If it was that easy, the test would be finished by now. 
I have to wonder what would have gone through your mind had you started to float out. Clearing the mind alone in silence is one thing, but keeping it clear while you feel like you’re flying away is quite another, and that’s what I’ve been having difficulty with.
Uh…what? Did you just say something?
Although I employed no psychic powers to deduce Jess’s gender, I believe my intuitive powers to be reliable here. I am glad you are a faithful flirt.
Sylvia Brown, get ready for some stiff competition, because I know what this man’s thinking!!!:o
The Great Unwashed, I’m sorry to succumb to the irrestistable urge to flirt again. I know it offends your scientific sensibilities. I am alas, a weak woman. But glee is just so darn cute and uh…it’s hard to know what else to do when you’re waiting for someone to Astraly Project. There is no previous scientific protocol for “AP watching” that I know of. I considered a rousing game of cards, but it just doesn’t have the same lure.
I’m not a psychic and I don’t play one on TV, but I thought “Wot th’ hell” and, after massaging my temples and thinking psychic thoughts, I tried to astral project. Here’s what I came up with.
- The Ark of the Covenant. (not a replica…the real thing). It’s pretty big and takes up a lot of the desk.
- The egg of the phoenix.
- Two books by L. Frank Baum from a parallel universe (“The Silver Sorceress of Oz” and “Queen Zixi in Oz”)
4) A pair of lacy women’s garters with a note “Thanks for a GLEEful night!
Love, Gypsy Rose” (this one)
- A dried, dessicated “Bigfoot” foot. Or a wookie foot. It’s huge, hairy and has toes.
- A blob of what looks like Silly Putty…but clearly is Flubber (the Fred MacMurray kind, not the Robin Williams kind)
- A chunk of Red Kryptonite (note that without a Kryptonian present, I’m unable to determine what random effect it will have on them. But the effect will only last 24 hours.)
- 2 “bobble-head” statues: one of Jerry Lewis and one of Carrottop.
- A CD–“The Partridge Family Sings The Archie’s Greatest Hits!”
- A small fishbowl–with no fish…but a tiny Aquaman astride a seahorse struggles to escape!
- A stale jelly-donut with a bite taken out of it. When I try to determine what flavor jelly, it opens it’s eyes and glares balefully at me!
- The issue of Penthouse with the nekkid pictures of Vanessa Williams. (For shame, Glee! For shame!)
Fenris
Ah forget about it, I’m only miffed ‘cause I ain’t gettin’ any flirtin’.
I never mix my drinks more than is strictly necessary, btw.
- Empty can of vanilla coke
- Large coffee-table book of famous bridges
- A pallid bust of Pallas
- A globe
- Three Musketeers candy bar
- Small potted plant
- Aerosol can of pesticide
- Stuffed santa doll
- Kitchen sponge (this one)
- Tissue box
- Magnet shaped like a star
- Box of computer diskettes
No psychic ability here (unless I’m right… whoa)
whoops! well, I claim that the 12th item is in the room somewhere! How’s that for psychic?
IWLN,
It is hard enough to concentrate and not let anything slip without your relentless double entendres and flirting*.
Yes, it must have seemed amusing to use the phrases ‘I know what this man’s thinking’ and ‘stiff’ in the same sentence. But how did you know?
And describing yourself as a ‘weak’ woman is a real come-on to an English chap. If you should also happen to be ‘hot’, then you would perfectly resemble my favourite cup of tea. 
Finally I think you must make your intentions** clear. Am I cute like … a brother :smack: , or like … a friend 
?
*please do not take this as a request to stop!
** it’s just like a romance novel
Dude, that’s my desk you’ve been remote viewing!
I’ve come to the conclusion that English men do it better. Oh, I mean they are more skilled. I mean at flirting and double entendres!
Remember, I’m better than Sylvia Brown. Although I admit it took me ten minutes to type these two coherent sentences. My mind kept stopping to look at the pictures.:o
Uh, still can’t form sentences well. Is it warm in here or is it just me?
Hey!! I don’t know how they do things in England, but in America, we don’t flirt with our brothers. That brought one perfectly delicious fantasy to a screeching halt. You’re going to have to make that one up to me. And while I am scolding you, who is this Gypsy Rose wench and why do people keep seeing her garters on your desk? I know what we have can never be more than a “thread”, but must I hear about your other dalliances?
As if I could my ‘hot English Leather’.;)(note to mods: just trying to keep relations good between the U.S and England.)
Thank you for contributing!
I can imagine. Another thing I noticed in my little experiment with astral projection was something I’ve noticed before when someone has tried to hypnotise me – in all fairness, I must admit that my natural skepticism does intrude. Throughout any attempts to clear my mind, my inner-Skeptic (sometimes known as my inner-smartass) keeps poking her head in and whispering, “Yeah, this is gonna work…” I freely admit that it’s difficult (possibly even impossible) for me to be completely non-judgmental about the paranormal.
And other things too*.
*like speaking in an English accent, and taking ages to chat up women
Still the cup of tea analogy, huh?
We don’t flirt with our sisters either. :eek:
I meant that when a girl says ‘I like you as if you were my brother’, it’s a dampener on any romantic aspirations a chap may have.
Was your ‘perfectly delicious fantasy brought to a screeching halt’ anything to do with a train entering a tunnel? :o
Hot English Leather?
Is this a reference to a Wellington boot left in front of a roaring log fire?
Don’t trust your feelings on matters of fact, trust the evidence!
I notice that we’re up to page six now, and unless I’ve missed it, the actual test itself hasn’t happened, has it? I could have taken a Greyhound bus over there and looked at the items, stopped over at my sister’s place in Maryland for Christmas, taken in the entire Ring cycle, and made it back home in Portland faster than this supposedly instantanious display of astral projection has taken.
Exactly. Just get on with it, folks.
1.mickey mouse figurine
2.silver pen with a heart on the end of the pocket clip.
3.something with feathers
4.black keyboard
5.bottle of pain reliever…starts with E
6.Glass ball type paperweight. something green in the middle
7.magnifying jeweler type desk lamp
thats all i got…
True, and I regret that it has taken this long. To be fair, it was not my intention to imply that I would instantaneously astral project to glee’s desk. My exact words, in the other thread (linked in the OP) were:
I also said that it might take a while, so the agreement (unless I missed something) was that there would be no time limit. Of course nothing’s stopping me from posting wild guesses, but in the interest of serious research I want to be sure that my post is based on a real projection.
You’re right in that 25 days is an awful lot for something instantaneous, but neither glee nor I expected it to be instantaneous anyway.
Please know that I am sensitive to everybody’s concerns here and will make more effort to achieve a result as quickly as possible.
Greyhound has a bus from Portland to England now? :eek:
Oh…You mean the other Portland. Blondes aren’t known for their high level of acuity when it comes to geography.:smack:
As Cityboy did say, he was going to try to develop his ability, and asked for time to do so. Once he achieves that, the test should be pretty quick. (I’m prepared to leave the objects on my desk for up to a year!)
As for your post above, I do live in the UK, so were you going to levitate a Greyhound bus across the Atlantic?!
That would be something to see…
