The Genie in Genieus

Post by outofthebox »

I thought I'd ruin everybodys day and ask a SIMPLE question out of curiousity.

If you ever could find that magic lamp; what would be the first wish you would make when the genie popped out?

And since I'm on a roll here.
What would be the first question you'd ask God if you met him?

One more; painless, I promise.
You have two opportunities for dates. One date has a promise of hot sex all night with a dream partner and the other would be prime rib, fine wine,great soft music, and a hug and a kiss good night. Which date would you go on?

Me, I'm going for pizza,beer and great sex. I enjoy a good porterhouse, wild irish rose and Diana Krull while I'm dining alone.

I don't know outofthebox. I've been gone for a while. The site has been taken over by a new Christ. But I loved the title of your post. Very interesting. And, I like the cut of your jib. I think you are new; I've never heard of you.

You will find that no one here has a sense of humor. That's what they call 'feminine.' I like you, though.

I think those with a sense of humour also tend to be the type who don't get obsessed with one particular forum - especially with forums that are "supposed" to concentrate on serious discussion.

But I'm hardly a regular, so heres my answers:

I'd wish for more wishes. If that was against the rules, I'd wish for the rules to be changed, etc.

I'd ask God: "Why do you exist."

and I'd go on the dinner date... unless there was the condition that I could never again meet that woman. Though in any case I'd probably go on the dinner date actually, but maybe I'm just saying that cause im absolutely starving just now....

Most days, I would politely request the genie return to the lamp; then I'd bury it in concrete where it would not be found for several generations at least.

But not today, no. Today does not find me in that humor.

Today, outofthebox, you have called into being this mythical creature, this odd fictional genie. And today, I would have that genie teach you something...

The genie would find you and begin torturing you in ways that are beyond the imagination of mortal men; in ways that take a mythical creature - and as it happens in this case, a particularly sick and twisted mythical creature - just to come up with. Perhaps he would start by removing parts of your skin; some parts, he might remove with a knife, while other parts might be removed with sandpaper, or chewed off by rats; a mere hint of what is to come. He would graduate to something far more painful, something so hideous that I can not even imagine it; it could not even be told to a person without causing them severe psychological damage.

After a few hours, the genie would stop his torture to ask you if you understand why you are being tortured. You would not, and so the torture would continue. He would ask again and again - not that often, really, just taking a break of a few seconds after a few hours of indescribable agony have gone by.

You start guessing at the reason, but you do not understand, and the genie can not be fooled.

Also, your torture would be put on a webcam, so that everyone could hear your pathetic screaming and pleading. The torture would be epic, unbearable to watch. It would spawn generations of horror films beyond anything made today, setting new standards in terror and horror that no one had even dared consider possible.

Finally, you get it. You understand! You realize why you are being tortured! You tell the genie.

"That is correct," he tells you. Then the torture continues, endlessly, taking breaks only to stop you from dying.

But, at least, your curiosity is satisfied - right?
