

I got this in a cookie, what does it mean?

[psmith2.0]

I believe it means "When there are threads to be bumped, you should do so".

[thegelding]

hey, paul is back


on topic

i once bought a pez that had no head...was in a sealed package and i thought, hey if i keep this in it's package, it might be worth something...but, sadly, the dog found the pez package and ate through it to get to the candy...so no headless pez in pristine package for thegelding...having a dog is learning to deal with loss, in many ways

[ast3r3x]

All in good fun I guess, but this happens all the time. I've even see the empty fortune cookie bag before. Once.

What I see all the time though...or did in high school, was emtpy chip bags. You'd think this would be a rareity, but it had to happen more then 2x a year...every year since 8th grade.

Carol and LoCash a couple huh? :eek:
wouldn't that be a sight...:lol:

LoCash washing down mystery pills with hard liquor while snorting coke off of Carol's stomach while she cry's to a dramatic book that relates to astrology ;)

[LoCash]

Sounds sexy, where do I sign up? I cry too sometimes, but only when I bump a lot of meth :p

[Mister Black]

Once I found shredded newspaper in my pho. I don't go to that pho place anymore.

Well, ast3r3x, I can guarantee you that if LoCash were snorting coke off my stomach, I definitely would *not* be reading a book! :lol: ;)

[alcimedes]

But she would be crying. :D

[Windswept]

But she would be crying. :D
NOOOOOO! I wouldn't!!!!! :p :lol:

[LoCash]

All you have to do is say, "Please", Carol.

[Windswept]

All you have to do is say, "Please", Carol.
Pleeeeeeeease! :)

[InactionMan]

I was got a fortune cookie that said, "You will soon have screaming diarrhea." Boy do I wish that one hadn't come true. :eek:

[ast3r3x]

LoCash won't be posting for a couple hours, he grabbed a flight to Carol's. :p

[LoCash]

"Please" only gets you a ride from the airport back to my place for the night, not my ass on an expensive plane ticket across the country :)

[Kickaha]

What if she flutters her eyelashes?

[Windswept]

"Please" only gets you a ride from the airport back to my place for the night, not my ass on an expensive plane ticket across the country :)
Hey, that was ast3r3x' comment, not mine. I'll pay for my own effing ticket, thankyouverymuch. :p

I hear that Atlanta in the springtime is quite nice. :)

And you 'do' remember that you missed your chance on the *love slave* scenario? (I bailed on that as soon as you started ordering me around. :p :lol: haha. I'm afraid that it seems I don't take well to 'orders'. My idea of love slavery would be purely on a voluntary basis and at my own initiative. :D *Not* slavery, you say? It would be the best kind, LoCash. Kinda like the "all-volunteer-army" - there because we wanna be. Makes for much better soldiers...*and* love slaves. :D )

[LoCash]

Even volunteer soldiers take orders. They kind of make your life a living hell if you don't.

Volunteer != Absolute Free Will

Try again, love ;)

My favorite fortune ever said "You are the greatest in the world." Which altho obviously true, still threw me through a loop. I didn't realize anyone else knew what I know.

I'll scan it when I get home from holiday.
