Thread: Bad news

wow it looks impressive when your vote is the only one.

He won't even remember those things...
He'll move on without hesitation

Tell him that when the cards are so powerful, the energy in it melts the card and the objects around it.

Missing the "It's his fault for leaving them in his pocket, hard lesson learned."

Nope... Just don't say anything...
He'll want something new soon enough

(Besides... Pokemon is the devil)
I'm convinced it uses mind control invented by the Japanese
Thats why all those kids had seizures over in Japan!
they fixed it before it came to the US...


But what happened when it did come over here??

i forgot pokemon cards even existed. i played with those in grade 6 cuz i was one cool motherfucker (note my sarcasm)

but in the event that they were washed/stolen, i took into account that those cards were doubles, triples even. point is, im betting your nephew will get any of the cards lost, back again, considering it's so easy to get all the cards. you follow? unless theyre the ones they dont print anymore, then your fucked

What I did when I was younger when I broke or ruined something of someone else's, I find a way that it inconvenienced me so I can act all mad too. Like with your nephew, tell him you had to redo the load and the ink in the cards stained your clothes.

These days I just say, "Shit happens."

Another thing you can do is say, "At least you can have Pokemon cards, starving kids in Africa would kill for Pokemon. So if you don't shut up I will send you there and you can starve and catch the AIDS. How does that sound?" He'll prolly forget about the cards right around the time you mention the AIDS.

It was thought that these children suffered from photosensitive epilepsy which is epilepsy caused by sensitivity to flashing lights. The authors of the paper below suggests that while photosensitive epilepsy did occur in some cases, mass media also played a role in inducing the epileptic seizures by means of "epidemic hysteria."

The condition was caused by use of an animation technique called "Paka-Paka" =
the use of different colored lights flashing alternately to create tension

This theory is also used by military reasearchers to design light weapons
that would diable enemy troops by causing panic attaks when the lights are viewed

The technique is aso used by airforce trainers to cause mental stress and anxiety

The Japanese gov't was prolly using it as population control, you know how quickly those fuckers are reproducing?

He'll miss them. Better buy some more.

but the kid a Hussler magazine and a pack of cigarettes, and he will forget about those cards fast

Just tell him to deal with it, lesson learned. Dont leave stuff in your pockets.

I did have to redo the laundry because of the mess the cards made but the kid is like 7 so I dont want to say "you could have aids instead" like he would even know what it was.

Oh, I didn't know he's 7? He's old enough to know better, bouts time he learns a lesson, take off your belt and beat him.

Jus kidding.

tell him what happened and ask if he'd like more. my son just turned 8 and sometimes something insignificant to us is very important to them. and then again something we think might be very important can be shrugged off. i'm guessing if they were in his pocket they are important to him.

I remember pokemon cards...those were the shit man.

As long as they werent rare, it should be fine.
If they were the more common kind, then I'm willing to bet he has 2-10 more of those exact same cards.

NO, if you spill the beans and he hasn't noticed the cards gone
he'll be crushed for sure

Just be quiet, and if he starts asking about them,
then you can come clean and get more or whatever

Otherwise don't start a fuss

I don't know about now, but when I was in 3rd grade some of the rare ones were worth up to 130$.

Tell his mom and do what she suggests.
