    ive been saying this, on this date, every year since i saw star wars in 1977.
    there was a click of us 7 yr olds thinking this was hilarious saying it for a couple of years, on may 4th... for about probably 3 years or so till everyone else forgot about it.
    Im 37 now and i still say it and get a kick out of it.
    i can easily say once may 1st kicks in i start counting down subconsciusly till i can finally say it.

    now would that be considered a custom or a superstition?

    I could tell you how I would describe it, but the shít filter would get all clogged :D

    To answer the question though, superstition and a 'quaer' one at that.

    You should get a horse, call it May, and provoke it. "May the horse he bit you" :pac: Added points for having Yoda grammar

    Jesus, from your posts, I'd have sworn you were about 13 years old.

    Given the date there is also:

    Sclen the Lobin on the 4th of May in Monte Carlo.

    I bet none of you have ever heard that one, although it goes back at least 20 years.
