Voo Doo Curses

Okay...those of you who know me well, know that I have a somewhat warped sense of humor. And I know for a fact, that some of you share that same attribute. So I found this web site to be a total hoot. But for those of you who are easily spooked...this may not be your cup of tea. This site is called Pinstruck.com http://www.pinstruck.com/whatispinstruck.htm and it "allows people like yourself to vent on their friends and enemies by sending them personalized voodoo curses via e-mail. Do you have a lot of people on your nasty list? Let PinStruck.com help you get revenge on those unfortunate folks in a completely passive aggressive and anonymous fashion."

There are disclaimers of course, that it is all done in good fun and is not real. But some people are just paranoid and do not appreciate this kind of dark humor. And then there are those who go one step further and REALLY get hacked off about it. These folks then send the company some rather choice feedback. And THAT my friends, is the funniest part of this site. You MUST go to the 'Victim Feedback' page and read...absolutely hilarious. But here again, there are warnings of strong language if that offends, because there are some people who will find NO humor in it at all. I however, laughed and laughed while reading through the feedback. And I thought long and hard about which one of you I was going to send one to...ha ha! But just in case it might have actually scared someone or made them upset...I excercised restraint. Hard as that was!

But my curiousity did get the better of me, and I wanted to know what it looked like...so I sent one to myself so I could check it out. I personally think it is super cute and very funny. A little Wendy Voo Doll with pins stuck in it and my curse on a note. How clever! But then again, I am weird and have a dark sense of humor. And I also believe it's all in good fun...but what do you think? Would you send any out? At least check out the website to see what it's about, and go read the 'Victim Feedback' section to give yourself a good laugh for the day.

AWESOME! Y'know, I may just have to send this to a couple of folks I know. I assume this is completely anonymous when it goes to the "victim"?

Oh, I SO wanted to send it to one person in particular. And not even an enemy at all, but a friend of mine who is easily spooked and a little paranoid. Aren't I mean? I would have told him it was just me afterwards...but I would have loved to see his response. And YES, it is completely anonymous. So it leaves people to start wondering who would have sent it. Go read the Victim Feedback though...I laughed till I was in tears because some of those folks were so mad and so FREAKED OUT about it! Why oh why can't the whole world share my warped sense of humor?!

I know of at least one person who REALLY deserves a good cursin'! I also think this may be a nice thing to do to anyone who sends me those annoying chain e-mails!

Sadly my own website dubbed "Knife to the Eye" went over about as well as my eggnog. Several mysterious government agencies and at least a dozen radical religious groups sent me some rather darkly-worded phone calls.

But to Jeremy, the fellow in Nebraska who thinks his dolls talk to him and happened to enjoy my page, a little too much... you need help.

The D-household would be honored however to receive a voodoo curse from a good witch like you. It's all in good fun... isn't it?

Ha Ha Ha! First, I do agree with Dave that reprisals are fair game and chain letter senders absolutely warrant a curse in return...ha ha! And Dustwitch, I am sorry to hear that your 'Knife to the Eye' venture didn't pan out for you. It sounds like a fine, upstanding and perfectly respectable site to me. I would have used it! Some people just have NO sense of humor! I'm off to send you all a curse RIGHT NOW! Only you can understand and apprecitate my dark humor...ha ha! Thanks for stopping by my dear friend! :o)

This is right up my
alley!
I LOVE this!
Who can I send one
to right now???
Wouldn't it be funny if
I sent one to my husband
in the mail?!
I'm cracking up just thinking
about it!
It's all in good fun of course
and I would never curse him
with voo-doo, but wouldn't it
be funny all the same???
Hee, hee!
I crack myself up!
Poor Marcus!

Okay...I just sent one to myself.
I can't wait to see it!!!

I didn't read all the way through before and thought you'd receive an actual voo-doo doll in the mail! That's what I'd like to really do to Marcus! He'd be all confused and wonder why he was getting that crazy lookin' thing and probably wouldn't suspect me at all as the one who sent it!

Ha!

Ha Ha...Lisa...you MUST send one to Marc. Pick a message like, "you'll be sorry" or something and don't mention it to him. See if he tells you he got one. Then act all concerned and have him go through his friends and try to see who he thinks it could be. Tell him how VERY serious it is and that someone is OBVIOUSLY out to get him. You know how 'spooky' he is...he'll be so scared. Ha Ha...he is the perfect target for us to do this too. I'm laughing just thinking about it! You gotta do it! :o)

I'm laughing out loud at this moment in time! You just cracked me up!

Marcus is the perfect culprit and it must be done. Maybe tonight!
