If you were at the flee market and saw a tarot reader there...
Would you spend $10 bucks for a reading?

4. What does being single have to do with it?
It can be great foreplay if you take your wife and let the reader know what you are up to. heck I know a guy that used a reader to help propose to his now wife.

22. Most tarot readers are romantics by heart.

6. A reading of what?
Well, I guess it is "no" then. The technique of cold reading to ascertain details about a stranger's life is too well documented for psychics, card-readers or necromancers to be anything but frauds.

11. Two what? Names for the shit list?
What do you expect the responses to be? :shrug: I guess like a lot of magic tricks, it is not as entertaining if the audience knows how it is done.

12. Sure. Not ten bucks worth of fun though.
Edited on Wed Dec-10-08 05:18 PM by DarkTirade
I'm a cheap bastard. :)

'sides, it's something I prefer to do with friends. I think it's better if there's a connection between the reader and the readee.

15. I might spend $2 just for fun, but I wouldn't
do it for any other purpose but entertainment. Ten bucks is a bit steep for me.

19. Nah. I always head straight for the divining rod section.
Maybe pick up a few crystal balls and other worthless pseudo-spiritual crap along the way.

20. I got one last year at one of those flee markets.
But she was being sponsored by some company in town so the readings were free. I'm just sitting here waiting for the financial windfall she told me about.

25. Yes it was fun.
I had always wanted to do one of those, along with a palm reading. Just part of my curious nature I guess.

21. Probably nod.
I am very, very finicky about who reads my cards and that set-up would feel too much like thos people who dress in "gypsy" or other exotic costumes and have neon signs with crystal balls and stars. Ick. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

26. I'd flee at a flee market
but at a flea market, I might be willing to pay for that, just for the fun of it.
