Bad Friday the 13th for You?

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a healthy respect

for Friday the 13th, even when it comes on a

Thursday or a Saturday

and yesterday,

WHICH WAS FRIDAY THE 13th
in case you were on a different planet
and didn't know

anyhow, yesterday just had to be full of really bad stuff.

It certainly was at my house

How so, you ask?

Well, I spent the day in relative safety

In one of several really good hiding places I had identified

in advance of the dreaded day of doom.

And regarding the day of doom -

you need to remember several things:

1 - If you survived yesterday, and unless you are a

recently dead Hant,

I'm assuming that you survived.

Anyhow, next month we will have another

Friday the 13th, which in February will come

on a Monday!

I is serious. In February, 2012

Friday the 13th comes on a Monday!

As foretold on the Myan Calendar

right there in the pictogram after it says that some Tigers

of the Clan LSU would lose everything in 2012

to a herd of Pachyderms of the Bama Clan.

But I need to get back to my list of don'ts.

2 - If you survived, by hiding the day away, you were smart

but you need to find a new hiding place for next month because

Friday the 13th will get you unless you are really good at hiding.

Hiding in the closet is always good

Not my closet, I got here first - in your closet.

Under the dining room silver cabinet is also a good place

Unless you are a big guy, like Da, who honestly is a little

too chunky butted to be able to fit under the furniture.

but you get the idea

C - Stash away some grub in your hiding places

because you never know.

Since its only one day of hiding, I like to rely on candy bars

and something to keep my whistle wet.

6. Whatever you do, don't push your luck because

Friday the 13th will trump card your hand every time.

Do you need an example of why it's foolish

to rely on luck?

OK, lets take a look at FluffyKitty's day yesterday.

You may not know this, but FluffyKitty considers himself

to be the luckiest cat in town. Cards, Dice, Horse Races,

Roulette, whatever. It does not matter to him at all.

In his opinion, if catluck will get you there, FluffyKitty succeeds.

Over the past five years, he has made a fortune betting the

pony races at the Meadowlands. He uses Fat Frank's Fast FoneBets

out of New Jersey (1-800 Bets-R-Us).

 And he is pretty lucky, but he should have known that

Friday the 13th is always more powerful than catluck.

I don't quite know how to explain what happened to him, so

I'll just let you have a look and you can figure it out for yourself.

 It was a freak Friday the 13th vacuuming assident.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Da got him out. I have no idea how.

I offered him one of my SpongeBob Band Aids, but

he was too busy hiding under the chifferobe to take me up

on my offer of first aid assistance.

I'll lure him out eventually with a can of tuna and

square things up because that's the kind of PolyBear I am!
