And, knowing that, he would also know your preferred credit card number and the expiration date, and would know that you’d have no problem with his using them.

So you get the subscription painlessly. Why on earth would any psychic-type EVER need to advertise?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Which he cribbed from Terry Pratchett. Oh Og, I can’t believe this.

I think we actually saw a video of his in science class back in high school. There was a fellow talking about morphic fields, I think; at least, I remember seeing this picture of a human hand with this blue glow around it. I think that was one of the films they showed during finals week where the teachers really didn’t care what we did.

I can feel … I sense a presence of some sort…why it’s the good doctor, wanting me to join in his Quest for Knowledge! I knew it all along… 🙂

Question: can one telepather prosecute another for tele-stalking?

Come now, The People’s Republic of Boulder stopped using the grasshopper as legitemate form of currency for psychic services over 4 years ago. The naked mole rat is now the preferred tender–but it _does_ lack the intense stare you can invoke in a really perturbed grasshopper.

So… when I feel like people are staring at me all the time, this guy says it means I’m psychic instead of paranoid and ugly? Sign me up!

I’m on to you. You stop following me with your thoughts and impure desires right now or I’ll report you to…Rupert!

Yeah-Rupert–who already knows all about you. Ha!

I’d like to imagine nobody believes him, but just last night I saw infomercials for some vaguely homeopathic joint ‘spray’ that is of course almost all water, and the [Qlink for golf](http://www.qlinkgolf.com) (which now that I check seems to be just a [regular Qlink](http://www.clarus.com/)), a device apparently consisting of a wound length of wire in a plastic shell that will “tune up your biofield through a resonant effect that harmonizes your energy” or some \*$&%, only $129. :rolleyes:

I _thought_ I was sensing a second presence, but what with the wind today–it’s been hard to keep my tinfoil hat on!

You know what I think about _those_ thoughts. Enough said. Nod’s as good as wink…

Firefox must have a baloney blocker extension.

🙂 All I see is the “Sheldrake Online” banner, and lots of white space. I checked Page Source to see if I was missing something. I was. I guess.
