an amusing idea for a taglock curse

[reverendsteveii]

So I ordered something from ebay the other day and it arrived in an envelope that was pre-addressed to a certain congresscritter for whom my disdain is as bottomless as the sea and my rage the typhoon wave. I also have a taste for appalachian folk magick, including sour jars and stuff like that. So here's what I'm thinking: I shove this thing full of hot peppers, rust flakes, and other common unpleasant ingredients for a spell jar and then "send it" by burning it. Thoughts on effectiveness? What would you put in the envelope, assuming you think it would work, and if you don't think it would work what would you change to make it more effective?

You can send a package of Haribo diet gummybears (has to be the diet ones). They cause mass diarrhea, read the reviews on Amazon of you don't believe me. Ive done it before, works way better than I expected. No cursing in the baneful sense, but satisfying nonetheless hahaha.

I think with your degree of focus it's bound to have "some" effect!

Everything in the paradigm, hot foot power, everything that would fit in and still be able to close the envelope!

It isn't likely (but not impossible) that someone like that has any degree of psychic protection, so the odds are in your favor.

I actually know this first hand. It wasn't the haribo bears but there are beverages that are sold as low calorie probiotic and have maltitol and inulin as sweeteners. I got all excited thinking root beer was back in my life, as I had to cut stuff like that about 50 pounds ago, only for it to absolutely just factory reset my entire digestive system over the course of a day. I swear to god colonoscopy prep was gentler and more loving

I honestly hadn't considered what protections they may have but yeah, a target that doesn't see you coming is an easier target (and frankly, if you're gonna send things to my goddamned house then you've put yourself where I go and you're not allowed to act surprised when I'm there).
