Guys. I need your input.
What do you all know about curses?
I'm pretty sure I have had one placed on me.
So, since I work within a couple of minutes of the mission district in Knoxville I know all the local bums by names or nicknames. (i.e. Frankenhooker) There is one local bum who I call the crazy leprechaun. He is maybe 5'1", is constantly talking to himself, and just has the 'crazy' look. About a year ago, he messed with the train tracks behind my bar. If he had not been caught, and a train had come by, it would have derailed because of what he did. Of course, he was only in jail for like a minute.
Not too long ago Mindy and I were meandering around the downtown area, I noticed him ahead of us yelling to himself and we diverted our direction a bit so we could avoid him. Of course, he noticed us.
He looked right at us and said "I'll cut your tongues out."
Do leprechauns have the power to curse people?
I realize that it probably isn't as strong as a gypsy curse, but I am still pretty worried.
I think hobo curses don't count. Plus you didn't actually do anything to him so any curse can't work. This is my Ginny logic.
ReplyDeleteI still have my tongue so this is sound logic.
Delete"I'll cut your tongues out" isn't really a curse, so much as a threat, so as long as you steer clear of him (particularly when he has a knife and/or your mouths are open) you should be fine.
ReplyDeleteCurses come in different forms. It's best to be prepared for every kind of curse assault.
DeleteI'd say if you're having trouble finding the right words at times, he has definitely cursed you. But then again, I love creepy things like that, so I'm probably overreacting. But yes, I'd say he cursed you. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI probably had it coming.
DeleteYes, they do. I've been cursed by one before. It was that night that I grew a penis, but I had it removed, and sold it to the leprechaun.
ReplyDeleteSeems like both you and the leprechaun won in the end.
DeleteProtect yourself againts any curse by chanting "White light, pink light!" over and over. If you see hobo-lepri again direct the chant right at him!
ReplyDeleteI'm writing this down for future reference.
DeleteI don't think leprechauns have that power. Maybe keep some salt around just in case.
ReplyDeleteWait. I thought salt was for slugs. I'm googling this.
DeleteI might just avoid him if he's looking especially deranged and/or armed. But if that is the case.. you could take him.
