I though that lucky charms were just crap that people sold to tourists? (no offence meant) and apparently a very sugary breakfast cereal in America... :|
ive discovered no such thing as a problem always manages to develop with my pipes even after ive spent hours getting them to work. if a magic rock is what it takes im all for it, otherwise ill just blame the bad sound on an box player...
I have a softball-sized hail stone from the last thunderstorm. If you melt it in a beer glass and stir it really fast you'll get a lucky Okie/Irish tornado. I'll let it go for $6. A sacrifice, but I must pass along the luck..........
Two dollars for my precious tornado! Why I, uh..........uh-oh.....I left the hail stone on the kitchen counter........it's dripping down, down......oh, no--the dog lapped it up! He's chasing his tail around and around and around...Hey! $5 for a dervish dog??
Ooooh, shades of my lost youth. *Holds head in hands* I remember when I thought Lucky Charms was food. My brother and I used to fight over the green marshmallow shamrocks. And he was old enough to know better!
I don't have any lucky charms, Irish or otherwise. I do carry a rock in my pocket, but it's because I'm a rock hound and love to have a nice interesting rock to look at and handle when I'm bored. The selection varies; today's flavor was jasper, and yesterday's was Siberian jade. The fave is carnelian.
Armand, treat yourself to another box of Razzle Dazzle Rice Krispies if you manged to sit through numerous performances of Into the Woods---I thought that cereal was discontinued; you might want to check the expiration date :P
Conan--Never get caught without your towel, eh? Like in that hitchhiker book.
Myself, I have a commemorative coin on my key ring with a picture on the front and on the back it says "Empire State Building, New York, Tallest in the World, 1250 Feet." It is somewhat dated now, but it was my dad's, God rest his soul.
I used to carry some nice pocket knives, but replaced them with a generic little Swiss Army Knife when people started taking knives away at airports--just in case I forget to remove it before leaving, at least I haven't lost something of sentimental value.
Us Pagans tend to have a few charms of one kind or another. Currently I'm carrying a Rowan Twig, an Oak Twig and a Spindle twig. It's not exactly for "Luck" although that probably fits the bill as far as the rest of yis are concerned. Soon be Samhain!
I have a video of the movie "Twister"...I can add footnotes of everything wrong with the film (i.e. driving truck into a wheat field and exiting truck into a corn field)...$1...make that 50 cents.
DVD player falls into the "what did you sacrifice for the music?" catagory---mandolin case won out. "Twister" is such a bad movie the dvd gods would scream and not allow a transfer. I should pay people to take the video off my hands. How about a free pass to the Twister Museum in Wakita, Oklahoma?
Ooh, I always wanted a little sister! I have my own ratty old shoes though.
As for the slow day, jim, I've been straying to other forums. I found some taoists. In fact, I even got myself banned from a forum which states in the "welcome" thread "Say anything you like! No-one will ever be banned from Dao is Open!"
Plus, sometimes I do some work while I'm at work. Nothing personal.
Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed *almost* every performance of Into the Woods we did. (That's about 9-10 times) It was different everytime and I always laughed at the same parts. It never got boring!! AHHHH!!! Into the Woods... Doing pit for that was the highlight of last year.. ::sniff::
So a guy walks into a bar (one arm is majorly shorter than the other) and finds a leprechaun. "Oh leprechaun could you make my arm like the other one?"
a very small rabbit playing a fiddle, a silver ring from the cat and the moon (sligo), and some sand from dog's bay, Galway. The sand wasn't intentional.
(one of the guitars usually has an english-pheasants-tail-feather sticking out of its head)
in past years : an old left boot (Galway), a sod of turf (Clare) and horseshoes (Mayo), the latter now recorded on CD
now, it's my daughters cuddly toy-bird 'Beaky' the snipe (Dublin) that sits on the bass amp
and this summer we've ''borrowed'' a rock from the core (Offaly), half natural, half man-made _and it's not that ''disturbingly different'' really . . .
What's your Irish lucky charm?

Charm? Not much about that, if you ask the girls...
But - I have my lucky Irish booze, right there, in my fridge.
Hm, Kerri - there must be something lucky about freezers.

Re: What's your Irish lucky charm?
2 "magical beans" I got as a gift of sorts for being in the pit orchestra for the musical "Into the Woods". I like to think they work.
Chocolate Lucky Charms rock so much it's not even cool.
... Anyone remember Razzle Dazzle Rice Crispies? I went through a box a day..
Cheers,
Armand
