"Where are you, Haggis, my little oogyscrote" has a delightful ring to it, no?

Nuh-uh, I don't think so. If I have my Scottishish right, "wame" means "womb," and I ain't got one of those.

attn Ambrosia and Angie:
You can do what I did: turn off "display avatars" in your User CPs, under "options." I did this 2 weeks ago, thanks to a tip from Medi. I also switched off "images." Now all I see on the screen is text, making it much easier to read through threads. Of course I do miss out on some neat graphics from time to time, like Haggis' which sounds like a real beaut, judgin' by the adverse reaction to it :-) |

Removing the family curse...
Quote:
Besides, if I was gonna do that I would have done it ages ago when Angie changed her avvie. It causes me to shiver every time I see it. ![]() Alright, you evil little pup. I did some research and found out that a curse is only valid as long as you believe in it. So stop believing in it already! To aid in your journey from belief to non-belief, go down to your local head shop. What do you mean they don't have those anymore? *sigh* Ok, go to your local health food store. Buy a bundle of sage. Take it home. Open a window to let the bad stuff out. (The instructions on this cleansing ritual says to let the evil out, but I am thinking it is probably to keep from suffocating on the smoke from the sage.) Light the end of the smudging bundle of sage, start at the front door, proceed in a clockwise fashion around the entire house, waving this smoke over every person and animal and place you think you need it, until you have covered the entire place and return to the front door. Ummmm... thinking on it you might need to turn off those smoke detectors before you start this ritual. Just remember to turn them back on once you finish! There are some minor words to say as you walk around the house but I am sure that varies from religion to religion so I would just create your own, since you already know it is your belief in this nonsense that is your real curse. Oh, be sure to snuff out the sage bundle in a properly purified sage snuffing out bowl (or clean ashtray) when you finish your circle of the house. Otherwise you might accidently burn your house down, again confirming the belief you are cursed. There. I did it. Now it is your turn, Haggis. Change that avvie!

I remain unconvinced.

DEFIANTLY?! That sounds a tad more than just unconvinced.
I offer a bribe of ultra premium dog food; you say you are cursed. I find a way to remove the curse; you say you are unconvinced. It is the defiant front leg crossing that really gets me, though. What will it take, Haggis? What do you want? And pick that white glove up off the ground. That is no way to behave. Bad boy!

Very well, Ambrosia. You've shamed me into making a change.
Purdy, ain't I?

Oh, definitely. Good compromise. All those little hearts swirling around the evil wickedness really soften it a lot, I think.
