i have two more superstitions:
1) i always thought trees can understand people so i usually pat them on the bark.
2) i know that god exists but i don't believe him.

no i'm not serious, it's what hall of famer wade boggs did throughout his career, i thought it was a famous superstition. milwaukee brewers bought all the chicken in the city when wade boggs came to town once so he couldn't eat it and play.

most of my disturbing behavioural ticks are obsessive-compulsions rather than superstitions.
of the few superstitions i have managed to retain into my laconic old age, i am lucky to count:
a fear of killing spiders inside the house, ditto opening an umbrella,
placing a hat on a bed, leaving an unlit candle in view, the ubiquitous salt-spill left shoulder follow-through and an extreme reluctance to light a cigarette with a lit candle.

I am always knocking on wood, especially when mentioning death or possible deaths.... I have no control over it, I know it makes no sense but.....

obsessive-compulsive behaviour: if i'm sitting round a circular table and there's one too many chairs vs people i MUST remove the extra chair so the circle can be closed. sound like a fucken witch eh?

nah, i just grew up in the same part of the world as the characters in that film. as well as gus van sant. so those things are likely picked up via regional collective memory.
it's a tribe thang.
but i did see that movie when i was an impressionable teenager and i was impressed.
there's no logic to it t'all, but matt dillon = swoooon.

i'm not familiar with the hat on bed thing. What is it?
- paraselene0
just that if you put a hat on a bed you'll have really bad luck.

A few years back some friends of mine and I rented a house. On top of each door (on the trim) someone had sprinkled salt.
we guessed it had something to do with keeping spirits away.
or they just really loved salt.

agreed on matt dillon *sigh*
