Neither. They fall off in mid smack. I'm not really sure why, but, then, I'm not a scientist science student. Might be gravity, might be paranormal interference from an extraterrestrial incarnation.

Uh huh, Uh huh <nods>

Alright, I am contacting you today. Can you set up a test for me, well, not tomorrow but soon, to have me walk past smack me in the face with 100 patients steaks in a hospital restaurant and identify their illnesses toppings? I will make the expense of traveling to you if you can arrange for this test in a hospital. reataurant. I would be quite excited to do this. I hope this wasn't an empty offer, I've been given those before.

I wish you guys would stop talking about food -- specifically steak and mushrooms/pepper. It's just making me salivate onto my keyboard.

I'll be happy to taste test those steaks afterward for tenderness, juiciness ect.

I will do this by placing a sample in my mouth and without chewing make my assessment. I have never been wrong on this. Well I thought I was once but I didn't write it down.

Well, it's not that simple.

1. We need a protocol. You submit seven, and I'll reject them.
2. We have to establish that this is, in fact, not a taste test, but a taste study. Please post that 312 times.
3. We have to get a permit from Food and Beverage. I know the right to be voluntarily smacked in the face with a steak is protected by the US Constitution, but caution is a plus for scientists science students us.
4. Since steak toppings are not cereal boxes, I'll need to send you samples of each topping.
5. Since you will be participating, I have to send you pictures of each venue.
6. You need to establish a media presence. Please contact CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, National Geographic, the Smithsonian, Reader's Digest Condensed Books Department, Vanity Fair, People Magazine, Paris Match, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and Watchtower.
7. I know you'll probably want to keep this secret from your family and your colleagues, so please alert four of them.

I'll be happy to taste test those steaks afterward for tenderness, juiciness ect.

I will do this by placing a sample in my mouth and without chewing make my assessment. I have never been wrong on this. Well I thought I was once but I didn't write it down.

Please focus on the main claim. We are taste studying toppings. Don't make me tell you 9,000 more times.

I heard that Ben Franklin had the exact same problem. Well, okay, he didn't have a keyboard-he had a quill pen and some vellum. But, still, pretty much the same problem. Sorta.

1. [*]We need a protocol. You submit one, and I'll reject it.

   
   I have already posted my protocol before, why do you disagree with it? I will write a long post later to explain everything. I will need at least 4 skeptics to fill out the paperwork. I you slap me and I don't predict the right topping it does not constitute a failure. I have been slapped before and I have never been proven wrong.

OMG!! I steeled myself to never participate in a VFF thread again, but this was too good. HYSTERICAL, desert gal!!

I for one am happy to see this thread hasn't been derailed by satirical sidebarring and childish ridiculing of the claimant.

 

[catbasket]

... I know the right to be voluntarily smacked in the face with a steak is protected by the US Constitution ...

A right which is sadly lacking here in the UK. We do however have the right to be smacked in the face with a wet fish.

@Kariboo - apologies for derailing your attempt to negotiate a protocol for your taste test. Sorry, I mean taste study.

 

[desertgal]

I have already posted my protocol before, why do you disagree with it? I will write a long post later to explain everything. I will need at least 4 skeptics to fill out the paperwork. I you slap me and I don't predict the right topping it does not constitute a failure. I have been slapped before and I have never been proven wrong.

Don't be hostile. Do you have anecdotal evidence? Did you remember to contact Martha Stewart? Just telepathically send her a picture of a flower. She'll understand. It's a good thing.

I think that is 384 (and I had to use a calculator) so I have a few pre-emptive ones

Those are strikes against you.

I have contacted them and asked if it is ok to slap people with steaks in restaurants. I *hope* they will get back to me soon. I can't do it without permission because I will be deported

You are playing fast and loose with the protocol. You have to ask if it is okay to be slapped with a steak in restaurants. Obviously, anyone can slap someone with a steak. And you have to compose an oral waiver that specifies this is for entertainment purposes only. Martha hasn't "sent" me any stock tips lately, and I can't afford a lawsuit.

They won't deport you. They'll just send your email address to Nigerian spammers.

We have to get permission from each different venue though.... I can also predict smoothy tastes. Wouldn't that be easier?. It is also very interesting

Objectively, I can't smack you with a smoothie, but that doesn't matter-they have less calories than steak, and it will save Moochie's keyboard. I invented the smoothie, you know. And the electric leaf blower. And the parachute rip cord. When I was 13. "They" stole my inventions, though...

Why are you being such a meanie skeptic??? I am just trying to set up a protocol test study ^scamI am talking to the people from Watchtower they just came to my door. Coincidence ? I think not.

What's your fetish with Martha. Show me quotes from my posts where I mention her? I don't know about US slapping laws but I know in my country they are different. i don't want to accidentally influence an innocent bystander paranormally because then they would like different toppings which is against the psychic claimants code. you can't be too careful

They won't deport you. They'll just send your email address to Nigerian spammers.

ha, way ahead of you there. i am already corresponding with a prince and I am just an email away from getting $578999399939393939 so there. I don't need the stupid million

So you are trying to get out of your offer. See, I knew it. you are afraid that I will win. Cause I will. But you are scared. that always happens with skeptics. They promise and then they change the goalposts

I know what you invented, cause I read your mind. I can do that. Wouldn't that be interesting and fun to test? We don't need smoothies for that

 

[desertgal]

You've met Prince Charles? Cool.

 

[desertgal]

Please. I am a sooper paranormal psychic skeptic claimant. I know you were thinking about James Randi. Which means you were really thinking about James Stewart. Which means you were really thinking about Martha Stewart. And everyone here knows my real fetish is group hugs with Locknar in the middle. He's squishy. I like squishy. I also like sushi.

ha, way ahead of you there. i am already corresponding with a prince and I am just an email away from getting $578999399939393939 so there. I don't need the stupid million

He told me he was a king! But, anyway, you have to donate $57899939939393939.01 of that to the JREF. Fair is fair.

That always happens with skeptics. They promise and then they change the goalposts

We do not. We throw up roadblocks. Big bad mean roadblocks.

Except for the sushi bit. That was fairly obvious, of course.

Nice variation on the TM^TM™ theme, BTW.


@ desertgal: ok, I tried.

 

[desertgal]

I for one am happy to see this thread hasn't been derailed by satirical sidebarring and childish ridiculing of the claimant.

Okay, point taken. Sorry.

In fairness, though, to keep the thread on the original topic leads nowhere. It goes like this:

VfF is a paranormal claimant, specifically with the ability of psychic medical diagnosis - although she will throw in other outrageous claims here and there. She is the most extraordinary human being in the history of mankind. Her abilities, once proven, will turn scientific study upside down, change the world as we know it, and ensure her a Nobel Prize. (Although she isn't really human, but an extraterrestrial incarnation from a white dwarf star near Arcturus.)

She also has symptoms of synesthesia.

She's not delusional, running a scam, seeking attention, or dishonest-except when she is, but that isn't her, it's the big bad mean skeptics. She is, however, ethical, professional, and a superior person in all ways-except when she isn't, but that isn't her, it is the big bad mean skeptics. She has no formal medical training, but that is a piddling detail - she is able to diagnose illnesses on the basis of working three years as an LPN in a nursing home, so it is perfectly ethical for her to do so.

She can see into the human body at an atomic level, except when she can't. ALL of her abilities function perfectly-except when they don't. And she will never, admit that she is incorrect in any of her perceptions. It's not her. It's everyone else.

She excels at objectivity, except when objectivity is required. She is a skeptic, except when critical thinking is required. She values skeptics, but rejects their input. She plans to 'study' her ability, but never actually will. She plans to "test" her ability, but never actually will.

She's every other paranormal claimant.

That's where discussing VfF's claim has led and will always lead. She will never establish or falsify a genuine ability. She will never let it get that far. It is beyond tiresome. Is it any wonder we've all now balked at helping her nurture her fantasies?

You'll have to pardon the levity.

 

[LONGTABBER PE]

Alright, I am contacting you today. Can you set up a test for me, well, not tomorrow but soon, to have me walk past 100 patients in a hospital and identify their illnesses? How near are you North Carolina? I will make the expense of traveling to you if you can arrange for this test in a hospital. I would be quite excited to do this. I hope this wasn't an empty offer, I've been given those before.

There, fixed it for you

If she hadn't made that about making fun of the skeptics it might not have happened but that remark was like chumming the sharks. While swimming.
