A Good Omen

[USAEagle]

Take it like you will.

I drive a Transperth Bus and am a passionate rabid one-eyed Eagles supporter.

Monday Morning there was a dead Magpie on the roof of my bus.

I like it.

Well, I'm not sure what in means.
Did you find a dead cat up there last week, some sort of fell demonic creature from the dark regions of hell a fortnight ago, and a passed out wharfie union hobo the week before?

 

[USAEagle]

Come to think of it....there was a dead cat on one of my routes last week....

 

[ozzult]

Well now we are definitely gonna win!

Well look out for a F111 crashing into your bus in a few weeks time

Actually, I believe in these sorts of things and the synchronicity of the universe and all that. The universe tries to tell us things but we just don't see it... its happened to me several times in my life, even with something as banal as the footy. I remember when I was a child going to see a West Perth/Swans game in the early 80s and seeing a Black Swan being run over by a car with a West Perth sticker on it on the way to the game. West Perth won quite easily (even though Swans had a much better team). There have been plenty of others. You all probably think I'm mad now, if you didn't already

How did the Magpie get on top of the bus? It just died in mid-flight and miraculously fell on top of a moving bus??

An omen alright. Hope we win.

 

[iceman]

With omens like that how can we not win??

This one has come up a couple of times on this board. My sister saw a very dead magpie just before the 1990 GF, so as an omen, I like it.

Lets hope someone drops a flag on your roof soon

 

[carlyp]

Thats cool! I hope it is a good omen!!

Yes, he's obviously a C'Wood supporter.

I am not sure how it got there.

I think I might have scraped through some low hanging branches along Adelaide Terrace and pulled it out of the tree. I left it on the roof until it fell off by itself.

The omen is getting as mangled as the magpie. So you wiped out a maggie with your bus - does this mean that if Scott Cummings was still playing for the Eagles, we'd win easily?

scotty cummings would have eaten all the pies.

That he has one.

There'd be nothing there if Beeennnnn was in the same shot. If you know what I mean.
