what is flagrance?
 |
Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess. Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it! |

Meddling Magicians
Uri Gellar, Psychic? or kick in the nuts? The latter would explain my feelings towards Uri Gellar. I don't believe him for a second, he's fooled (metaphorically kicked everyone in the nuts, male and female alike) everyone into thinking that he has mystical powers. And so, i was happy to see people debunking his abilities. James Randi was a magician in the 70's who did just that. In the clip, you can see a bit (roughly 6 minutes into it) where Johnny Carson (a former magician himself) tears Gellar apart and humiliates him on national T.V, however, this did not stop Gellars fame (I wish it had though).
Like Johnny Carson, James Randi is a legend, he is a magician who shows everyone that pyschics are just like you and me, they dont have powers, just tricks, but they would like to fool you into thinking they do. Go on youtube and just search for James Randi.
Gellar is simply a successful con artist, magicians don't pretend to have powers, they admit that they have tricks but they dont want you to know the secrets to them. Thats fine with me, I like trying to figure it out (often failing with some of the more amazing magicians), but Gellar plugs himself as a psychic which is just crazily stupid. Gellar is successful in fooling lots of people, and his Flagrant disregard for the opinions of those who debunk his "powers".
You are famous for bending spoons, how will you ever top yourself? Get a real job Gellar.

Barra's the name and Upper class Flagrancy is the game. I'm an incurable romantic who is seeking any filthy whore. call me.
My name is David but most call me Armours. I'm an economics student in UCD so that may explain some of my more boring ramblings. I like football, computer games, and being a waste. oh, and my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

Hey barrie thats a great video.
yeh, i simply like how johnny carson used to be a magician and was skeptical, so he humiliated gellar on his show but in a very gentleman like way.
Uri Geller flew around Lansdowne road on a helicopter during Irelands Illfated Atempt to qualify for the world cup against switzerland. It wasn't much use
