Has anyone else here had any experiences as fucked up as the one's in Magnolia?
This week I had a crazy one, but perhaps not on the same level...Ok, so Wednesday PTA gets in that fight at the party right? The same day I got suspended from school cuz I punched a kid in the face, perhaps not signifcant, but get this, the kid turns out to be on the football team and his number is 82. I assume I don't have to explain the significane of that to the rest of you.

Why did you punch him, and did he fight back?
it may just be me but punching a guy in the face who wears the number 82 doesn't sound like too much of a coincidence... or chance... or intersections or strange things told... or any of that
i know its not that strange, i just thought it might be an interesting topic of discussion, and was hoping to hear of other stories that are interesting, i just thought mine was kinda funny
This cannot be one of those things. This, please, cannot be that.
By the way, nice "Boondock Saints" reference. This board is kind of like 7-11... It's not always doing business, but it's always open.
In San Francisco about 8 months ago, just as you go over the bay bridge into the city, there was a billboard for the lottery that is like a scoreboard for the current value of the lottery jackpot, anyways on it were a bunch of frogs and the jackpot was "$82," something, I remember I always thought about it everytime I saw it about "how crazy would it be if it said 82?" and one day I caught it.
yeah, thats the kind of cool little coincedences im talking about
I think it is funny that PTA fans have 82 as their #
and Kevin Smith fans have 37 as their #
Also...Boondock Saints...is it really any good? People are telling me it is really great...but these people normally have horrible taste.
Boondock Saints is one of those movies that few people have seen, but those who have seen it love it. It came out in theatres about the same time as Columbine happened and I recall theatres pulling it for that reason. Fortunately, Boondock II: The Second Coming is in the works.
Boondock Saints seems to be the Reservoir Dogs of this college class. It seems that every college male has a copy of it in their room.
I have yet to see it.
Ehhh....it's alright...Willem Dafoe though, kicks major ass...
So Freud was right...
i thought boondock saints was total crap. shaftr is right. but to be more specific, it's the frat-boy's version of reservoir dogs.
and frat-boys have awesome taste.
and i can't believe [well, yeah i can. shit like this is not surprising anymore.] that the director is going to make a sequel. how fucking distasteful. he made one film that alot of people liked, so now he's going to whore that out.
*shudder*
movies make me sick sometimes.
I remember on the anniversary of September 11th, the New York Lottery numbers came up 9-1-1.
Okay, here's some weird shit a la 9/11 that most of you have probably already heard:
The attacks took place on 9/11
9+1+1 = 11
Each WTC Tower had 110 floors, which is a multiple of 11
The aircraft which ultimately hit the Pentagon was American Airlines Flight 77. 77 is another multiple of 11
American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane flown into World Trade Tower2, had 11 crewmembers. A total of 65 people were on Flight 11. 6+5 = 11
The second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, hit the World Trade Tower 1 at 9:02 AM. 9+2 = 11
9/11 is the 254th day of the year. 2+5+4 = 11
After 9/11, there are 111 days left in the year
New York City (where the major attack occurred) consists of 11 letters
New York was the 11th state admitted into the Union
President Bush ordered flags to fly at half mast until 9/22, making an 11 day period of mourning"
Also, the famous $20 trick.

just for the record i think all this stuff is bullshit
The number 82 follows me around, I swear... It's the number of the bus I catch all the time to a friend's house, I've got the number four times in raffles I've entered, it's always the page I seem to uknowingly stop at when I'm reading a book, it's the number of letters I've typed when I check on a text message, it's the number of people doing my course at university, it's the number of the house I stayed in while I was in Canada... I constantly feel like I'm living in some kind of freaky symbolic world! Probably psycholgical if I'm honest with myself though, I guess...

AAAAaaaauuuuugggggghhhhh
Sorry about that..must control blood pressure.
I will try and calm down.
So, anyway, I did notice another 8 & 2 in Magnolia.
During "One" there are 2 sex scenes.
Melora with the guy who is NOT her boyfriend,
followed by Jimmy Gator with the showgirl.
Both (2) have 8....shall we say "rhythmic thrusts" shown as the camera passes through the room.
Looks planned to me. :wink:
if you look for a number, it will appear everywhere

You want to find the number (82) in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. (82) steps from a mere street corner to your front door. (82)seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.

ruiners.
You can make yourself a pretty decent sum of money using that very practice. Before 1/1/2000, pretty much every hack who claimed the Bible, the Torah, the Koran, or the Los Angeles Greater Metro Area Yellow Pages could be mathematically analysed to predict some end times even was using just this practice.

Hmmm, interesting sentence....let's see.....
2 words have 2 letters and the other 8 don't. :o
