Fortune cookie quotes

Unread postby midnight-gamer » Mon 03 Sep 2007, 23:30:02

My wife and I had chinese food today. Now have any of you ever opened a fortune cookie to find something relevant? I ate dinner, finished a school exam for my electronics course. Then thought about relaxing with a video game.
Before the video games my wife called me into the bedroom. she was spread out on the bed in her underwear, wanting a back rub. No way was I going to get to that game at that point.
Anyhow, I later remembered the fortune cookies with my meal. I cracked open two of them. The first read.
Your problem just got bigger. Think, what have you done?
. The second,
Avoid the opposite sex today. Yeah,right!

I thought the fortunes were rather fitting.

Your name is very appropriate. "In modern Hebrew the word golem literally means 'cocoon', but can also mean "fool", "silly", or even "stupid". :P

I picked it quite intentionally ...

Its ironic that someone who is anti-semitic would pick a Hebrew word for his name that turns out to mean "stupid."

Sorry you can't see the humor in an anti-semite picking the Hebrew word for "stupid" for his on-line identity. :P

The meaning of words and names isn't drivel. As someone interested in archetypes and mythology, you should know that names often provide deep insights into the character of the person so named. Imagine the insights about your character that can be gleaned from that fact that you picked a name that means "stupid" and "fool"... :roll:

Damn, that was one of the quickest threadjacks I've ever seen! The plane hadn't even left the gate yet!

Back on topic: I got what I think was the ultimate fortune a couple of years ago:

"God will give you everything you want."

Unfortunately, so far, it's been true.

Oh, cut the crap kids or get a room.

As to the topic:

This one is stuck in my Sons Boot Camp photo from a cookie I cracked open at the dinner we had just before he left for Iraq:

Good news will come to you from far away.

The only one I ever saved and it was correct.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.
