The Fortuneless Fortune - Nubblies.net Forums

tonguegina · 09-24-2004, 10:12 PM

I've never thought too much of fortunes. They only exist to either put things into perspective or give the pessimists, such as myself, a bit of optimism. Or do they...

I suppose if people believed in fate, then they would have to believe in what fortune cookies have to say. These cookies could go to anyone, but fate delived it to me. It's a good think I don't believe in fate either.

As I was finishing my Asian Creations this evening, it came time for the best part of the meal...the fortune cookie. I crack the puppy open, expecting to find a laugh. What do I find? Nothing. 'Gaz as my witness, there was no fortune in this cookie.

Now, if I did believe in fate or fortune, what would this indicate? I believe that it does not mean death. If death were my fortune, then my fortune would be something to the tune of "You've had a good life." No, I believe that it means that the Gods or Fates or what-have-you have decided to ignore my pathetic existance. They no longer take my life into account on things. It's a good thing I don't put any stock into fortunes. What do you kids think?

Well, I'd say with no fortune, you're in control of your own fate. Congratulations, you've got full say over what happens in your life.

Orgazmo · 09-25-2004, 03:35 AM

Bullshit.

If you were in charge of your own fate, there would have been a pencil and a blank sheet of paper inside.

I think it means you have no soul.

tonguegina · 09-25-2004, 03:40 AM

Noted.

No soul, huh? Has my sould left me? I've gotten them before.

------------------------
VOL Dumb-down:

Yeah, I haven't done one of these in a while. Basically I want 'gaz to go into further detail on his response.

farawayfromhere · 09-25-2004, 12:41 PM

I think I believe in fate. I'm not exactly set in my ways, but when I think about it, if I were to get an empty fortune cookie, I would, well I would think like 'gaz does. No soul. There's nothing left. Nothing is bound to happen. Your soul has no place with fate's business, no plan for you. Like you said, ignoring your being, at least for now. But then again this is all based upon the notion that I think I believe in fate, not that it is honestly real. I mean, lets say you and I went out for dinner, both recieved fortune cookies, I can almost guarantee that you would have a fortune, but then again, if you didnt, then I would most definatly believe in fate. There's my two cents.

I think they just missed putting a pice of paper into a cookie and that your reading to far into it.

Schroeder · 09-25-2004, 10:31 PM

No news is good news?

cough man · 09-26-2004, 04:12 AM

Personally I agree with 'Gaz, no soul, basically you don't exist, and are just an empty shell that everyone assumes to be a real, living breathing, human being. Or it could be a sign from the Oracle and you are in The Matrix...

underwater · 09-26-2004, 04:53 AM

uhhh yeah.

some dumb chinese guy... wait. let me start over.

some dumb white guy working at a chinese restaurent just missed your cookie on the conveyer belt thing, tonguegina. hate to break it to ya.

'this place is still going' and underwater, you are fucking idiots. For fuck's sake, don't take life (especially fucking Nubblies) so fucking seriously. God. This thread was made to take a humorous look at an unusual situation. Jesus Christ. Loosen up. "You shouldn't take life so seriously. You'll never get out alive."

VOL Dumb-down:

'this place is still going' and underwater need to chill. I'm glad those were only their 7th and 781st posts, respectively so that I can feel good in knowing that I haven't wasted too much of my time reading the posts of these insignificant pubes.

farawayfromhere · 09-26-2004, 09:46 AM

See I completely agree with tonguegina on this one. Its threads like this one, and the ones mostly created by the elite that make this site worth checking out. The ones that are real converstaion starters, the ones that are really interesting when you sit back and think about the topic. Thats why some of the people think nubblies is 'dieing' because people dont go with the flow and post intelligent and thought out replies which then cause the thread to die out. Now I may not have been on nubblies as long as many people or have as many posts under my belt as some but I like to think that most of what I do say (or write or what-have-you) is worth being said and heard. So if what you have to say isnt going to contribute to the thread, then just dont reply.

And Stab- will you get off the bet. No ones gonna get any!

i think you're the one taking it too seriously.. i know it may be hard to believe, but i actually do joke around from time to time.

Orgazmo · 09-26-2004, 04:02 PM

Vampires don't have souls.

They also don't have reflections.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the two correlate...but you never know.

Tongue, do you have a reflection?
