I welcome some of the 'fortunes' I've obtained. XD It may seem weird but I keep these fortune tags in my wallet.

********************************

Some fortune cookies can generate interesting or nonsensical fortunes.

"Someone is very anxious to meet you."

"The person next to you may be a potential mate." (when the ppl next to you are of the same genders)

Anyone with memorable ones?

I always eat my fortunes. Or else they won't come true. Seriously, I've eaten three or four of those little paper slips in my lifetime. >.>

'Twas a friend's suggestion. I'm not insane enought to come up with that sort of stuff on my own... Yet.

I've always wanted to get a little paper slip that said:

"I'm free!"

Once, I got not 1, 2, or even 3 fortunes in one cookie. XD I got 4. Two of them went against each other, as well. u.u

4 fortunes?!?! How is it even possible to shove that much paper into a tiny cookie?? :dizzy:

For some reason, most of the fortunes I get aren't even fortunes, they're more like helpful advice. I tend to find ones that say things like, "Do your best" or "Avoid confrontations with friends". Although, when I get actual fortunes, they say really weird stuff. Once, I got one that said something to the effect of "The enemy is close by, in an unsuspecting place" and another that said "You have many admirers and are loved by all". O.o

"Your ambition will pay off in the long run."

Heh, one of my friends back in elementary school was insulted by one that said "You must learn to read between the lines."

girl named Mitsuki or Kagome." :lol:

My totally insane cousin(who I'm convinced is some sort of government experiment gone awry, and is quoted twice in my sig) got one once that said "The beauty within your heart will guide you through life."

You will find it wise to remain silent.

I don't talk that much do I?

Often, fortunes aren't fortunes at all. Usually it's some kind of instructive mumbo jumbo or something like "People like you."

:D I got one today that said, "You will get good news in the mail." Pretty specific for a cookie, lol.

Has anyone heard of the fortune cookie oracle game? It's where you ask a question that cannot be answered by yes or no to your cookie before you open it, and if it answers your question, it scores a point. If not, you score a point. :D

I just typed in fortune in my terminal and got this;

"Your present plans will be successful."

Which makes me think, I don't have much of a plan right now other than playing NWN, so... Looks like I'll finish the game again today :)

[edit] I just tried again. I got:

"Your step will soil many countries."

I helped prepare for a wedding last month and for the reception we made custom fortune cookies. Among the fortunes were:

"Smile. It makes people wonder what you're up to."
"You will soon consume a tasteless faux-Asian baked good."
"LOOK BEHIND YOU!"

and

"Help! I'm being held hostage in a fortune cookie factory!"

how lucky for you all. All fortunes I get are ordinary, boring inspirations.

sweet life in say Hawaii now! :lol:
