Bizarot
by So at the Shop Rite in Wharton, after having just return the cart...
I turn in the direction of the car but, here is a woman running towards me yelling "Excuse me ma'am, excuse me", naturally I stop.
The woman is holding out her hand, so I assume I must have dropped something. now having my full attention, she goes on to say "You NEED to call me" *hands me a white card*.
The look on her face FREAKED me out! Obviously I DID NOT know this woman. In order not to be rude as well as escape from what was quickly becoming the MOST bizare experience of the day...
Took the card, thanked her ,*glanced down at it*, thanked her again to which she responded "There's somethings you should know, you NEED to call me" waited for her to dissapear from eyesight and continued to the car.
Of two people with me one immediately asked, "What was that?", to which I replied by ripping the card in two and crumpling it in my hand.
The card said Tarot Readings....
This is one of the most bizare experiences I've ever had. Mine would dull in comparison to those of others, however the following immediately entered my mind:
The whole technique behind this woman's marketing was so unsettling I wondered if she was actually TOUCHED or whether she was just odd and desperate to boost business.

oh my goodness, that is CREEPY...
whaaatttt, thats crazy, It would have been funny if you acted weird back to her and was like.. Cheeseybread? Did that cart say cheeseybread,Cause the sky is pink. and see what she would have said.
hahaha, you weirdo!
By the way, that rhymed. "cheesybread" rhymes with "said".
Maybe, Livy, you could have flustered this demo-woman with elegant poetry.
"Back you vile fiend, before I recite Silverstein". (and that in itself is a rhyme.)

if you have to dry the dishes
(such an awful boring chore)
if you have to dry the dishes
('stead of going to the store)
if you have to dry the dishes and you drop one on the floor
maybe they won't let you
dry the dishes anymore.
so great! It's a great fortune-teller repellant
i always liked:
"I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
'I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more-- that's seventeen,
And don't you think that my face looks green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wreched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my spine is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say that today is... Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"
classic! I loved the illustrations, too!
i still hear my eight year old self reading this aloud. its got a great rhythm.
i got an idea. please stop overusing italics, captials, bold, and carriage returns. separate into paragraphs, and then thank me when you're done. :)
heres an idea... drink milk... and thank me when YOU'RE done.
aw, stop with the hate....i like her italicized words. she gets her point across with the emphasis on the right words.
well done chica!
Aw SHUT DOWN, see I am sweet squishy but people just know
DAN HILL is a PUNK! No sympathy for you...*nods in general direction of 'supastar & socal*
how come i only see plain font?
that is totally creepy! its like they know you're a witness or something and totally single you out.
yeah, that's the feeling I got, too!
Just happened to be discussing what happened with someone that had been there...they said as they were coming out of the Shop Rite this woman almost knocked them over on her way in my direction. :-/
eek that is highly disturbing.

gypsies are ususally pretty hot. I hate people that generalize.

yeah, after pinpointing your gheyity and turning you DOWN! OH!
i think this is why the society has never suggested this method as effective in parking lot witnessing
i want to use Ruthie's line, "would you like to read a message from the future?" that'll place almost ANY set of magazines.
