"Yyyyyyeah, no, did that once already. Wasn't my favorite. And it hosed my 401K."

Next thing you know, you're all three out there robbing blood banks to support their habit...

Actually, this could make a pretty amusing movie premise. They don't make screwball caper comedies any more...

Pfff. When I was at WPI, a couple of the local crystal gazers sat me down one afternoon and solemnly told me that they were Very Concerned because I had no aura, which meant I had been born without a soul(???) and, unless drastic measures were taken, could be used as a conduit to the physical world by Dark Entities.

(Much later, this turned up as the plot of the Green Arrow reboot series Kevin Smith wrote. I've always wondered about that. I guess it's a Stock Trope in certain circles and I just wasn't aware of it.)

I can only assume that the Dark Entities in question were mainly anime characters, and that's why I've spent the last 29 years(!!!!) in thrall to (gestures vaguely around) this nonsense. :)

No, I don't think I've heard this one.
