    What Not to Say to a Newbie

    I stole this from another forum I visit

    Someone asks a 'newbie' type question and you give the wrong answer.

    Example: What is a BoS?
    Next poster would answer: Bag of Shenanigans



    Here's mah newbie question:

    When I burn a jar candle, where does all the wax go?

    Well duh, candles are magic. Why do you think we use them in spells? It just magics away!

    I've been trying to make my broomstick fly but it won't leave the floor. What am I doing wrong? Is it that I need a black cat to ride on the back?
    夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?

      Did you remember to put petrol in it? It won't fly without it.

      What's the best way to make an offering to a deity?

        Well, the best way involves an unbaptized child and a big knife...

        How do I get some of my boy/girlfriend's pubic hair without seeming suspicious?

            Earplugs. Won't hear them anymore.

            People are bullying me, what can I do to stop their bullying?

              I keep dreaming about armageddon, is it an omen?
              life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

              Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

              "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                No, the Gray Aliens were beaming it into your head while you slept. Try wearing a tinfoil hat at bedtime.

                A black cat is following me everywhere! Is it my familiar?

                        Ever since I can remember, I've felt like I was different somehow...special, I guess. I've always felt that I wasn't quite human. I think I might have been a dragon in my last life. How do I know if I'm a dragon?

                          Jump off a cliff, if you start flying then you're non-human. If not, well you might be a dragon in your next life....

                          I seez dead people, what do I do?

                            Talk to them in public and talk to strangers about it.

                            I keep seeing numbers everywhere; what does it mean?

                              You're a math genius who has discovered the key to unlocking the very secrets of the universe itself.

                              There's this guy in my math class, and I really like him, but he's really popular and doesn't know I'm alive. What's a good love spell that will make him fall for me?
