Hilarious. Schizo Beck sez: If you don't avoid sex outside of marriage,
you'll be killed!

How's that for a psychic reading?

Dear Tom,

Welcome to alt.slack! I wondered when your nosey little mind would
lead you here. What a lying pompous ass you are.

I've done no psychic reading for you or anyone you know and yet, you
take a couple of postings which were not psychic readings, one a
response to your post and one a communication/description of a strong
vision, jam them together.

I bet you know how to make a peanut and jelly sandwich too don't you?
Anyway, a psychic vision is not the same as a Tarot reading. Why
don't you go learn how not to bother people you don't like and then
send "Bob" your $30 -- YOU'RE STILL PINK TO "BOB" TILL HE GETS YOUR
$30 dollars.

Anyway, subgenii have tendencies toward shouting OR KILL ME when they
get excited, so most of them wouldn't give a crap if I had a vision
about someone needing warned so they didn't get killed.

This site and the subgenius embraces the abnormal and to those like
you who sneak about on a personal mission of ambitious nitpicking and
general gay superiority I say, "SHUT UP PINK BOY!"

Buy a damm Bobliographon, a subgenius membership, listen and learn.
Or "Bob" will smoke you in that glorious pipe that is our redemption
and your sister's underpants too.

Thanks for your comment Al. I love green peppers. Especially on
pizza, maybe with some mushrooms. Smelling the aroma of green peppers
on pizza and in Italian sauces is one of the most divine experiences
on the planet.

Welcome to alt.slack! Relax, smoke some frop and try to get that

Be sure to get your fair share of the subgenius paraphernalia and send

Usually the aliens just park the saucer up in the air and send mental
thought waves to take my orders. They are SOOOOO helpful, unlike Tom

Listen man, I appreciate your advice but I just lost my job last week
and I'm trying to start this Tarot card reading business. I'd gladly
do readings on any topic including US presidential candidates, but I
don't have time to make a video advertisement for this start-up
business just yet, I'm too busy sending out resumes and filing
unemployment forms.

Be smart, QUIT YOUR JOB AND SLACK OFF, unlike dumbass me who slaved
away for an evil employer who lied about the pay for 11-1/2 years and
then got fired for continuing to ask them to correct the pay for
11-1/2 years.

I quess that Zmitharas meant the other Pluto, ie. this:
Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld and the judge of the dead.
Pluto was the son of Saturn. Pluto's wife was Proserpina (Greek name,
Persephone) whom he had kidnapped and dragged into the underworld. His
brothers were Jupiter and Neptune. People referred to Pluto as the
rich one because he owned all the wealth in the ground. People were
afraid to say his real name because they were afraid it might attract
his attention. Black sheep were offered to him as sacrifices. Pluto
was known as a pitiless god because if a mortal entered his Underworld
they could never hope to return. Pluto's Greek name is Hades.

I watched you try to fob off your revenge fantasies on Mika in the guise of
some sort of psychic vision you claimed you had. You're a nutjob who can't
tell fantasy from reality.

I'd be happy to share the secret with you. Just ask.

And what you do is neither.

There you go with the "kill" thing again. Every time you get flustered you
start talking about killing.

This story just gets worse and worse. Sexually panicked nutjob retreats the
sticks because she can't handle human interations, has no friends outside a
few very shallow internet associations, is so self-absorbed that even her
own pets die of neglect, and now has lost her only job and can't think of
anything else to do except try to beg money off people by doing "Tarot
readings".

Homer Simpson, star of the American animated TV comedy show ‘The
Simpsons’, has been placed under police protection in his native
Springfield after receiving death threats from an extremist Greek-
nationalist organisation. The threats follow a formal demand from
Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis last week that Mr Simpson
change his first name, pointing out that ‘Homer’ was the name of
Ancient Greece’s greatest poet, the author of The Iliad and The
Odyssey.‘Identity theft is an internationally recognised crime’, Ms
Bakoyannis stated at a press conference in Athens on Friday; ‘millions
of children, all over the world, are growing up believing that Homer
was American. But the real Homer was Greek.’ She added:‘And he was not
yellow and did not have only eight fingers.’ She stressed, however,
that Greece was willing to negotiate a compromise to the name dispute
that would satisfy both parties, and suggested that ‘New Homer’ might
be an appropriate and mutually acceptable name for the Simpsons star.
Ms Bakoyannis’s move builds upon a Greek initiative to ban gay women
worldwide from calling themselves ‘lesbians’, which is the name of the
inhabitants of the Greek island of Lesbos, and upon a successful Greek
action to force Dustin the Turkey, Ireland’s representative in the
Eurovision Song Contest, to drop a reference to ‘Macedonia’ from the
lyrics of his Eurovision entry.
Matt Groening, creator of ‘The Simpsons’, said he was distressed to
learn of the Greek objection to the name of one of his most beloved
characters, pointing out that he had named him after his own father,
who was also called Homer. He also said that every effort had been
made to ensure that his character was faithful to the spirit of the
Greek original, and that, for example, the original Homer portrayed
Odysseus as having said ‘D’oh !’ when half of his crew was eaten by
the cyclops.
Diplomatic efforts to find a solution to the latest Greek-initiated
name dispute are continuing.

Why does everyone think they are the ACLU these days? Especially, why
does the ACLU think it's the ACLU these days because as far as I can
tell they've trampled on more civil liberties than anyone, with teens
asking their parents, "Mom will I get thrown out of school for wearing
my jewish star ear rings or my cross and dove lapel pins?"

Heck, somebody already had that job ACLU, they were called PTA/PTO and
they did pretty good job for a long time.

ACLU used to mean something important to this country. Now ACLU is
just the most important pain in the ass this country has ever seen.

Yeah, and it could be fun and educational in the bargain...
though I have come to wonder how much 'educational' comes into the heads of
others where the term tarot is concerned.

Hmm, I'd guess that either he lied about his birthday or you weren't up on
astrology enough to recognize a May Gemini. Neither one carries a sentence.
:-) But, perhaps a small fine, like a parking ticket.

Seriously, I always thought Scorpio was best at keeping secrets and Taurus
can be very secretive. Your father being a May Gemini (if that is the case)
would rely on the last decante of Taurus as a one third factor in his sun
sign. I never really thought of a Gemini being good at keeping secrets
unless they have other chart placements that would give them that
propensity.

Would like it if you chose to elaborate on that.

Karen, to be honest, I don't understand his language. He said:
Marianna makes a complete
ass of herself with hers.

I know it sounds bad, but can you you tell me exactly what it means?

Yes you were. I am clearly not "dear" to you, yet you used that term while
"flipping the bird", which is an indication of your unpleasant feelings
towards me. Similarly, you were angry with Mika so you predicted her death
and then said you were doing it out of your concern for her safety. You do
that a lot.

Still out of work? Sell any of those silly candles yet? Have you bothered
with the proper disposal of the carcasses of your dead pets?

You're going to hate living under a bridge, but unless you take some steps
to straighten out your totally fucked-up attitudes, that's where you're
going to end up.

These tawdry soap operas are a hoot.

It's like Roseanne Barr's comment on the Jerry Springer-type daytime shows.
She says she watches them because it's always nice to be reminded that there
are people out there who are even more screwed up than she is.

I'm sorry, but you didn't get it. We (i.e the Greeks) don't say It's
all
Greek to me, but we say this :It's all Chinese to me. Do you know why?
Because we speak Greek, we understand Greek, but we don't speak
Chinese,
we don't understand Chinese.

All boys who received a decent education in England a century or two
ago learned Latin, but not all learned Greek, which is a much more
difficult language due to its strange alphabet and many grammatical
irregularities. Hence the popular phrase "it's all Greek to me" to
indicate something too difficult to understand.

Before i filter "Tom" from alt.tarot it should be pointed out that his
"Jerry Springer" comment is just another example of his inability to
consider, even hypothetically, a value to anything that differs from his
notions of acceptable value.

Much like his dismissal of the tabula rasa & particularist fallacies,
"Tom" consistently fails to do his research, and just makes
pronouncements based on his own ignorant prejudices.

"Fortune telling" divination, oracles have a long history, they fulfill
a need, granted so do the latest fashions in cars and clothes and food,
and it may be argued that the 'need' is superficial and especially in
the modern west more a form of entertainment than anything to be taken
seriously, but at the same time, 'tarot readings' are just one aspect of
alternative consciousness that is being studied under a number of new
terms such as 'neurophysiology.'

A querant who's blubbering about how her ex threw out her Tarot deck in
response to an offer of a Tarot reading from a person who is blubbering
about how she got fired, has no friends outside of Usenet, and can't even
get it together to keep her pets alive is a tawdry soap opera no matter what
values you have.

You want me to read the entire Platonic dialogue "Cratylus?" Maybe
some other time. As it happens, I've read almost all the dialogues
of Plato, other than the "Republic" from which I've read only excerpts.

Nice quotes. I agree with most of them. I especially liked "Greek is
the violin of human thought." I'd love to be able to read Greek, but
I'm still trying to gain a reading knowledge of Latin, and
struggling with it -- I don't have a memory for languages. Greek is
beyond me, I'm afraid. Lucky for me that all the great Greek texts
have been translated into English.

So on top of all your other idiosyncrasies your a snob as well, im not
surprised.

It seems like a wasted effort to me though, to be a snob and have such a
low brow taste that you would use Roseanne and Springer to support your
snobbery is on a par with the rest of your rather elaborate, dubious &
generally flawed attempts at ratiocination.

I recently saw a show about Homer Simpson, the one where he got a
better job outside of Springfield and everything was "perfect" except
Lisa got allergic to everything, Bart got put in a remedial class
which was a huge disappointment to him and Marge ran out of things to
do because their new house was so perfect. Danny Bonaducci was
Homer's new motivational friendly boss (albeit bent on nuclear war and
espionage). If you get a chance, its worth the watch.

Pet's who die of old age in their teens are neither neglected nor
apparently within your scope of understanding. How funny you think I
don't have real friends, I can't imagine anyone wanting to spend even
30 seconds in your presence.

As for losing my job, you ass wipe, if you haven't heard of corporate
corruption and criminal lying employers (remember Enron and
World.com?) you much too far behind to make any reasonable analysis
about the status of my employ.

You have no beef with me, real or imagined, but your behavior towards
humans suggests you torture puppies in your free time, that's not
good. PETA studies have shown that people that are cruel to animals
are more likely to commit crimes against humans -- read that, if you
kill animals, you're more likely to kill people.

Get some help, your obsession with hurting me belies serious problems.

a lot of people think Tarot is/has to be witchcraft related, but the
witchcraft behavior warned about in Bible times was particularly over
their tendency to kill people and read the entrails of their bowels to
make predictions. Tarot cards don't even show up in history until
1349, thousands of years after the outlaw of fortune telling so its
not really about the same things.

I've actually had visions of Jesus inventing and using the cards to
help people "stay out of each others' guts"... Believe me, I wouldn't
have pursued them this long if he hadn't shown me those visions...

Well, seriously, I've always known the date of his birth, always
remembered his birthday with cards and gifts and occasionally checked
his horoscope in the newspapers as folks do sometimes. Maybe I
checked for his sign one time, got it wrong and never checked again,
but I'm pretty sure most newspapers list the dates of births for the
signs... seriously, I always thought he was a Taurus from my original
looking it up until my brother made him a myspace page and I saw that
it said he was a Gemini. It was a real shocker.

Well I'm not an astrologist, but a lot of the stuff I do know is from
just casually looking things up over the years, like the 3 worst signs
(incompatible signs) for Libras are Capricorn, Cancer and Scorpio (all
of which I've had doomed relationships with), learned too little too
late, despite my valiant efforts over the years.

Taurus is real close to his sign of Gemini in the zodiac..., Maybe I
just somehow believed what my mom said about my dad being full of BS
(ha, ha, taurus the bull) ... or maybe he got a buy 1 get 1 free
zodiac sign or something.

Hi "rjpl"!

I feel your pain. It's amazing how many people who normally would not
show any interest in you whatsoever suddenly feel a need to throw out
a woman's tarot deck. It's worse with people you're close to who
think they have to control you. For instance, read some of the
postings "Tom" has made in this topic and others about myself. He's
been obsessing since my first posting at alt.magick, has followed me
into alt.slack and now alt.tarot. I appreciate anyone who can trying
to distract him or explain why he needs to back off.

That being said, normally I would just do a free reading for you, but
I've become unemployed this month and so I've got to do some paid
readings until further notice. I do know of a website that does free
readings though. I'll send you a referral.

Good luck.

Many Tarot cards have the letters of the Hebrew alphabet which has a
few similarities to the Greek Aleph being the letter "A" in Hebrew and
Alpha the Greek and so on. Tarot cards can be used to spell out
Hebrew words. It's fun to pull out a Hebrew dictionary, look up a
word and then see what Tarot cards they contain. Many times you can
"see the story" in a word.

Multiple pets dying at the same time is not likely to be due to old age.

It's quite common for fuck-ups like you to try to blame their personal

I never had such a vision but I also don't believe tarot cards are
witchcraft. They are a tool. I find all concepts of life contained in them
which could include both Christian and witchcraft. Mostly, they are a
mirror of life, the history of life, the future of life, and the terms and
conditions of life.

Karen, to be honest, I don't understand his language. He said:
Marianna makes a complete
ass of herself with hers.

I think he is saying that while most people get really passionate about
their chosen myths...you carry it to extremes but, I'm probably wrong.
Truth is, only he can know exactly what is on his mind. He might feel that
they are not topical enough.?

I know it sounds bad, but can you you tell me exactly what it means?

Well, seriously, I've always known the date of his birth, always
remembered his birthday with cards and gifts and occasionally checked
his horoscope in the newspapers as folks do sometimes. Maybe I
checked for his sign one time, got it wrong and never checked again,
but I'm pretty sure most newspapers list the dates of births for the
signs... seriously, I always thought he was a Taurus from my original
looking it up until my brother made him a myspace page and I saw that
it said he was a Gemini. It was a real shocker.

Ok, so, if you don't mind saying...is his birthday in May or June? You know
about the decantes?

Well I'm not an astrologist,

Lol, I have known people that would hiss at that...they would tell you right
quick that it's 'astrologer'!

but a lot of the stuff I do know is from
just casually looking things up over the years, like the 3 worst signs
(incompatible signs) for Libras are Capricorn, Cancer and Scorpio (all
of which I've had doomed relationships with), learned too little too
late, despite my valiant efforts over the years.

Different things said at different places leads to a lot of confusion among
even the best students of relative matters. I'd always thought that the
worst sign to team with Libra was Aries. So, I take it you are a Libra? My
friend of years past...shhh, the one that would get torn up about
astrologist...used to say that Libra is the sign of love and war and that
librans are perpetually in a state of rebalancing. Slightly altered take
than the textbooks but not without interesting points.

Taurus is real close to his sign of Gemini in the zodiac..., Maybe I
just somehow believed what my mom said about my dad being full of BS

By name, R. J. Plein is a Dick. Intuitively, BB is a she. As of May
26th life for BB is very chaotic and tramatic. Hopefully this Death
card reading will help and will offer spiritual guidance and look at the
best outer manifestation of BB's being. Scary as it may be, BB gets out
of an unproductive situation and has the chance to begin anew without
all of BB's old issues to hamper BB. Santa Shaman says, "Live each day
consciously - that is, live each day as fully as possible, incorporating
your spiritual values into your daily activities. The end of a long
year can come with a messy thaw. Avoid floating away and enjoy the
warming trend. You move into new situations where you relish your
renewed sense of self.

Thank you very much for the reading. I found it both accurate and
entertaining. It brought out points that I had not previously focused on.

The two do seem to entertwine a lot. However, there are many things of the
mind/psyche that I desire to see some manifestation of or to let go of.
Hate to feel like the lines of a song that goes, "I've done held on 'til I
can't turn loose."

You are self directed.

That is very close but not quite exact, as I perceive things which could
mean that you see more clearly than I do. It wasn't the seeking of solitude
so much as failures and health concerns.

Hmm, a polite way of saying bonkers??? And I guess my friends would have to
be just as out there! Lol Seriously, there is truth to this and I hope
you're right.

> Material ambition accompanies an urge to attain spiritual enlightenment.

Yes, neither one is satisfactory without the other. The more valuable of
the two is the spiritual, though. By that I mean to say that if one is
spiritually attuned there is little concern for anything beyond basic needs
but no amount of material can fill the void of no spiritual moorings.

I think that is contingent on the nature of the criticism. To use jk as a
good example...his criticism while uncomfortable did serve to sharpen my
response. Taken to extremes or bound to pettiness can cause more harm than
good but criticism, of itself, can be helpful. But, I don't think you were
referring to 'constructive criticism'.

> You have self-assurance and a place in the world. You might think you

I guess ego jumps up to shout I'm right or I told you so but, in truth, I am
also critically aware of my mistakes and the things I do that can impact
others negatively. Doesn't prevent me from making dumb mistakes but it
does, (hopefully and at best) cause me to be a little more of the good
things thereafter.

Enjoy the recognition

I do totally agree and thank you again for the reading.

JK Rowling started the Harry Potter series while an unwed mother on

obviously you drop your comments like puppy crap, except a puppy might
go back and look again at what he's done and might draw the conclusion
that he's dropped a lot of crap around -- not you though, you keep
moving somehow believing that if you don't look at the hateful crap
you're dumping on me, somehow it isn't really crap...

It's obvious you're already mentally challened and obsessed; however,
I will challenge you once more -- STOP! Can he do it? Can he rise to
the challenge and not press reply when he sees my name? If he can do
it, it'll be one for the history books folks... where's Howard Coselle

sure, I'll go along with that, I mean people are the ones who make
anything evil, it's not the cards or the Bible or anything else. One
person, might read the Bible and become a Mother Theresa, another
person might use it to tear off page by page for toilet paper and
another might use it as armor for the chest to deflect bullets...

I really love art and history and the nonviolent and lawful things
about religion so I find a lot of good things in the tarot.

I'll just make a small comment here, when you're talking celebrities,
Roseanne actually has her act together on most levels --

the poor, sweet, late Anna Nicole Smith, on the other hand -- my word,
how can someone so rich have her life in such a mess? God bless her
memory, may she rest in peace.

Tom apparently gets his rocks off putting everybody down, he'd like to

believe it or not, I personally believe there are some men (albeit
rich, successful and wise men) who actually compete to see whose ex-
wife(ves) drive the nicest cars, have the nicest homes, etc. You're
obviously not classy enough to even consider that Tom.

especially when there's been a lot of mudslinging and arrows
flying... thanks.

The analogy of J. K. Rowling to yourself is more than a little strained. Do
you figure your candle sales (or lack thereof) are going to make you world
famous?

Puppies? Your pets are dead, remember? They died just before you got
fired.

Ah, those mental challens.

Hilarious. An attempt at guile. How challening.

"Tom" is infamous for holding his crap up as an example of his intelligence.

"The two main political parties ruled alternately as if by tacit
agreement. Politically they were practically indistinguishable (one
perhaps a shade more liberal) but in both camps supporters were more
swayed by personalities than by issues. Both parties were heavily
dependent on the large industrial conglomerates. Corruption was
widespread, the conglomerates dictated economic policy, and with few
outstanding exceptions, politicians' reputations were low."

First, you imagine an analogy that is not there, must be your desire
for all things "anal" that brought that one to mind for you.

Second, some people don't set their sights on fame or other illusions
like you have been trying to create about me. Fact is, it's darn
suspicious that you immediately started in on me the moment I entered
alt.magick and have not let up...

unless you are my thieving, lying slob of an ex-boyfriend named Tom
you need to find a therapist who can explain to you the true danger to
yourself and others that you are becoming by continuing to believe
your fixation on myself is normal or socially acceptable.

If you are my thieving, lying, slob of an ex-boyfriend named Tom, you
are close to being criminally insane and you need to get help before
no one can stand you anymore.

I have made myself clear. Cease and desist further communication with
myself.

Heh. Becky, you are about the most pathetic nutball ever to slouch through
these hallowed imaginary halls. Everything new you tell us about yourself
makes you look even worse.

Out of work, living alone in the woods because the stress of living near
people is intolerable, all your pets dead, got yourself fired and can't even
figure out why, festering with self-hatred and frustrated sexuality, and you
think *somebody else* should find a therapist...

At least she doesn't have issues with expressing anger. :)

Becky - there was a 'tell' there. Do me a favour? Picture the figure
of your mum for a second. If she's more important than anyone else
then make her really large. Then picture yourself standing by your
mum. What size are you? Now adjust the picture and make both of you
exactly the same size. Can you do it? How do your feel when you do?
