Friday the 13th
« on: June 12, 2008, 11:50:33 PM »
Just telling people to beware.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

There I was doing my best to ignore any silly superstitions about just another odd-numbered Friday, and here you come being all ominous about it. Now I'm all anxious and stuff.  angry

As long as it isn't one of those boots from the other thread.

Those $14,000 boots? No, you don't throw those kinds of shoes. You don't let really expensive shoes leave your feet. You just clobber them with something else handy, like a Ming vase. Who cares about those? cheesy There's an etiquette about such things, gentlemen.  grin

When the black cat gets nervous about Friday the 13th, I start to get nervous....  undecided

My black cat just walked under the ladder.

Two cases of ammo showed up at the house today.  The old lady was home and answered the door when Fed X rang the bell.  The beating will commence when I arrive home from work.........chris3

Is there anyone who honestly believes in superstitious crap?  Other then religion, that is.

You mean like sticking chewing gum (prefarably Beeman's) on the rudder for good luck before flying?

Yea, that's a pretty good example.  Is that something which is common among pilots?

I'm not superstitious - just slightlystitious.

Are pagans superstitious?  I thought they were just like..."one with the earth" type stuff.

I don't know if pagans tend to be superstitious or not, but that one certainly is:
