    You can always mitigate solitary magpie observations with "Morning Mr. Magpie" or "Morning Captain". Perhaps our US bred can enlighten us to their Magpie/Luck trysts? If they haven't already shot all the magpies.b,121b,121Like Wordsworth's Daffodils, I often spot 10+ at a glance. I believe such observations are subject to free interpretation, like 22 = 11 Joys etc.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I don't know if we even have magpies in America. I've never seen one. And I didn't know there was any association with luck. They're kind of nice-looking, though.b,121b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/know.gif" alt="" 21

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Meh. Circle of life and all that. You know what is bad luck, though? Getting hit by a bus. Always leads to bad things.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121Oh, hell yeah. Put me in first class and I'm all about it. I only act in accordance with superstition when it comes to baseball, and that's only because it's a tradition thing.
