Gugny Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The Background: Whenever the Bills get to the playoffs, for each round, I get a bottle of champagne with which to celebrate after a Bills win. The bottle I bought last year for the BUF/KC game is still in my refrigerator. The Problem I'm Having: With 13 seconds left in the game (I'm sorry for bringing it up; it hurts me, too), I went to the fridge and took out the champagne. I put it on the counter, but did not open it because the game wasn't over and I didn't want to jinx anything. Obviously, we did not win. Since that moment, I've thought that simply taking the bottle out of the fridge was enough to get the jinx going. Where You Can Help: I don't know if I should keep this bottle and use it for the Bills' first playoff game this season. I don't know if it's cursed. Should I roll with the current bottle? Or should I ditch it and get a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, obviously, NEVER pull a bottle out again until the clock is at triple zeroes. 5 minutes ago, wagon127 said: You need new bottles for each game, but don't touch the 13 seconds bottle until the Bills are touching the Lombardi trophy. Can't agree with keeping the bottle. Keeping it too close to a new bottle could pass on bad juju. Edited January 5, 2023 by BLeonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted keep the bottle...but wagon127 has your answer. Don't open it for the first playoff game, save it for either an AFC Championship win (what it should have been opened for) or for a Super Bowl victory. But this time, leave it in the damn refrigerator until the game clock reads 0:00. At least we now finally know who to blame the 13 seconds fiasco on...Gugny, you darn jinx. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
