    fortune cookie

    How many of you have been disappointed lately with these so-called “fortunes” found in fortune cookies? This isn’t a fortune, it’s more predictive – or insightful. That’s it. Insightful. They should rename these “insightful cookies that teach you how to speak chinese on the back.” And they should have a warning, “Lucky numbers may not be lucky. They’re selected totally at random.” I mean really, if they’re going to take the fortune out of a fortune cookie, how can they claim the numbers are lucky? Well, I suppose they might be lucky to the guy writing the little insightful verse, but who really cares about that?

    Honestly, I thought it was pretty karmic or something that this was in my “Insightful Cookie”. But it kindof stirred the negative emotion in me, you know? Is this insight telling me I’m an artist, or that I’m still an amateur? Why is this thing leaving me hanging? Am I supposed to guess? Is the insight dependent on the recipient having a huge amount of self-esteem, or what? Dang.

    Buggah they just don’t make fortunes like they used to! I don’t think the Chinese are writing them anymore, they are all rich now :yahoo:

    My favorite fortune from a cookie:
    “Make friendships longer lasting. Seal someone in plastic.”

    I think that particular fortune’s purpose is to make you look back and smile at how far you’ve come.

    My favorite fortune: You will buy a new house this year.

    It was right. We did.

    I believe you are already an artist, this fortune cookie was a bust. Might as well get an 8 ball. At least they look funky on a shelf. Go read your horoscope, maybe that will help. I’m going to buy my lotto tickets. I’ll use YOUR lucky numbers (I’ll share if I win, ok?). Thanks for posting them!

    My hubby and I call these “advice cookies”. I much prefer true fortune cookies. BTW, do you ever play the “between the sheets” game? Just add “between the sheets” to the end of your fortune (or insight). Works almost every time.

    LOL! I did not even see this before I read your “fortune”.

    Another way to look at this: You are now a professional and successful. See how far you have come from being an amatuer.

    BTW: now that I have ugly theme on my blog, I only got 1 piece of spam last night. I wonder if there was something going on with that theme.

    My last fortune said I would step on the soil of many countries. I still have it. And you know, you have to add “in bed” at the end of any fortune. 😉 ha ha

    Yeah, they are disappointing.

    I once got one that just said:

    What have you done with your life?
