Triskaidekaphobia = fear of the number 13.

Paraskavedekatriaphobia = fear of Friday the 13th.

Is there something to this number or day being unlucky or is it just a bunch of bologna?

Do you know someone who is highly superstitious, especially on this day?

I know that many buildings skip 13 when numbering floors and I've heard airplanes don't have a row 13.

What, if any, have your experiences been?

I know a few people who are born on the 13th - they ALL claim 13 to be VERY lucky

well I think a lot of people view the 13th as a reversal of their luck. So by that logic, it should be a very lucky day for me indeed!

In the cricket match here on Fri 13th (I know u all know shit all about cricket) the first to players to get out both scored 13 runs.... ooooohhhhhhhhhh!

Well, the day turned out to be pretty unlucky for the people who operate their business down the hall. Someone broek into their office and stole some equipment. They had only been in the complex for about a month too. Sux.

Higher forces are at work here

I live at a "13" and have a resident ghost!!

NO you don't! That sound you hear in the bushes is just Paybarraman... he is a level 7 stalker! haha

Happy fridayday the 13th

This is what I am doing in the safety of my own home!!

Happy day to all & Af is a great bartender [attachmentid=41469]

damn and I missed my flight ..

Daquiri's all round I guess?

Here's a beer I tried the night before. (The porter)

Thursday 4/12 THIRSTY DOG BREWING COMPANY, Independence, OH Our first mid-western micro...come try some OLD LEGHUMPER PORTER OR SIBERIAN NIGHT STOUT

I'll have to check it out. I love porters and stouts...

Nope, they are called "Miami Vice"....a mix between Pina Coladas, and rum runners, made with 151, and a Myers rum floater (like the 'black and tan' of frozen drinks)



they got us all kinds of fucked up

the (fucked )part I believe ..

Ooo yummy.. nice cups haha.

I just saw the rum and had a guess....

Something I never realised about alcohol strength. In the States alcohol strength is bassed on the "proof" of the alcohol (151 proof rum etc)

In Aus and most of Europe I believe we judge strength in alcohol percentage. (Jager is 38% alcohol)

To find out the % of alcohol just half the proof on the bottle

dude... you sell alcohol and you JUST figured that out?

the girls you bring to events must be fucking stunning to make up for it

I sell alcohol

Well I must say i dont sell alcohol in the states. I knew the equation beforehand but I did not know you guys dealt mainly in "proof" while we deal mainly in "percentage"

p.s the girls are hot... check out www.cuervonation.com and go to the Australian link and then click on the link that reads "Meet The Cabinet"

I think alcohol is still marketed mostly in alc % in the states but proof is used more often there as a catchy name.... bacardi 151, hot 100 etc.

I see, the American on tour had no idea of percentage but damn she knew her proofs!!!

Dude, good to see you on the bords. I have left 714 simpsons references on the boards since I have come back and only one has been picked up

i'm here when i can, which is obviously not enough.

obviously... thats like saying "I have had enough beer",

or

"please, honey, i just cant tonight... I have had enough sex for the evening!"
