I'm Scared . . .

[Beregond]

Did you know that I was the THIRTEENTH person to join the forums? Does this mean something horrible is going to happen to me? Should I throw salt over my shoulder? I'm scared . . .

[Fatty]

Ah creepy............and the forum has been acting odd since you joined ;-) do do dodo do do dodo...........................................

[Mirkgirl]

Maybe you'd become an Arwen-drooler and get slapped with fish to death

[Fatty]

Thanks for that illuminating comment Mirkgirl.

[Mirkgirl]

You're welcome

[Catz]

[A! Elbereth]

uh oh Beregond....THERES A BLACK CAT!!!!!!!! dont run under that ladder! nooooo! lol lol :batty:

[Beregond]

Aaaaah! Bad luck everywhere! Thanx for your concern you guys, but I consulted my psychic and she said I'll be all right. She says superstitions don't count if you are online. I sure hope shes right.

Do you really hate Arwen THAT MUCH?

[A! Elbereth]

yes... I think she does.... dont let her see you say Arwen... you know what will happen.... you know what has awoke in the darkness: shadow and flame!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAH...sry just got that quote stuck in my head... i dont even think i said it right

[Catz]

language kiddo.....language.......:shhh: and im sure a lot of guys wish she did:elfeek: ;).......however....
I just dislike her because i dont think she had the right look or the gravitas for the part of an elven lady....she just looks too....fluffy....;) but thats just me.....
:catz:

[Beregond]

Too fluffy? Nice choice of adjectives.

Who had lanuage?

No need to name names. Just wanted to advise of the situation that's all.

Well, Beregond, I consider 13 to be a lucky number.

Especially when you're as evil as I am.... :wicked:

...

Anyway, there's only one unlucky number - 0 - because it's only got lonely #1 for company. Poor 0.

*thinks for a moment*

No... Actually Infinity is an unlucky number as well, because no one will ever reach it.

:)

[Polly Sandybanks]

Well.. sometimes 13 can be a lucky number. But you never know. :) So you'd better be careful. You might turn into an elf or something! :elfeek:

[Catz]

or a hobbit, just as Julia the cooking troll has bought up the last of the Nads....:elfeek: ;) lol
:catz:

[Pil]

11's my lucky number...dunno why... :huh: :p

13 can be EXTREMEMLY lucky, if used at certain times of the year in spells and stuff...but bonos-girl could probably explain better than me! :embarras: :)

[Orofacion of the Vanyar]

Actually Infinity is an unlucky number as well, because no one will ever reach it.

Citizen number Infinite... now that would be impressive. lol

[A! Elbereth]

16 is my lucky number - but dont worry Beregond. But *says like Frodo:* What could possibly happen?

[Kwijibo]

You know on ships they don't have the number thirteen on their cabin doors. It goes straight from 12 to 14.

Word of warning - I'm known for being full of useless facts.

I'll tell you something spooky. In the Ring poem, it goes:
3 rings for the Elven Kings under the sky,
7 for the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone,
9 for the Mortal men doomed to die,
1 for the Dark Lord on his dark throne ... e.t.c

Well, turn around the numbers from the beginning of each line and you get 1973 - the year Tolkien died! :elfeek: :elfeek: :elfeek:
Isn't that wierd? Do think he somehow predicted his own death?

[Kwijibo]

I gotta say this now while it's on my mind.
This place seems really anti-elf. Don't kill me for saying that, I've only been here a day! It just seems that way ... elf :archer:

About the luck thing, I find pennies really lucky, you know that rhyme,
Give a penny to a friend,
Then your luck will never end?
Well, my friend gave me a penny once and we got out of gym, music and french speaking exam all on one day!

[Nessa]

lol

Kwijibo, every time I see a post of yours it contains something odd that I didn't know before......:grin:

re Anti-elfism: Well I'm not pro-elf, but I'm not anti-elf either. Some people love them, others become annoyed with them, I think its all in good fun, really.

I have seen that poem reversed = the year Tolkien died before, I don't think its as much of a matter of predicting one's own death as much as a strange coincidence. But who knows? :elfeek:

[A! Elbereth]

That is really freaky - wow....

Oh and did you know that Hotels are not supposed to have a floor 13, because its bad luck, and ones that do always go out of business or something?

[Nessa]

That I have heard. I've been in hotels without them and with them, and whenever they have them I end up in them. :rolleyes:

But I guess it doesn't matter, I'm not superstitous.

[Catz]

not anti elf Kwijibo....there a quite a few of us Elf lovers about.....were just more restrained in our habits than the rather more.......excitable hobbit perves......:naughty: ;) lol lol
But im one and so is Ilmare, BlackRider is and sos Pil...tho she does extra duty as a hobbit perve too
All in good fun;)
:catz:

[A! Elbereth]

I'm surprised I jsut found out that Pil liked elves NOW. Why didnt you say anything before Pil? I almost died of horror when you said it so suddenly! *faints* :o

[Kwijibo]

roflmao lol lol lol roflmao

BTW - Thanx for your kind words, Nessa!

[Polly Sandybanks]

I think any buildings that had more than 13 floors would freak me out!

By the way, I noticed something when I was in an airplane a few weeks ago. On the left side they had A and B (and a number) on the chairs, and on the right side they had D and E (and a number). What happend to C?? Is that the aisle?? :huh:

Or would C be some sort of unlucky letter for airplanes? Or didn't they like the letter C? Hmm...

[A! Elbereth]

I dont know about unlucky, but you never know! hehe lol The planes I've been on have C.... they usually go A, B, then C, D, E ....er.wait..what...um....argh!:duh:

[Pil]

Bonos-girl: when i went to china none of the planes had a 'I' they went straight from 'H' to 'J'....weird.....

(the whole satanism being linked to no. 13 is a myth by catholics in the witch burnin times about the satanists making fun of th echurch and there being 13 people at th elast supper)

[A! Elbereth]

who said anything about satanism? :huh:

[Catz]

Pil was just explaining the origins of the number 13 superstitions A!Elbereth.....and yeah, as far as i know it does stem from the idea that there were 13 people at the last supper....but every country has its own superstitions.....has anyone come across any odd ones on their travels?
:catz:

[Polly Sandybanks]

I have heard though that 13 is seen as an unlucky number because it's the odd one out. I'm not sure why 12 would be better though!? I forgot that part. :)

Actually, I think it's pretty stupid that some hotels don't have a floor 13. I mean.. they still do, don't they, it's just that they call it 14 instead. Silly.

[HobbitFriend]

lol Sandybanks just reminded me of this time i went with my french class to Canada...
The teachers told all of us students to meet on the 13th floor before we went to dinner. So there i was with a few of my friends and we couldn't find the 13th floor! - there was no button (in the elevator of our hotel)!

We later found out that the 13th floor was actually some meeting hall/cafeteria place. ...we ended up being late asking everyone where the 13th floor was! roflmao

[Black Rider]

superstition is kinda nonsense.

but one time on my algebra final i didnt have time to finish and when there was 1 minute left i checked off the last 20 questions with "C" and i got a 93!!! that was a little lucky

[Nessa]

lol hobbitfriend!

Black Rider, that reminds me of many an algerbra final. lol Unfortunately I don't do so well......

Superstitions can be rather amusing.... a friend of mine refuses to talk for an hour before every basketball game. I suppose thats more of a ritual or a zen type of thing, but she claims talking at all causes bad luck.

[HobbitFriend]

I'm not so sure i believe in luck or superstions... but Hobbits always seem to have good luck. Well, good luck in bad situations where bad luck had brought them to those bad situations that good luck luckily brought them out of.... am i making any sense??? :huh: lol

[Catz]

yes.....but then again, im strange:naughty: ;) lol lol
:catz:

[Nessa]

I get what you're saying... I guess.. lol

[HobbitFriend]

lol i can get really confusing sometimes!

[A! Elbereth]

I completey understand - now your speaking my language! lol roflmao
