How To Change Your Fortune

 by Gjdj3
Contest Winner
No silly! Not that kind of fortune! I'm talking about the kind of fortune that comes in a cookie. In my opinion everything is better when cookies are involved. I did this on April Fools Day to prank everyone (We got Chinese food. They were begging for trouble) in my family. I unfortunately never got around to documenting it until now. It's probably too late to get anywhere in the April Fools contest which, correct me if I'm wrong, goes entirely on user votes. Oh well, on to the project!

I find it funny how the fortune says "A cautious person leaves no stones unturned" and we're trying to prevent that.

the best fortune ever... from "Roccos modern life" (a cartoon)

Bad luck and extreme misfortune will haunt your pathetic soul for all eternity

Actually my friend told me about a really good one! It said:
Error 404 - Fortune Not Found

GEEK HUMOR!!!! This is a great Idea! I will definitely have to use this!

No, my friend got a better one once:
You will eat another fortune cookie.

I prefer the last option to get it out.  Then I get hungry and eat the cookie.

Ha! Reminded me of when I proposed to my wife. I opened a Cracker Jacks box at the bottom, removed the "surprise", carefully opened the little bag & removed the toy, put in the ring w/ a note something like "I don't know you, but Will You Marry Me?", and got the whole thing back together. I suggest not to try that at home. I proposed to my second wife along those lines, but using a KinderEgg. I now live alone in my small apartment. Memories, Like the corners of my mind, Misty water-colored memories.....

I did this years ago. If you put the cookie in the microwave it will soften it. Then you insert the fortune. Reshape the cookie and you are good to go.

We have these hot sealers for home use. You just insert two AA batteries and clamp it on the plastic. It'd work wonders on this.

did you get it online?
codongolev in reply to Sandisk1duoAug 31, 2008. 8:15 PM
I found one at wal-mart for $4.00.
Noodle93 in reply to Sandisk1duoJul 1, 2008. 8:45 PM
Yeah, my dad bought some spontaneously off

GraysOnline.com.au

http://www.handysealer.com/main/ is the website home, it's called Handy Sealer.
Sandisk1duo in reply to Noodle93Jul 1, 2008. 8:53 PM
how much did you pay?
Noodle93 in reply to Sandisk1duoJul 1, 2008. 8:56 PM
I'm not sure, the way GraysOnline works, is they sell a lot of stock that was supposed to be exported/imported but orders got cancelled etc. Example, we buy Wine which costs upward of $20-30 for >$10, usually about $5. And all these Wines are Aussie made too. However I don't think they ship to Americas and stuff.

Sandisk1duo in reply to Noodle93Jul 1, 2008. 9:15 PM
i know where to get them for 3.39 + free shipping thats why i was asking emo-child
Noodle93 in reply to Sandisk1duoJul 1, 2008. 9:16 PM
Hehe, I've used that image since about 2005 for internet communities everywhere. I'm not actually emo, nowhere near it.
Sandisk1duo in reply to Noodle93Jul 1, 2008. 9:23 PM
i guessed you wouldn't be offended b/c your not emo that image i have, a microdrive, taken apart by yours truly it is out of a $100 mp3 player
Noodle93 in reply to Sandisk1duoJul 1, 2008. 9:56 PM
Sweet, did you actually do anything with it?
Sandisk1duo in reply to Noodle93Jul 1, 2008. 10:01 PM
Not really, just for kix and pictures the player's firmware crashed, and there was no way to fix it... not all i need is a new microdrive, i still have the parts if i ever find the right HDD

That sounds cool... and useful.
coconeenies says: Aug 30, 2008. 7:16 AM
I think this is a great idea. I'm going to use it on my kids at some point (6 & 8 1/2) reminding them of the importance of sharing or being kind. I think it will freak them out a bit especially the 8 1/2 year old that is currently reading Harry Potter books.
Gjdj3 (author) in reply to coconeeniesAug 30, 2008. 10:34 AM
Haha. Thank you very much. Tell me how it goes!

Gjdj3 (author) in reply to theburn7Jul 2, 2008. 12:56 PM

Redgerr in reply to theburn7Jul 18, 2008. 10:24 AM
lol
Charles IV in reply to GorillazMikoApr 19, 2008. 5:52 PM
Oh my gosh I have like six different knives, 3 pellet guns, and complete access of all my Dad's power tools.
Labot2001 in reply to GorillazMikoApr 18, 2008. 12:25 PM
X-acto?? Multi-tools and utility knives are where it's at!
Sunbanks in reply to GorillazMikoApr 7, 2008. 5:54 PM
I lost one of my X-acto knives too...It was sitting on the counter and the next day it was gone! But I have two others....Except I need new blades for them...
Gjdj3 (author) in reply to GorillazMikoApr 7, 2008. 4:47 PM
It's my dad's leatherman but he lets me use it a lot. He doesn't have much use for it so I get to use it pretty much whenever I need to :-). Thanks for the vote and rating. Oh, and sorry about your knife. X-Acto knifes are more useful than you realize until you lose one. I know from experience :-(.
Redgerr says: Jul 18, 2008. 10:28 AM
