Fortune Cookie of the Damned


Archive of the Fortune Cookie of the Damned feature:

VOL. I: April 30, 2011 —  A real fortune I got the day my wife was shopping for a car. Upshots: (1) My wife bought the car; (2) my search for a randomly dispensed after-dinner snack with the accurate gift of prophesy continues. (Original post is here.)

VOL. II: May 12, 2011  — The kind of fortune that, as Kenneth Burke might say (not really), suggests the pursuit of calm implies the existence of panic, as the existence of division is suggested by the pursuit of identification. And the Kenneth Burke haunting of stupid me begins in 3 … 2 … 1 … Also: nerdgasm. (Original post [Douglas Adams reference and all!] is here.)

VOL. III: June 30, 2011 — After a nice meal, I always enjoy being reminded about the estimated progress of my own grand march toward death. (Original post pimping the judging of the 2011 fortune contest is here.)

VOL. IV: Dec. 20, 2011 — This fortune would have been more useful to me circa 1990. (Original post is here.)

VOL. V: Jan. 17, 2012 — Sometimes they work in pairs. (Original post is here.)
