i burped a demon

this morning i went about my normal morning routine, took the dog out, ate a little bit of bread, then as i was walking across the living room, i burped. you know, just like a normal little morning burp, nothing untoward. but when this happened, a puff of, like, smoke? a demon? a ghost? came out of my mouth. it was visible.

of course i was alarmed.

then it happened again. there were no windows open and i don't think i've been possessed, but hey

i burped a demon.

surely someone else has experienced this exciting phenomenon

I have a vision of you with a baby demon slung over your shoulder, you patting its horned back

i do feel oddly motivated today. have you seen THE BROOD? i bet that's what my demon would look like if it had an earthly form.

there, there little fella

i am concerned, about this burping!

you're an almost-doctor -- what happened to me? it was so weird! i don't have any preexisting gastro-esophageal probs, or digestion probs or anything.

i mean, was it legitimately smoky? like, wispy and curling? or was it more like vapor? you're not a smoker, right?

i am not a smoker. it was like, a poof of smoke-like air that disappeared as quickly as condensed breath outside on a cold day.

what if this means that i really am a witch?!

Burp Demon
I Burped a Demon

^^unreleased Robert Pollard songs

did you spew pea soup onto any priests today?

Pea Soup Priest

if i were possessed by bob pollard, i would be the happiest person on earth. superfan over here! shame i burped him out.

have not spewed anything on anyone. i even went for a little run after releasing my demon. feelin better than ever tbh

unreleased Robert Pollard songs

^^^oxymoron

did you actually release a bob Pilate song??

guy can't help it if he burps a lot of demons

maybe she's turning into Bob Pollard

Pollarditis

sweet mother
if i am his instrument, let my song sing

i do have a picture of myself with him...lemme find it. he looks really pale and wan!

we are both from ohio, in fact

this photo is old and my hair looks straight up awful but this could have been a defining moment in my life, leading to the day i burped my first pollard song/demon smoke.

captain's dead!

he looks ghostly there

perhaps he infected you

think pollarditis would involve vomiting beer more than burping

have been feeling pretty great since i burped a demon
went jogging, grocery shopped, accomplished a random task for work, working on writing my midterms right now, showing no signs of stopping

pollarditis (overproductivity) is really working out for me so far!

this happens after a bong hit sometimes

i didn't take a bong hit this morning fyi

Tomorrow is another day.

Nothing today (demons, vapor or otherwise)
Although it IS extremely foggy outside so maybe something supernatural IS afoot

or bong hits

i just remembered that this happened. i was starting to think that something magical was afoot recently, but i haven't burped a demon since march.

what gives

totes compressed air, I can do this on command (though it's not a burp)

great party trick if >75% of the party is stoned

maybe my life needs more of those parties so i can really fit in when this inevitably happens again

since i started this thread and posted that picture of me and bobby p

* i broke down and went to gbv reunion show and loved every goddamned minute of it
* have burped 0 demons

did bob pollard burp any demons

burps go 90

y'know, he didn't, but i think maybe after the show it's possible that he did

on with the show

didn't you see that? didn't you know (that i burped a demon)

i burped a demon...for you

[/roky]

Yes

i was listening to "pop zeus" the other day and there's that part at the end where he's all "electric news/noose paper boy" and i started to think about how clever that is. electric newspaperboy or electric noose, paper boy (possibly an allusion to their song "paper girl"? either makes sense, within the context, and i thought "pop zeus" indeed

then i thought about this thread.

i just remembered that i did this last weekend

burped a demon, that is

you did?!
tell me more

i was watching basketball with some friends and then out of nowhere i had this loooong burp that was kind of like a growl. people were startled and stared at me. one said, "that sounded like an animal!" i said no, i think it was a demon.

aside from the loud guttural noises, did you have additional indications that this was a demon rather than simple digestive upset?
for instance, did you see any ghosts or other fantasmas?

I just unintentionally burped the word "yeah" and it sounded like the beginning of Yello's 'Oh Yeah' (AKA 'that tune from Ferris Bueller's Day Off')

i thought i saw some kind of smoke/fog coming out of my mouth, but it did not manifest itself in an unmistakably diabolic manner, no.

ok, if you saw the fog, you officially burped a demon.
congrats!

I was walking my dog this morning, and I remembered that last night I dreamt that I was being held hostage in a cave with? by? this giant Grimace-as-human being who then proceeded to burp a demon, which liberated me from the cave.

I am imagining this as a scene in a Miyazaki movie!

It gets worse! Right after I remembered this, I walked past an older Hare Krisna woman* in a black cape who totally gave my dog el ojo. She seemed really unhappy and grizzled, uncharacteristic of the other wide and weird array of people who live in the temple/monastery in my neighborhood.

* usually they're pretty young, and predominantly male

NO NOT RUDY

Maybe that's just how her face is stuck, who knows.

This morning I woke up and I realized that my left hand was gripping something that felt like a pen. I opened my eyes and saw that it was a ballpoint pen. It had been nowhere near my hand or even my bed when I went to sleep, but there it was in my hand when I woke up.

That's all. Black ink, blue cap btw.

Your subconscious wants you to put the correct coloured caps on all your ballpoint pens.

BUT...it's the original cap! What do you make of THAT?

Have been sleepwalking, no burping though.

how can you be sure

because i woke up on the bathroom floor with the door closed(and heavy drinking was not involved)

how can you be sure you weren't sleepburping, i meant

i guess i'll never know

I felt like a burped a demon last night. No smoke though.

My nose started running. Why does my nose run whenever I am burping? Is it the demon??

Have you felt the presence of a demon?

I am very foul tempered and foul mouthed today (well, by my standards.) Maybe that is also proof of demonic presence.

That's proof of your humanity; proof of demonic possession will require more than being foul tempered and cursing, I'm afraid.

I have been thinking about demons a lot lately.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daemon_Lover

Mostly because I was talking with my class about the variants of folk songs, but also because demons are real.

Woke up holding the pen in a death grip again.

On the bathroom floor again?

No, this time I was snuggled in bed like a normal person.

Wow, you're really trying to tell your waking self something! Or maybe there's something you wish you could say that you're not saying, and sleep-you is trying to say it?

Maybe the demon wants to say something.

My demon.

Maybe tonight you should also leave paper on the bedside table. Or a nanny-cam focused on you in bed, I'm just saying, if you're levitating at 3am or anything, I'd want to know about it.

LL's recent string of posts deserve a better thread title than this, wonderful.

I dunno, I feel like it probably belongs here; this is where the demon first spoke to me.

I have nowhere else to put this, so I will put it here. A handbell with a demon handle?

http://americanbell.org/forum/download/file.php?id=1510&mode=view

Looks more like a souvenir from the Abu Ghraib gift shop.

http://susanhenschen.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/finger_pointing_027.gif

it looked like an executioner's hood to me tbh

looks like a phrygian cap, maybe?

what happens when you ring this bell?

you get dragged to hell?

just me?

you the bell ringer

eek

i thought for sure it would be the catalyst that set a bunch of other dark forces into motion
ring the bell --> straight to hell wasn't what i expected at all

well, who knows what you might bump into or otherwise disturb while being dragged?

anyway, just a theory. caution is recommended

good thing that bell isn't in my house. i just found it on a bell forum under "what is this morbid bell" or sthg like that
so of course i clicked on it -- clearly i can't be trusted to have something like that in my home.

Strange things have started to happen again. I saw this at the produce market today.

This month in demons: http://matthewpaulturner.net/jesus-needs-new-pr/exorcism-at-mars-hill-one-womans-story/

“Mark started the meeting by telling us he was convinced that I had demons,” says Amy, “and then he went on to add that my demons were ‘sexual demons’.”

Amy describes Mark’s demeanor toward her as a “fiery tirade”. During this encounter, Mark told Amy he believed that every one of her sins were “sex based.” He said that the demons inside her were out to destroy every one of the marriages in their circle of friends.

“At one point,” says Amy, “he asked me which one of my husband’s friends I had imagined sleeping with.”

Amy was dumbfounded by Mark’s questions and accusations. But she also admits, because she no longer trusted Mark, she was also slightly terrified of what was about to happen. (NEED PROOF? Mark “Sees Things”)

“A part of me didn’t give a damn what Mark was saying or what he proclaimed as ‘truth,’” says Amy, “because by that time I was already one foot out the door and I wasn’t buying what Mark was selling. But then there was a part of me that was also pretty spooked.”

Mark then announced that he would be performing an exorcism. Amy says that was the word he used.

“Mark began the exorcism by praying a prayer of protection against Satan and anything else that was not of God. And he asked for a ‘shield’ to cover us.”

Right before he started the exorcism, Mark told Amy that he would be asking the demons very specific pointed questions. “He told me that it would feel like a normal conversation.”

Mark stared hard at Amy and began yelling questions at her “sex demons”. His fierce glare seemed to look past her as he screamed his questions at her face. He asked the demons what their names were. He asked them about sex. He asked them about Amy’s past sexual sins. He asked them about Amy’s current lustful thoughts. He asked them if they were planning to destroy marriages in his church. And then he asked whose marriages were they planning to destroy and how.

And then, according to Amy, Mark cast the demons out.
