| The Universe is conspiring against me |
|
Seriously. :)
I was having a bad day already. To try to bust myself out of a bad mood I decided instead of sitting at home in the dark brooding I would go out to dinner with friends. Wrangled up GOPisEvil and flush_bush for company and we went out for Mongolian Barbq. It was yummy and the guys were doing a great job distracting me from my mood.
Anyway, dinner ends and the waiter guy brings our fortune cookies. GOPisEvil plays eenie-meenie-minie-mo to pick his and opens it and gets a typically upbeat fortune.
I looked at him and said something along the lines of "with the day I'm having my forutne is gonna say 'give up now and avoid the pain'". He gave me a patented GOPisEvil look. I grabbed a fortune cookie, opened it, and...it was empty. NO FORTUNE AT ALL. *sigh*
Everyone on earth gets a happy smiley fortune...I get an empty cookie. Tell me that isn't a sign from the universe (just a sign that quality control is not so good at the fortune cookie factory).

| 1. No fortune is better than a bad fortune, |
|
VelmaD! Perhaps, if it was a sign, it meant -- YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY, begin now, don't listen to silly fortune cookies. :hi:

| 3. GOPisEvil said something similar... |
|
no news is good news. :)
I don't really believe in fortune cookies. Plus it was hard to get too upset with GOPisEvil sitting there next to me giggling giddily.

Not that I don't blame Will for plenty of stuff...but I always giggled at that word even before I met him.

| 21. Yes, but when you're drunk and playing Mad-libs, it's even funnier! |

We'll have to figure out something even more embarassing to top drunken mad-libs next time we've got him down in Texas. :evilgrin:

I had never gotten an empty fortune cookie before or seen anyone else get one. Feels better knowing it isn't just me though. Thanks. :)

| 11. Happened to me last week |
|
The empty fortune cookie syndrome strikes me about once a year. Let's see, I eat about 26 fortune cookies a year, that means about a 4% defect rate.
Damn Chinese! :silly:

invented by (and made in) america. It's the only thing we haven't shipped over seas: fake oriental goods.

| 4. Next time, take their fortunes, and add the words |
|
"In bed" to the end of them. You won't get a fortune, but you might bget a good laugh.
But I'm already jealous. Eating Mongolian BBQ in Austin on a Tuesday night must mean you're doing something right in your life!

| 9. We did the "in bed" thing... |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 09:55 PM by VelmaD
flush_bush's opinion was that I did get a fortune...it's just "in bed". :) That works for me.
And you're right...having Mogolian barbq in Austin on a Tuesday WITH GOPisEvil and flush_bush ain't half bad. :)

| 12. I could never figure out what that meant |
|
When they tell you your "lucky numbers" . :shrug:
"Your lucky numbers are 4, 7, 10, 23, 8, and 74. . . IN BED!!!"
:wtf: :P

| 13. I think I could handle 4 and 7... |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 10:01 PM by VelmaD
and even 8. Ten would be a real stretch....even for me. 23 and 74 are completely out of my league. :evilgrin:

| 18. Haven't talked to my "Daphne" about it yet... |
|
I'll probably give her a holler at work tomorrow when things get boring and tell her all about it. She's gonna cackle like a madwoman when she hears about this one. :)
