The Wizard has recently acquired, through perilous exertions and an astonishing exercise of wits, an amzing compendium of useful advice and spells.
Not wishing to hoard this wisdom from those who may need magical assistance, the Wizard will entertain periodically, the mundane questions, desperate cries, or rude and insensitive remarks of those in need of Magick.

Renounce all the vain things that you want (Desire is the source of suffering)
OR
increase your income to the point that you no longer need philosophy.
They have all been "forgiven", too.
Another question...how can a become a popular successful celebrity gossiper?
These migtht be:
What is your favorite muffin?
What color is your underwear?
Will Dick Cheney go to hell?
2. what underwear?
3. yes, most likely
Do you like to watch the grass grow? You might be a candidate to critique the changing weight of Britney.
With the right "credentials", you could pay all your bills. I know a nice gentleman, newly-retired, form Idaho who would love to meet you.
Who's Britney?
If you are later embarrasses, you can delete the article and keep the points.
It is often done on Gather.
I cannot type as fast as the answers are revealed
Pinnochio fell prey to sandpaper in a joke I heard a while back.
We are notoriously untidy, bushy-browed, and constantly randy. Rather like goats.
Charms to increase points are also effective:
1. Select a really bad piece of poetry, such a recent imitation of Whitman.
2. Memorize an egregious phrase.
3. Send a Mass e-mail lauding the especially infeliocitous language to everyone in each of the author's groups.
The deep magick of Gather rewards this with oodles of points.
When the Lying have gone ON the lam. I think that is it.
I may have dropped some pizza on the magic eight-ball.
I picture hearing his voice with a european accent, based on his elegant choice of teminology.
A kindergarten experience is not required to participate in most Gather games.
Well-behaved St. Bernard's have been successful at most of the daily "name that annoyance" activities.
A recent survey found that household pets WERE the largest demographic represented on Good Morning Gather.
The best albums were with Peter Gabriel..or was that Wimsey?
Of course, you will then have sufficinet Gather points to purchase Disneyland.
We have been disappointed in the foundations of the real world, and we look to magic and vote Republican.
I blast him with my rod of power, I put a charm of incontinence upon him :-)
The man in the picture is the projected desire of all the magic-less multitudes.
We are eagerly rushing to find the next wizard, and here I am.
I see the discovery of treasure, a totem of ancient power, and a clash in the current dynastic house.
The simple rule of old and olde is one of relative age.
If you are a crusty curmudgeon, some may call you an "old fogey."
But, if you are the eldest crusty curmudgeon, then you are the "olde fogey.'
Try any of the "true to yourself" or "truly be" groups for candidates.
Anyone can see that you are already incontinent.
I see a puddle spreading around you.
What were you thinking when you invited this karma?
My next article will be a similar homage to Whitman -and it will address the necessity of air.
I am not thinking at all but dictating whatevber is revealed or otherwise pops into mind.
Quite a few self-help books were composed in the same way.
Them apples were rotten.
Let's get this straighter, Peter.
I live in East Tennessee.
Miss Kate lives in Kentucky.
We are not interchangable or easy to mix up in any way.
She's a blond, and I'm a possum.
To banish headaches:
headaches are the result of words of power left unspoken.
Select the most recent example of trivial and offensive ranting.
Write these magical words into an e-mail:
"You have wasted your mind, and mine. You will forever be at a loss for words"
Over the written message, recite three times: "I send this charm with the powers of Wizards"
e-mail it to the inane publisher.
Your headache will leave.
It's going to be one hell of a Magick Kingdom there below Bristol or Johnson City.
I bite blonds and redheads.
Sorry for making you a Kentuck, though.
I never suspected that Kate was hanging around to pick up serfs on this thread! :-)
He was much better. He could exercise mind control and control the weather, for example. He refused to teach me any of the advanced stuff. He said he couldn't risk having a peer.
Do you know what hell Eric has entered when he became the serf of Kate?
I'm gonna be royally pissed if I spent my hard-stolen dollars on the wrong ckrap.
There was once a huge-assed nuisance who has since retired that offensive image.
I still am blasted by the dreaded sparkling butterfly, however.
The difference is "Special K".
What do you want every morning in order to have a good day?
Now for a Wizard's Curse:
"Those who leave Drive-By Ones will shoot blanks, will forever be duds, will be wretched in their impotence."
I have no clue as to that knowledge...but he/she can only present his/her IQ once anyway.
When the quotient reflects an unusual number, such as it now does at 8.4, one devines that there were 9 votes of ten and 2 of one- to yield such a number.
I asked because I have a non-wizardly interest in the phenomenon of the "charming child" and birth order and gender.
I recall the delight with which it appeared to adorn "The Book of Genesis" -which I was entering in the earlier First Chapters Contest.
Would the magic be enhanced or disappear if we were to meet in space and time?
Nippy, all hedgehogs are retiring sorts, but can be charmed out into the open.
I figured you would catch up with us, eventually!
I have been misusing my gift of charm here tonight, with an extra helping of 'fawning' to charm Kate into allowing me to act as a serf in her propsed "Kingdom"
I am the third of four, but the first of the second "pair".
My parents, who did everything decently and in order, had a boy and a girl, observed an interval of several years, and repeated the process.
I was the charming child.
Nope, we Goldens usually do not make good familiars, sidekicks, fans, hangers-on, groupies, crew, or Executive Assistants.
Eric, nobody is likely to mistake me for any of the youth membership here.
Peter, Frightening Icon (aka Varmint) is nobody's serf. If you hang with her, it's strictly self-serfish.
