Title: website problem
Post by: daveB from Oakland on January 09, 2009, 02:23:26 AM: Has anybody else tried this?

I'm not having any luck so far. I really wanted to get some Pharaoh Cards ... those psychic cards they were talking about on the last show. The host guy and the guest guy were nice enough to spell the website out twice, but I'm thinking i still might have gotten something wrong. I know a lot of you guys know about computers and stuff ... can anybody help me with this?

I just tried that, but all I got was a site that had a bunch of naked pictures of this lady (at least I think it was a lady):

As far as I could see, there wasn't anything about Pharaoh Cards over there.

Oh man, that made my day!

And these sites are funny to hear but just as funny to actually see written out.
