Possession is 9/10ths of the law

why is it that only evil spirits possess people? what's that about? and why, if you believe the exorcist and the exorcism of emily rose, do they always go after young girls? were these movies all written by bitter fellas who found their favorite gal making out with johnny football hero under the stands in middle school or something? hell, most of what is written has to do with how the writer is feeling that day. it just seems odd that teenage girls are so ripe for satanic possession to me. but then i was reading comic books and playing video games when i was in my early teens, maybe i missed out on the whole heartcrushing deal.

but what would happen if i were possessed by, like, a really sweet guy who just helped other people out. made good decisions for me too so when he left my body in the future i'd be better off than before. would it be like in a coma? or would i be aware of it all? i'm just kinda curious.

i can see the benefits to being possessed for a short time by something evil though. just think of it. once someone has seen you as a demon they're pretty much gonna avoid a confrontation with you at all costs and do what you say right? they're not fucking with a guy who can make his eyes turn red when he's pissed off. that's just a theory really but i think it'll hold up. of course you could have the same deal if you were, say, teen wolf. but based on my completely unscientific research of hollywood films it is much more lucrative to be possessed by a demon than to be a teenaged werewolf. although i suppose being 1)white 2)canadian and 3)4 foot 6 and still being a dominant force in high school basketball may tip the scales towards the whole teen wolf thing. i mean, that is pretty fucking improbable. those are skills you just don't get with the whole possession thing. i think i'll cast my vote for teenwolf.

as per usual i have no point but it's monday, which is inherently pointless.

oh and just so we're clear - when it comes to Hotel Harmon the "no vacancy" light for demons is still lit. i don't need any blog-savvy interlopers messing with my mojo.

have you heard of Multiple Personality Disorder? perhaps you should try it out? it's not demon/evil spirit posession, but it's pretty damn close.

Hey maybe you haven't had a demon in you, but we all know that you've had a little Baldee in you.

Baldee screaming at you, "c'mon jut the tip" still haunts me to this day.

please note that Mule has an infatuation with the less than hetero side of things. in fact, just recently he was talking about getting some friends together for a weekend of xbox, pizza-eating, scotch and beer-drinking and he immediately thought we should call it Fantasy Man Camp. seriously. re-read that. you do not want to know what Mule hopes his friends will do.

Are you sure he wanted to call in Fantasy Man Camp...that sounds like more of a Harmon thing.

MF said...

yeah I'm sure. to his credit, he immediately regretted the comment and we sat in horrified silence for a bit after he said it.
