I'd like a curse!

Please mention to Gina that the more specific the effects and timeframe of the curse are, the better. "The grass in your yard will die on Tuesday" is a lot better than "something bad will happen to you this week".

If this works out, we can set up a controlled experiment and prove beyond a doubt that these powers are real. A curse is a small price to pay for a potential breakthrough!

Yeah I'm always up for science.

What do I have to do?
God damn kids! Spoke like real scientists.
I already can see the mind controlled flying cars and jet-packs!!

Dude Abides said:
If anyone gets worried about their curse, I have a collection of rocks that will dispel curses. I'm charging $50 apiece plus shipping. I suggest you order one ASAP so it gets to you before noon PST. When you feel no effects from the curse, you'll know my rock worked!
Bollocks!
I have crystals (not some lame rocks) that not only dispel curses but also make your A/V system sound better. Only $49,99 (cheaper than your rocks).
Buy the 6-pack special discount offer ($399,99) and get a 3 meters HDM(agikal)I(mpervious)(tm) cable that keep ghosts always from your tv.

So Whoompthereitis do you think which avatar is better for this curse thing?

Hey, shhhhh ok, don´t let anyone listen. Curse using the first one. He seemed to believe in this mumbo-jumbo too, so it may work better. But I foresee the possibility, or not, that some people may, or may not, be pissed, or not, at her aparently not so clear.
Second one will crush her psychic power with his amazingness.
But don´t tell her, because she already knows. Shhhhhh

God damn it! This is the first post on page 7 and post #301. 3+0+1=4. 4x7=28. I´m #25 in the list 25-28=-3. Today is 23rd (2+3=5). 2010+5-3=2012
Two thousand fucking twelve!!!!!!!
Hoolyyy shit!

p.s. I forgot to say I´m also a Dark Lord of the Sith.
Thought it may be important.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
 
Can I be put on the curse list? Does it work internationally? Just wait a few hours, I'm about to go out on my bike on the freeway and I don't want to crash.

I find the lack of my name in this list disturbing.

So now I have to curse you.
Three times for every person on the list! HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA:

Nemo surdior est quam is qui non audiet!
 
Put me down for one curse. My name is William Hoo Ther-Eitis (I'm Asian-Greek so I dunno if this curse will work) but my friends call me "M.P."

So, I guess, just put down W. Hoo "M.P." Ther-Eitis

Regardless of how serious you are, the idea of going to a psychic with a list of internet usernames and a print out of a forum thread and asking thirty four identities to be cursed is a hillarious image.
 
:lol :lol :lol :lol

I'm curious to see how this pans out....

and please dont put me on the list...I have enough bad luck already lololol

Posting this thread in your wine induced stupor, I'll bet you never saw this coming..

..but Gina did!
 
Is Whoomp going to call them!?!?!?

edit: goddman I had to back track this thread to realize what Whoomper is doing, I see now!

looking forward to these results
 
Update:

I wake up today with a stomach ache and had to take a dump. I take a dump everyday, but I think we´re onto something.
I also have a sore throat and a mild frontal sinuses congestion since Thursday.

So GAF what do you think?
Curse that can travel back in time or just a common cold?

The tlot phickens.


Neoriceisgood said:
Oh cool, can I be added on that list? What's all this about?
It´s about a curse, The Dark Arts, space unicorns, a Gaffer being conned, again, and $100, or more, leaving someones pocket.

Talking about money, we should make up to 50 people on the list. Maybe Gina has some kind of family value curse. Or a curse 40 people and curse another 10 for free promotion.
 
Desaparecido said:
But they can curse people?
Of course not but if we go by the lore of psychics they aren't portrayed as God.

Look its like me saying dracula can walk on water and knows when you are sleeping. It is different from our perceived notion of what dracula can do even though he doesn't exist...

Although... now I realize the idiocy of arguing what a psychic can or can't do. Carry on!
 
Whoompthereitis said:
Man, you guys are so close-minded.

I once went to a psychic for a reading; this was like 3 years ago. She told me that there was a problem with my uncle, Steve. It was weird, because I do have an uncle named Steve. She said that he was having health problems.

Kind of creeped me out. She also told me that I'd meet the 'love of my life' very shortly, and that she'd be a short blonde.

The very next day I received a call from my Mom telling me that her brother Steve was in the hospital; had a heart attack. I was at the hospital within an hour, and while visiting Steve I socialized a lot with one of the nurses. She was a cute blonde, and she was about 5'1". Eventually I asked her out for coffee, and she said yes.

Three years later, me and her are still together. Steve's doing better as well, though he's had to make some dramatic changes to his lifestyle.

So in light of that, it really offends me when people make fun of psychics and say they're all frauds. Some of them are, of course, but some of them have amazing powers and do a lot to help people.


This is scary. Where is this psychic?
 
Where were all the psychics on September 10th, 2001? Shouldn't they have performed their moral duty by doing everything in their power to block the entrances of the Twin Towers before everyone arrived the next morning?

Whoompthereitis said:
Just made an appointment for Saturday at noon.

As I mentioned before, I'll be showing Gina a printout of this thread, and I'll get her to put a curse on anyone who agreed to be cursed. I promise I won't have her curse anyone who doesn't accept the challenge, and anyone who does can PM me before 10:00 am PST Saturday if they chicken out and decide they don't wanna get cursed.

I'll update the thread on Saturday evening and summarize who's been cursed; then we'll see who gets the last laugh....
You're the closed-minded one. Tell your charlatan to do her worst. I'll gladly participate in your pathetic game, because I'm not dumb enough to believe in magic. People with your worldview hold society back.

Let's make it better.

Whoompthereitis, please convince Gina to make an audio recording of her intoning all our usernames. A dark incantation would also be appreciated. You know, as proof that she really is going to "curse" us.

Okay, I just woke up. 4 hours until the appointment. Surprisingly, no one PM'd me asking to be taken off the list. I will check one last time at about 11:00 for any last minute additions or deletions. Also, please keep informing me if you see that I've made any typos on the list. I would like to be sure that the names on the list are accurate, in case that ends up being vital to the whole process.

Sorry I haven't been able to field all the questions, but I'll quickly try and cover a few points here:

1. I haven't been back for a proper session with Gina since the first visit. Her shop is literally a block away from my place however, and I walk by all the time. Occasionally she'll be out having a smoke when I walk by, and I've chatted with her a few times. She's met my girlfriend (the short blonde nurse she predicted!) and we told her the whole story about how we met just like she said we would. Most of the time when I walk by she's with a client however, she seems to do quite well unsurprisingly.

2. I'm not going to agree to any other proposals suggested in this thread for the time being. I will bring a printout of the entire thread with me when I go for my session, and based upon how the conversation with Gina goes, maybe the curse won't be viable. In that case I can discuss other ways for her to prove her powers to you guys, and I'll certainly not be afraid to consult your ideas. I do think a lot of them are very reasonable.

3. Again, I promise beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will not do any 'Internet Detective' work on any of you. I have no interest in finding out your names or locations or any other specific info. The curse will be based on your usernames and avatars. If Gina needs more personal info, I will decline.

4. I will report back after all is said and done. That could be anywhere from 12:30-1:00 PST, depending on how long the appointment takes. I really have no idea what to expect. I'm nervous, but a little excited like I'm sure a lot of you guys are.


If anyone comes to their senses and wants to bail out, PM me!

Not really surprising since most people signing up are aware that psychics only use cold reading and/or vague predictions, and in all the cases so far have not been able to demonstrate psychic powers in any controlled experiment.

Tell her that if she actually has real psychic powers she can get a million dollars from the James Randi Educational Foundation's Million Dollar Challenge. All she needs to do is show them that she has actual psychic powers and she wins a million dollars (which noone has ever won, because noone so far has exhibited and supernatural powers or abilites, only self-delusion and/or trickstery). If she says she isn't in it for the money, tell her that she could just take the million dollars and donate it to charity and watch her wiggle her way out of that one.

Once again:
m-night-shyamalan.jpg
 
Had one experience while I was at work. Random dude asking me if he wants my future read (or whatever psychics do).

he mentions my younger siblings, work stuff and what really blew my mind was the whole long distance relationship stuff (was in one).
Also told me to write a name of a flower and a color.

He named both. Mind blown. He mentions that I'll come across a lot of money and my love life will uhh, blossom? And that I shouldn't tell anyone that this happened.

Then he asks for goddamn money. From the cash register. Then from the bank. Told him sorry and he left. Then I mentioned this all to my mates.
A year later, relationship turns to shit and I have no money :lol

I predict she will find an excuse for not taking the challenge. Yeah fear my psychopowers peasants!
I also predict that Whoompthereitis will have less money after the visit.


Worst thing isn´t believing in this mumbo-jumbo.
It´s, after people repeatedly showed to you it´s all fake, clever tricks at best, despicable money grabbing bs at worse, willingly still believing in this crap.
 
Whoompthereitis said:

I hate to tell you, they all share the same psychic and she told them that she could protect them from Gina's awful dark powers.

That's right. It's a battle of the psychics!
 
Hi,

I'm back. Summary please.

God if the curse comes in the form of a massive hangover count me in for having worked.
 
IZZO said:
Are we cursed yet? ... I'm waiting
I don´t know. I was never cursed before hihihihihi.
Let´s hope Gina is gently and take it slow.


Wait! I think... I feel something...
No. False alarm. Just an ordinary fart.
Is the curse smelly farts?
If the answer is yes I think I´m cursed. Mine always smelled like freshly baked cinnamon and aple pie.
Hell, I´m getting nervous. Gonna take some homeopathic sleeping pills.

Okay, that's it. By the time you guys read this I'll be out the door. Gonna go grab a bite to eat, drop off some stuff at the drycleaners, go to the post office, then see Gina.
The list posted is the one I'll be using- too late to change anything now. I've printed out this entire thread; I'll only show her names/avatars of those on the list, promise.

Should be back to report in about 2 hours....
 
Oh no! I missed my chance to get taken off the list!

I need to contact Gina before it's too late. But all I have are these yellow quartz crystals, while the Psychic Hotline tells me she only communicates through rose quartz!

Does anyone have some rose quartz? I need to you tele up Gina and tell her not to curse me!

Whoomp, in case you can't tell, I'm joking. Bring on the hoodoo!

I hear Un'goro Crater has them in abundance.
 
So, it's time! 2 hours passed, anyone feeling any effects?

Edit: Steam is not letting me buy L4D2 dunno why! Goddamnit I wasn't on that list!!!
