There's a goose on your grave?

Are you going to be buried in a farm?

[lanfykins]

Have you made the obvious check?

I'm not sure whether it's better or worse to do so...

[nevecat]

No, I haven't.

[lanfykins]

It's late November. It might just be cold :)

Be calm, I'm sure it isn't anything too bad.

[nevecat]

*grins wryly*

Yeah. Probably just the air-con playing up or seomthing.

[suave_steve]

Indeed local atmospherics can be wierd like that.

Also why do you say goose on my grave? I haven't heard that one before.

[nevecat]

Variant on 'someone walking over my grave', I think.

another variant I've seen (in some fantasy novel or other) was 'a goose on the grave / just means grain has grown there' - ie there's usually a mundane/rational reason behind weird feelings.

"Cheer up," he said. "Things could be worse."

So we cheered up, and they were.

Usually, when I get those, it means I had too much caffeine.

[lanfykins]

That's a great quote :) Where's it from?

[ashekenaz]

No idea. Our old hiking group leader used to say it a fair bit, and he knows alsorts of obscure quotes, so it could be anywhere.

It's like a curse though. Uttering the words "It could be worse" in the context of any kind of remote unpleasantness will immediately cause events to get worse. Usually in an unexpected fashion.
