Being the first day of October (or in my opinion, the first day of Halloween), I thought I'd explore some folklore (if you can call it that).
I recently heard that The Devil, (yes, THE Devil) has an eye for old-school fashions. Apparently he likes those old-fashioned nightgowns that girls used to wear (and I guess some older women still do). I haven't seen these movies, so I don't know from personal experience, but apparently in all those "Exorcist" type movies that keep coming out, The Devil prefers to possess girls in said nightgowns. Which, I think, means he really likes them.
(a scene from "The Exorcist" featuring the old-school nightgown)
I wasn't thinking about such crazy things when a recent visit to my mom's house brought forth a new (to me) old-school nightgown. She gave me one that she didn't want anymore.
And I certainly wasn't thinking of such things about a week later on a cold night at Scott's mom's house. I went to bed that night like usual, but something was different. Instead of my usual jammie shorts and t-shirt, I wore the nightgown, just to give it a try. Later that night, at about 3 am, I got sick. Really sick. Some of the worst stomach pains ever experienced made themselves known. I had to run to the bathroom multiple times for VERY unpleasant reasons, and got hardly any sleep. My stomach continued to hurt for three days. I thought it was food poisoning, but now I think it was The Devil, just trying out my latest apparel. Darn you Devil! I think I might have to burn the nightgown. What do you think?

prior to burning said nightgown you may want to try a few things. check your temperature, ask yourself have you thought that the devil is attracted to other things you own recently, ask yourself if any appliances or other inanimate objects have spoken to you, steer clear of pea soup, and lastly ask yourself if you think you might be crazy. If the answer is NO that is a clear sign that you are in fact crazy. If that is the case, shake your head quickly, saying bagoo bagoo really loudly and you will be fine.......... Sorry you were sick, I hope you are ok.
Thanks for the fantastic advice Max. I'll be sure to call you when I'm yelling Bagoo, bagoo, so you can tell me if I'm doing it right!
Oh my goodness,it's the author of "The Attack of the Killer Jellyfish",she's at it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHA! Have Scott wear it one night to see if he has any trouble.
