That's cause we packed them all off to Nauru :devil:

What do you us on the toads, Ali? 5 iron?

Sounds like Glatt had a fine childhood. Ever take on a giant bull-ant nest with home-made flamethrowers?

Dana, your mum is cool. And she brought tea and sandwiches. :lol:

We usually use any old thing. Cricket wickets for the short kids. Old bats for the bigger ones. Golf clubs...even putters are ok.

I knew a bloke who used an air pistol. He found that direct shots would deflect off their backs, but if he hit the ground just in front of them, the ricochet would strike under their chins and flip them over backwards.

This is of course cruel and callous. We are supposed to catch them, put them in a suitable container, and then place them in the fridge and then the freezer, thus causing a painless death. And then when you belt them with a golf club, they explode.

When we were kids, some of the boys used to copper wire two toads together by the legs and throw them over the power lines.

The parents weren't impressed, but the boys thought they were pretty clever.

What happened? If the wire only touches one power line, the toads would be safe from electrocution (bird-on-a-wire effect) but die a slow death of thirst and starvation. If the wire touches two power lines the current will flow across the wire, leaving the toads untouched.
Pretty clever my foot. No grasp of physics. Could also black out your own house and melt your ice-cream.

Well, whichever way it went, they became an eyesore, and a nosesore too.

There's nothing worse than the stink of a rotting toad.

oooh, look... the poll results are spelling out the letter E. The spirits are trying to tell us something! but what?.......

E... E... E...


Elspode! Elspode is the answer.

now, what was the question?

It's telling you to invite Elspode for the birthday party.

E is for Evil

E is for exorcist.

Done that. To a OUIJA board. Left a mark.

I'm curious for details.

After the commercial, we'll be talking with parents, educators, and licensed counselors to discuss the seemingly harmless Magic 8 Ball.

Magic 8 Ball: innocent fun or a portal to the devil? Next on Dr Phil.

Why should those be considered mutually exclusive?

[/thread]

:lol:

Are they mostly Americans?

I played it with my friends when I was 10. And guess what? Nothing happened. Wooooo.

I don't take quotes from Aleister Crowley seriously. Not that people haven't also tried this before as well, and you are the first. I still don't. And if I were to talk to the people that have quoted Crowley today, I think I would also get a different answer from those people.

I think the Ouija works if you THINK it works. Like everything.

Kind of like how my kids think they can fly? :eyebrow:

Well, it works for me. BTW, I just went online and bought myself a ouija board All Because of this Thread!!

Good job. But those kinds of gifts should be on the list to Santa. :)

Your kids can fly.

Just not very well.

Online ouija board. Ask away.

Stupid thing lies like a dog.

For god's sake DON'T LOOK AT IT. I did and a debil ate my brain.

Now, can someone tell me if the online Ouija board is more effective, less effective, or the same as the cardboard version, and why? :rolleyes:

Define "effective".

• More accurate? Depends on the programming or the people moving the damn widget.
• Better for communicating with "spirits"? Exactly the same.
• Better entertainment? Subjective.

Oh DUH Pie.

BETTER AT CONJURING SPIRITS. ;)

In your opinion, which is the same as mine, they are equally good at conjuring spirits.

I would like to hear what those folks who think a Ouija board has even a remote possibility of contacting spirits think, and why cardboard is a better ghost conjurer than the intrawebz.

Shawnee, it wasn't a devil eating your brain, it was my pre-death, evil spirit, that came by to swallow your soul, and to carry it in my fowl womb. And on to the 7th level of hell, to vomit it on a demon's new 3 piece suit. So the 7 demon daughters could unfold their master plan to steal your first born bebbe'. Makes sense? K?

BWUAHAHAHAAA! *evil grin*

Sounds like a plan. :)

Look chickies--I bought MY soon-to-arrive ouija board precisely BECAUSE I have an insatiable need to play with fire. I will let you KNOW which devils I conjur and how successful they are. thanks for playing.

Duh~! coz on the intrawebz you can pretend to be ANYBODY! The cardboard version knows it's YOU.

Look, almost all the twisted brains hanging around in one thread. I LOVE it!

:lol:

I know how to party with the Ouija what can I say? ;)

But that brings me to the question: are wedgies suitable for 11 year olds?

Oh the indicator has swung to yes!! Wow!!!

You don't need a ouija to conjure a devil. I eat spicy food for the same effect, myself.

Oh, great. Reports are coming in - the entire Eastern Seaboard is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity. Alleged ghost sightings and related supernatural occurances have been reported across the entire Tri-State area.

I'm looking out my window at the Stay Puft Marshmallow man right now.

Cats and dogs living together ... and something about a giant Twinkie.

When my son was 3-4ish he had a massive obsession with Mary Poppins. (And the Sound of Music to a lesser extent; I told Mrs. Dallas he was bound to be disappointed when he learned that Julie Andrews was way too old for him.) At the same time, he had a full-blown obsession with umbrellas. He couldn't pass an umbrella display in a store without pitching a massive fit to be allowed to get one. We eventually "solved" this by buying up 18" umbrellas at the dollar store, so he'd always have his own umbrella.

But the Mary Poppins <-> umbrella connection was obvious. We were worried he'd decide to hop off the stairs so he could fly with the umbrella.

You sure about that? Maybe it was just Krampus?

we'll see if it's right...

Hey, my Ouija board is gonna glow in the dark, beeeyotches!

I asked that stupid online thing why does my back hurt and it answered NO. Dumbass thing.

Yabbut, Labrat's question yielded the answer 9 inches. Maybe it gets the answer right, but the answer is to the wrong question? ;)

It is weird though, that it knew she was looking for a number.


Now I'm scared.:mg:

Actually, it just answered "9"--with no units specified. It might 9 feet or 9 nanometers or, for that matter, 9 days.

I'm going with 9 fathoms -- 54 feet.

That would work!

Shit.

Better hit the store on the way home tonight then...

Ahem. Yeah, I knew that. That was why the 9 was italicized. However, any other explanation did not fit my double entendre. So there...hmmph. :right:

;)

<serious>It just twigged on the phrase "how much". Easy enough to program a short list of "quantifier" type questions, etc. Then hook it up to a random number generator. </ly>

Liar. Thems ghosts in them webz.

Seriously, that makes sense. I'm not very bright. :)

but it's labrat. probably every question she asks can be answered with a 9. How does the game know that? scary.

Hot damn, I'm a believer!

Where will I find love? - Near
When will I find love? - Very Soon
How much love will I find? - 1

No threesomes for me then!

What is Sundae Girl? - unclear (pretty harsh!)
so I tried
What is TW - may be later [sic]

So when Bri's board arrives we could have a Ouija session in chat and see what the cellar ghosties have to say. I bet ghostoflumberjim'll show.

I remember when LumberJim died.
Now it's Cicero.
The board will tell us who is next to go.

(s'okay - online ouija says A Stranger, so it's a noob)

Nope. We have people immigrating here in vast numbers from more Asian countries than western although I think (not certain) that the majority of western immigrants come from the UK (except from NZ and the Pacific Islands, but they mostly keep their NZ citizenship and become 'permanent residents' of Australia instead. At least that means they can't vote I suppose.)

We don't hit them with golf clubs though. They already whinge enough as it is. ;)

Maybe it means someone who is stranger than all the rest of us.

Been nice knowing you!

Monty Python covered the use of the occult by the Police. The Ouija board bit, which I think of every time I see this sketch, is at about 3:00.

I see the seeds of Harry Potter up there, toad.

It makes me think of "evil". Like these guys. Pure evil....




The uh, puppies of pergatory.

Ouija is a divination tool. Divination tools are not inherently good or bad by themselves, but one can make a pretty good argument for why 11 year olds shouldn't be doing divination.

If anyone wants more of a diatribe on all of this, PM me, 'cause I don't want anyone here to think I'm wacky, nor do I wish to bore anyone.

Never stopped me before.

Maybe kids are better equipped to handle divination than adults? Maybe the fact that they have an excuse for not being able to determine what's real and what isn't, makes them all the better for it.

You guys sound so caustic about it. 11 year olds don't conjure evil(not your average one anyway). Adults do. All the symptoms and evidence are inside this thread.

Am I evil???
:rtfm::devil:


Oh, goodie!

And this makes it really obvious that you have not raised a child, average or otherwise.

I am sorry, most evil manifestations are caused by adults. It happens to be the internal manifesting in the world that causes the actual demons, and most adults are guilty of this kind of projection. Pinch Pinch, poke poke.

Btw: Masturbation is evil too. You are all going to hell you demons. :)

Hey Pie. You actually sound the most sensible here. That equals good. ;)
