Default Not that I'm advocating achange but....

Interesting thing I saw on a sideshow thread from the magiccafe.

"Bump a Nose" — Some people cite this as the "good luck" phrase clowns use to each other before a performance, rather like actors' "break a leg." In reality, it's cutesie-poo amateur clown club jargon. A circus clown would be much more likely to say something like "go @#$%& yourself." 8O

I think I'll stop using the phrase Bump a nose. I don't think I'll adopt the other.Trying to keep it G rated and such....
