I just got food from a Chinese restaurant called the Dragon House. Actually, I guess it's an Asian restaurant, because, aside from the usual Chinese dishes, they're big into sushi. But you get a fortune cookie no matter what you eat. So, since I'm on vacation, I picked up some sushi, and took it to Christy's job so we could have lunch.

My fortune cookie was a thin strip of paper!!! It was just the edge of a fortune!!!!! Maybe 3cm long, and 2mm wide! I thought it rather terrifying!!! It's raining and there's still ice on the bushes from last night, and I had to drive home in it after getting a fortune that says I have no fortune!!! My future is a black wall of oblivion, fast-approaching!!!!!!!!!!

This may be the last thread I start. But it was wonderful knowing (almost) all of you.

OH NO! Hopefully you won't kick it before the next Pantheon turn results come in.

Well, if you do it means that Keev will have to start at ground zero and recruit someone else to aid her in her plot to rid Eiran of O-Gon-Cho....

No!! Damn it!! I will not leave you to face that alone!!! I will overcome this "fortune." I spit in its face!!! *ptoi*

Well, Keev and Zeph might have company since I emailed the rest of the Pantheon to see if there were any takers....

I got a fortune once that said "What have you done with your life?" I framed it.

I rather like the idea of my future being a blank slate, rather than something pre-decided by a cookie.

Yeah. . . the ones we get here are always pithy sayings. I rather like the bad predictions and generalities.

Between plans to roast my carcass, and plots to rid the world of my beloved, I discover I must look beyond the conflict with uKulwa and see the threats beyond our borders.

But, I yet trust all is well within Ilathi, with uKulwa's warriors passing through it, and heed not this vixen's words regarding its L-rd...

Fist, there are many more beautiful women that you and I need to look at. You're not going anywhere, not until I tell you to.

Man chased by "wall"

by Ace Cricket, special to The Global
13:30 CST Thursday December 11, 2008

The routine of the city was shattered today by a bizarre incident, as eyewitnesses reported seeing a man being pursued by a strange object as he was leaving a popular restaurant. Nearly all the eyewitnesses, among them some prominent citizens, agreed that the object in question was a "wall." A large black wall. As extraordinary as that sounds, those who saw the object stand by that description. They claimed that the man even turned and spat at the "wall" before running into his own car and speeding away, with the "wall" apparently in hot pursuit. There was no consensus on whether the "wall" had "legs" to chase the man, or if it just "floated" above the ground.

Across the street, taxi driver Trevor Pickle saw the events unfold behind the safety of his reinforced vehicle. "That was a crazy (expletive) thing he did, spittin' at whatever the hell that thing was. He's made it mad now. He's got balls, I'll give him that. If it was me, I'd ram that thing. I woulda helped out that poor bastard, but see, I'm on lunch."

City councillor Sally Crasseye said that the "wall" reminded her of the iconic black monolith from that "artsy-fartsy" movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. "Yeah, it was just as black as that monolith thing as I recall it. Only this thing was more square. And it was big. It spooked me. I don't know what it really was, but that's not important. What's important is that I hope this will make the Mayor realize that we need more camera surveillance to keep an eye on gangs, vagrants and God-knows what else is loose on the streets."

Joe Bullship, a business consultant who had been on his way to a meeting, offered his take on the incident: "It just goes to show that anything can happen in troubled economic times. Personally, I've seen crazier (expletive) than this in corporate boardrooms. Still, a guy being chased by a black wall...that's a bad omen for the market. I may have to advise some of my clients to sell."

The managers of the restaurant - the scene where it all started - have not been so talkative. They have declined to speak to the media, other than to say that they are fully co-operating with the proper authorities in this matter. There is rumour that the restaurant's security video cameras have captured the incident, but the managers remain silent. There is also a strange rumour that the restaurant has turned over all its fortune cookies to the police. But again, the managers have refused to comment.

What a bizarre coincidence!!!

Don't listen to all of these positive people, Fist. You're pretty much screwed.

It was really good getting to know you, and I hope that the afterlife is everything you've ever wanted it to be.

Ah! Thank you, Waddley! Finally I am taken seriously!!

So.."God" as a cookie ,doesn't strike you as possible?
reminds me of the Steve Martin movie where the traffic control electronic message board relayed God's message to the Martin character..

Eh, do as you will - but I do not make life-changing decisions based on arbitrary advice from pastries. This may be a flaw on my part, as some of them must deliver rare wisdom from time to time.

yes....i once had a reading of the lumps on my head. She suggested I wear a crash helmet when skiing.
