Occult pre-game rituals

[n1997y]

What you left out was what happened when you threw the water on her. If you showered with her, that's another matter entirely (especially with your shoes on).

It’s obvious I need to perform much more research. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. Where’s that shower?

At first thought it was crazy but kept doing it because they kept winning.
Imagine tracing all the major decisions humanity has made over the eons based on confusion between correlation and causation. Wow.
My ritualistic seating posture at the beginning of the second half of each game is legit, however.

Taking a besotted fourth-quarter leak during Super Bowl XLIX I whispered an earnest prayer for Patriots victory. Malcolm Butler answered it, apparently at the Lord's behest. So there's that. (I've kept this story to myself for 11 years.)

To each his own, there are some people who go to church every Sunday. Even in the off season.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Uhh. Yeah. Don't be like Brady and sell your soul for worldly things folks.

Woof. Germans and occultism can be a.... rough mix... sometimes... (yes I know she is from Brazil but she is clearly German-Brazilian).

Right. But Gisele is more "white witch pagan/new-agey" vs. bona fide occult, which is darker stuff the Nazis purportedly dabbled in. Good German goth/pagan/medieval/darkwave rock and black-metal bands abound as one example of this stuff historically associated with Teutonic culture.

Where do you think Giselle ranks on the "hot crazy scale?"

 

[n1997y]

What do you think Giselle ranks on the "hot crazy scale?"

As a RHAB (red head assigned at birth) I take umbrage on behalf of my similarly pigmented female counterparts over them being singled out as the first discussed in the Danger Zone. To paraphrase Jessica Rabbit, we aren’t crazy we’re just drawn that way.

Regarding Giselle, I think she is easily beneath the Crazy Line, pending confirmation by personal evaluation.

I first saw this years ago, always loved that he wears a sidearm and looks like an accountant. What he left out is how to handle one that turns 8-10 crazy after you put a ring on her.

Women weren't invented until 1769?!

God, it must have been such a Greek Paradise.

They were indeed invented in 1769. Three hundred years later, there arose a growing suspicion that they do not exist, that they are a fabrication of the paleface patriarchy, contrived solely for the purposes of housework and sexual utility. Over recent years, this suspicion that women do not actually exist has been confirmed to the (quite rabid) satisfaction of many. This generates surprisingly little cognitive dissonance in the "transgender community" since if they wish to remain ideologically au courant, they must affirm their right to be that which does not exist. It seems, if only based on the fact that we are so regularly disparaged, that men DO exist (unless we are a figment of non-existent women's imaginations). If one were to yield to customary logic, this would mean that all human beings are men, except for those who insist on their right to be that which does not exist.

As much of a knuckledragger as it might make me seem, I say men and women are two actual and actually quite different variants of human being, and that, for example, because we have radically different and very powerful hormones continually bathing our brains, we think differently, even (ready the hot tar and wooden fence rail) that we have different aptitudes.

Here's a little snippet from my old Phil 101 lecture notes: A lot of these problems arise out of a confusion of "same" and "equal." Men and women are not the same, but we are equal. Isn't that a lot simpler? Ditto for the races, by the way, just to complete my work of alienating absolutely everyone.

Nicely wordsmithed, apart from one minor missed opportunity for a better choice of words, which I have corrected above.

There are a couple of your statements with which I wish to quibble however.

First: Men only exist as a figment of our own imagination, according to Descartes. “Cogito, ergo sum.” I think his observation dovetails nicely with your erudite exposition. So, neither women nor men exist except as imaginary beings. QED.

Second: Arguably the hormones bathing men’s brains cause the biggest difference to be the actual existence of thought. It is widely known that men thinking with their “little head” is a code phrase for not thinking at all.

Feel free to incorporate anything I’ve suggested as improvements in your future drafts. Responding to reviews does not constitute plagiarism. You’re welcome.

When I was in the Army, in basic, they let us go to religious services on Sunday mornings. I'm not a very religious guy, but decided to join the Wicca group one time. There were like four people, all from New England of course. I don't remember much about what happened...but they had cookies, and that was cool.

Seriously though, that doesn't surprise me about TFB at all. Dude was about the competitive edge, so stands to reason he'd turn over the supernatural stone too while he was at it. Hard to argue with the results I guess...

But the Cards have easy access to Sedona, probably one of the most "spirit-y" places around, and I don't think it's been helping. It got Vrabel laid though, so there's that.

Talking about the Cards and Sedona got me thinking about the flip side. Do you think there’d be any benefit from the Niners performing an exorcism on the power station, or maybe their practice field?

Electromagnetic radiation from power plants really is a "thing," depending on what studies one puts stock in. I wouldn't want to live near one or any of these new AI data centers springing up.

Probably wouldn't hurt them at this point.

Tell me about it. For some reason, people are getting the bright idea to put hundreds of water-consuming data centers in the most water-starved state in the US. Gotta go ask AI now how to solve this problem. I'm sure it'll help.

Um, are billionaires people? Politicians at the local level are easily bought and silenced with NDAs. I think AI will have the honest repsonse.
