RABBIT

Forums:

my father introduced me to rabbit day as a little kid

first day of each month, first word you say, for a "lucky month"

anyone know of/practice this?

Jack Casady does. Some other friends of mine, too, and he and they always say it three times.

An ex of mine, who was from the Philly suburbs, introduced me to it back in the late 80s.

I hope I remember it when I wake up tomorrow morning.

Grew up in Boston suburbs - never heard of such a superstition until this year.

Elwood P. Dowd is an affable man who claims to have an unseen (and presumably imaginary) friend Harvey — whom Elwood describes as a six-foot, three-and-one-half-inch (192 cm) tall pooka resembling an anthropomorphic rabbit.

Is the rule that if you forget you have to say it twice?

"rabbit rabitt"

I forgot :-(

Had a rabbit's foot as a kid. Wasn't particularly lucky for me, and certainly not for the rabbit.

interesting, had not heard of this 

Sounds vaguely familiar. I know I heard about it but can't recollect where and when..

i forgot about the saying it thrice part

(((puca)))

if the campfire smoke comes your way

say rabbit rabbit rabbit and the smoke will go another direction

When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way

My cousin who is big into camping told me you have to say "I hate rabbits" and the smoke will go another direction... what the poor little rabbits ever did to be the focal point of this hatred is unknown to me...

Apparently it was a common belief among RAF bomber aircrew during WW2 that saying. "white rabbits" the very first thing upon waking would protect oneself.

I take a pill that makes me larger and smaller and listen to a certain Jefferson Airplane song first thing upon waking to protect myself.

 

So far it's been working.
