Best Curses Contest

It’s the start of the weekend, so maybe I’m getting giddy or something, but I got the idea for a curse contest from a Facebook post my SIL had on “book curses.” Since ancient times, there were curses for people who didn’t return library books. According to the Wiki page,

One example of a book curse in the Benedictine nuns monastery of Sant Pere de les Puel·les in Barcelona reads as follows:

For him that stealeth, or borroweth and returneth not, this book from its owner, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck with palsy, and all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain crying out for mercy, & let there be no surcease to his agony till he sink in dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails … when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of Hell consume him forever.

Which got me to thinking — if there can be curses for overdue library books, how about cheating spouses? (Although unlike an overdue library book, you don’t want a cheater returned to you.)

Humor leads to “meh” chumps, I swear! So, you’ve got until September 27 (next Friday) to post your submissions in the comment section here. Best curse gets a “meh” mug. (And if you already have a meh mug, you can choose some other cartoon.)

Need inspiration? Check out this site on Yiddish curses — these people know from curses! I like:

A hundred houses shall he have, in every house a hundred rooms and in every room twenty beds, and a delirious fever should drive him from bed to bed.

or

God should bestow him with everything his heart desires, but he should be a quadriplegic and not be able to use his tongue.

or

They should free a madman, and lock him up.

I came up with some of my own curses too.

“May the crazy of a thousand bipolar mistresses be visited upon your doorstep, when you countenance their wrath, naked, with all the neighbors watching.”

“May the Child Support Enforcement Office of the Commonwealth of Virginia torment him with bureaucracy and unintelligible customer service, may they destroy his name and credit history.”

“Your breasts shall wither, your skin sag, and the consort Jason shall answer you ‘Yes, your ass looks fat in those jeans.'”

Your turn!

May you _publically_ get everything you want in life.

*Everything*.

All the contradictory impulses. All the things you want but want no one to know. May you get all the attention you can stand (through involuntary commitment to the state mental hospital for the criminally insane). Incidentally may you have a short commute, since you already work at the state mental hospital for the criminally insane.

May you have the opportunity to explain to police and judges why other people force you to lie. May you have the opportunity to explain to mental health professionals why sex is supposed to be painful for your partner. May you continue to take money you have neither earned nor saved, and may you have the opportunity to explain to a judge why you are entitled to it.

May your child have plenty of time with you, whether you or the affair partner are the person parenting her or not, the better to form her own opinion of your character, and of the type of person she wants to get into a relationship with when she is older.

May your affair partner (and your current extra relationships) share your opinions on fidelity and commitment. May your friends give you the same support and attention which you gave them over the course of our decade long marriage–may your affair partner cut off your access to them by informing you that no one likes you and you aren’t welcome at their events when you are vulnerable and need support.

May you get back *exactly* what you have given in the world, and may you have no way of escaping it.

May you grow old fast with wrinkles, lifeless skin and bones hanging out and can’t even recognize yourself. May people teach their young lads, why not to cheat showing your example.
May you never get a job again and are forced to sit beside beggars and beg for alms near temples and mosques.
May your mother have a shitty paralyzed old age, with everybody she crushed under her weight during her lifetime, shunning her in the end.
May you and your mother have a worst nightmare of life ahead!

Okay, so I’m going to plagiarize Shakespeare, but here goes:

To STBX: Thy infinite and endless liar, thy hourly promise-breaker, thy fusty nut with no kernel, thy lump of foul deformity with all eyes and no sight: may all the infections that the sun sucks up be visited upon you and your rooting hog whores. My divorce cannot come quickly enough from such a beetle-headed, flap-ear’d knave. May you know sighs and groans as I have known them, and may we ultimately become better strangers.

May your manhood remain ever flaccid and limp as you plead for female attention that is forever denied you. May you live out your days alone, with the ghosts of regret to constantly remind you of the beautiful love that you were given but foolishly tossed away. May you watch the woman that you betrayed live a long and happy life as you grasp desperately at the most wretched of whores in a desperate but futile attempt to find love. May you get a rash on your junk from screwing anything female that will spread her legs for you, a rash that will cause the agony of a thousand flaming torches at even the gentlest of touches. But most of all, may you be stricken with an inability to ever tell even the smallest of lies.

I’m not feeling very literate right now, so feel free to jazz this up as you wish:

I wish for my STBX and his current GF all the uncertainty, misery and angst I experienced during the last 23 years and his several affairs, when I woke up each and every morning dreading the thought of what new horrible discovery the day would bring.

On a side note, try googling “curse tablets” if you’d like to read how the Greeks and Romans wished ill-will on their enemies. Some pretty inventive and entertaining maledictions back then …

Following up on Angie’s post:

May you find one morning in the shower, as you begin to lather up, that your skin has become covered with painful masses of erupting pustules that can’t bear the slightest touch. So that even the slipperiness of the soap feels like the shredding teeth of the cheese grater. May the skin over your entire body repulse at the mere idea of a lover’s caress, but also at clothing or bedding, even of the softest weave.

May you be reduced to wandering the rooms of your condo, naked, stinking of your own infection, unable to leave, unable to go out into the world that you so desperately need to validate you. May you realize, with utter horror, that overnight, in Twilight Zone fashion, your body has turned itself inside out, so that who you really are shows to everyone who looks upon you.

I know humor helps, but first I needed to get that one out of my system.

I think Westley’s “To the Pain” from the Princess Bride is most fitting for my STBX:

http://youtu.be/I_keWS1i3RA

“Westley: No. To the pain.

Prince Humperdinck: I don’t think I’m quite familiar with that phrase.

Westley: I’ll explain and I’ll use small words so that you’ll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.

Prince Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me.

Westley: It won’t be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.

Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don’t mean to duplicate tonight.

Westley: I wasn’t finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.

Prince Humperdinck: And then my ears, I understand let’s get on with it.

Westley: WRONG. Your ears you keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, “Dear God! What is that thing,” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.”

Numbers you ask for but
May they always be
Fake.

May you ever and
Always successfully
Take a girl home with
You when you ask
And may she always be
willing to do whatever
Sex act that you want
But may you always only
Push a rope, your extremedies
being
Too numb to feel a thing.

May every porn website
You visit at home
Infest your computer
With a thousand bugs
And may you have no
Backup for your hard
drive.

May all your facades
Fall before the eyes
Of every shallow friend
You made while keeping
Me in darkness from
Their minds.

May they one by one
Turn their backs to you
In favor of a better life

May the encroaching
Crush of lonliness
Drive you to seek
Favor of the woman
Who you crushed before

Your only respite
Being to throw your
Wasted body at
The mercy of her
Heart and may you cry
Tears scald your cheeks
As boiling blood in
Hell the sinners

Only her forgiveness
Break your curse…

But may she have the
Joy of never
Seeing you
Again!

For the record, I did this in iambic pentameter. All exceptions for femenine endings and rhythm applied. It’s times like this that I really, really, REALLY appreciate my Shakespeare teacher and how much emphasis he put on understanding iambic pentameter and all it’s nuances.

As no one or nothing can put a curse on someone like the ancient scribes, I will quote the Bible, for real, because it would be difficult to do it better.

“The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed. The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of heart. And you shall grope at noonday as a blind man gropes in darkness; you shall not prosper in your ways; you shall be only oppressed and plundered continually, and no one shall save you.”

So let it be written, so let it be done. 🙂 🙂

Thanks, mzmama, for making me chortle out loud here in this coffee shop. No coffee through the nose yet, though. Almost there…

May you win millions in the lottery and, because of your financial shenanigans during our marriage, be ordered by the judge to give me 70% of it as an equitable distribution instead of you taking my retirement money. And then, as soon as we divorce, you quickly proceed to piss your share away, being the big shot you think you are, and see all your “friends” fall away when the money is gone.

More importantly, may all those who still fall for the “good person” facade you project see you for the lying, cowardly, narcissist that you are.

Ditto squared, KDL. In the thankfully rare co-parenting situations where I have to be around him (parent-teacher conference, say) it’s become so obvious to me that his flashiness, charm, animation and goofiness are his public mask. But I’ve seen what’s behind it, so his public performance is sickening to me.

I actually have a physical reaction to him now. It feels like I’m suffocating in his fakeness, and yet sometimes I have to stick around to witness how charmed others are by him. I find him repulsive and wish I could slingshot him to the Everglades.

KDL and Rally Squirrel,

I am so with you on this! Had to endure birthday party for our daughter with STBX there — he was all charm at the Shogun restaurant with my daughter and her friends. The waitress (whom he knows “really well,” it seems — an “old friend”), asked him to go to her party afterwards — right in front of me and my daughter (totally unimaginable since the evening was supposed to be about our daughter — not about him), but why does this surprise me?? I asked her if my daughter and I were invited, too. That made her go away for awhile. Then on my daughter’s Facebook page this morning, I read a post by him that he tagged on my daughter’s page saying what a wonderful daughter HE had and how lucky HE was as a father to have such a smart, caring daughter — implying that he raised her all by himself and forgetting that little part about abandoning us this past year so that he could pursue endless trysts with his Match.com ladies. All of his “girlfriends” replied that my daughter was SO LUCKY to have such an AMAZING, CARING, DEVOTED DAD. I am literally sick right now. But there is nothing to do except just ignore it all.

This is exactly the sort of thing my ex posts constantly on Narcbook. That’s why I finally blocked him. Now I cannot see anything he posts, even comments on things our son writes. I don’t even see his name when he “likes” something. Nor can he see anything I write, or even find my name or page. It’s a relief to no longer have his lies and bullshit coming up in my face. I highly recommend you do the same.

Dear GladIt’sOver,

I’m so new to Facebook (I LOVE the term “Narcbook”) that I didn’t even know I could do this. I am going to look for the block feature right now. Thank you!!!!

May you have too much to drink and make a pass at the SkankOW’s daughter in front of her husband, mother, and kids. Then when yu hit the sack, may you be unable to get it up again and then fall asleep and wet the bed with her in it. In fact, maybe you wet the bed nightly until eternity. But only at her place.

May you walk around with spinach constantly in your teeth.

May the government make you the example for how it takes a strong stand against illegal downloading.

May meth addicts move into the condo below you (after our daughter is off to college).

May the company that makes your platinum hair bleach announce a recall, due to the discovery that long-term usage causes Tourette’s.

May your sports team be ahead by 5 runs every game up until the last inning, when they choke spectacularly.

May all women (continue) laugh(ing) at your spandex swimming shirt.

May next week you be referred to by a cute cashier as Gramps in the grocery store, tho’ you are yet only 43.

May your affair partner, whom you professed to “have so much in common with,” prove that what you mostly share in common is the propensity to deal with relationship conflict by cheating.

May skunks find your van irresistible.

May your tombstone have an embarrassing typo in it.

Five years from now, you will wake up to discover that the one “you feel more for than you ever felt for” me, has spent years lying to you, and leaves with your love child. This torments you all day, and you finally have an inkling of what you did to your family. You realize you are xx years old, have lost both sets of children, and have no one that cares for you. The next day you wake up, and go through it again, and again, and again.

ExH favorite movie was Groundhog Day.
Both exH and his new bride/AP were both still married when they hooked up.
This curse would be appropriate.

Mayest thou inner thoughts be the only utterances of which you are capable, and mayest thou be unable to stop your words. With this curse thy forked tongue shall be melded, thy words shall be true to the inner you, and that truth shall set free those who would care for thee, thou will be left shorn of comfort and goodwill by thy own tongue and deeds.
