It's Friday the 13th!

Post by MadonnasManOne »

Haaaahhhhhhaaaaahhhhh......

It's October. It's Friday, and it's the 13th. Freaky!

What are you going to do?

Celebrate by watching a Friday the 13th marathon?

Dress up as Jason, and scare sexually active teenagers?

I, myself, am going to carve a pumpkin, stick it on my head, and run naked down the street! ;)

What do you do to celebrate Friday the 13th?

I didn't even realize! Maybe that's why I had such a hard time waking up this morning.

Unfortunately I have to work tonight! I'm usually not a supersticious person but with Friday the 13th falling in October, it's a little eerie! :shock:

Same with me. It's a bit of a paradox that it is Friday the 13th, as my day got steadily better. :lol:

Actually - there was another Friday the 13th in October... In 2002, I think it was. Every few years, there's at least 1.

As for the Friday the 13th marathon... it might happen. I'm still waiting for my DVD Boxset to arrive in the mail. But I might honestly give my 8 Paramount VHS's a FINAL salute and watch each 1 final time before I toss 'em out when getting my new DVD set. I'm not kidding - they're in terrible condition. Especially 1, 6, and 7. One of my old VCR's started eating the tape of part 1 when it was playing, so now when I watch it, in that scene where Alice and Bill are looking around the camp and no one is there - there are big lines running across the screen and the Sound konks out just after Alice rams the Office Door glass with the board. My part 6 tape has lines running down the screen at the beginning, right after the Paramount logo and we see the dog picking at an animal corpse on the road. My part 7 cassette is a nightmare. The whole thing just looks terrible. Like it was recorded off TV, only it sounds great - it has SP audio but the video quality is beyond wretched. Lines throughout the whole thing, only they're not running lines. Like pasted bars of static that look like very pale shredded white strips of paper. I detest watching these Classic bad movies this way. I like to watch my Bad movies in the utmost quality. :D :D :D

But anyway - I love these movies dearly, and just maybe... they'll make some sort of appearence in the Digest. And my VHS's for parts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 are in pretty good condition. Maybe I'll just watch those. Or maybe I won't watch any of them - save 'em for another day. Refreshen them in my mind later on. When they're closer on their way to getting to my house.

Friday the 13th is my lucky day. That way, while everyone is talking about how their bad luck is going, I'm having my best day of the year!

Funny thing happened... My whole neighborhood kinda blacked out for an hour not too long ago. It was really cool. My first Friday the 13th worth noting! :D

That's interesting - things on Friday the 13th that happened to us, we remember, might be worth noting... The only thing I might remember ever happening on Friday the 13th is when I was shot in the foot.

Those ain't cigars!! :o

My mom was engaged to my dad on Friday the 13th, and they married on Friday the 13th...

I was planning to watch the first Friday the 13th yesterday, but I was out buying DVDs all day, and didn't watch a single movie... So, I am watching F13 this morning (before breakfast, even.)

Can you believe I actually saw a black cat yesterday night? What is supposed to happen to me now?
