Mogs SSUD

from.... not telling... secret

cost.. about £25

effect.....it finally arrived... with shaking fingers i hastily opened the 5 inch square steel lined box, threw away the US newspaper and unearthed the one and only DADDY OF ALL MAGNETS!!! 2x2x1/2 of pure Neo rare earth power.The skies darkened, the sounds of the four riders of the apocalypse could just be heard over the screaming of the gales, milk soured in its cartons and babies burst into tears at his passing... the mog strode manfully through it all... a look of grim determination on his weatherbeaten(but incredibly handsome ) visage... could death and destruction be far behind???

okok i love melodrama... heh heh heh

as i said i recieved it yesterday and ive had a bit of a play with it... and i must admit it is awesome

can obviously do all the things in the previous post but from further away and have just gimmicked a chicken bone for that voodoo feeling... heh heh heh and every time i got near a compass at work (from about 3 feet) the needle followed me.. which freaked out a few people

dude can you at least clarify that you are talking about a magnet, if you you have issues and need some serious therapy!!

[the_mog]

hmmmm well since it says " the daddy of all magnets" it kinda gives the game away.... this wasnt a serious review.. it was taken from part of a thread in another part of the forum ,sort of an ongoing joke

[maximus]

I think Ice knight needs "serius therapy" he he he

Primarily, this website is for use by magicians.
Secondly, it has a 'community' aspect, whereby friends are made, and chat takes place... whether magic related or not.

Some members seem to have nothing constructive to say, though, and find meaningless interjections and jibes to be appropriate.

There's an old saying which goes:
If you have nothing to say - say nothing!

Quite appropriate here, I think. The problem is, comments out of the blue which were possibly intended as a joke could be read the wrong way, and almost interpretid as malicious.

Where's your community spirit, guys? It's all a bit of fun...

[Mandrake]

Methinks it all boils down to plain, old fashioned, good manners.

By all means disagree with comments but let's phrase them in a polite manner and be equally prepared for differing opinions in response without resorting to the sort of vitriolic postings which are common on other sites. There is always a danger that the anonymity offered by this forum, and others, can be taken as an excuse to get ratty, nasty, sarky etc. There's really no need as most of us are interested in magic for the entertainment, hobby and relaxation side of things and this darker element simply isn't appropriate.

If intended comments are the sort of thing which would normally get a smack in the gob if spoken face to face with someone then they're probably not suitable for posting either!

As Yankee Tom says, it's all a bit of fun!

If you have nothing to say - say nothing!

hear hear.

apart from that i have nothing to say

[Mandrake]

'Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

(Oooh I wish I'd said that first!!!!)

[magicdiscoman]

whats the difference between an idiot and a fool

a fool gets paid

[Mandrake]

In which case I really am a bl**dy idiot!!

[bananafish]

Talking of fools, has anyone ever wondered if the "angels that fear to tread" were once the "Fools that rushed in"?

[the_mog]

beginning to wish id just shut up now...

[seige]

And so it goes full circle...

If you've got nothing to say, consult Seige - he's always got something to say

[magicdiscoman]

jason mimes that he has nothing to say

[Mandrake]

(Mandrake gestures hypnotically and sends all and sundry a telepathic message that he too has nothing to say. But you all knew that anyway, didn't you?)
