Paraskevidekatriaphobics Unite
MilesAhead:
As one Paraskevidekatriaphobic to another, today is the day. Watch out for open grates in sidewalks, ladders with a bucket of paint hanging, and guys selling sunglasses for a buck.
Used to be I'd just stay home on Friday the 13th. No option now. I have to be out in the wild with all the weirdos. I just hope the crackheads take the day off. :)

Heh. That's worse than "lethologica". ;)

It can be handy at times if you have Tourette syndrome. For example, you feel no inhibition about calling some giant football player lookin' dude a really nasty name. Fortunately you are not punched out because you can't recall the insult. :)

Gotta disagree on that one. I've generally had good luck on Friday the 13th (which is rather infrequent), but the tendency to forget words (frequently) in the middle of a train of thought is a real PITA. You know there is a word for it. You start the sentence with all intent of using said word ... But when you get there...total blankness. This is compounded by the fact that I think in pictures. So any time I'm speaking, I'm actually trying to describe a picture in my head ... That requires a word that I cannot bring to mind even though I'm staring right at "it". Trust me...it's annoying as hell. Especially since apparently some dildo created a word for it which I also will not be able to remember.. ;)

That sounds like a good plan, but (trust me) unfortunately it's never the short words that go missing... :D
