Mummified gecko left in my mailbox

Featured Replies

I don't check the mail often, maybe once or twice a month.  Today I found this:

Somebody went though great pains to preserve and deliver a large (20 cm) gecko to me.  They even put it in a plastic bag and stapled it closed.  Am I cursed or something now?

swimming with the geckos?

No it is the ching chook mummy club.  You have to wrap it in cloth strips and leave it a mailbox of a close friend.  Failure to do this will result in 9 years of bad luck

not sure if i should believe you...

but just one less of those expletives screaming things should be one less sleep disruption for me.

Maybe you  inadvertently joined the mummified reptile of the month club. I know this was Gecko month,  next month it's lounge lizard. If you get one of those in your mail box next month, then that's what it is.  :P

I think you are confusing it with the reptile chain letter.in which case you have to mummify ten Geckos and put them in the mailboxes of ten people or you get ten years of the bad luck of having a lot of Geckos in your yard.

I Know it works because everywhere it was tried, there were hardly any geckos to be found:P

 

Next week it will be a bag of dog shit,have you been upsetting  the locals?

regards worgeordie

Put it back there and forget about it.

 

Curiosity will get the better of them sooner or later and they will sneak a peak to see if you found it yet. 

 

They'll probably be disappointed when they see it still there. 

Never mind a Gecko in the mailbox. According to Thai-News, there was a decaying body of a Lady Boy found under a bed in a hotel. Something like that can really spoil your day.

So, never mind an occasional dead Gecko in the mailbox. 

Cheers.

LMAO! Brilliant!

 

Someone in Thailand really hates you.

 

A gecko sealed in a bag sent personally is the equivalent of a voodoo curse in Africa.  They say not only will the recipient suffer the horror of the 17 terrible fates, but the curse will also be past on to all his descendants for the next 200 years. Only way to break the curse is to pass on the gecko to someone else before the next rising of a full moon.

 

I will pray for you.

  The real problem is that those poor primitive people in Thailand who actually believe that an illness or a curse can be placed upon them by evil spirits.

Such a shame they can't see through that mumbo jumbo and superstition like us in the West.

I'll pray for them at mass this  Sunday.........................:coffee1:

Don't waste it.

Dip in chilli sauce and eat with sticky rice.

alternatively, drop it in the rubbish bin where all this mumbo jumbo crap belongs

Get a funny hat, go out and do some loud mumbo jumbo to attract neighbors attention, use some white out to put mystical symbols on mailbox. That ought to scare off who ever is trying to mess with you.

Get another gecko put it in a plastic bag and lay it next to the one already there. It'll confused the sh88 out of someone, when they return to the scene of the crime.

But lucky for you. I know the Nigerian Prince who is waiting for his Uncle the Nigerian King to pass away; to find someone to collect the 87 million dollars and 51 cents, by paying the 245,867 baht tax. So for only 2,457 baht ; I will ask him to remove this horrible Voodoo curse. No need to thank me, my pleasure to help you. P.S the Full Moon idea will only work if you have

a Ladyboy hold your Banana; as you both sing the song YMCA, in Thai.

Yes it's a curse. Recommend you to not check your mail box going forward.

The wife say's it's part of a black magic curse ( isaan) asayasart that you should die slowly like the gecko, You have someone who does not wish you well

Probably just some kids messing about. Wifey never heard of what you are concerned about...

What about his mail?

It is a pretty nasty sign! Seriously, someone is not happy with you at ALL! Thais look on lizards as below the lowest of the low, the expression Ai Hea should give you a clue, it is used to describe someone that they hate immensely, and using it can get you killed. Someone is sending you a very nasty message! Unless this has been done by a foreigner as a joke, then I would be very very careful, especially if you don't have a few foreign friends in the area that have a strange sense of humour.

go to the temple and put it in their letter box

 Am I cursed or something now?

 

On the contrary!

Any random T-shirt shop that print on site.  Take the picture there and the have your tee made.

Or have a polo-shirt embroidered with the image of your choice, if you want to spend a little more.

 

Alternatively order here:

Creepy...

...care to hazard a guess....???

 

...or did you simply refuse some form of abuse....???

 

...really makes one think that....'We are only tolerated...and only for one reason'......

I meant the dead geko, good idea to scare the shit out of a nasty Thai

Woah! you must have done something serious,or owe somebody a load of money.The old Gecko in the mail box is a Mafia warning.It means you will soon be sleeping with the Gecko's.There is a mafia guy aound  Pattaya called Vinnie (the gecko) Scaliseporn.He is the main collector for the  Pook Bar mafia.Its his calling card.Maybe you insulted one of the LB's there and she is now looking for retribution.I would go down there,cap and 5,00 baht in hand and ask Vinnie for forgiveness and just say that you wasnt aware of LB protocol.

It worked for me,but i did something very wrong,cos i got a f#####g monitor lizard in mine.:D
