It's Sunday morning. Can we burn ginbarn as a witch today?
ginbarn invited me to pick a card out of a deck. Any card. After I made my selection, she had me concentrate on a little piece of wire she found. She then heated the wire with a cigarette lighter, and the wire bent itself into the name of the card I had just selected!

Should we use hay, charcoal, or Sweet Lady Propane to get the job done? :silly:

2. She's been studying a lot of tricks lately...
Oh, great. Now she just bent a quarter in half with her bare hands. And I was gonna use that quarter for laundry!

Only thing is, I made a mark on that quarter with a permanent marker, so I know she didn't switch the quarter out. Damn.

4. Ok thats it!
I'm thinking hay with a good solid charcoal base. We can start the fire with a propane torch :D

3. Only if she weighs the same as a duck.

What do you do with witches? Burn them.

And what do you burn, apart from witches? More witches. And Wood.

Now, why do witches burn? because they're made of wood.

Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood? Build a bridge out of her.

But can you not also build bridges out of stone? Oh yeah.

Does wood sink in water? No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!

No, no. What else floats in water? A Duck.

Exactly. So, logically... If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.

And therefore is a witch!

5. Hay burns too fast
I think the standard recommendation is a large pile of dry wood, liberally laced with some sort of propellant (I think the Powers That Be would recognize lighter fluid as a propellant).

Still, with powers like that, the little minx might turn the tables on you. I suggest that instead you bow at her feet and worship her.

7. I could do that...
You're not suggesting she dress up in latex and vinyl, are you?

"Do you have any last words?"

"Abracadabra."
