I got the best fortune cookie fortune ever.

[xiphias]

I got lunch at our favorite American-style Chinese restaurant (you know what I mean -- not like what copperpoint is eating these days, and also not what you get in "Polynesian-Chinese" restaurants), and I got the best fortune cookie EVER at the end of it. Better than the one my sister got that one time, "You are not paranoid; we ARE out to get you."

It said, "You are about to become $8.95 poorer ($6.95 if you got the buffet)."

In bed.

On fire, with a duck?

[nolly.livejournal.com]

With a spoon.

[brooksmoses]

Why a spoon? Why not an axe, or...?

[cheshyre]

Why a duck? Why-a not a chicken?

[brooksmoses]

Because ducks are sinister.

very funny - who wrote this song, and who is singing?

[brooksmoses]

My understanding, from this blog post by Neil Gaiman where I originally found the song, is that it was written by Translucia Babboon (who is currently residing in the body of Alan Moore).

Thanks for sending the links. I didn't know that Alan Moore wrote V for Vendetta. I enjoyed reading his bio and about his interactions with the film industry. Things can certainly get strange when people are more interested in the money than the art.

That's a waltz, not a march.

[brooksmoses]

Well, you never know, with ducks....

With a chainsaw.

My worst ever was: "Beware of friends, who will betray you."

This was at a catered lunch during trainig for a job I was fired from a week later.

It's the comma that makes it so terrible.

[nolly.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[brooksmoses]

Ouch, indeed!

I should mention that the training was the first week -- this job lasted a mere two weeks -- and then I got two weeks severance. Which, ultimately, is better than the people who stuck around until the company imploded.

may I have it? please... for my weird fortune cookie fortunes collection.

That's great... unlike the rest of your friends there's not much I can add.
