tuxedo_elf | Damnit...

I just broke a mirror.

That 7 years bad luck thing *is* just on old wives tale - right?

Current Mood: worried

Take a handfull of salt and throw it over your left shoulder to ward off the evil.

Or is it the right shoulder.

Aw, hell. Do both.

Then take a toad and bury it in the crossroads.

yes...but it must be at midnight on the night of a full moon when in virgo and moving into the house of jupiter.

and the crossroads can't be under concrete or asphalt, lol.

very true! forgot about that. now tux...also remember...if you see a man in black riding a white horse backwards while burying the toad, then you must spit in all four direction while crossing your eyes. then you must bite your thumb and say, "Gibildy, gobildy, goo."

*spews diet coke all over monitor*

*mop, mop, mop*

sorry *helps you clean up*

The "gibbeldy, gobbeldy, goo" part is the most potent bit, though. Mustn't forget it.

BUWAHAHAHAHA!

Stop that. *giggle*

*Snork* You're nuts. :P

Good thing I like nuts, eh? ;)

*Hugs*

but it's fun!!!

I hesitate to contradict but - midnight, yes, but it should be in the dark of the moon.. And isn't there something about a chicken?

yes kissing the chicken...but that's if a black cat crosses your path...THEN you do all this at the dark of the moon and instead of spitting you kiss the chicken.

... kiss the chicken in all four directions? Oh, walk to each cross point. I get it. And dig up the toad.

EXACTLY!

i think *scratches head*

No, kiss the cat and throw the chicken over the moon. While spitting. But only North and only on Fridays, with the toad in your pocket.

I think the 7 years bad luck thing only works if you believe it! :p I deliberately walk under ladders and pick up gloves all the time and it's never done me any harm.

Dad broke a mirror a few years ago and I'm sure he'll assure you he hasn't had abnormally bad luck since.

:)

It was nice to meet you Tux...
LOL

*howls* Good one, Thal!

i may be goofing off with aglarien, but seriously...it is only bad luck if you believe it honey. *hugs*

*Giggle* It's OK... you're cracking me up here! :P

Besides I realised that I'll probably have forgotten about it in less than seven *weeks* never mind years!

*Hugs*

That's working only as the Self-fulfilling prophecy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy, especially if you believe it.

I say treat it as a wish of 7 good years, why not? :D

As others said - I ignore all these superstitions, they never do any harm to me :)

What a fun they made with spitting on crossings XD

if you think you're going to have bad luck, it will come to you.

Just forget about it, and replace the mirror.

*hugs*

Self fulfilling prophecy, yes - but if you'd feel better doing something about it, the correct thing is to bury the pieces in the garden. Just after the full moon is a good time.

Didn't cut yourself did you? That's where the real bad luck comes into it, lol.

*hugs*

Oh please, you'll just have pissy elves to deal with until you get a new one. Rumil is already muttering about not visiting until you do, as he likes to look at himself ...well, his butt you know!

It's only real if you let it be. Your luck is what you make of it.

Yes.

I'm soooo kidding!

Don't worry! Just glue it back together, you'll be fine...

I have broken so many mirrors that i would be in for about a million years bad luck! But then again I like to tempt fate lol Hugs Binky x

ok as per rules, I am commenting on your latest entry to say I added you as my friend but since you *know* me and I'm not a stalkerish type or serial friender... I think I can say pweeetty pwease with a cherry on top may I be your friend? :D

and yes, I think its an old wives tale, just like those black kitties crossing the street in front of you on friday the 13th as you walk under a ladder. ^_^

Heehee yeah, you're ok - it's mostly there for the people I haven't previously had any contact with. You are most welcome and I'll friend you right back. :)

BTW if you peek about 4 entries back there are some pics of 'Harry Kim' I took a couple of weeks ago. If you like him, that is!

bah I'll go look now! :D I met him once back in 2001 when I went to a convention in LA, nicest guy and he took a pic with me. :D Saw him again in 2006 with long hair. I was shocked I tell ya! :O
