Friday the 13th

Anybody superstitious? Anyone seen Jason yet today? Anyone staying in the house because of the date?
Did you know there are more car crashes today than other days?

Alfred Hitchcock was born on Friday 13th.

You've got Hitchcock on the brain!

unfortunately yes...

isn't it a full moon tonight too? doubly creepy possibilities.

Tomorrow is the full moon, I believe...

My 13th birthday was on Friday the 13th.

Well, it seemed cool at the time.

Being a bit of a lost arse generally, I didn't notice the date until about 1.30 today. Then I went off at 3pm to enjoy the sunshine and promptly forgot again. Being an extraordinarily superstitious person, that was a blessing. I salute magpies for God's sake.

My question is, if you don't know it's Friday the thirteenth, is it still unlucky? Been a bloody good day so far, have to say.

Article in The Guardian says "touching wood" is the UK's No. 1 superstition. Followed by crossing your fingers and then walking under a ladder. I haven't crossed my fingers ever that I recall but I never walk under ladders and I touch wood all the time. Of course, I sleep in the elephant god's bed every night...

Saturday is indeed full moon day.

Friday wasn't lucky for me: I paid for my parents' swanky happy-birthday-Dad dinner. Mental note: don't make fiscal decisions after two bottles of red.

It was my birzday too -- and a happy enough day, even though it was very windy & wet. Nothing spooky -- all solidly material, really. At Zoe's (a Greek restaurant) for the evening meal with my best mate, I had a delicious piece of NT barramundi -- lightly chargrilled with a tomato, garlic & dill salsa on a bed of rice -- with Greek salad and a couple of glasses of a splendid local cab sav, followed by Zoe's fabulous 'Chocolate Indulge', which was bearing a couple of tapers for the occasion.

I rented Friday the 13th 10 - Jason X, Jason in Space without even realizing what the date was. I hope it's as good as Leprechaun 4 -Leprechaun in Space.

My favourite was always Friday 13th part 2- Electric Boogaloo.

Happy belated birthday, Cavatina.

I've not seen Leprechaun 4, but Jason X fucking rocks.

I had two History exams and a six hour shift serveing stupid fucking Travis-liking fucking indie-festival-going fucknutting Bryan Adams fancying shitheads yesterday.

ONLY NICE THINGS

19:30 / 14.06.03

I was tripped up by the evil. I was an extra in a film - fair enough. My suspicions should have been tipped when one of the other extras turned up in a top hat with a black ribbon and half a pigeon tucked into the band, and nobody hit him. My suspicions most definitely should have been aroused when Dave McKean popped up, but I already knew he was directing it, and like a fool didn't join the dots. When everyone ended up on a bus...that should have been the clincher. Public transport.

It was a fucking Neil Gaiman script. Neverwhere: the Next Generation. Jesus God....

gingerbop

That was what was so unlucky about the last saturday 14th, except he didnt really get to enjoy the morphine much. Vibes your way.

Rizla: isn't it a full moon tonight too? doubly creepy possibilities.

Sorry, no. Last Quarter.

Friday the 13th has always been held as a lucky day for my family: My grandfather was born and married on fridays the 13ths. No especially good or bad luck to report here.

Good vibes to your buddy, potguns... and hi to Quantum too!

I usually tend to have better than average days on Friday the 13ths... it was nice and sunny today even! Where's the dread and evil? The night is young I suppose... (cue evil laughter)

Ten minutes ago I got a call that a relative was hit by a car while riding his Harley home from work.

My 13th birthday was on Friday the 13th.

Alex's Grandma

03:58 / 14.02.04

Personally, I phoned in sick, stayed in bed for most of the day, left the house for ten minutes to go to the off licence, and then came back home just in time for Theimpsons. Consequently, nothing at all happened, either good or bad. I just wish I could say I was superstitious...

I knew it was February and I knew it was the 14th, but it didn't occur to me it was February 14th until I saw this thread again.
