paraskevidekatriaphobia
paraskevidekatriaphobia - fear of Friday the 13th
On Friday, October 13th 1307 France's King Phillip IV ordered the capture, torture and execution of the heretical Knights Templar...and inadvertantly started the most widely held superstitious belief in the western world - fear of Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious? Planning on doing anything to fight of the hex? I'll be watching the movie, of course, but miht not be the best day for driving.:eek:

It's been a tradition of mine to watch some Friday the 13th on Friday the 13th--I believe the best way to fight the mojo is to embrace the mojo. Just a little bit, like saying a prayer. Watching Kevin Bacon's bit is enough. Puts me in a good mood.

Tomorrow night's the 13th? Oh... I didn't realize that. I usually don't until the 14th, and then I'm like, "Shit, I could've... had a brief moment of saying 'Wow! It's Friday the 13th!'"
I don't even celebrate the designated holidays of the tradition that I follow, and you think a radom thirteen attached to a Friday is going to excite me?:D Must be all the pot I smoked at uni. Actually, the thing is... Numbers... 13- Coven's gotta have 13 Witches for some reason. 9 is the number of the Goddess. Then there's the trinity concept. 10, in numerology, is the number of perfection, or some such, because it's the first and last number or some bullshit like that. Here's the deal. Numbers equal math, and I suck at math so much that I'm traumatized by it's existance, which is bad, because math is extremely important. So... You see my problem.

Listening to O&A this morning, they had the DUMBEST woman doing a news piece on Friday the 13th (the day)... she had a little pop-culture reference she was apparently wearing... A Ski Mask... For Friday the 13th... She called it a "Freddy SKi Mask"...
People... If you dont want to appear to be an uptight, out of touch "square" as the kids say, make sure you dont fuck up very simple references that started 30 years ago and continue to this day.... IF this lady had been a guy, i would garun-godamn-tee you that he(she) would have been beaten up daily in school... For the record.. "Jason Hockey Mask." As was noted on the O&A show... Jason wears a hockey mask, freddy doesnt wear a mask, it;s his face (and wrong movie, dumbass) For the record, the news person wasnt some old fogey who may have been beyond the target audience of the ft13 movies back in the day, she sounded younger than me, and im 30.
