Seeing a penny and picking it up
 

For how long does the good luck last? Is it just that day, or does it last longer than that?

I picked one up just over a week ago, and I've kept hold of it because good things have kept happening to me. If I now spend it, will my life spiral into a terminal decline, or will have its effects already worn off anyway?

Do you do that too? Everyone I've told that I do that looks at me as if I'm a nutter.

Oh.

It's unhealthy to attribute fortune and fate to coincidental objects.

"I found a penny heads-up under a couch cushion where my brother used to shoot pornos from and I thought luck was coming but here I am, still in home sweet fuckin hell."

Because it puts the believer into a binary perspective upon their circumstances that often leads them to over valuate good fortune as well as bad all while obscuring the true origin of their circumstances as well as their own power to effectively change them.

money is filthy, don't pick any unnecessary bacteria, jeez.

I know a few people that do it. I'm sure blunderbuss has it in perspective, I was just saying.

Not at all, but it's hours after my bed time.

But, true enough, it does provide some comfort to anxiety.

I bet you're a fucking riot at parties.

"C'mon everyone, let's have a conga!"
"I'll have no part of this sickening display, with your cod-alterity; did we learn nothing from the failure of the Saturnalia?"
[under breath] "Prick" [normal voice] "Ok, cool, Bradders isn't in..."
"Don't call me Bradders, I wish to abide by my full nomenklatura because..."
[interrupting]"Right you are Bradders - who else is up for a conga?"

Don't call me Bradders, I... god damn it.

But, yeah, I suck at parties until I'm thoroughly intoxicated, and then I'm a hoot.

I found £16 on the floor in work last night. One pound coin, a fiver and a tenner.

I pick up every penny I see. I've been told by observers that I might be part Jewish. I call them Nazi fucks and pocket the change.

last weekend, it was a dollar bill. that's like 100x good
luck.

pbr = Bradders 4ever

you touch random pennies but not elevator buttons?

i pick up every penny and then i put them in a jar.

i hate to admit this but i've gone on walks just to find them

I have selective neurosis.

I'm over elevator buttons though....mostly.

sometimes I still use the Lil robot on my keychain to push them.

mostly, I just wash my hands constantly.

it doesn't matter at the moment since my house is a swine-flu reservoir.

mmm tamiflu.

i like to pick it up and see what date the penny was printed.

I pick e m up. money is money.
waste not want not

plus sometimes youfind a very old one.

I carry a 1934 buffalo head nickle I found . it rules

yeah 25 years ago, I found a misminted penny that was worth $125.

it gives you the opposite of luck if a nazi is following you
